Not prompts on what to say? That's OK then...


Why didn't you reply to the opening post then?...

“Ollie and Sam were taking part in an improvised reality scene and as part of this they were provided with storylines to react to.”

I did reply to the opening post...saying it's not a big deal, housemates have actually left the show in the past and there wasn't a big massive deal made of it, the task was to show their talent, well Sam and Ollie are famous because of the scripted reality shows they are in, and that's exactly what they done for the task, scripted reality.

Anyway I see you have edited your other post so I will reply to that here too..

In my opinion BB stopped being a social experiment before it even moved from c4 to c5, Way back when the very first series began the social experiment idea of it was what initially got me interested, but these days more and more people want to see all in your face housemates that cause a scene, get involved in arguments every day, it's what they class as entertaining, I still prefer to see how housemates cope being cooped up the house with people they normally wouldnt socialise with, I enjoy seeing their reactions to tasks and situations and so on but it's not a social experiment as any where near as much as an entertainment show these days.

Saying all that though I don't see how a crew member showing prompts for a task stops it from being real, they have people in a lot during tasks these days and no one bothers really, just because the person had crew written on the back of their shirt it's being blown out of proportion IMO.

The opening post doesn't say prompts, it says storylines. That's what I am referring to. Why didn't you say...

"They weren't storylines they were prompts to open the bag."

Then there would not have been a problem.

Also.. you can't stop Big Brother from being a social experiment. It is one by default, just by being a bunch of people in a house not being given storylines.
