This show really is decided by what hits the cutting room floor.
Chris is creepy - show a few out of context looking hugs as if there is something wrong with it
Zoe is stuck up - show one comment about TESCO and keep repeating it over and over again in different ways
Pav is being bullied - show lots of pictures of Pav on his own with a sad and lonely-looking face

A lot of truth in all that, I think the editing this series has been probably worse than any other.

It's awful. This is why we get winners who haven't been shown in a bad light or shown to do very little. We aren't the ones voting for evictions/winners, Big Brother is doing it all
It's just a television show and they do it for entertainment and impact, don't get too wrapped up in it and just enjoy it. It doesn't really matter that much.

If you think about it, it's not really a game show, the favourites get a good edit and therefore win the money, the people who get a crap edit are voted out, a person who probably is genuinely a nice person gets floored by a comment, and a person that's been vile but car crash t.v gets a pass to the final, we as the public don't actually seal the HM's fate, it's the producers and the editing team that do:(

Long talk but worth your time.

I'm currently listening to this. I liked Jale and I feel rather guilty for turning on her because she became bezzies with Helen. I love interviews like this - they explain an awful lot about the editing and manipulation. The public, I too, watch the highlight footage and believe this is the actual footage of the day. The editing is awful. Manipulating housemates and turning them against the public or pushing the producers favourites to make us the public keep them in.
