Actually, in BB1-BB3 they were stricter with the rules and very consistent.

There was not all these petty rules like there are now though. Honestly I think it's ridiculous the letter.

If there had been some major harm done, then fair enough, but it isn't that big a deal.


But if you want to send it, then send it.

The competition is a farce because BB is influencing the results so much.

Some people pay a lot of money to vote, therefore having the wrong people up due to BB's inconsistency is out of order, and a valid complaint to Ofcom.

No.

I was a big fan of Marcus for the first few weeks, but I hate him now because of his racial slurs and aggressive tone.

Hate his qualities, not him as a person.

We must forgive, but firstly he should face the consequences of his actions.

[bovvered?]

Gavin I have come to the conclusion that you are as much a Christian as I am the Virgin Mary....

Gavin, you are ridiculous! That is all!

This is my complaint to Ofcom regarding Big Brother's biased editing and their exclusion of Lisa's nominations conversation:

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

I think you need to get out more mate oh dear!

Yes they do have power in this area.

Because Big Brother is a television competition, and by not even showing a fundamental rule-break whcih could potentially lead on to different evictees, they have breached rules.

In doing this, viewers now have to vote for people who may not necessarily have been up if the fundamental rules were followed.

Hopefully Ofcom will take action.

It's not a broadcasting code violation, therefore it won't be considered (technically the race row wasn't either but if Ofcom did nothing they'd be vilified). And besides, any show that has over 2,000 hours of footage will intrinstically be edited with bias.

I'm thinking,how sad.

Im thinking the OP is just sh*t stirring and has not even complained to OFCOM but is riling FMs up.
People that contact OFCOM with this type of drivel should be fined for wasting time and money.
His so called complaint will be laughed at by OFCOM as there is no breach in regulations.
That is what OFCOM is for,not a tool to complain when hms you dont like are not nominated.

If the poster did actually complain then he is abusing the system and its because of people like this that they need to start punishing seriel complainers by billing them for waste of time complaints.
I say to the poster learn what OFCOM is for and dont think long paragraphs make your complaint any more legitimate a complaint than me complaining that sophie is up because she farted when BB told her not to make a sound.

Actually, it is a violation.

I complained to Ofcom 7 times during BB9 and was told some of my complaints of a similar nature were indeed relevant and could be considered as breaches.

I completelu understand that editing has to happen to cut down from 24 hours of footage to 45 minutes. However, completely editing out a significant event which affects the nominations and evictions result is unacceptable.

Stop friggin complaining to Ofcom about stupid things like that!!!

Hahahaha Priceless

So now you phoned OFCOM and they actually told you that your complaints were relevent and were a breach even though they cannot actually do this till its investigated,excuse me while i change my undies,its not nice of you to make me PMSL.

I think we all smell BS here,never mind you may want to try some research before you try winding other FMs up

Are you for real or do you just have no life at all?

One of the saddest things I have ever read, grow up.

[Gavin]

This is absolutely disgraceful.

Many people want to evict Kris, but they put the wrong phone number for him on the website. Instead they put on Marcus' number for him.

I don't like Marcus, but this is a scam from Channel 4 and a fix which is breaching broadcasting regulations.

I have complained to Ofcom about this because the voting % will now be slightly biased in Kris' favour.

I hope Channel 4 reset the number and give a full refund to everyone who has voted, otherwise I will make another complaint to Ofcom regarding Channel 4's lack of action.

Here's that broadcasting code for you:

7.3 Where a person is invited to make a contribution to a programme (except when the subject matter is trivial or their participation minor) they should normally, at an appropriate stage:

• be told the nature and purpose of the programme, what the programme is about and be given a clear explanation of why they were asked to contribute and when (if known) and where it is likely to be first broadcast;
  
  be told what kind of contribution they are expected to make, for example live, pre-recorded, interview, discussion, edited, unedited, etc.;
  
  be informed about the areas of questioning and, wherever possible, the nature of other likely contributions;
  
  be made aware of any significant changes to the programme as it develops which might reasonably affect their original consent to participate, and which might cause material unfairness;
  
  be told the nature of their contractual rights and obligations and those of the programme maker and broadcaster in relation to their contribution; and
  be given clear information, if offered an opportunity to preview the programme, about whether they will be able to effect any changes to it.
  
  Taking these measures is likely to result in the consent that is given being ‘informed consent’ (referred to in this section and the rest of the Code as “consent”).
  
  It may be fair to withhold all or some of this information where it is justified in the public interest or under other provisions of this section of the Code.

Gavin, because the housemates have signed contracts prior to appearing on the programme, they have effectively waived their rights and are subjected to the viewpoints of Endemol and Brighter Pictures (who produce the show) and Channel 4 (who broadcast it and who are liable to Ofcom). As signing the contract is considered prior knowledge, Ofcom cannot protect them.

i think you should stop watching the show. you obviously don't watch it to enjoy it, just to pick it apart

[charliecharles]

Good idea to complain, even though it is a show for morons and watched by morons it needs to be honest and fair to everyone.
