Times when production went too far?

[Ashley.]

- Makosi vs. Vanessa housemate eviction (saving Makosi's ass) (Big Brother 6)
- All housemates facing eviction because Siavash refused to nominate (saving Marcus' ass, god rest Hira's soul) (Big Brother 10)
- Deciding which housemates moved to the White Room (favouring Conor's alliance over the Outsiders) (Big Brother 13)

What other times have production taken their power over the game a little too far?

[Pete.]

Big Brother 15: Power Trip

[Pete.]

Big Brother 16: Timebomb

[MB.]

They didn't choose which housemates moved to the White Room, the housemates had to choose between the housemates with the fewest nominations that week

[Moosething]

Perez

It was the housemates with the fewest nominations in the entire game, not just for that week.

[GLENN BILL BB7]

In the Charley show in week 3 when she talked about nominations with Billi they punished them by taking there votes away which meant that Charley wasn't up for Eviction anymore, Producers clearly needed to save the Queen of the show!

[waterhog]

when they made deadwood the stars of the show and that series flopped.

[Pete.]

When Toya was unfairly nominated

[Rob!]

Instructing Chris to lick Ashleigh. :nono:

[MB.]

It was the housemates with the fewest nominations in the entire game, not just for that week.

No, it was for that week.

[Lostie!]

It was the housemates with the fewest nominations in the entire game, not just for that week.

No it wasn't, it was just between those with the fewest nominations that week, and those four made the decision between them which three would go in. I despise that twist because of the result, but they didn't manipulate who went in at all.

Okay, but they manipulated who didn't get to go in.

- Final Pass
- BB16 4in4out

[Jason.]

Putting Ashleigh up for eviction, when they promised she would be immune, and then the producers saying "No Comment", after all the backlash it received.

You know you've gone too far, when the host of the show questions the producers agenda.

Evicting Danielle without a public vote.

4in4out.

[reece(:]

Giving dullards Pav and Zoe the power to evict.
Toya losing her Power status.
4 in 4 out.
BB11 quad.
The amount of times the halfway housemates were swapped around in BB8 to save Ziggy and Liam.
The face to face noms nowadays.

When Toya was unfairly nominated

They didn't go too far that time. They made it clear from the start that the Power Couple weren't safe.

Yeah, they really need to stick to a strict punishment when someone discusses nominations.

[Jack_]

Um the Makosi vs Vanessa house vote at the end of Lie Week is one of the best twists of all time, and I detect shade against Makosi which is a ban worthy offence tbh

Any twist that saved Marcus over Hira is also a good one

The real answer is BB11's quadruple eviction, robbing us of one of the best, most deserving and unpredictable finale's in BBUK history. Instead we were left with the opposite.

Putting Nikki back in with eligibility to win

[zakman440]

Pretty much what everyone has said, but also:

- Rylan being let out of the house for X Factor rehearsals without viewers being told.
- Mario Falcone being let out of the house to obtain a visa without viewers being told.
- Sam Faires being allowed to write her OK! column with a journalist in the house without viewers being told.
- A member of the task team being in the house to direct a task without viewers being told (see below).

- Perez being begged to stay after being told that the ratings were up without viewers being told.
- Hopkins being allowed a laptop in her private room without viewers being told.

[Withano]

- Makosi vs. Vanessa housemate eviction (saving Makosi's ass) (Big Brother 6)


I agree with the others you said but not this, I would love c5 to redo this.. the audience 'nominated' these two and the house voted Vanessa out over Makosi. It was brilliant to watch.

It'd be the equivalent to watching the house vote between Simon and Marc, and that's hilarious in my book.

:clap1:

Sensing a theme here and I agree totally. I don't mind the producers messing with the housemates, they deserve it lol. But they should respect their audience

WTF?! I dont think I knew about this. Thats mental.

[Denver]

For be BB11 Qaud eviction as they knew it was Josie only chance to win

[Lampfan]

Putting Nikki back in with eligibility to win

Came to say this. Really ground my gears that did.

Although her feeble 5th place finish did make up for it a little bit.

She was evicted unfairly though, to be honest. That vote should've been a vote to save. The people who liked Nikki had 10 other people to vote for, so the Nikki fans' votes would've been split between those 10 people. 64% wanted Nikki to stay.

Josie would've won over Corin, John James, Steve and Sam, though.

[VanessaFeltz.]

BB15: Killer nomination
BB15: Final pass
BB15: All male eviction (randomly saying this week is a girl power)
BB15: Safety app
BB15: Danielle eviction
BB15: Ashleigh going up when we voted for her to be a power housemate

CBB15: Perez randomly going to the secret house then having a poll if he is gonna be in final or he was gonna be nominated

BB16: Simon getting 2 weeks of immunity (he basically had immunity from 4 in 4 out)
BB16: Jack getting 3 weeks of immunity
BB16: Nick nominating before the house so house could gang on Sarah&Adjoa
BB16: Swapping noms in week 2 out of no where
BB16: 4 in 4 out (Hey you 6 congrats on getting 1 nomination or no nominations here is your prize 4 of you will be evicted)


In general: 1) Revealing nominations to the other housemates
2) Changing nomination rules every single week
3) Outside info (that is basically manipulating everything)

A general answer to the question how biased is the edit for the HL shows.How many are involved in deciding what is shown to us for 45mins each night.

I have often seen members on here asking for a return of or more of the live feed and even allowing for the silly bird noises I wonder if the reluctance is in part due to the producers then having less power to influence our vote.?

Spot on. The highlight shows are their only chance of swaying the votes to gain more ratings by keeping in entertaining housemates. Having a live feed gives them no power, and they like having the power.
