I think you may be thinking about Dawn, although her story was a lot more complicated than that. Dawn was fine, mentally, but she was portrayed in a very negative way and her treatment by BB was dreadful.
I dunno, if she went on hunger strike when she came out she clearly wasn't well mentally after they'd finished with her...even if she was fine before.

Oh God yes she wanted the tapes or something didn't she! Just goes to show the circus BB became, considering it started off as an experiment to see people who have never met each other could get along living in a house. You're right though Lecs, no matter how they dressed it up over the years the basic ingredient was still the same and HM's should have had some kind of after care or assessment, regardless of how long they were in there for.


(IMO of course)

Oh and Richard Desmond (owner of C5) is purposely publishing negative press about BB and Endemol (including the Nadia interview) as he's the only interested party in the purchase of the show (no other terrestrial channel else want it and the smaller channels would struggle to find the budget to run it) - so is doing his best to devalue the show as much as possible so he pays peanuts. (Again, so I've been told)
Well, maybe. However, the Daily Star has consistently taken the viewers' side againt BB for years: they were the only paper to publicize the row over the loss of LF, for example...

That's my point EL. I don't know about before, but right now apparently it is in their interest to be as anti-BB as possible as Desmond wants to buy the show and C4 are desperate to get rid of it. But Desmond wants to devalue it as much as possible via negative press so he pays a pittance.

It's a long story, but essentially BB lied to the police when questioned over their failure to let her leave the house when she requested it. Dawn supposedly went on hunger strike as a protest until BB released the tapes (which they'd previously told the police didn't exist). When the tapes were finally released, they vindicated Dawn: they showed that she'd asked to leave before her message from the outside, and before the eviction lines opened, and that Endemol had therefore lied to the viewing public and the police...

Didn't they just happen to "lose" footage of Jack Tweedy during the Shilpa row too?

That Dawn situation though, who the heck do they think they are? Far too big for their boots

I don't think the Star has been anti-BB though, has it? They're pretty-much the only tabloid that still gives it front-page coverage. They've often been negative towards C4 and Endemol's production, but that's a very different matter. And remember that if C5 does buy BB, Endemol will still be producing it...

Sorry, I should have been clearer, I mean painting the production of BB and Endemol in a bad light, not the show itself, my mistake x

Yep it does pose the question about Endemol producing it, but the head honcho will still be the owner and he will hold overall responsibility for it. I dunno, it's all speculation right now as to what will happen to show after it finishes, but what I was told today by a couple of different people seems to be the buzz that's going round at the mo.

No he wont and, if all the threads on DS are anything to go by, nobody has any respect for any of that shower anymore. although it's really no more than many FMs have been saying for years.
Yep, true.  I think the vast majority of people agree that it worked best with the classic, no meddling format.

Just a theory, but considering some of the earlier comments I've heard about this, I'm wondering if she misunderstood what the BBLB film actually was?

Unlike previous years, they didn't do a BBLB Finale for BB11 with all the HMs gathered together, and I wonder if that's what she thought it was. If it had been, then she'd have been right to be annoyed.
In fact, it's a music video featuring key HMs from all 11 years, so they couldn't be expected to include everyone...
