why ?

[harmony]

on the like big brother live on E4 and stuff why do the housemates talk then it's just like the wind blowing for like a minute then talking for 10 seconds then the wind again.. it's really annoying? why does it happen?

:S, thanks.

It is because they are swearing or talking about something they're not supposed to so they have to cover it up.

[edible]

it's something to do with the feed i believe.

PN, it's not that.

[harmony]

it can't be though, the twins were talking about hair straighteners.. how is that swearing or something they're not supposed to talk about? :S

when its loss of sound they tell you and if its live how can they block it out ? cause they don't know what they're going to say.

edit: @victoria, that's what i was thinking.

[PigsNose]

No because I watched it last year and there was an advert saying why it blocked it out. I mean there were loads of reasons not just swearing. That's what it said, but it did get really annoying.

[edible]

they put up a little thing saying something like

"Sorry for the loss of sound, the live feed will be back shortly"

[benjamin]

It's because they're not legally allowed to put people on live TV for 24 hours or something.

In the night, sometimes the picture goes onto something else aswell.

It can be any number of things.

1) Swearing - They have to cut this off for several reasons

2) Brand Naming - If the twins discuss their GHD straightners and how good they are, that is free advertising and Channel 4 will cut that out. Likewise if they had said GHDs are better than Babyliss because Babyliss make your hair fall out, that is disgracing a brands' name and therefore has to be cut out because Babyliss could sue Channel 4!

3) Naming people - If one of the housemates talk about how their Mum has piles or how their mate is a complete cow they have to get rid of this. This is because the housemates are the ones that gave up their right to privacy, not their friends and family. In airing such discussion, Channel 4 are breaching laws.

4) Information BB doesn't want to release yet - If there is a big task going on or public nominations it is likely Channel 4 will not air them live. This is so people tune into the nightly Channel 4 show to watch it there!

Hope that clears things up!

I think it's to give wildlife some fame.

What he said, and they are allowed to put people on TV, 24/7, otherwise they wouldn't be on Big Brother
