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.

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

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

AJ added: "What's hilarious is that Big Brother has already started, Big Brother sees it all and me and Will are the mere mortal presenters of the show. We're not Big Brother. We've not seen anything. Not seen the house, not seen the diary room chair, not seen the housemates, not seen anything, so we're going to be learning and going with the audience on that launch night and that, we cannot wait for."

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.

AJ says that she feels as though it's her duty as a presenter to look after the contestants as some of them "have never been on TV before."

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

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

Depends on the gameshow.

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

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

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...

[daniel-lewis-1985]

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.

[Strictly Jake]

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!

[user104658]

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

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

Ibrox did not get the memo on Saturday

LOL...

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

[Beso]

Society has evolved backwards.

[BBDodge]

The Mirror seem to have removed that article.

[Glenn.]

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

[ComingToGetYou]

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.

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.

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.
