I don't think enough people complaining about the editing realize that their complaints are mostly confirmation bias.

It's a wonder they enjoy the show at all.

Well said

Well it is all well and good for Editors to say this but often editors make a summary which bears no relation to what actually happened. They edit to their own preference not ours. Therefore we do not see the whole picture. Liking a person or not liking a person has nothing to do with viewers making up their minds. It is to do with what we are told.

To go away from housemates where it is easy to say we the viewer are biased I can give many examples of scientific edits in newspapers and they bear no relation to the true facts. So much so that scientists have had to write to papers and say the article was the opposite of the research.

Therefore we get our bias from the editors not the other way round.

Totally agree. It was great reading that this afternoon and I hope everyone can see that great insight.
You wouldn't hear much about the 'inside story' but since the series is coming to an end its interesting.

Strange is how many people are acting like... lol.. harumphing and crossing their arms and "hmmph.. not good enough" lol.
Be thankful instead.

You'd think he'd have something better to do, though, like improve viewing figures and ratings ..... he's whistling in the wind while at the helm of a sinking ship .....

Why are you smucking your face and guffawing?

Answer: Stupidity

What you should know is that - in some cases - participating and interacting with forums DOES improve viewing figures and ratings.

Then you should know that BB11 actually did quite good this season and it looks like the final and 'ultimate BB' is going to do great numbers.

Keep this in mind as well - Big Brother UK has had MASSIVE GIGANTIC RATINGS,
and,
Even BB's lowest ratings would be considered mind-boggling for MOST television productions.
and,
BB is hardly a 'sinking ship' but is a series that ran FAR FAR LONGER THAN MOST ANY OTHER TELEVISION SERIES EVER DREAMS ABOUT,
and,
Is retiring while STILL ONE OF THE TOP RATED PROGRAMS OUT THERE.

So the only question left is:
Who the **** are you?

Why not make a statement on one of the biggest Big Brother forums knowing that other people would cut and paste it and post it onto BB forums.

Not only does it spread the word about, or his version of the truth, it can provide him with information he may not necessarily easily find.

He gives it a few days then does a google(TM or similar) advanced search using a set of words from his statement that are slightly unusual ("Those of a high strung disposition" and "egenda") and sees on how many sites his words are quoted. Following the links to those sites would then allow him a wide variety of opiniuons he may not normally see etc.

mmmmm ..... possible, but I think not - he does not appear to be that bright .....

I found this particularly interesting.

"We also thought that because it's the last one on Channel 4"

Rather suggests that there will be more but taken over by another Channel, otherwise I think he would have said the last one ever.
