What I mean by that, and it's been a gripe of mine for years, is that when the whole HL show is stitched together like a montage out of super short edits you never get a chance to see how things develop or what actually caused this or that. You don't even get full conversations any more... You get an edited soundbite and then a HM going to the DR to complain about it.

Look at a classic series like BB5... The edits then were so long. Every character and situation had room to breath and you understood why the HMs felt like they did.

Now it's a montage of probably out of order short clips, often with music over the top. No context at all.

I'm not saying that I can't have fun with the modern model, I can and do, but we'll never get those old days back and that is a shame.

..it’s funny because just a few days ago I was looking at a few old clips of Michelle Bass and Chicken Stew/era…because I was trying to think of any other lil bit messy BB romance obsessions/as well as Elsa/Marcus….anyway, I ended in watching lots of them because they were just lovely and a real feel good…it was like putting a band aid over the pain and injuries of the last week…but yeah, I recall so many times of falling asleep watching livefeed and then being woken up in the early house by housemates screaming at each other as it all erupted…and I recall when I first began to watch the live feed and deprive myself of sleep through the summer…?…thinking that for those who only watched highlights and nothing else…?…on the forum here in discussion…?…we were just watching completely different ‘truths’ and situations…it was such an awakening of how edited it was…
