Is it really REAL?

These shows claim “realism”. It’s the way the programmes are shot and should be in a genre of observational documentaries. Ordinary contestants seem to be treated as celebrities even before they appear on the show as they get their expenses covered for them, so this is an even bigger desire for them to be on television.
Jade Goody has seen her life transform and “Nasty” Nick Bateman had a sucuessful career in the media.

Psychotherapist for the 1st ever series said it would be wrong to “throw in people who would disagree” – like putting a racist black guy together, we know opposites like that would have a big fight and stop communicating and in the house they had to keep communicating for a long time.
To achieve dramatic narrative producers would heartlessly edit footage.

FOR EXAMPLE – in an Australian series 82,750 hours of material was edited to 70hours. Live shows where broadcasted.
Also the audience is being misled as what they are being shown in ten minutes delayed to make sure of unsuitable material. BUT recently police are investigating charges of racism.

Big Brother is constructed to attract and hold a audience. It uses “real” people in “real” situations, BUT chooses to manipulate them to produce narrative/dram and conflict.
