I complained to Channel 4 about the \'Couples Task\'
 

I complained to Channel 4 over how they helped the housemates guess Mario and Lisa were the Secret Couple here is my reply:

Dear Mr Dines,
Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding BIG BROTHER. We are sorry to hear that you feel BIG BROTHER gave the task away; the Housemates discovered that Lisa and Mario were the real couple, therefore Lisa, Mario, Luke and Stephanie are up for eviction this week, it was clearly stated by BIG BROTHER that they had to fool everyone in the house into thinking Stephanie and Mario were the couple in order to pass the mission and be exempt from eviction. Nevertheless, please be assured your complaint has been noted and logged.The log is distributed throughout Channel 4 and seen by the programmemakers. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise.
Regards,
Sally Smith

Its completely unfair that the foursome have been put up foreviction! BB helped the housemates guess correctly that there was a secret couple in the house! BB should never have told the housemates there was a 'Secret Couple'. Its completley ridiculous!

fair enough (:

I totally agree with their reply.

There is nothing to complain about.

The task the was to hide out Mario and Lisa wasn't a secret couple
Big Brother was always going to task the housemates to guess the couple, it was never going to be that easy
As a cover story Steph and Mario were together
If the cover story was acted better then nobody would suspect Mario therefore they would have passed their task.

why are you complaining? who cares its a game. dont take it so seriously.

I totally agree. It wouldn't have been fair on the other housemates if they weren't given the opportunity to officially declare who the real couple is.

your an idiot for complaining over nothing,silly sausage,probably just because one of your favs will be going this week.

channel 4 have no control over the content of the show. if you are going to complain to anyone it has to be endemol.

Dont call him an idiot please.

LOL. As if Channel 4 care what the viewers think is fair.

I just think it could of been played differently thats all. Telling the housemates there was a secret couple in the house was pointless. They would have clicked even if Steph and Mario were convinced them.

Well they wouldn't of known if they were convinced about Steph and Mario
It was only fair they told the other housemates to guess otherwise it would be too easy on the 4 doing the task.

I agree with you. Big Brother didn't even clarify the rules of the task properly, they changed halfway through as always. They always do that to get the results they want, it's annoying.

If they didn't clarify the rules, how do you know they changed them?

But if BB hadnt sprung a spanner in the works i.e Revealing there was a secret couple in the house, they would of passed. I think there was no need to let the housemates decide They were convinced Steph and Mario were a couple, they only doubted the wedding, to me, they passed the mission. The foursome should have been called to the Diary Room and everything should of been revealed via the TV screen in the Living Room.

Its completely unfair that the foursome have been put up foreviction! BB helped the housemates guess correctly that there was a secret couple in the house! BB should never have told the housemates there was a 'Secret Couple'. Its completley ridiculous!



I think Big Brother did not help them
if it was not for Alex and her mouth
the outcome could have changed.

Why is it only me that can see this?
BB should have called the foursome to the DR not announce to the entire house that a secret couple was amongst them. The secret mission was to keep it quiet that Lisa and Mario was a couple. KNOWONE suspected Lisa and Mario. So to me they passed there secret mission.

Alex guessed it
and made the blind bloke say it
FACT.

But believing that they were a couple wasn't the task, it was to prevent other housemates finding out Mario and Lisa were a couple. The cover story wasn't acted out well enough thanks to Steph (that why I want her out on Friday) if it was done well enough then housemates would never have guessed. If BB didn't tell housemates to guess a secret couple that would be really unfair and a fix really. So I don't see any reason to complain about it.

Thats fair enough. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. My opinion is that is was a set up

Because I saw what happened in the end. LOL

It's only a game though

the blind man has a name its mickey, i think they was set up if bb never asked who the couple was they would not have guessed it

Complaining is a big waste of time.

Also, it was probably a scam to keep Alex in for longer.

That letter they send was the same they send all the others word for word.

apart from your name of course :tongue:

Glenn. Good on you for complaining. The task was good but the ending ill thought through by BB as per usual.....They need to know the public are not pleased with sloppy and unfair control over tasks. Once again good on you for complaing......Shame on those that call you names for doing so......Then some are not bright enoug to see what you saw....Not your problem mate it's theirs......

So true. There's nothing to be proud about just sitting back and taking whatever crap you're fed.

I agree, they should've passed. BB telling the housemates that there was a secret couple in the house was unfair.

If this continues you will be issued with a warning and temporary ban!

Red.

I think it's a bit unfair to hold someone's join date against them - they're perfectly entitled to opinions and shouldn't feel inferior simply because they joined later. It's not very welcoming. I think their post could have been phrased better though!

I do agree with you - mentioning that there was a 'secret couple' immediately gave away everything, and just put the foursome's hard work to waste. But there needed to be a balance... the other housemates also needed an equal and fair opportunity to do their bit, and unfortunately they were logical and guessed correctly.

To be honest the whole thing seems fake. It doesn't sound professional enough I think you made the whole thing up.

I complained to tibb about the unnecessarity of this post. Look!

Dear Mr Nikkos,
Thank you for contacting us about your complaint of the 'Mr Dines' in question. We agree that his attempt to make other forum members believe he recieved a reply from Channel 4 staff who have nothing better to do than read petty complaints was unnecessary and a little strange; kind of like that old woman who attacked a man who played a murderer in a soap opera with a bag of carrots.tibb takes such issues very seriously and we will take this matter with a serious nature. Thank you for your patronage and we will contact you immediately with the action take against Mr Dines.

Lots of love, tibb administration dudes xxxxx


hehe that was fun :P

why it only a gameshow

The more people complain the higher the chance the show will be axed so what is the point? You never actually get a good reply of them anyway

I think if the 'complaint' had been worded better, the reply would've been of been more dignified.

i can assure you that the email is indeed real. Ive got better things to do than make up an email thank you very much:rolleyes:

by complaining you wasted your tinme
