No, it's a fair point and one I don't disagree with. The problem is with their inconsistency. Do I like it when they rig and manipulate the show to protect the entertaining housemates because the public can't be trusted? Yes, of course. Do I like it when they try and cover things up like people leaving the house for photoshoots, rehearsals, task teams going in and directing the housemates? No.

And I certainly don't like things like ****inafreezer gate being covered up either, and not really because I think it protects Jay, moreso because dare I say it would've been ****ing hilarious television?

The way I see it is this. If all we have to go off is their edit, then fine, that's what people should be judging off and if they decide to manipulate things along the way, then so long as it's for the benefit of the series I don't mind. But I would most definitely prefer to have live feed at our disposal given the choice because it makes the show more honest, more interesting and more reactive. BBUK at the minute is almost akin to your run-of-the-mill trashy MTV reality show. I enjoy it for what it is - a bog standard show which runs 48 minutes a night, but not nearly as much as far superior versions of the show like in Canada where they understand what Big Brother actually is and care about its fans. That I can get far more invested in.
