My CDWM thread has gone from OTBT...I've name changed (and will be doing so again) but AIBU in thinking that MN should be a safe haven for ranting and bitching away from RL???? huh?

Emailed one of the producers last week after watching the show to share a few thoughts. Just had a reply saying, and I quote:

"I'm glad you don't have regrets despite the nasty producer making you do all those bad things. (I'm an avid reader of mumsnet you know..)"

FFS, does a girl have no privacy? Shock

Yes. you. handsome producer - it's rude to peep you know. Join in, we don't bite Grin Grin Except maybe Hully, who I've witnessed going at fresh fodder new tech guy Grin Grin

don't think you can expect privacy if you volunteered to appear on national tv AND have you're profile for all to see on a massive forum like MN

Cookielove, they have hours and hours of footage. The impression I got from the original thread was that they asked very leading questions on the individual filming bits and then edited them out of context to portray the contestant in a particular way. That's why it's spoilt a bit for me. Chicken soup bloke obviously did say those things, but I'm left wondering what questions he was asked for that to be his response.

I agree with altinkum the op said she was on the birmingham one and that they made her look a cunt so that narrows it down to one person really doesnt it?

RoundOrangeHead · 28/02/2011 13:55

she served INSECTS

SarahStrattonHasNiceBears · 28/02/2011 13:57

April was the biggest cunt though. Right piece of work.

cookielove · 28/02/2011 13:57

Well yes altinkum, i just didn't want to say her name and then have everyone shout at me Hmm but i think it is rather obvious which one she is.

Yes chopchop i realise they have hours of footage, but do they really edit conversations to make them appear to make certain people look bad, for example, when zach/zak was complemting someone elses prawns, and then saying so much better than yours jerry. You can edit it out, but he was blantently being a wind up merchant

I saw the odd bit of the other thread but it kept moving around.

So, the producer who saw it... is he the one you said fancied you?

You didn't really think that the music we hear is the music people play? Obviously it's put in at post-production. Just like the music they play while you are doing your shopping/cooking.

No Jon didn't, she's since met up with him
and April and Paz wrote sorry on her fb and wanted to meet up

fizzyliftinggas · 28/02/2011 14:09

Wow burning I also missed all of this and have just watched your night on 4OD, I wish I could read the original thread now about what they edited etc. Did't paint you in a great light! Although aside from that April and Paz were clearly morons anyway! Grin

coraltoes · 28/02/2011 14:10

You posted in AIBU. What is your question please?

cookielove · 28/02/2011 14:11

I don't think the op is going to come back. I didn't say people were shouting at me, just that they might, although this being a forum i realise a little impossible.

I wondered what the hell happened to that thread. Is it totally gone now?

fookinell · 28/02/2011 14:26

VinegarTits · 28/02/2011 14:34

cookielove · 28/02/2011 14:34
