Jedward hint Celebrity Big Brother is ‘fixed’ after posting scathing rants about ‘fake’ housemates
This story comes from the Sun written by Ola Nojomu This story follows an interview of Irish Pop duo Jedward, or John and Edward Grimes, after their recent stint in channel 5 show, Celebrity Big Brother. The pair labelled their fellow housemates as 'fake' and claimed they had been told to say certain things by their agents. This is interesting in highlighting the more modern 'issue' or 'concern' of reality TV being scripted and constructed, even a seemingly 'raw' programme such as Big Brother. The perspective of this article portrays the Jedward brothers to almost seem petty, after coming runner up to winner Coleen Nolan, when I think most people of sound mind would be aware of the staging of the infamous CBB. This is evident from last series when the online live stream was left on revealing an extremely scripted scene in the Big Brother House.
The fact that there is distain between the housemates, even after the show has finished, will act as more publicity for the show rather than to its detriment, as it revealed that Jedward released a lot of these statements during a press conference, therefore demonstrating the importance of the media in allowing shows like this to continue, despite this years final being the least watched yet with a mediocre 2.2 million viewers.
