Default My complaint to Ofcom. What do you think?

This is my complaint to Ofcom regarding Big Brother's biased editing and their exclusion of Lisa's nominations conversation:

To Ofcom,

I am sending you another complaint regarding Channel 4’s Big Brother.

I feel that the editing of the show has been completely manipulated in such a huge manner, that the viewing public and voters are being lied to, suggesting a breach of broadcasting regulations.

On the Big Brother live feed on Sunday 5th July at 00:41am, there was a conversation between the housemates Lisa, Karly and Dogface about nominations. The trio were clearly talking about nominations in code (including the covering of her face from Lisa), which is in breach of the fundamental Big Brother rule stating: “It is not permitted to discuss nominations, or try to influence anyone else’s nominations.”

If Big Brother had acted accordingly to the rules, the trio would have been punished. This punishment has altered in the past, but has frequently been the exclusion of nominations from housemates involved with such a breach.

However, in the transmission of the episode on Sunday evening, the conversation was completely missed out by the editors. This is a serious violation of the rules regarding “fair editing” of the show.

As a result of not showing this conversation, the housemates were not shown breaking the rules and Big Brother took no action. This is a blatant cover up to the public and the voters.

Therefore, the competition rules have been infringed by the editors as viewers are told to vote to evict people who perhaps should not be up for the vote if the appro[riate action was taken from Big Brother.

This is a clear breach of regulations (as I have said previously), and I hope you can investigate this fully as otherwise voters are spending money on a competition which is unfair and heavily biased.

I hope that the matter can conclude in a way whereby the appropriate companies including Channel 4, Brighter Pictures and Endemol, are fined for their lies.

I hope to receive a reply soon,

Gavin

How is it pathetic?

BB have manipulated the situation and have not represented the events of the day fairly.

Therefore, I'm entitled to complain to Ofcom.

It's important that Channel 4 and Endemol get punished for their biased editing.

If the program is bent then it's pointless watching(not to mention spending money to vote) and it does not deserve to survive

Yes they do have power in this area.

Because Big Brother is a television competition, and by not even showing a fundamental rule-break whcih could potentially lead on to different evictees, they have breached rules.

In doing this, viewers now have to vote for people who may not necessarily have been up if the fundamental rules were followed.

Hopefully Ofcom will take action.

lol @ Gavin and his letters to Ofcom.

Have you ever actually achieved anything with all these letters Gavin? has anything ever come out of them thats in the slightest bit positive?

Don't stop though, I actually find your posts pure comedy rather then annoying.
Yes I have achieved it on the following occasions:

- BB7 Nikki going back in
- BB8 Racism from Emily Parr
- BB9 Spitting by Dennis
- BB9 Alexandra causing aggression (a week before she was ejected)
- BB10 Loss of live feed
- BB9 Putting a blind man in
