Thanks Kimota 

bit of agro now going on with BBCP and BB Extra on Twitter 

BB Extra say they are stealing their material   and will start blocking anyone from 3.00pm who follows BBCP 

sorry nothing to do with your post kimota - just thought I would mention in case anyone is following either of these 

Any chance of a link? I can find no one named BB Extra on Twitter

Found it now! I can see why BB Extra are annoyed, but love Docs show. Don't watch the clips he uploads anyway as they are mostly for the American audience and are freely available here on FB?YouTube ect.

I'm listening to the podcast (right hand of the site - BB Couch Potato Radio Live, around 46 mins in.) - of Fridays eviction night and interestingly they have Jo Hemmings, the previous  programme psychologist, where she is talking about how the psychologists assess potential HMs and what the broadcaster does with the assessments! It answers many of our questions!  

Also, for any Slick Vic fans, he'll be on the show after BOTS on Monday discussing his axing from the show because of his Ofcom complaint.

Some of her comments were a bit misleading: the producers she's referring to would have worked for Endemol, not C4. Endemol produces the show, and chooses the HMs, so it's Endemol who would be ignoring the psychologists' assessments. My understanding is that C4/C5 have final say on HMs, so they have to take some responsibility, but any potential HM would have to have been passed by Endemol first. There were reported cases of C4 vetoing HMs - one particular case was in BB7 where C4 prevented two HMs with criminal records  - at least one of them for violence - entering the house. Endemol threw their toys out and leaked the story to the press, implying heavy-handedness by C4, but I think the public was on C4's side with that one...

Also, Jo Hemmings skirted around the specific incident she was asked about, which has been well-documented. I forget the person's name, but a BB advisor went public after "Fight Night", stating that he had specifically warned Endemol not to return the bedsit HMs to the house, because they had gained too much information and it would create a dangerous situation. Despite - or perhaps because of  - this warning, BB put them back in anyway. The advisor resigned because his advice was ignored.

‬ Join us after BOTS at 11pm BST for guest @VicEbuwaSlick  tweeted by DR Detroit.

Vic will be talking about being barred from BBOTS this season.

Thanks kimota! It should be a goodun!  Thereafter I'll listen just because its a good show. 

 Victor is on now. 

The show is on tonight after Bots. Special guest Lydia Louisa

Ooo! Ta for the reminder again kimota. Can't wait to hear what Lydia has to say! 

She was also on Benedict's show last night, but it was a bit of a poor phone connection. She's always a good guest though!

kimota, I can't see how to join the site to visit the chat room. I keep being flung out signing in. 

Oh, also, I forgot where Benedict's show is. Ta. 

Benedicts Box link http://www.spreaker.com/show/benedict_s_box

Great show now on  with Lauren and Benedict as guests!

Well worth a listen if you missed it!

You can open a 'chatango account at the bottom left of the chat or do what I do and  just click 'set name' on the bottom right which opens a small box further up the page where you can create a temporary name. The only problem is if you need to refresh, you then have to set a new name. I usually just add a number to mine! Hope that helps!

Lauren Carre ‏@Lauren_Carre
