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
