Lies and deception are the norm in the USA, here we treat lies and deception as a cheat, ergo the phrase Game player is abused and taken out of context. BBBOTS started it with its just a game, but they are wrong, its a reality show that's perceived by some as a game but the rules state the HM's should be real as the rules state. No this and that and they have now crossed the line by allowing outside contact so the whole shows ethos has become a toy for the prods to use to invent another ethos to the shows ever declining support.

If its a game show, why show back stories before they go in as we expect them to be true to these back stories. The GBP are programmed to accept games as games which have rules. Reality tv is different. Sadly some people cant differentiate between The price is right as a game show and BB as a reality show. one has rules the other does not.

I agree with you.

The problem lies with the £100.000 prize at the end, which constitutes it as a game show, but it's also a reality show.

Many people like things to be black and white, clear and simple, but BB isn't it's confusing.

I would rather it be like a game show to stop all this nonsense of 'oh they're a game player' because it winds me right up!

Or to remove the £100.000 prize and have it as a reality show, simple!
