looks like Łndemol

have been assessing the HM's moods in the private DR sessions

and already have a pretty good idea who is going to be up next week

Risible and Insulting

People have managed it before. 'Ordinary' people too, rather than trained actors. It's been done umpteen times during wartime, by police forces to infiltrate gangs, etc. Okay, she's not likely to have had anything like the intensity of preparation that they had. But she has her acting experience, an automatic get-out clause for certain things by simply saying that she's not allowed to discuss whatever it may be, and she can always be called to the diary room as a last resort. She could also say that her parents are British and that they emigrated when she was younger, which would cover her if her accent happened to slip. Even if she was recognised and placed by one of the hm's, it still doesn't automatically follow that her cover is blown. When Becki entered the house during BB5, Dan recognised her from his audition/s. Yet when she walked in and launched into her spiel about being Italian, he was drawn in straight away, just like the rest of the hm's.

This whole 'Łndemol' thing is really tiresome. They're a production company, not a television network. They can suggest whatever they want, but Channel 4 decide what makes the final cut, regardless of what Endemol may want.

Since when have the diary room sessions been anything other than private? (Except during certain tasks/punishments, of course).

I don't see how that automatically suggests anything? The most obvious thing would be so that they can tailor aspects of the (fake) eviction process to fit the most likely candidate, which would only make the whole thing even better.

That's generally how I interpret any posts that suggest I/we need a guide to steer us through the experience, to tell us who we can or can't like or want to keep or evict, etc. And it's also how I interpret posts that are all doom and gloom and imply that I/we are somehow being manipulated and deceived, yet haven't got the basic intelligence to realise. After all, it begs the question why bother to watch something you clearly view with extreme scepticism (to say the least) so avidly? Why bother to air your grievances in the very place where you stand the least chance of anyone taking what you say on board? And ultimately, why not just turn off?
