This is all prerecorded way back in the summer

There is no viewer participation

No public vote

What is the point ?

I may as well get an early night so I do not get told off for falling at work

I agree Mr. Sticks.

The whole point of BB is that the viewers make or break......I suppose the 'powers that be' thought the 'teeny boppers' would not be able to take the pressure so WHY do it !!!!!

[WILDCHILD]

Its motive is it is meant for edicational purposes, to study psycologically how a bunch of people react to each other, as Paul would say, 'in a fabricated environment'. It was BB's originalpurpose but now it is just for pure entertainment!

It may have been made for educational purposes but to me its a darn sight better entertainment value than BB4.

So they are a very mixed bunch, but at least they interact and arent afraid of being themselves.

The educational factor came into play almost straight away last night with the unblocking of the toilet, it was a test to see how well they would coope with that problem.
Failing the first task was partly educational too, how would the housemates survive on such a limited budget?
However, due to being brought forward this primetime version is intended to be soley for entertainment, it won't be until January when the 4 Learning narrated version comes out that people realise just how educational the show was meant to be, if not for everyone watching but certainly the housemates.
As you'll see, each of them now is changed in one way or another and their outlooks on life are not quite what they was before they went into the house.
