So apparently housemates get "refreshments" every night after 8pm

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Someone mentioned it at the start of the series then Mark was saying in a conversation with Pav that he thought there was an eviction or something going on because at 8:05 they still hadn't been given refreshments.

Are they living in a hotel?

FFS BB give them potatoes and make them make their own vodka or let them buy the cheapest cider available in Aldi on their shopping list....If they still have one. We never get to see any of that.

Basic rations and luxury budget means **** all anymore it all seems to blend into one with parties being thrown constantly when they fail the shopping task.

It pisses me off that they take the normal mundane things away from the show when that's what I want to see. I bet theres been some great arguments or petty squabbles over the shopping list with housemates fighting over a tin of beans or what not lol

[Ramsay]

this show :laugh:

[Raph]

^what he said. It's become such a joke this year

[Brother Leon]

Let them get refreshments. Dont care really. Better than them sitting around being bored and moping around.

[Jamesy]

Wouldn't surprise me if they get their make-up done in the mornings too. :laugh:

[Tregard]

Whenever they did that stupid Red/Blue task, they got spray tans with people coming in to tan them, and I saw very little fuss. After hearing this, I can't say I'm surprised, I think people have given up on the integrity of the show.

[zakman440]

Can't say I'm surprised. Without a live feed the producers can pretty much do what they want without the public noticing.

[musicfactorykels]

I totally agree with your post.
I was just saying this to someone today, i really miss seeing them do the food shopping list that's when arguments used to break out over who wanted what, as far as i've seen up till now no one has done the shopping list and as you say they seem to have whatever they want to eat and alcohol every night.

Ch5 were even too scared to bring in Jenny incase of a "fight"
This year has been so disappointing it's as exciting as sitting on a chair in my street and watching my neighbours go about their daily business.

Oh well celebrity BB is on soon a few weeks after this ends and i'm predicting there will be possibly one or two people i actually "know" from the uk, the rest will be american .

As for the tasks good god, how lame.

Spice it up ch5 you are losing hardcore fans!!

:sleep:

[Crimson Dynamo]

i hate the basic rations crap as all it does is make them sleep and ratty

[AarynGriesfan]

They should keep giving them alcohol it always makes things more interesting. The American version almost never gives out alcohol and when they do it's very little. The feeds are boring 90% of the time because they got nothing to do. Plus half of them then don't do anything at all because they are on slop all week and aren't getting any sleep. You should be thankful you don't have to watch that.

[LukeB]

being hungry sucks :nono:

[Jords]

it doesnt bother me at all

[LukeB]

i proberly be hated if people saw me hungry :umm2:

[Marc]

They should be starving and dehydrated

[LukeB]

They should be starving and dehydrated

thats abit extreme :umm2:

[Yoshi888]

If the point of bb is to manufacture drama for sake of entertainment then why not give them unlimited booze from day. 8 till 12

[Jordan.]

They should be starving and dehydrated

this + dirty and sleep deprived

[Tom4784]

I don't really mind this, BB used to ply the HMs with booze in the earlier seasons too.

Housemates had to order it on their shopping list.

[Jake.]

The show's a farce now anyway, might as well let them get ****ed every night if it brings some drama

[Ramsay]

It's basically a type of ever cast changing Geordie Shore these days except we get to vote them out

[fitz2k2]

big brother is not even strict anymore.you can get away with a lot in that show

[AbbieJ]

Can't say I'm surprised. Without a live feed the producers can pretty much do what they want without the public noticing.

Have they got rid of live feed now? I remember it being on very early in the series but I haven't seen it since

[erinp5]

I don't think they have lived on basic budget yet .

[clao]

They should be starving and dehydrated

they should dump food over the fence and watch the housemates scramble and fight over it on the floor with that being their only chance to eat anything on that day

[SocietyIsRuined]

Where are the tasks? It's all about sitting in the garden talking and plying them with alcohol each night with Channel 5. Which probably is what employees of Channel 5 do themselves every day. A production team made up of chimps with a crystal meth addiction.

[Marsh.]

The tasks are sh*t this year, it's all "the real task is...." The red vs blue task would've been much better if they actually had to compete with challenges instead of the fake task bollocks. As overused as the "secret mission" tasks which haven't worked beyond BB6.

[Marsh.]

I do remember Steven mentioning refreshments every night when he was going on about what he was taking from the experience.

[LukeB]

the food issue was the reason why i didnt apply :umm2: i should of applied

[Bluerang1]

There's like no point to tasks anymore

[LukeB]

There's like no point to tasks anymore

i love them doing task

[reece(:]

Is anyone really shocked though....

[Bluerang1]

i love them doing task

But they get these rewards so it doesn't matter if they fail

[LukeB]

But they get these rewards so it doesn't matter if they fail

if there was no task then bb would be dull

[reece(:]

if there was no task then bb would be dull
The tasks are usually dull nowadays, I'd have said this back in the hayday tho.

[Bluerang1]

The tasks are a bit repetitive wit the number of fails locked away etc

[LukeB]
