As I've said in all of my recent blogs, I have been a fan of the show "Big Brother" since the show started. Ya know, back before social media turned people into stalking, vulgar psychopaths with nothing better to do than hide behind a screen as they bully opposing fan bases and the families of houseguests. But it's not all bad...
Because of social media, you don't necessarily have to subscribe to the live feeds. Within a day, someone will have uploaded video clips of what's been happening inside the Big Brother house. For example, making Paulie Calafiore look like the bad guy during an argument and another houseguest smell like roses. I've seen many of these instances and they have opened my eyes a lot. Back when the show started, unless you had the feeds, you'd 100% believe what you saw on television.
This season, the conversation on social media is so split. The reason for this is because there is a huge disconnect between what is edited and highlighted for one hour, three days a week on CBS versus what is happening moment by moment on the live feeds. I understand there's only so much time to fit a ton of footage, however there have been many distorted facts put into the show.
I don't understand how or why the show can or would do this. Today, more than ever, they can't really fool anyone. Someone will perceive something from watching the show and post it on social media, only to be corrected and shown the full context from someone with a live feed clip. So why take things so out of context?
