Show won’t allow booing, society has evolved says new host
 

Will protect housemates from having their feelings hurt. This is going to be a PC mess.

he told us: "I don't think anybody will be stopping people from doing anything but are people going to want to? It does feel as though the world has changed a little bit."

So no, they're not.

Not that I'd care. Boo's lost all meaning when the C5 rent a mob booed anyone and anything.

I like that idea …

I'm sure they will be fully briefed on everything (maybe not the DR chair) by the time launch night comes along. They will need a script to do the house tour and introduce the Housemates.

So some of the HAVE been on TV before. Recycled reality TV contestants?

of course you can have been on TV before

and still be qualified enough for a civilian BB



i mean someone who's been seen on a show like Antigues Roadshow, Escape to the Country, some other unscripted show etc

I've been on a gameshow, so would you rule me out?

I don't care either way about the booing tbh. I preferred it when Davina was in the studio and the HMs couldn't hear any response to their name.

Thought it is funny when HMs egos get pricked, i.e. Wolfie, Jack...

Depends on the gameshow.

After all, Big Brother is "only a gameshow".

The booing used to ruin the live shows for me. If they were genuine boos then fair enough but these were just chavs booing and chanting “who are ya” at housemates for no reason and I used to think to myself “why TF are you people even there?”.

The crowd made the interviews unwatchable because we couldn’t actually hear what was being said.

I welcome this.

Yeah in the later C5 days the booing was really annoying and it was sometimes hard to hear the interviews, but times like "Get Grace Out" were iconic!

That's true enough. Back in the early days of BB, you'd have had to be a really really bad person to get boo'd

Fair!

It was Question Jury, which admittedly does have more "reality elements" than most quiz shows.

But no-one even remembers that show and it's not even on All4 anymore, so I probably would be okay :joker:

By the end everyone was getting boo'd. Winners got boo's :joker:.

Show won’t allow booing, society has evolved says new host

Ibrox did not get the memo on Saturday

Society has evolved backwards.

The Mirror seem to have removed that article.

Certain areas of society have evolved. The other half not so much.

RIP to the article.

Discouraging booing though, I'd be fine with that. HMs should only get boos if they do something so bad as to deserve them. Rentamob in recent years just booed everyone.

And who gets to decide that? Give me a break.

Yurp.

The rent-a-mob who developed self awareness of themselves being stars of the show post-Grace is one of the thing I hold synonymous with the slow decline of Big Brother. They're free to boo who they want but it still sucked and started to come from a really catty, hyper judgemental place.

Rachel winning 2009 was way better moment than it felt at the time, in hindsight, given how against the grain she felt in terms of that kind of television and where it was going. I remember overzealously thinking "The person that causes the most drama should win it, always, as they gave the most entertainment value" but someone winning just for being a decent person showed that there was a heart to all of this as well.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Nice to see you back Stu, fingers crossed ITV will.do it justice

Not in favour of booing for boos sake like we had in the channel 5 years. Lost all its sting when they started doing it to everyone. But telling the audience how they can and can't react is stupid. May as well not have one.

in my nation this year, there only was a live audience for the public, in the final

not much booing here, apart from a tiny bit for who was first a heavy fan favourite but towards the final started acting a bit too smug due to knowing how popular he was, his fans had a plane flying over the house with a sign ''TeamJason''

so that is more why he didn't win, because he started to behave no longer like his normal self, but too overconfident, and quite some dutch people want to give a flemish person the win, to try and give interest for them a boost as well as Bart basically stayed the same all those weeks, being a father figure to the group, and also not coming across as too strict despite being a paracommando


in other liveshows here we just have family and friends being the ''audience'' in the studio, with nominated hm's their families being interviewed by the hosts


----
although booing ain't the worst thing for the hm's

social media can be quite vile too

:wavey:

I'm not hopeful really but happy to be proven wrong. As long as there's a decent spread of housemates and it goes back to the more minimalist Channel 4 editing style I can forgive if the actual entertainment value of it lags behind. Which is obviously totally contrary to how TV works which is why I'm not a commissioning editor.

I'd take these lads over any Channel 5 era series is what I'm trying to say:

Well yeah but it is how a TV show that's supposed to be a social experiment should work imo, there's plenty of shows like Love Island for the constant Drama.

At one stage the booing did influence the house mates, it was an indication from the outside who was liked who was not.
And as the series went on the producers let more people from the outside enter the house destroying the whole concept of no outside contact.

The crowd. Except rent-a-mob in recent years just booed everyone for nothing. So stupid and ruined the atmosphere of various shows.

Give me a break indeed.

LOL...

Booing at housemates is a Human Right, surely...?

The boos on launch night became predictable. You could guess from the VT how they would go. Particularly obvious for the females: overweight or over 40 - cheers; anyone remotely "hot" - boos.

There's no getting around the world being a different place though - if someone was coming across particularly badly and the production team gave no indication of it at all and stuck properly with the "no outside info" concept these days... they'd end up being sued as soon as someone properly destroys their life. It's quite blatant these days on love island when someone has been taken aside "for a word" to repair their image a bit. But it's pretty much necessary.

They got away with all sorts back in the early years ... people came out of it properly traumatised. Good times :flutter:.

(I genuinely mean that by the way - so long as the vetting for pre-existing mental health issues is solid and the potential effects on people's lives are properly explained ... it should be a decision people can make for themselves so long as they know what they're getting into)

That said, some of the best of BB was because their mental health screening was ****ing awful and they kept putting in people with EUPD. :shrug:

Fully agree. I really wouldn't mind a booing ban, beats 98% getting it for no reason and chanting throughout the eviction interviews.

If people aint booing, people aint caring.

I personally don't object to booing, not allowing that is the Show being overly sensitive imo.

However I would support the Show not allowing the treatment that the public gave Housemates like Grace, Makosi, Vanessa BB6, or Charley Uchea as the crowd were starting to hurl abuse at those Housemates.

But normal levels of booing is what people should be prepared for when signing up for the Show, the crowd either cheering to encourage "false positivity" or being silent when a particular Housemate is mentioned will be far worse than booing imo.

i'm not really sure how they implement a booing ban, kick the booers out? There could be no-one left in the crowd :laugh:

It could lead to fights and all sorts. Times may have changed, but peoples human behaviour has not

booo....................hiss....who are ya! let the people decide.....................

Launch night the audience should cheer or boo how much they want.

But when evictions take place housemates shouldn't know if others are being booed and cheered.

We know how fickle we all are. You can still win the show if you get booed on launch night.

Hopefully everything in the house is sound proof so for example when the 2nd housemate goes in.. The first housemate shouldnt be able to hear if they have been booed or cheered.

Surely the contract would contain something like "if you come off like a twat, that's on you, bucko! Watch your own behaviour, dawg" to negate any lawsuits?

Charley Uceah wouldn't have been half as entertaining if she'd been "had a word with"; that said, how many times did Helen Wood get warned in the DR? And she didn't change at all :laugh:

I've never seen Love Island, does it have a similar emphasis on "no contract with the outside world" ?

Lostie :love: Good to see you back

Kinda going from one extreme (everyone just booing everyone during the C5 years) to not being allowed to boo at all? :shrug:
