That conversation Nancy and co were having about Snog/Marry/Avoid and Nancy saying Emily was her type etc. They just happened to have a conversation about her the day before she goes into the secret house? I didn't buy that as being a coincidence at all.
What does everyone else think?

Maybe no scripted as such but.......directed? or prodded?

I think production 'nudge' them a lot these days
…yeah I said this as well yesterday , this is all very scripted and I think has been throughout….maybe BB has always been but blended and mingled etc with all of those natural organic interactions it’s worked fine - but atm script is feeling quite a dominant part…
…. I mean they’re the production for Love Island, I think…?…which is such a script and formula….
Maybe they get prompted or have suggestions fired at them ?
Don’t think it’s scripted

Ahh
You beat me to it ..
there have been loads of times now where the conversation has clearly been pointed in a particular direction. Like i said in another thread, itv are insulting viewers intelligence if they are trying to sell this as BB because the only thing there is in common with the first series is the name. This is not an experiment anymore

Yeah :(
…I’m thinking that what led to George’s ejection/…the night of many debates, the housemates might have been prompted to have those conversations…obviously the exact content and ownership for anything said etc will be the individual housemate’s view but I think that BB engineer these dialogues to happen at that time…they may have done eventually but it’s more ensured by BB…

I mean .... feed the hm's alcohol, make them play a game where it's going to cause conflict and stand back and wait. I'm struggling to see what's entertaining about that, and it seems to almost be a nightly event

…maybe I’m not recalling correctly but (…I always thought…)…that alcohol had to be figured into the shopping and only affordable on a luxury budget…(…or given for a housemate birthday/party treat…)…but that doesn’t seem to be how it is now…there also seems to be more flowing alcohol this season than in the last two ITV ones…?…
yep, booze was a luxury, i think in the same way that cigs were dished out, only on a luxury budget.

And sam and Nancy had already been talking code before BB pulled them up for it..one day before nominations for the fake eviction.
Only thing that surprised me was only o e of them went into the SR.

…I don’t know if there are any smokers in the house because it’s something we never see…/…the smoking area…we got a small glimpse of it last season, I believe …I do miss smoking area chats…:love:…lots of highlight shows would end with a smoking area chat/words of wisdom and beyond…:laugh:…

They showed on L&L that Emily has been talked about loads in the house throughout the show so I think it was just another moment like that. They just haven't shown it before

…that makes sense also, in knowing that they intended for her to return…so more just out of sync and not necessarily recent highlights…

I agree. The house were often teasing Sam that Emily would be back, and have spoken about her throughout the last few weeks. BB just haven’t shown it before.

From the clips on L%L it looks like they've always spoke about emily and the ghost of emily. Just wasnt relevant to be shown in the edit whereas now it obviously is

To be fair they were looking at the housemate picture wall and choosing "one from each column" during this conversation as well.
Not that I'd say the conversations aren't steered at all by producers :laugh: but in this instance I think it cropped up kinda organically. The fact it was aired when it was one of 10000s of throwaway comments made by them during the day was just savvy editing I suppose.

I'm with you 100%
Plus it was probably another sad attempt from BB to try and make Nancy seem interesting.
