The conspiracy of CBB

Are the Editing suite going for some award?

I must be losing my marbles....did I not see Jade harangue Shilpa for ages on the live feed and yet in the highlights (lowlifes?!) last night there seemed an amicable discussion taking place?

On other boards there is a seed of thought with regard to Miss J. They think that she is being portrayed in the best possible light (reasonable, fair and forthright in her speech and behaviour) and that any editing is allowing us to think that the 'Mr Jo, sorry Miss Jo. and Dan (beauty really is only skin deep)' are ultimately going to take the flak - not Miss J. They may even want her to win.

I don't mind being manipulated, when I want to be manipulated and not when someone thinks the can get away with it!

For instance, when her mama was there were lots of shots of her wringing her hands (painful) soft lighting and muzak (ok that wasn't in) with Miss J. looking suitably distressed:

'Jacques, I kannot andle it animore'.

With Mr Titty grasping her neck in a consoling manner.

'Oi, mind me carotid artery!' (Squeeze harder Mr Titty!)'

As for Mr J. suggesting that Shilpa go and 'ave a word' - what planet is he on. Yes Mr J. everyone will love you if you do not get involved.

Now wouldn't we all like Cleo to be in our camp when things get rough....not!

My hero is Ian - that boy did what Cleo should have done - talked to BB - stayed away from 'The Others' and comforted Shilpa.

I think the day I enjoyed best was when they were united in their musical groups. I hope they repeat it as the rest is just one glorious 'bitch fest'.

Well I do have a life and will now get on with it! Ta ta

what ARE you on about?

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 16/01/2007 09:59

no idea what you're on about but of course it's all staged. The escapes, the bitching, everything. Can't believe people actually watch it.

DimpledThighs · 16/01/2007 10:25

have stopped watching but heard on the radio that there are calls of it being racist as they aer all bullying Shilpa. Could explain the editing.

Well in a nutshell, I feel that the programme makers are editing the programme to ensure Jade is seen a good light even though she and her mates have been bullying Shipla mercilessly.

I find what is happening in CBB very upsetting.

What hope is there for a child who is being bullied at school; where children watch CBB constantly, if the bullies finally get away with it.

I hope that by complaining - which I have - that something will be done. So far over 2000 have complained to Ofcom and a 'Bullying Charity' has removed Jade as their spokesperson.

I don't know about Jade being portrayed in good light tbh. Only one or two posters on here seem to think that she is anything other than a stupid racist bully.

bookends · 16/01/2007 11:51

My only concern is that as Jade, Jackiey(?), Dermot and Russell all belong to the same agent and no matter how outraged we are this feels that it may be brushed under the carpet.

with an agent

I hope you're 'tutting' like mad, tutter.

I wonder what would have happened if Beyonce had come into CBB, would they have reacted to her like that? Do you think they are disrespecting Shilpa because they do not know who she is and basically 'she's not worth it'.

Shilpa's family and friends should be very proud of her behaviour throughout, she has been a great ambassador for her country and an aspiration for young girls.

havent seen any this series

it looks deathly

Know exactly what you are saying Bookends, I watched it live too and the night when Carole got evicted and have been totally bemused how they have edited to make Jade 'not look so bad' when in reality she is nothing more than a jumped up bully.
I was prepared to give Jade a chance when she came into the house as I know that the papers can make you be seen in a bad light, but she is far far worse than I had imagined.

Rant over and back to getting on with my life too!

DimpledThighs · 16/01/2007 14:12

if it is racist bullying channel 4 would be mad to edit it out and pretend it is not happening. racism needs to be exposed not concealed. What message does this send to everyone?

bookends you are so right. Complaints need to be made - this cannot and will not be tolerated.

bookends · 16/01/2007 15:16

Enid for your sake don't. Dellie and DimpledThighs I think everyone who enters knows what its all about. The producers choose different personalities, classes, cultures etc., so that they clash or spark off each other.

Wouldn't it have been great if they had all got together made a 'Bollywood show', learned a little bit more of her culture,her language rather than just slag her off. It probably wouldn't be 'entertaining' tv. Well I really enjoyed the musical numbers they did the other day, it was so much fun.

The girls are plainly jealous of Shilpa and for whatever annoying traits she may or may not have when race, creed and colour are brought into it I feel that the contest is no longer fair.

Just a thought...are the two who decided not to vote for Cleo or Carole going to be punished. Maybe by not letting them cast a vote this week. In all areas BB is very firm about following rules, I didn't realise that they could abstain from voting!
