3. Housemates refer to the ‘Outside World’ and ‘Real World’ although they are in the real world but illusion.

5. Jade Goody entered the Big Brother house in 2002. Previous to the programme Jade was a working class nurse who was in a great amount of debt. Whilst in the house she didn’t prove to be popular with the public ,82% of the public voted to evict her rather than Shilpa Shetty. After her time in Big Brother Jade made a living out newspaper and magazine deals and became a successful celebrity without actually being talented in anything. This proves that in today's society it is possible for anyone to become famous. Style over substance (celebrity without talent)

7. Other programmes such as Big Brothers Big Mouth and Big Brothers Little brother are centred around the programme. Both rely on audience involvement who make up the studio audience to give the programme meaning. The public’s opinion is essential.
8. Public opinion sways the way the tabloids represent characters. They represent characters in a way they think that the public view them in order to sell copies.

10. Breakdown between culture and societySimulacrum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl9jNhQtpB8 Big brother is a simulacrum of society. The example I have found is this video. What happens is that the housemates are watching the screen in the house about another housemate who is watching a screen which is a message from her family. This is a very big simulacrum as the diagram below shows. screen housemate Screen Housemates Big screen Crowd outside house TV Viewer at home
11. Stephen Baldwin Devote Christian ShilpaShetty Hindu HiraHabibshah Muslim Kathreyakasisopa Buddhist Vinnie Jones Atheist
12. Clash of cultures This is the negative side to what the different cultures can bring as the video shows, there is a clear clash between the two cultures as they are from two completely different backgrounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVSvp5JJO4s
13. This is the positive effect of having different cultures in the house together, this clip shows how one housemate, stephen, introduces another housemate, Alex to his religion. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/big_brother/2808964/Big-Brothers-Stephen-and-Alex-Reid-the-Bible.html
Editor's Notes
There are loads of different religions in the house so that is a decline of the meta narrative. Also, it is not told from one persons point of view, we see what is going on with everybody and the diary room shows everybody's point of view. No morals or script, the audience makes up their own view on the characters as opposed to being told what to think.
This diagram shows how ‘reality’ in the programme is not reality at all as there is many mediated sources running throughout the show. The diagram shows that we are the viewers at home, we are watching the TV, On the TV we are watching the crowds watching the big screen, the crowd watching the big screen are watching the housemates who are watching the big screen inside the house. On the big screen is another housemate who is also watching a screen inside the diary room! So we are watching through the eyes of several people in this reality clip which is very post modern. This is a type of mirroring and we see all the levels of simulacrum. It used to be a crowd going to watch a live event which would be a very classic way of viewing but we now have all these types of media showing media within itself.
Big brother displays the breakdown between culture and society becausethey have 12 housemates all from 12 different social and racial backgrounds. Each series big brother hopes to create interesting TV by introducing the most diverse housemates possible. This can be too assist creative television or to provoke clashes between them. All the housemates believe in different religions from one another. This is different from when everybody who lived together would believe in the same thing and near enough the same religions so it is a conflicting house with completely different cultures and beliefs.
