Final highlights staging on Live Feed (Channel 5 release statement)

[zakman440]

Celebrity Big Brother has found itself facing accusations of fakery after seemingly 'scripted' scenes aired during live feed.

In the last section of tonight's live from the house on 5Star at midnight, housemates were seen settling into bed shortly after an ad break.

The lights then went out and Big Brother announced: "This is Big Brother, finalists, goodnight."

The housemates were then shown apparently asleep with their eyes closed.

But rather than really heading to bed, seconds later the lights went up again, the housemates hopped out of bed as Ricky Norwood remarked: "Great take guys, great take."

Big Brother was then heard giving the housemates more instructions in an unusually casual way.

"So housemates, just listen to Big Brother again and err, Big Brother will just say to you that tomorrow is a really, really big day for all for you," the voice said. "It's going to start quite early and end very late at night.

"So what Big Brother would suggest is you all wash your teeth, wash, wash, washing your bodies... and then call it a night."

Those viewers that stayed up to watch the live feed to the end after most of it was filled with silence were left stunned, including ourselves.

You can read some of the reactions on Twitter below and watch the full clip as well, while it stays online.

“Footage shown on the live feed involved Big Brother alerting housemates of a long final day ahead. The show is entirely authentic and the housemates are not scripted.”

Before then they were also shown being told to walk out of the Diary Room individually after their final group Diary Room session. I can imagine that it's standard practice to do this for the final highlights, but it doesn't make it any less shocking.

[Headie]

Mess @ them all jumping out of bed as soon as the lights come back on

[Will.]

lol

[Samm]

mess

[MB.]

omg what the **** :joker:

[Lostie!]

Wtf :joker: :joker: :joker:

[Jordan.]

Wtf so they made them fake going to bed?

You just know the series is gonna end on that fart and it deserves to.

:laugh2: :laugh2:

"Good take guys, good take!". It's honestly like a parody :joker: :worry:

[Withano]

Not sure if I'm more disappointed in Big Brother for being a farce or more disappointed in myself for telling myself its real.

[MB.]

Fingers crossed that if this whole series has been fake, Bear's win will be too :fc:

[Samm]

"Wash your bodies" ahhhh

[*mazedsalv**]

I actually cannot believe it.

I watched it in shock.

Everyone in charge of that is getting fired as we speak. How on EARTH will 5 wriggle out of this one?

[Vicky.]

Can't listen to the sound but the comments and the vid..just what the hell :S

[Jordan.]

Can't listen to the sound but the comments and the vid..just what the hell :S

You even hear Ricky say "great take guys" welp

[Moosething]

What even

[*mazedsalv**]

Jesus, #prayforemmaandrylan when they wake up tomorrow

[Vicky.]

And this was shown on the live feed?! LOL.

[Wizard.]

So are the arguments fake too? I can't trust anybody.

[Marcus.]

Jesus, #prayforemmaandrylan when they wake up tomorrow

i would hate to be in there shoes

[Marcus.]

And this was shown on the live feed?! LOL.

yep vicky also the last party was shown

[Vicky.]

I was almost tricked into voting for this ****. I am not paying to vote in a show that has shown itself to be scripted. I will watch the final but **** cbb from now on tbh

[MB.]

So are the arguments fake too? I can't trust anybody.

This clearly means that as all arguments are scripted by Big Brother, the people who get into the fewest arguments are the ones who are truly rebelling against Big Brother and deserve to win :clap1:

[Rob!]

:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:


It just sums it up really

[*mazedsalv**]

The fact it played out LIVE.

They cannot deny it.

How did they forget they were on air still?

[Jordan.]

Luke A confirmed BB13 was never scripted so it can keep it's iconic status

[Jason.]

I'm just glad I gave up on this series so early but what a mess :joker:

[Vicky.]

OK now watched it with sound and wow. Thats it. Pathetic.

[Ashley.]

Mess @ them all jumping out of bed as soon as the lights come back on
"Wash your bodies" ahhhh

:joker::joker::joker:

[jackc1806]

yeah they probably told them to do this bit and then after that it'll go back to normal:shrug:

probably happens at the end of series, not like all the arguments are fake is it

[Vicky.]

Luke A confirmed BB13 was never scripted so it can keep it's iconic status

Would he admit that the show he personally won was scripted though, as it kinda invalidates the win :hehe:

But yeah, I don't think the civil BBs are scripted, though they are pushed in a certain direction at times IMO. But this..is stupid. Have suspected for a few days now that its a bit setup...ever since the entire night was about the 'spontaneous' pie throwing...all conveniently set up by BB. Have suspected for a while this was more scripted than not, but I am actually quite sad to see it play out like this

[Lostie!]

On the bright side, now they'll have to reinstate full live feed to win back the trust of the viewers. :amazed:

Or, more likely, nothing of the sort will happen.

[Oaker]

omfg I screamed when they all jumped out of bed as soon as the lights came on :joker: :joker:

[jackc1806]

they filmed something for a montage that will air for like 1 minute to round off the highlights show... I don't see the big deal.. if it was a staged argument on live feed then it'd be a travesty obviously

[Greg!]

I've always thought the last highlights show was staged but it's a bit weird actually seeing it happen. It wouldn't surprise me if the fart was staged as well, the exact same thing happened in cbb17

[Daniel.]

Screamin

[Withano]

They honestly owe people refunds for making out this was reality tv (angry voice)

[Vicky.]

WHY would they need to stage the final night and not the rest though? It makes no sense at all?

[Jordan.]

they filmed something for a montage that will air for like 1 minute to round off the highlights show... I don't see the big deal.. if it was a staged argument on live feed then it'd be a travesty obviously

It's beside the point, once BB starts telling them how to act to get a good shot for the show it's no longer 'reality tv'.

[Vicky.]

They have plenty of time to take the genuine footage from tonight and montage it. Tomorrows day doesn't even get shown,, so they have from when the housemates go to bed up til the final begins. there is NO need to stage any of it...

[Rob!]

Bear asking if they're getting a fry up tomorrow and Big Brother immediately replying "Big Brother will ensure you are well fed."

WHAT

That's what I was thinking. They could just genuinely send them all to bed and still get the same results.

[Greg!]

Bear asking if they're getting a fry up tomorrow and Big Brother immediately replying "Big Brother will ensure you are well fed."

Well they're hardly going to starve them are they

Chris from bb15 would say that wouldnt he :suspect:

My point is more

A) wtf at Bear demanding a breakfast - how often does/has that happened?
B) wtf at BB replying to him when that's only supposed to happen in he diary room?

[*mazedsalv**]

I'm confused why they played it out.
Surely even if the first min or so was accidental, they would have cut away, but the fact it was played uninterrupted is more confusing

[Rob!]

I don't even understand why that had to happen in the first place? BB told them to get an early night anyway so why would they need to do this??

[MB.]

Chris from BB15 confirmed they did it in his series, purely because getting them to go to bed at the same time is impossible...

But why do they specifically need that scene? Can't they just end it on a shot of them all sitting together in the Diary Room, or having fun in the garden, or do what they used to do and have those creepy disembodied voice quotes from housemates long passed (RIP Saira, we hardly knew ye)? It just smacks of them planning what they're going to air before they've even filmed it

[jackc1806]

B) wtf at BB replying to him when that's only supposed to happen in he diary room?

It happened on the final night of BB17 too, were BB was answering their questions in the pod- people on here found that funny then if I recall correctly..

Hardly like BB said 'Yes bear, we'll give you a breakfast tomorrow' - He just said 'BB will ensure you're well fed'

Well I'm not a producer, but if they decided that's what they want to end on its what they want to end on. I'm sure if a natural argument explodes after they'll show the argument then put the last scene in at the end. Not like they need the scene, but it's what they usual end on so they've done it in 2 minutes instead of hanging around til 2am waiting for everyone to go to bed, then waking the sleeping housemates to say goodnight. Not necessary, but that's what there doing. :shrug:

[jackc1806]

Because it's not a huge issue and the 'fixed' accusations are annoying. Yes, the show has been selective in its editing towards Bear and shady with the edits sometimes, but nothing new. That's more of a cock up than this. It's funny to see it play out, but it doesn't bother me like it has some on here.

[Withano]

ah k, thats even stranger then :laugh:

Im with you here.. I just have a mental image of a few producers sat bored at their desk wanting to edit the highlights asap and then thinking OH **** WE'RE LIVE BIRDSONG PRESS THE BIRDSONG BUTTON.

They shouldn't need them to go to bed at the same time. They only do because they have a hard on for cringey montages that aren't needed or wanted.

[Northern Monkey]

I'm honestly not shocked.For the past couple of years i've saying that some of the convos were set up.The way the camera zooms in just at the right time for them to start speaking.It's been very obvious.

Yes, to me, for them to have to say this implies that the lot of them are proper dirty bastards who need to be told to wash? But the choice of words was creepy. Having to tell them to brush teeth too :umm2: Unless they want 'body washes' and teethcleaning scenes for the montage too :D

Alex is one of the house directors (in charge of the cameramen in the runs/the overheads) iirc, so he wouldn't have been in charge of the staging.

If the producers or anyone relevant is reading this, can you fasttrack my husband onto the next civilian BB please. He is doing my head in about it now and saying its my fault he hasn't been on yet as I get pregnant (on my own eh?) everytime a series is due to start :laugh2:

[Rob!]

There's a big red box that says live in the gallery apparently whenever it's live so channel 5 presumably don't mind us seeing this bit. I think people are just a bit disappointed. In retrospect I guess if it's just that one shot then it doesn't matter that much but...eh.

So is that guy tweeting the one to thank for allowing this to be exposed when they could have gone to a shot of the garden instead :think:

Maybe so, but it still highlights what is so wrong about what this show has become.

The nomination tampering, the possibility that it can be scripted in this sort of way, the changing the rules of voting after 23 hours of lines being open (Marnie/Chloe Bottom 2).

It is amazing to me how people continue to defend the producers of this show when it has so completely urinated over its long standing and well liked format.

[Ian Coke]

Not sure if I'm more disappointed in Big Brother for being a farce or more disappointed in myself for telling myself its real.

More disappointed in yourself, of course!

[ThriceShy]

I suspected there was something staged about Bear's diary room tantrum too because that door broke way to easily.

I got the feeling this series that every group convo was either scripted or at least cued by the producers.

It's over. We need to find something else to watch.

[iRyan]

They do this every series, it always looks obviously staged. No surprise really.

[armand.kay]

Hmm is it just be who doesn't really care? lol I'm actually more fascinated then I am angered by this.

[bots]

i don't understand why people are so surprised, its been so obvious for a while that the whole thing is staged :joker:

[Yaki da]

They do this every series, it always looks obviously staged. No surprise really.

Never used to do it on Channel 4. You know why... There was 24/7 live coverage and they weren't interested in making everything fit nicely. They were interested in presenting the reality of the day.

If the last two up on the last night were Anthony and Craig, than that's what would be shown. You wouldn't get direction from the production for scenes.

I really don't get some of you. You don't seem to understand the slope this show has been on for the last few years...


1. They used to interfere with noms every now and then and were allowed to get away with it. Now it's non-stop and to such an extent no one knows what the rules even are anymore. We just know that they make those up depending on what result they want after the noms have come in. The show is well on its way to being an outright fix.

2. They never would have allowed housemates to be evicted without a public vote in the past. The first time they did it was with Marlon a couple of years ago and then despite the complaints they then did it a week later with Danielle as well. In the last series it was even worse. And in the next series it will get worse again. Why? Because people just will defend it! You will have a situation soon where someone who the public have just voted to save will be evicted the following night by the housemates in some "Twist" the production team seem to think is really exciting rather than just alienating.

3. Now there's them directing a scene like this. Yes, it may be a one off. They may have done it before on Channel 5, but the moment you start doing stuff like this, the possibility is already there to do more of it. Big Brother is supposed to be a raw reality show. Not like all this other scripted reality crap that infests television. why do shows like BB and even X Factor and BGT incorporate this stuff? They have their own tried and tested format that are popular with the audience, and then because some of other shows, like TOWIE, are popular with an audience (though much less popular than any of the shows I've mentioned) they allow them to influence them and usually to the complete ambivalence of most viewers.


I've tried to argue again and again that this show had a perfect format that didn't need to be tampered with at all. The only thing they needed to do is find a good mix of housemates and it would work beautifully. Instead, they destroyed the format of this show and seem to just get worse year after year, to the point where even hardcore fans have just given up trying to understand what the hell is going on. It's a total mess.

[wendywillow]

they knew it was being aired live, probably thought the viewers would enjoy seeing how they film those bits....but one you start peeling that onion

[bots]

One has to ask the question why did they schedule all those takes to happen late at night during live feed, when they had the whole day to do them. I think the producers are trying to introduce the idea that it is a scripted show rather than reality, to set it all up nicely for the next series where they wont even pretend its reality :pipe2:

[Firewire]

Are people pretending to be surprised?

[Pete.]

A damn mess

[Yaki da]

Are people pretending to be surprised?

I should be surprised that they are so inept they actually aired it on the live coverage. But I'm not even surprised by that now.

Ricky said as much at the beginning of live feed when Bear asked if he thought they would get more alcohol, he said they will tell us what they have laid out for us for the evening or something along those lines :laugh: I've said for years that certain events were too coincidental and must have been staged but have been shot down by some :idc:

That doesn't sound too bad. Them going to the diary room and asking for alcohol and being told whether there will be or won't be is fair enough. if they are essentially telling them there will be a party later and they want them to act in a certain way, then that's a problem.

It's just the idea that you would even script a scene that opens the possibility of them doing more of that. Add to it the lack of any rules for noms now, the twists that seem to be designed to work against certain people, evictions without public votes and even changing what the rules of a vote are in the last hour (Marnie/Chloe eviction), and it really has hit an all time low. Rylan being able to rehearse for the X Factor tour was ridiculous and who knows what that consisted of. He was no doubt going off to another studio every other day. The show is beyond saving at this point unless they get someone in who actually genuinely cares for it, which even us sad cases on forums don't anymore.

Ricky wasn't talking about alcohol! he was saying they would have to wait and be told what to do, which could understand if he said that at 11am as they might have a task? But at midnight do they need to be told what do to do?

Yeah but was that in regard to the final tomorrow (now today)? The producers have always told them what sort of time they need to be sat down for evictions and whether or not there might be some alcohol coming later. That's all fair enough. It's the scripting of a scene that troubles me. Along with all the other crap.

The producers have always told them what sort of time they need to be sat down for evictions and whether or not there might be some alcohol coming later. That's all fair enough. It's the scripting of a scene that troubles me. Along with all the other crap.

No he said they would have to wait and see what BB had laid out for then for the rest of the evening,ie as in last night :laugh: he didn't say tomorrow, because they were talking about alcohol and whether they would get any more I'd have to again for exact words but that was the gist of it

Really folks, we can not waste any more money on this crap. I am disgusted.

[Paula D]

They do this every series, it always looks obviously staged. No surprise really.

They definitely didn't do in the early years. But maybe since Channel 5 took over they have.

[Alf]

I can't make anybody do anything, but I'd suggest people shouldn't vote tonight, and I'd also suggest people should take to social media asking others not to vote.

People power!

A rep for Celebrity Big Brother told The Sun Online: “Footage shown on the live feed involved Big Brother alerting housemates of a long final day ahead. The show is entirely authentic and the housemates are not scripted.”

As if that;s all they can say :joker:

[bots]

entirely authentic, staged production .... Good take everyone :joker:

[*mazedsalv**]

I just find it odd that they put it out there.

They KNEW Live Feed was on, director of BB said in the editing/screen room, there is a box on screen whenever they are live and being broadcasted. So they knew we could see what we were seeing. So i find it more bizzare. They clearly all knew they were on air.

PLUS, live feed is on a delay, so if they wanted to hide it, they easily could have.

Makes no sense. Only reasonings i can think:

1. BB wanted to show us how they prepare for the final night for some reason
2. Someone was sacked, and managed to make all those people not intervene when doing this. Probably held them at gunpoint :shocked:

Seriously, no other explanations, they can't have been that stupid.

Paranoia! Saying #BBUK or #CBB are scripted implies collusion from hms. If it were true the beans would have been sold to The Sun years ago.

[RichardG]

yeah they probably told them to do this bit and then after that it'll go back to normal:shrug:

probably happens at the end of series, not like all the arguments are fake is it

this

i don't care if they have to stage a goodbye montage on the final night, that's fine by me. despite what people insist i just don't believe at all that the rest of the show is scripted. i don't see any problems with the footage in the op, i thought it was pretty cool seeing it happen.

Screaming at the denial. They should just be honest and admit that they stage things for the final show it's really not that big of a deal

They are that stupid. Look at what they've done to the show in so many other ways. They've destroyed it. The real question is why do people still defend them? It is the worst produced show on television by some distance. And the only reason it is still watchable at all is purely because of the HMs being good characters in some cases. Other than that, everything about the show is terrible.

No one is saying the whole thing is scripted. But they could never even have done this back when there was a live feed. And the very idea that they think it's worth doing is silly. If the housemates aren't altogether on the final night, then just show that. Don't make stuff up because you think it will look nice.

Again and again and again the so called fans of this show defend them. The interference with nominations is now out of control. The evictions of housemates without a public vote is heading in a similar direction. The "twists" are so f'n ridiculous the majority of viewers groan whilst Emma Willis looks like a dumbass trying to pretend she's excited. It's bordering on the unwatchable at this point and the solution is so bloody simple... 24/7 live, normal noms and a good mix of big characters. That is all Big Brother has have had to rely upon and they refuse to respect that.

[smudgie]

No surprises there then.
How many times has it been said that the romances are scripted.
It wouldn't surprise me if the scripts were up on the wall in that toilet, it sounded as if they were reading from script, nothing flowing naturally in the conversations.
The dancing was odd as well, four of them dancing together like a dance troupe and then Bear and Marnie larking about in the background, totally weird.

[Razor]

Channel five need to be removed from hosting BB. The show has just gone downhill massively since its inception.

[hot2go]

Well I'm not a producer, but if they decided that's what they want to end on its what they want to end on. I'm sure if a natural argument explodes after they'll show the argument then put the last scene in at the end. Not like they need the scene, but it's what they usual end on so they've done it in 2 minutes instead of hanging around til 2am waiting for everyone to go to bed, then waking the sleeping housemates to say goodnight. Not necessary, but that's what there doing. :shrug:

I tend to agree with you here....I can understand the need to set up a scene if its been pre decided that's what the producers need as their final shot ....but what I HATE is that BB has become so TWEE and so FAKE and PATRONISING to the fans....
I don't want a " Goodnight John Boy, Goodnight Mary Ellen " American style pile of sh-te to end the show on...I also don't need the shows ultimate grim reaper Rylan feeding me more of his pretentious crap by claiming the housemates had no idea he was in there, with a camera crew and a lighting crew and the sound engineers and the wardrobe people and the live audience and the celebrity guests and the friends and family....ALL OF THIS TAKING PLACE AND HAVING TO BE ORGANISED ...while the housemates, all of whome are seasoned players, sit for hours and hours in the garden having not worked it out and clearly having never seen any of the previous seasons where they always end in the same way.
How can viewers say they like Rylan Clark when he shows so effortlessly how easily he can and is prepared to lie to people and con his way to the top. He is an abomination and his arrival marked the begining of the end for BB.

I've got people I know gloating and laughing today at what they see as final proof that the show is rigged, fixed and no different to TOWIE, GEORDIE and all those other programmes made for morons that I never watch...I feel like a fool and even though I respect there HAS to be planning and negotiating with the housemates to prepare the final I see no reason and never have as to why there has to be a BOTS live from the house other then yet another platform for that hideous specimen of a human being Rylan " Me Me Me " f-cking Clark.

Channel Five have finally killed the show and they started the day they put that prick on the spin off show.

A day of morning as far as I am concerned.....I'm gutted

[hot2go]

None is us should vote tonight...none of us.....f-ck em....it's the only way we will ever get respect and be listened to....starve the b-stards of their money....we have to let them know that we do not accept this bull sh-t.

[Vicky.]

I have calmed down a lot after my hysterical outburst last night. I still don't think they should do this though. I don't care if they don't have a shot of them all going to bed together for the final shot or anything ffs...does anyone?! Much rather have truth than this bull. It does make me wonder too if some of the more..controversial things are setup. Especially as they tend to put in so many 'reality-scripted' stars these days who would be able to do it all easily.

Thing is, if we, the fans, question if other elements of the show are staged and scripted then people who aren't fans and the press especially will never be convinced it's real again....I think the show has just died. And I can't see Emma sticking around after this. They will prob put Rylan in her spot and turn the whole thing into one big fake circus.

[Yaki da]

I hope Emma goes. Because the show is over the moment she does. She's about the only thing that makes it look at all professional (She's good at her job regardless of what anyone says).

I wish I could find it funny but it's impossible for me because I absolutely loath Rylan Clark. For me he represents everything that's gone wrong with entertainment in this country. The biggest example of how untalented people are celebrated while real creative and proffessional artists are out of work.

I'm genuinely curious Salv... Why do keep defending what this show has become?

The nomination procedure at this point is farcical (Does anyone know what the rules are?). HMs are being evicted without public votes. They are changing what the rules of a public vote are at the last moment. They are getting the housemates to actually film scenes for a HL show (maybe it is just for the final episode but that's bad enough and puts them on a slippery slope). They allow celebs out of the house. They kick them out for reasons we are assured would be offensive if we saw it, but they don't actually show us what it is that is supposed to be offensive. And what is the point of warning people about the show having scenes that may cause offense anyway?

Why would any real BB fan want this show to continue along this path?

There are other ex BB contestants who were shocked by what happened on the live coverage...

Interesting that Chloe says nothing like this happened in BB16, when they also had a "goodnight housemates/goodnight Big Brother" scene... maybe they can do those scenes without having to stage them after all...

[starry]

awwwww they all luv Big Brother, ain't that sweet?



I don't know why anyone is surprised, scenes have been set up for years. It goes with the manipulation. Not letting HMs decide for themselves which role they should play in tasks was one of the turning points. And the final point of no return was when they stopped 24/7 live feed. Do you really think they did that out of financial cost like they said? It's more a matter of how scripted something is rather than whether some scenes are set up or not. There's no way they have cameras running all the time. They used to show everyday things happening in the house, now it's based around specific scenes and has been for a while. The producers have had their favourites and storylines over the years, some of the audience buy into it and some don't and pick a lesser known HM or anti-favourite or switch off.

[Firewire]

To be honest, at least they don't crop housemates out of scenes.

[Lostie!]

UPDATE: Channel 5 have released the following statement:



I've also updated the OP with a longer clip.

So they've nothing to say on the matter of them faking the "housemates go to bed" scene? :laugh:

[starry]

It'll be interesting if they show this in the show tonight, with the requisite music overdub.

[starry]

They have plenty of time to take the genuine footage from tonight and montage it. Tomorrows day doesn't even get shown,, so they have from when the housemates go to bed up til the final begins. there is NO need to stage any of it...

That's assuming they are always filming, when 24/7 live feed ended that always came into question.

[Glenn-C]

According to Hughie it was done for BB17 too

[Serg]

It's just a standard procedure of course lol. Why the outrage.

[starry]

Hughie/Ryan was fake as hell, probably encouraged by the producers.

[drantb]

I've always said they probably don't script it but definitely manipulate certain outcomes. This is just ****ing awful though. Axe it tbh.

OR, go full damage control and give us a proper series of BB.

[zakman440]

After all this they left it out :laugh:

[Jøsh]

After all this they left it out :laugh:

It's like wanting a sandwich, then saying no when it's made.

[Maru]

The timing of this clip couldn't be worse for BB imo...

Bear's chosen one 'ascension' to the top makes a lot of people question the legitimacy of the show. The editing has been very sloppy, if not entirely favorable towards one single housemate. This among, all the warnings he's received and the amount of turmoil he's been allowed to reap is crippling the show... so whether some people choose to believe based on this clip, that the entire show is more or less scripted (etc) it's not really the point... they've damaged the credibility this series in so many other ways at this point that this is only the icing on the cake.

This clip wouldn't have had the impact it has had otherwise. People just would've been like "Oh they film that for the finale... clearly it's not proof, they've shown it on LF", etc etc

That is all Big Brother has have had to rely upon and they refuse to respect that.

I feel like every time I come on this forum all I ever do is moan about the state of the show right now. :laugh: But this to me is just not an issue. If they want to create a goodnight montage on the final episode then they can, I couldn't care less. I don't see a problem with it.
