My complaint to Ofcom. What do you think?

[Gavin]

This is my complaint to Ofcom regarding Big Brother's biased editing and their exclusion of Lisa's nominations conversation:

To Ofcom,

I am sending you another complaint regarding Channel 4’s Big Brother.

I feel that the editing of the show has been completely manipulated in such a huge manner, that the viewing public and voters are being lied to, suggesting a breach of broadcasting regulations.

On the Big Brother live feed on Sunday 5th July at 00:41am, there was a conversation between the housemates Lisa, Karly and Dogface about nominations. The trio were clearly talking about nominations in code (including the covering of her face from Lisa), which is in breach of the fundamental Big Brother rule stating: “It is not permitted to discuss nominations, or try to influence anyone else’s nominations.”

If Big Brother had acted accordingly to the rules, the trio would have been punished. This punishment has altered in the past, but has frequently been the exclusion of nominations from housemates involved with such a breach.

However, in the transmission of the episode on Sunday evening, the conversation was completely missed out by the editors. This is a serious violation of the rules regarding “fair editing” of the show.

As a result of not showing this conversation, the housemates were not shown breaking the rules and Big Brother took no action. This is a blatant cover up to the public and the voters.

Therefore, the competition rules have been infringed by the editors as viewers are told to vote to evict people who perhaps should not be up for the vote if the appro[riate action was taken from Big Brother.

This is a clear breach of regulations (as I have said previously), and I hope you can investigate this fully as otherwise voters are spending money on a competition which is unfair and heavily biased.

I hope that the matter can conclude in a way whereby the appropriate companies including Channel 4, Brighter Pictures and Endemol, are fined for their lies.

I hope to receive a reply soon,

Gavin

Your that **** that tries to wined people up on IBB aint you

[LisaHawk]

Good luck but unfortunately I can't see much coming of it. :bored:

How is it pathetic?

BB have manipulated the situation and have not represented the events of the day fairly.

Therefore, I'm entitled to complain to Ofcom.

[Saph]

why bother??? they dont care for complaints, all they say is "thankyou for your concern, please read on as we talk about some random crap.."

[Halliwell]

Who cares? They will be booted out soon and will never win the show so what difference does it make?!

[moveupandon]

why why why why why are you complaining to ofcom?

why are you making it even harder for BB or programme surivive without even tighter regualtions?

why can't you complain to channel 4 if you are that bothered... but for god sakes don't you people like you keep on keepin on complaining to bloody ofcom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Clockers]

I would not complain to ofcom, I just have some verbal on here. Much more fun.

[Gavin]

It's important that Channel 4 and Endemol get punished for their biased editing.

[spkx]

Do Ofcom even had any power in this area? I'm pretty sure BB can show/not show what they want on the highlights

[tedmaul]

Good luck to you mate!

If the program is bent then it's pointless watching(not to mention spending money to vote) and it does not deserve to survive

Because Big Brother is a television competition, and by not even showing a fundamental rule-break whcih could potentially lead on to different evictees, they have breached rules.

In doing this, viewers now have to vote for people who may not necessarily have been up if the fundamental rules were followed.

Hopefully Ofcom will take action.

[marilyn]

Good luck, I wish more people complained.

Gavin, is that your RL picture in your avatar?

[Halliwell]

lol :D

[Gavin]

lol @ Gavin and his letters to Ofcom.

Have you ever actually achieved anything with all these letters Gavin? has anything ever come out of them thats in the slightest bit positive?

Don't stop though, I actually find your posts pure comedy rather then annoying.
Yes I have achieved it on the following occasions:

- BB7 Nikki going back in
- BB8 Racism from Emily Parr
- BB9 Spitting by Dennis
- BB9 Alexandra causing aggression (a week before she was ejected)
- BB10 Loss of live feed
- BB9 Putting a blind man in

Broadcasting regulations are breached when rules are changed which affect the voting public.

This is an example of such a breach.

I think that if you are going to send the something then maybe you should do it in another way. Ask them why they didn't show it, maybe there is some strange reason. Ask them so they can't just give you a standard response.

I probably wouldn't send a letter to Ofcom at all, but I don't think it's wrong to do so. You have the right to tell them what you think. Use it if it makes you feel better.

I've complained to Channel 4, but they always have the same old generic reply:

"Thanks for your feedback. Your complaint has been logged"

It's annoying! So I complain to ofcom.

[Akerbie]

Halliwell! Where did you get that avatar?

I'm guessing that's one of the pictures that was taken with the cameras the housemates bought one week. Angel & Siavash are missing. One of them must be taking the piccie, and the other I suppose maybe answering a call of nature. Perhaps!

It's a game! If you don't like it, don't watch. No wonder BB gets duller. Each year they have new restrictions because of complaints like these. That's probably why live feed was taken off.

Yes I know it's a game.

But it's a competition which involves the public's input, so lying to the public is completely in breach of regulations.

The producers always say the highlights are fair accounts of the day's events.

But clearly it is not the case.

It actually is disgraceful. I have already complained more than a dozen times about Big Brother, especially the obvious bias shown.

[Kore]

Yeah the trio should be up for nominations like Charlie is In my opinion!!

Not really.

The producers ruin BB by cheating and lying to the viewing public and voters.

It's not people like me ruining it. We have the right to complain.

If the show is edited unfairly and is clearly biased, then the entire competition is put into disrepute.

Then why bother asking for people's opinion on your letter? Just send it!

We're giving you our response to the letter.

[MrGaryy]

What do i think, i think it;s unnecessary, stupid and dull.
Charlie was the only of the three that blatantly implied who he was nominating. Lisa was speaking generally and Karly barely said a word.

[Gavin]

Then why bother asking for people's opinion on your letter? Just send it!

I haven't said you shouldn't respond.

Continue responding please.

I just want to see if people generally agree or disagree with me.

[Benjamin]

Like McGarry said. Karly barely said a word, and Lisa wasn't bein direct about it.


But the more people complain about every little thing, the worse BB gets.

Back in BB1 - 3 there were none of these rules that they have now. That's what made it good.

There was not all these petty rules like there are now though. Honestly I think it's ridiculous the letter.

If there had been some major harm done, then fair enough, but it isn't that big a deal.

The rules are the same as BB1-BB3.

The difference is that BB doesn't take action anymore when they're broken.

The competition is a farce because BB is influencing the results so much.

Some people pay a lot of money to vote, therefore having the wrong people up due to BB's inconsistency is out of order, and a valid complaint to Ofcom.

It's not a broadcasting code violation, therefore it won't be considered (technically the race row wasn't either but if Ofcom did nothing they'd be vilified). And besides, any show that has over 2,000 hours of footage will intrinstically be edited with bias.

I'm thinking,how sad.

Im thinking the OP is just sh*t stirring and has not even complained to OFCOM but is riling FMs up.
People that contact OFCOM with this type of drivel should be fined for wasting time and money.
His so called complaint will be laughed at by OFCOM as there is no breach in regulations.
That is what OFCOM is for,not a tool to complain when hms you dont like are not nominated.

If the poster did actually complain then he is abusing the system and its because of people like this that they need to start punishing seriel complainers by billing them for waste of time complaints.
I say to the poster learn what OFCOM is for and dont think long paragraphs make your complaint any more legitimate a complaint than me complaining that sophie is up because she farted when BB told her not to make a sound.

Actually, it is a violation.

I complained to Ofcom 7 times during BB9 and was told some of my complaints of a similar nature were indeed relevant and could be considered as breaches.

I completelu understand that editing has to happen to cut down from 24 hours of footage to 45 minutes. However, completely editing out a significant event which affects the nominations and evictions result is unacceptable.

Stop friggin complaining to Ofcom about stupid things like that!!!

It's not a broadcasting code violation, therefore it won't be considered (technically the race row wasn't either but if Ofcom did nothing they'd be vilified). And besides, any show that has over 2,000 hours of footage will intrinstically be edited with bias.
Actually, it is a violation.

I complained to Ofcom 7 times during BB9 and was told some of my complaints of a similar nature were indeed relevant and could be considered as breaches.

I completelu understand that editing has to happen to cut down from 24 hours of footage to 45 minutes. However, completely editing out a significant event which affects the nominations and evictions result is unacceptable.

Hahahaha Priceless :joker:

So now you phoned OFCOM and they actually told you that your complaints were relevent and were a breach even though they cannot actually do this till its investigated,excuse me while i change my undies,its not nice of you to make me PMSL.

I think we all smell BS here,never mind you may want to try some research before you try winding other FMs up :pat:

This is my complaint to Ofcom regarding Big Brother's biased editing and their exclusion of Lisa's nominations conversation:

To Ofcom,

I am sending you another complaint regarding Channel 4’s Big Brother.

I feel that the editing of the show has been completely manipulated in such a huge manner, that the viewing public and voters are being lied to, suggesting a breach of broadcasting regulations.

On the Big Brother live feed on Sunday 5th July at 00:41am, there was a conversation between the housemates Lisa, Karly and Dogface about nominations. The trio were clearly talking about nominations in code (including the covering of her face from Lisa), which is in breach of the fundamental Big Brother rule stating: “It is not permitted to discuss nominations, or try to influence anyone else’s nominations.”

If Big Brother had acted accordingly to the rules, the trio would have been punished. This punishment has altered in the past, but has frequently been the exclusion of nominations from housemates involved with such a breach.

However, in the transmission of the episode on Sunday evening, the conversation was completely missed out by the editors. This is a serious violation of the rules regarding “fair editing” of the show.

As a result of not showing this conversation, the housemates were not shown breaking the rules and Big Brother took no action. This is a blatant cover up to the public and the voters.

Therefore, the competition rules have been infringed by the editors as viewers are told to vote to evict people who perhaps should not be up for the vote if the appro[riate action was taken from Big Brother.

This is a clear breach of regulations (as I have said previously), and I hope you can investigate this fully as otherwise voters are spending money on a competition which is unfair and heavily biased.

I hope that the matter can conclude in a way whereby the appropriate companies including Channel 4, Brighter Pictures and Endemol, are fined for their lies.

I hope to receive a reply soon,

Gavin


Are you for real or do you just have no life at all?

One of the saddest things I have ever read, grow up.

[Gavin]

This is absolutely disgraceful.

Many people want to evict Kris, but they put the wrong phone number for him on the website. Instead they put on Marcus' number for him.

I don't like Marcus, but this is a scam from Channel 4 and a fix which is breaching broadcasting regulations.

I have complained to Ofcom about this because the voting % will now be slightly biased in Kris' favour.

I hope Channel 4 reset the number and give a full refund to everyone who has voted, otherwise I will make another complaint to Ofcom regarding Channel 4's lack of action.

Because Big Brother is a television competition, and by not even showing a fundamental rule-break whcih could potentially lead on to different evictees, they have breached rules.

In doing this, viewers now have to vote for people who may not necessarily have been up if the fundamental rules were followed.

Hopefully Ofcom will take action.

Here's that broadcasting code for you:

7.3 Where a person is invited to make a contribution to a programme (except when the subject matter is trivial or their participation minor) they should normally, at an appropriate stage:

be told the nature and purpose of the programme, what the programme is about and be given a clear explanation of why they were asked to contribute and when (if known) and where it is likely to be first broadcast;

be told what kind of contribution they are expected to make, for example live, pre-recorded, interview, discussion, edited, unedited, etc.;

be informed about the areas of questioning and, wherever possible, the nature of other likely contributions;

be made aware of any significant changes to the programme as it develops which might reasonably affect their original consent to participate, and which might cause material unfairness;

be told the nature of their contractual rights and obligations and those of the programme maker and broadcaster in relation to their contribution; and
be given clear information, if offered an opportunity to preview the programme, about whether they will be able to effect any changes to it.

Taking these measures is likely to result in the consent that is given being ‘informed consent’ (referred to in this section and the rest of the Code as “consent”).

It may be fair to withhold all or some of this information where it is justified in the public interest or under other provisions of this section of the Code.


Gavin, because the housemates have signed contracts prior to appearing on the programme, they have effectively waived their rights and are subjected to the viewpoints of Endemol and Brighter Pictures (who produce the show) and Channel 4 (who broadcast it and who are liable to Ofcom). As signing the contract is considered prior knowledge, Ofcom cannot protect them.

Like McGarry said. Karly barely said a word, and Lisa wasn't bein direct about it.


But the more people complain about every little thing, the worse BB gets.

Back in BB1 - 3 there were none of these rules that they have now. That's what made it good.
Actually, in BB1-BB3 they were stricter with the rules and very consistent.


There was not all these petty rules like there are now though. Honestly I think it's ridiculous the letter.

If there had been some major harm done, then fair enough, but it isn't that big a deal.


But if you want to send it, then send it.
The rules are the same as BB1-BB3.

The difference is that BB doesn't take action anymore when they're broken.

The competition is a farce because BB is influencing the results so much.

Some people pay a lot of money to vote, therefore having the wrong people up due to BB's inconsistency is out of order, and a valid complaint to Ofcom.

i think you should stop watching the show. you obviously don't watch it to enjoy it, just to pick it apart

[charliecharles]

Good idea to complain, even though it is a show for morons and watched by morons it needs to be honest and fair to everyone.
