BB have cameras recording all over the house and garden, they selectively take input from all of these sources to make a so-called "Live Feed" (as everyone knows this is not live rather a delayed feed to allow them to censor, or simply NOT SHOW what they don't want the public to see) why then did they deliberately show Sam apparently negative discussions about him made by Dexter and Sophie. Did they plan to have a ratings hit when they loosed Sam on these two? All of the others were probably weeping into their cocoa as they discussed his apparent eviction. Gina , in particular, followed him about jumping and yelping like a puppy that has been reunited with her master, this to Sam's great discomfiture as he attempted to corner Dexter. The rest of the brood were no less yelping with joy at this prodigal's return while all he had on his mind was to restore his "TV Image" which he accused Sophie of sabotaging (this part , of coursed, was omitted from the HL show).

All in all this smacks of BBs interference in the worst possible way just to claim more viewers watched.

The Nemesis task was engineered to exacerbate the Dexter/Calllum conflict to ensure Hazel wasn't evicted.
The Magic Task was engineered to turn Sam against Dexter to ensure Hazel isn't evicted this week.
The Letter Task was engineered to get Hazel sympathy and try to save her from eviction this week.

Does it take two and a half hours to think up a rebuttal?

BB allowed Sam to work himself into a towering rage (well what passes for a towering rage in one devoid of charisma, his usual scowl plus a more pronounced pout) before unleashing him on Dexter and Sophie however as stated above, Gina almost ruined the effect by her incessant yelping as she followed him around until he silenced even her with his scowl so that he could complete his task.

Dexter really put up a piss poor defence, but Sophie ripped into him until he retracted his accusation of her dissing him "on TV"

of course they do, they want maximum viewing figures.

True. I hate the bias so much.

Yep they have been maximising the tension in there, I remember when Emma did the walk around she said there were subtle things to cause discord in the house too....
The round dining area and kitchen with the uncomfortable chairs, and the uncomfortable metal garden furniture too.

Your post would have more weight if it wasn't for that picture of Ann Bonny

I want to ask bb why dexter got no treat for his task yet fat porker twins get cakes and gina gets takeout wanky bastards are trying to stir it up for dexter, if they want real fireworks then show the house the Callum and Sam marathon bitching sessions about dexter! Jack can suck a dick too saying he hates that boy about dexter to Sam before the treehouse talk! Go eat a pie ya pissing hippo and take floppy haired Harry styles wannabe Sam with you.

This whole show is manufactured lol

Its not a coincidence that their was conveniently a wrestling task, and Dexter was put against Callum, Sam against Sophie, Hazel against Gina, etc..

Their are numerous examples throughout this series (and past ones), where the execs concoct situations & tasks to play up specific story lines that they think are interesting. TBH they've probably come up with a bunch of them ahead of time and are fairly certain even before the show starts how the general dynamics will play out. Housemates like Dexter, Hazel, Gina, and Sallie aren't just 'regular' people who showed up and auditioned to be on BB, they were cast. They're in there to fill a specific roll. You can be certain the producers were looking for people with specific characteristics who fit into the predetermined dynamic they were looking to achieve. Long story short, this entire show is predetermined and engineered, and it's quite frankly sad tbh. I'm certain it wasn't this manufactured even just a few years back....

The obsession with "Big Characters" has led to this sorry state of affairs where backstories are manufactured and fabricated months before anyone goes into the house and where the producers continue to promote the lies that are supposed to be the backgrounds of their main players or "characters" long after they have been exposed on Fan Forums (but not in the public's eyes) . Sad really. Just effing sad!

This series seems to take it to the next level, the absolute lack of 'reality' in it, and the beyond obvious casting is worse then anything Channel 4 did imo. At least half the housemates this year have been cast no doubt. I'd loe BB to get back to their roots, Channel 5 is really loosing the plot.

[fingers]

Dan had and has an Agent, also Jemima, and the old Travers woman and Hazel plus Dexter and Gina to mention only 6 that were probably just Cast for the producers to work their "REALITY" magic.
