Considering I highly doubt the nominees would have been permitted to do anything with the phone bar record their video, I don’t see what the issue is. It’s perfect content for social media.

It’s the principle. They could achieve the same thing with typical Diary Room down-the-barrel style footage, like they’ve done in the past. That’s beside the fact that the whole “please save me” schtick is incredibly phoney (always has been) and shouldn’t be a thing on Big Brother anyway, starting from when they did it on Nine.

Not to mention… why now? And not when Michael, Jane and Mia were up…
 
It's funny because they've been doing this task for 24 hrs and they've completely lost the plot... Do these people actually work in real life???

I see why they chose this cast... how can you not figure out that since you're in the BB house that everything is made for ratings + its been around for 20 years and we've all seen that tasks are set up for maximum personality exploitation to make a tv show.

I find it amusing how Coco thinks the other 2 taking food is wrong but her taking coffee into a task where you're not supposed to have coffee isn't wrong ???

Housemates don't need a phone to record a video. There's a perfectly capable camera in the diary room that production can use to record the nominees one by one.

I have noticed pretty much all of the episodes so far have overrun past what it says on the EPG, a tactic for people to stay switched on to the next show and increase 10's ratings?

Running over is pain for people who record FTA and watch back later only to find their recording got cut off. Yes streaming is an option, but then ads etc...

For the daily shows without live segments there is no excuse for not advertising the correct runtime.

I'll say it again, Bruce and Ed - children. There's a few others I'd group with them too.

This is exactly what’s wrong with this generation of HMs and the entitlement, but also a result of these producers and Big Brother being far too soft from the outset. It's creating HMs who have no idea what hard work or a real challenge truly is.

The crux of that task is as true to an OG task as possible, but was nowhere near as bad as it could have been. They actually got it easy. They're behaving like brats and it's genuinely cringe.

The HMs of yesteryear are looking on with second-hand embarrassment.

This "back in my day" logic can be applied to pretty much anything that has been around for a long enough time.

Commercial TV channels have been doing this forever and a day.

Also Conor. I tried I was like he’s got Tourette’s give him some leeway but he’s fucked. He’s rude and arrogant regardless of the Tourette’s. I respect that he’s got it. But no person should be that rude.

The challenge is literally to be rude and push the staff to the edge without them catching on, he was one of the few that were actually meeting the challenge objectives..
 
No one except maybe Bruce/Holly was edited accurately in that episode. They could have made Vinnie, Colin and Coco look so much worst and Ed look better. But it goes back to the overriding choice of production to decide for us who the heroes and villains are through the editing, rather than actually focus on showing an accurate picture of the day and letting the audience decide for themselves.
 
Eh. Another episode with some solid segments. Poor editing as usual. The drama was delivered tn though, manipulated or not. The music still has to go, whether it’s the royalty free crap or the Temu White Lotus theme. I know it doesn’t bother some but it is really grinding my gears. No music is good music.

Also, the eviction cards at the ad breaks - what’s with the Nick Junior soundtrack? It’s prime real estate for the them tune to underscore.

The story producers and editors really need to pull their heads out of their ass.
 
Colin comes out of the edit smelling of roses, yet again.

I really wanted to see Holly shocked by the realisation she might have ruined her life by hooking up with Colin in the house. They cut the most interesting moments.

I think one of the issues with BB ... and I'm talking about any recent BB, even channel 9 and channel 7 ... is that 24 hours (or 12 hours if you only count the hours that HMs are awake) needs to be cut down and condensed in to a 1 or 1.5 hour episode. It would be extremely difficult to show, with complete context, and in full, every single conversation, drama, and/or argument that was had in the house during that 24 hour period.

As a result, we, the viewers, get "cut-down" versions of "some" of the interactions that took place during the day. Editors have to "pick and choose" which interactions they show, and how much of those they show. Not only that, but they also have to put all of this in to some sort of logical order (timeline-wise) that makes sense to viewers.

Therefore, because of this requirement to cram everything down to a 1 or 1.5 hour show, things can look, or come across as, a bit "suspect" to viewers who then jump on forums such as this one and accuse the show and the producers of "bad editing", "manipulation", "favouritism", etc. And, this is made even more prominent now that we have a live feed back again.

I am not trying to make excuses for the editing or the "favouritism" ... I do agree that things can and do look a but sus at times ... and that editors/producers can also show "showmances" or other "not-so-relevant" things ahead of "important" interactions ... but, regardless, I can at least see why we, the viewing public, get the "impression" that there is bias in the editing, when, given the restrictive nature of editors having to condense everything down, and quickly, to meet the show deadline, there may very well not be any such bias at all.

Correct. They’ll never be able to convey the entire 24 hours into a condensed episode.

I will point out, as others have done too, that the days events were pretty accurately portrayed in prior years, including earlier seasons that had mere 30 minute daily show episodes.

The issue we have with this season in particular (also including the 7 era) is that the story producers are deliberately altering the days events to portray certain pre-determined narratives, or heavily fixate on longer stories that could be reduced to a smaller beat. The same goes in the other direction - stories that warrant longer segments are being reduced to smaller beats. Is this intentional? Maybe, maybe not. The story team is the one that guides the editor in cutting the show. Editors aren’t left to their own devices to pick and choose. Daily shows are reviewed and re-edited the morning they’re broadcast. My theory is that the team responsible for it this season is heavily influenced by their experience on shows like Married At First Sight, Love Island, Survivor, et al. They are inexperienced with this specific reality format. That, or they really think the viewing public are incapable of making their own minds up about the days events.

At the end of the day, it is possible to edit these daily shows properly. Attention is being paid to irrelevant things at times. Case in point, obnoxiously long transitions, “previously on…” segments and unwarranted selection of backing tracks. They’re overly complicating what should be relatively simple, all things considered.
