Default episodes lacking in context

Is anyone else kinda annoyed this series at the distribution of airtime between housemates this year and how we get a lack of conext because of it. Whilst watching the noms tonight I felt a little confused by a few things: Raph and Joe seems to have a real problem with each other, Raph really went in on him in his nom. Also some tension between Kayleigh, Rebecca and Ellie and the sisters. Also interesting how Tom, Kieran and Lotan got zero noms.

Yeah, they just seem hell-bent on cramming the entire highlights with drama, without any build-up to it whatsoever.

Why would the lads get any votes? They aren't doing anything bad in the house. It's the females that are being over the top and creating all the drama.

The Joe/Raph thing was expected. Yesterdays (i think it was) highlights showed Joe telling Raph he wasn't happy about him taking away his clothes and he was happy with picking Raph with his killer nom. Joe trying to make a little drama for screen time.

Yeah it's been like this since day 1. We were never really properly introduced to the housemates or saw much of them getting to know each other those first few days, all that was aired were the arguments that happened with no real build up to them either

But Raph also seems to hate Joe as much as he does Raph. I wonder why that is.

typical drama led edits, no storyline or continuity.

Since BB moved to C5 it has increasingly seen shorter edits. Watch an old classic season again and note the longer scenes that would be allowed to play out, the difference now is crazy. You used to understand what a fight was about and see the lead up to an argument or situation a lot more. The modern show is a Frankenstein's monster of extremely short scenes and cutnpaste dialogue.

So much of the episode is wasted on the 'previously' and 'coming up' sections also.

Does a show with a cult following really need to show the audience what happened on the show the night before?

Couldn't agree more here.

It's like I see that **** last night and you already have limited time to show me new footage from a whole 24 hours so quit wasting it!!

Yeah they haven't done a great job at showing us who is friends with who.

Like some of the nominations came as a complete surprise to me!!

I used to love watching BB just for the normal conversations & fun tasks but now it's all about sex BB manipulating situations.
We never see a couple of HM's just sitting down discussing their lives.

I think it because Joe treated Arthur badly and he was his friend. And also he finds him horrible and unpleasant.
