Duty of Care Failure? Concerns Over BB Management of Housemate Conflict & Discrimination and Authority.

[imsocold]

Some of my brain cells died reading that.

You had some to begin with?

No one is writing a manifesto of complaints.

OP certain did, it's a fucking novella of complaints and unfounded accusations.

You’re on here saying you’re okay with this updated “OG format.”

I never said that. I've been quite clear that there's room for improvement. But I'm also not ignorant as to how 2020's TV works.

Back then, if something happened bad or out of the ordinary, they'd find a way to include it narratively.

If they chose to. To suggest that everything "bad" or "out of the ordinary" made it to air - especially within a 30 minute format, is presumptuous if not entirely wrong. We didn't see everything - we saw what the editors felt compelled to show - that's what is being overlooked.

Why does the real world have to be "soap opera-fied" to satiate braindead viewers?

Because that's what the wider audience respond to, especially in the day of social media fuelled brain rot.

That was drilled in to the BBAU audience for years and it was executed more than perfectly for many seasons.

And that was 2000's television. Jump forward 20 years, a lot has changed.

BBUK shows that punishing the housemates can be an entertaining plot line.

Only when it adds value to the edit. Such a simple concept that is so easily lost on people who confuse their own tastes as the common majority's. Cause like it or not, this show is not about you.

When TV channels air game shows these days, it’s usually quiz shows. People love The Chase, it’s a success around the world.

Why hasn’t 10 or Endemol responded to this clear trend and change in television and added a round to Deal or no Deal where you only advance in the game if you manage to beat the banker in a multiple choice quiz round?

The answer is obvious: Because Deal or no Deal is not quiz show. Its whole point is that you don’t have to have a huge knowledge to win big. And if you wanted to have a quiz, you’d just commission and produce a quiz.


It’s the same with Big Brother. It is its own show. It works differently from Love Island, The Bachelor, MAFS or many other shows that fall into the reality genre.


I’m also not buying the “Generation TikTok” thing. Yes, lots of crap on social media. But social media also brought us "real life streamers" that provide unedited and unfiltered content. And it brought us podcasts that proof that people are listening to interesting conversations and not just mindless screaming, bitching and jealousy.

Big Brother would have never made it to air if people believed that you can only do shows that build on stuff that’s already there. Nobody would have watched the show if it was true that you can't do things differently from other broadcasters.

Actually, the original weekly format of Deal or No Deal featured a series of preliminary general knowledge quizzes to determine who would play the briefcase game. The reason they were eventually scrapped, though, is that they were long and tedious.

I wasn’t aware that Australia has kept the quiz round from the Dutch version. In that regards, it was probably not the best example.

But in some regards it might be. The reason why the Dutch version (and the Australian one) had the quiz round is that it was originally a German quiz show with the final round being a bit more Millionaire-like with the contestant climbing up a money tree.

The Dutch people adapted this show, but from the second season onwards replaced the final part with the briefcases. Probably because they’ve realised that doing a Millionaire-copy is not the most exciting thing.

Sorry, but why are you taking it so personally? Considering you joined October 4th and all you have done since is basically pick fights with people, I’m confused why you can’t be a civil person and stop making personal attacks?

We are here to have a discussion and frankly if you disagree that’s fine, but this is the 3rd post you’ve made targeting me because I have opinions. If you’ve got nothing nice to stay. Please button it up.
