Ok what about this.
Alex was shown to be a right nasty cow (agree)
So whoever selected her must have thought, right this is one nasty cow, lets put her in big brother, show her to be a right nasty cow, and see where that goes, maybe i'm being a bit niave here, but considering what happened with jade the year before, and the fact that alex was black, do you think they woul;d take the risk of more flak !
Have i wondered from the point ! i don't know, maybe i'm just showing anohter side to my personality, like we do, i have always thought that all sides of a persons personality are explored on the h/l reel and the general points of any argument opr discussion and the way people acted in any argument or discussion usually comes across as it happens.
Just to add as well, that even with live feed we still don't get the full story, because anything the producers think they could use on the show will be sound dipped to hell during the live feed.
So live feed doesn't really come into play on the big issues, more on the little issues like "does makosi wash her knickers everyday"
The only reason Alex was put in the house was for column inches, as Charley the year before caused such an uproar, created publicity for the programme, and therefore publicity equals money. Big Brother and Endemol are such a huge money making machine, and that, ultimately, is the reason behind the choice of any of the housemates....coupled with trying to keep OFCOM happy of course
And yes, Alex was shown to be a right nasty cow, but this wasnt unfair editing, as she was shown to be a right nasty cow on the LF aswell...there are some aspects any amount of editing cant hide
I agree that over time the LF has been diluted aswell, but it's still paramount in importance to a better rounded view of what we see. Conversations that may seem innocuous in comparison to a massive argument, are very important to the viewers insight into a housemate...they talk about everything, from politics to love, their lives to what books they like....and as far as I am concerned, its the little things aswell that help form what I truely think of someone, not just how they react in an argument, if they dont care about getting their boobs out, or if they can spear sweetcorn on the end of a toothpick.
Rachel being an example...she was shown on the LF as being a fence sitter and someone who avoided conflict, when in actual fact she was very witty at times and didnt NEED to blow up at someone to let them know they were out of line....alot of this would have been missed by the general viewer of course, because it didnt fit in.
Same with Darnell and the Aussie girl (cant remember her name) they had a complicated relationship, but Im sure many people didnt realise just how compicated it was...
So would i be correct in assuming that what you are saying is, some people can make up thier own minds about housemates, and some people can't..which is my point in this, you only get swayed by the editing if you allow yourself to be led by others.
which is exactly what we'll be doing without the LF....'others' being the producers and editors
