Personally I fail to see how you gain any real advantage winning the show.

But assuming for 1 sec that they DO, then why does Charlotte feel SHE should get the preferential letter treatment instead ?

It smacks of "Fair when I want it, but not fair if others do." !

Charlottes point was that everyone should have a level playing field and that if Lauren at 35 is so needy that when she is ill she has to be visited by her Mother she should not be in the house, which I agree with.

I don't think there has been a single night that Lauren has not made the Highlights but she was obviously was "so ill" at some point that it gave rise to the HMs suspicions that she saw her Mum which if she did is wholly unfair as of course is gives her an advantage as she knows now how she is perceived. As well as the kid glove treatment she got during BBFM this is a total farce.

Well said Jack

[Amy Jade]

I still believe she saw her mother.

It's the same as the tabloids making up bullsh*t stories, they can get away with saying 'a source said that this series of Big Brother will have more sex dens and romp rooms than ever before', but if they were to say 'John Smith, the executive producer, has told us that there has been rigging of the votes in the past before' then they could get into serious legal trouble

You can't deny something if it's true in a situation like this because it'll cause more damage than it would to just admit it (what would they have to lose by admitting it anyway? there's so much outside contact nowadays that they hardly give a crap what the fans think of it anymore), if you don't mention it at all then people can speculate all they like but if you comment on it it sure as hell better be the truth or it'll come back to haunt them

They never once confirmed/denied sh*t in the freezer gate either, a few jokes were made on BOTS but that was it

Well well well, Marcus says just before a very controversial conversation that they MISTAKENLY believe something, so he is the fall guy if it turns out he's wrong?

Obviously not, the script writer who will have been given contextual guidance from the editor who will have been directed in what way to portray what happened (and whether to tell the truth or not) from the exec producer

So he'd be to blame...not that it will be wrong because if they didn't want to get into this, they wouldn't have confirmed/denied it either way, much like sh*t in the freezer gate

What? The script writer gets 'guidance ' from the editor who gets directed by the exec producer?

Well yes, the script has to fit the edit...the script writer doesn't just make up some random crap which has no relevance to the actual footage

And the edit is overseen by the exec producer, who would ultimately decide whether they want to comment on this conspiracy that Lauren has seen her mum (which I believe after reading the forums today that's why they decided to comment on it and confirm that it isn't true)

Once again, it would be more trouble than it's worth for them to deny something that is actually true. They could quite easily have kept quiet if they wanted to (as they did with freezer gate) but now they've commented on it it would be more detrimental to them if it were found out they were lying, than it would if they had just told the truth in the first place (because again...since when do they care about what fans think about outside contact? every single task nowadays seems to involve it, I hardly think they'd be bothered about admitting it if it were true since they face so much backlash for all the other outside contact they have anyway yet don't do anything about it)

You forgot the bull**** department who advise the script writer who goes via the legal department (according to you) who then goes back to the bull**** department who then go to the editor who is out because it's now lunch time , so then the producer gets mad because no one asked him everyone just jumped straight to the EXEC producer as always , Marcus meanwhile just wings it and says it how it happens .

Firstly why are you talking to yourself?

Secondly are you seriously insinuating that Marcus 'just wings it'? Like are you joking or do you think he writes the script himself? He may have more creative control nowadays but Marcus Bentley of all people doesn't decide whether they comment on a conspiracy theory or not

It turns out that most the people on this forum made the same mistake, even with a voice-over.

No voice over on live feed...and you got to see the bigger picture.

So it happened on Live Feed, that makes ir clear why they showed it on HLs! WITH A VOICEOVER!

I thought that everything happened on live feed?

[MeMyselfAndI]

I don' think she saw her mother, she was about to but in and say 'hang on' but Charlotte overspoke her. Lauren is not one to talk over somebody else, and Vicky/Charlotte were both yapping

[Patricia4]

She was about to say something but I dont seem to think she did see her Mam.

[fingers]

Just more BB Bullcrap to feed the masses.

Lauren saw a doctor and NOT a family member.

Her crazy mother was probably pretending to be a doctor that day.

She does things like that, you know, being a gender counsellor or being a German newspaper reporter or just using her business name to sell fake diplomas from a college located in a spare room at Tudor Cottage.

[Pincho Paxton]

It's possible that they hid the fact that Lauren saw her mom. That doesn't actually alter my argument. Lauren didn't know what they were talking about. Charlotte was being selfish anyway. And Vicky was right. So even if Lauren saw her mom, I stick with the same argument.

[fingers]

Well then, that's alright as well, then.

That conversation would never have made the HL show if it hadn't already been broadcast on the Live Feed.

I agree, they had to address it or it would have been brushed under the carpet.

I know fingers that is very clear.
