Perez was provided news and info from the outside world while in the house - Article
 

What a total cock up this show has become.

I knew it... he knew the whole time what kind of impact he was having in media and just kept on hamming it up for the cameras. And I have no doubts the producers told him the show had high ratings to get him to stay... although I don't think that is the same as making him stay.
I think the show should pay for his counseling... and that he should pay for counseling for all the house mates he put through hell while he was in there. That seems fair to me.

Katie Hopkins should pay for Alicia & Keiths counselling, and if she was allowed contact with the outside world its only right that other housemates should be given the same treatment

He was given celebrity gossip news for his radio show (which he recorded while in the house), not CBB news.

I don't see how this is worse than Katie Hopkins being able to write for The Sun from the house.

Neither do I :laugh:

Ugh what happened to 'no contact with the outside world' :(

Well one had outside world contact and one didn't?!?

I know it ruins it when you hear this stuff.Like Rylan the other year.It should be zero contact.Kind of defeats the whole object of the show.

The fact he was given news full stop is a disgrace. Katie wasn't given news, just writing a column from inside the house about her thoughts on housemates and fat people or something. This has really put me off watching bb, i find it a bit pointless these days. I think this might of made it the last series I ever watch.

BB
 

BB was pathetic dealing with pez............where was the authoritative figure

putting him in his place

pez should have been ignored / told if he was not respectful he would be

evicted / no longer able to visit the DR

To be honest I couldn't care less, the 'no outside contact' rule hasn't been in place since BB10. I just find it a bit suspicious that every series they actively hide this stuff from us, it's like they know it's wrong. :laugh:

It isn't, I guess this goes on as a sort of norm now as to BB.

Getting info from outside to me is wrong, then again they put in Katie Price who was going on about what she had been watching as to them.


You make a very valid point however, for anyone to be a housemate,one of the conditions should be that they make no direct contact with the outside world and certainly not be able to do their usual work either.

He didn't win though, so in the context of the show, it didn't matter :shrug:

I'm one who likes the original BB concept, and the only thing that is the same these days is the name and the theme tune. My view is that I will watch it until I no longer get enjoyment from it. Its been close a few times in recent shows, but not quite enough for me to switch off ... yet

This thread: a lot of complaining about nothing.

FFS ITS COMPLETELY DIFFRENT!!! Katie wasnt getting contact from the outside world & perez was thats why were so ****ing annoyed!!! Stop saying it's no different to Katie's case because it arguably is.

The thing which mystifies me is why was Keith paid less than the others. Why werent we shown more of the others antics. Best bits show that they were humourous and entertaining, especially Keith and Kav. They both came over as miserable so and sos and yet looking at the best bits Keith had as much to say as some, he was just as argumentive and as he said, he loved it. He seemed to have humour with his jokes although I thought the one about "how do we reduce KHs nose to 12 inches, double it" was rather cruel and yet he talked about her jibes. He was worth more than his fee. I didnt want him to win, as you all may remember I wanted KH, Michelle or Calum to come out top. Why didnt those who were against KH make sure that Keith got to the top. Katie P. didnt deserve the win imo. She was ill and certainly didnt deserve her money but having said that good luck to her she won.

Why was Perez allowed information for his radio show, he also had the means to make things bad for the rest of the HMs still in "jail". I have read KHs column, does it only come out once a week? The one I saw was not downing anyone and it was well put moreorless taking the mickey out of herself. I liked the idea of that coming from inside the house just as long as it wasnt used for the benefit of bitching.

So we have a thread of complaining but if we are to continue watching what used to be a good show we need to get some new rules and for the producers to stick by them. The ratings they had were for negative things and not for the fun factor which we wanted from our own and the cultural factor which we could have gained from the Americans.

At the end of it Katie P, whilst I do not wish her ill, got the sympathy vote at the last minute or the vote to halt KH or Calum winning as it was between those two at one point. I was surprised when Calum went when he did. Still there we are how much longer do we go on viewing, that is the question.

KP knew exactly what was going on in that house before she went in, she made a bee line for Perez, if the producers were on his side for ratings then we possibly have the answer there. Just thoughts but valid ones with all that is coming to light now.

For heavens sake they are adults and they gave as good as they got. They are not just snivelling little wannabees they have minds of their own and are very opinionated people. Keith tried the nice approach but I would hate to really upset him, he has obviously had his own issues in his day and he made Kav look like a drink bully. I dont really like him tbh.

Alicia well the lass is so concerned about her own looks that she is missing that which is inside. She must have been quite beautiful before she began the falseness and the paranoia which is her. She does need counselling really because of her own hangups. To have an opinion is not bullying. Should everyone stay stum and agree with what she is doing, that doesnt help her. A good friend says "I love you but.....".

1. I backed Katie P instead of Keith for a couple of reasons. I did not like the way Keith cheered with KH + crew when Perez left. Seemed two-faced. Plus, Katie Price had a MUCH bigger chance of beating Hopkins - bigger fan base, 2 million+ followers on FB and instagram. I also didn't like the way the housemates, particularly Michelle and KH, were giving KP **** for coming in 10 days later. It angered me and made me want to support KP even more. She was the underdog *of the five left.*

2. Perez was provided CELEBRITY GOSSIP for his radio show (pretty much a podcast by himself) which never mentions the CBB house. Katie Hopkins was able to write to the public ABOUT the house where she criticized housemates like KP. But of course, that doesn't matter cause you never liked Katie P.

3. No, it was never between Katie Hopkins and Callum. Just because the betting odds or online polls back these two doesn't mean the whole country does. People weren't fooled by Katie Hopkin's act and didn't want another Helen.

Oh dear

What a shocker, right? Some of us actually didn't mind Perez!

Besides, Keith winning wouldn't piss off KH and sheep as much as Price winning.

They literally handed her the win because of it. :joker:

I'm not surprised at either this or Katie writing her column - it was clear they were going to pull any trick in the book to try and get the two of them to stay as long as possible.

that is just stupid

Why am I not surprised

I agree!

I guess in order to sign these two as HM's they had to allow them to continue working. Sign of the times!

I wonder what else went on that we have no isea about.

I'm not shocked but disappointed tbh, I understand they have to retain a job and all that but Perez was given actual info that could influence him in there.

Katie's column is totally different, imo all she did was state her views, she got no info.

How do we know KH or any of the other HM's weren't also given info and told to keep quiet about it? Just because Parez has spoken out, doesn't mean the rest of them got nothing.

Why did you emphasise on KH?

If Patsy spoke out about the spray tans, Pricey about the hair, Hopkins about the column, wouldn't they have said something about receiving outside info? I don't know about the others but I doubt those three had outside info

Because I can ;)

Parez has been a snitch, the others haven't. Celebrities on reality tv know its unethical to talk about what went on behind closed doors.

methinks you didnt understand the tellymix article

read it again slowly

KH was writing her column for the SUN whilst in the house, she was not given ANY information regarding events outside, hence the reason her entire column, during the time in there, has been about events INSIDE the house

The only one given information from OUTSIDE the house, was the perverted toad Hilton

In future try to read slower and the information will go in quicker, ok

I take it you know this? are you one of the producers?!?! Don't answer that, I was being sarcastic.

^This

Perez needs counselling? Well Yes hes right, but he managed to get into CBB without it. Truth is that everyone else who was in there needs counselling after spending time with such an unstable, unpredictable 'person'.

Yes, for his radio show.

'No outside contact' might have gone out the window a long time ago but this is still a lot worse than anything that's gone before. Letting housemates know news from the outside world defeats the whole point of the BB experience, it keeps you in touch with current affairs, you're no longer isolated from what's going on in the real world. Might as well have BBC News 24 rolling all day and night in the house. I didn't like Hopkins having a column either, but her sending out information to the outside world from the house is different to receiving information from the outside world to the house.

I agree, but since BB went to channel 5 they changed all the rules. There are way too many twists and allowances made for the celebs.

He was only allowed to do it for three days:

But yeah, it's still pretty bad that they let him do it in the first place, but Hopkins being able to write her column is much worse imo.

They all had their perks, i think. Otherwise BB would never be able to get any celeb to appear.
