Ben Elton wrote a book I think it was called Chart Throb it was f*cking awful. It was based on the X Factor and it made me feel unclean because as badly written as it was it was probably a vaguely accurate reflection of all reality shows. They're all staged. As clumsy as he is with the written word he definitely nailed something there.Reference:

Same with his BB book, Dead Famous...he's no Shakespeare but the gist was got, completely. Even down to the Sada type stereotypes.
tattoos and their nipple rings, their mutual interest in star signs, their endless hugging and touching, and above all their complete lack of genuine intellectual curiosity about one single thing on this planet that was not directly connected with themselves.
Hahaha!

That book was scarily accurate - I am convinced that this is what really happens .
I read 'Chart Throb' and I agree with Prom...what Ben Elton lacks in literary style he makes up for in observation...the ending was absolutely pants, I almost felt guilty leaving it in the hotel suite for some other sod to read it!

Same here. Even Phil Edgar-Jones has admitted that was a huge mistake that BB never recovered from. Still hasn't stopped them blatantly manipulating the show though.
BB6 when they put most of the hms up and Makosi got a massive number of votes compared to the next hm Vanessa and should have gone.
And rather than evict her they sat the hms down in front of them both and got them to decide.
I've never trusted BB since but did vote right up until the debacle of Nikki and others I'd voted out going back in
