Here's a quote from the BB4 book, which makes interesting reading!

" 'We don't need to mess around with their lives while they're in there,' says Gigi Eligoloff, Executive Producer ... 'All the really compulsive elements from Big Brother come from leaving them alone to get on with it.

'We don't want to push people to the edge. BB isn't about being tough enough to survive hardships like not having enough to eat, it's an experience where you have to rely on others to survive, and there's enough drama generated through the business of having to nominate your friends, without having to add anythign else to the mix.' "

Hmmmm ..... sounds like they have done a complete U-turn on this for BB5 !!
