Big Brother black out after brawl
LONDON (Reuters) - "Big Brother" was taken off air for 90 minutes early today after screaming housemates threatened to kill each other and had to be dragged apart by security guards.
Producers of the reality TV show said they pulled the plug when contestants pushed one another, hurled trays and unleashed a torrent of swearing.
Police said on Thursday they were examining the brawl.
"We've obtained a copy of the tape of last night's footage and we're looking at it with a view to seeing whether there's anything to take forward," said a spokeswoman for Hertfordshire police.
One contestant was physically sick from the shock after a food fight spiralled out of control.
Bodybuilder Jason Cowen, 30, screamed at 21-year-old student Marco Sabba: "I'll knock you out. I'll take your head off, end of story."
Legal administrator Emma Greenwood, 20, hurled insults at student Victor Ebuwa, 23, who replied: "Don't ever f*** with me Emma -- one warning, that's all. Get out of my face."
Student Vanessa Nimmo, 26, accused bank clerk Nadia Almada, 27, of calling her a **** and the pair traded insults.
The live feed on Channel 4 and digital channel E4 was cut from 1:20 a.m. (0020 GMT) to 3 a.m. on Thursday.
Viewers were shown an outside shot of the house as guards were called in for the first time in five series of the show.
"We are monitoring the situation closely," a Channel 4 spokeswoman said. "We are more concerned about their health and welfare than ratings."
Television watchdogs said the chaos marked a new low for reality TV shows desperate to attract viewers with ever more shocking scenes.
"They are really scraping the barrel by creating controversy," said John Beyer, director of Mediawatch, a TV standards campaign group. "I wish they'd take it off permanently."
There has already been nudity, the suggestion of sex and frequent argument on the show.
In a bid to attract audiences and counter accusations the formula has grown tired, its producers have deliberately tried to create a tense environment.
The slogan for the fifth series is "Big Brother Gets Evil" and among the original housemates were an aspiring glamour model, a political activist and a former asylum seeker.
They are made to perform a variety of tasks and contestants are evicted from the house each week in a public vote. The last one standing in seven weeks will win a prize of up to 100,000 pounds.
Any comments?
Is it on for TV shows to put people through this when they knew this kind of thing was gonna happen. I mean putting different personalities I mean very different personalities together is bound to cause this.
I THINK BIG BROTHER HAS GONE TOO FAR.HAVE YOU?

I thought Jason showed immense restraint; the sight of the annoying little b!tch sat there with a smirk on his drunken face made me want to videodrome through the screen and butcher him, so God knows how it made him feel...
That said, I still don't think they're being mentally tortured enough.

As much as I hate BigBrotehr, I watched it last night.
Victor and Emma sit down at the breakfast table thing.
Emma throws a bit of food at Victor, Victor throws anotehr bit back, so she picks up a tray and tries to beat him with it.
And her voice is sooooooo annoying.
"No I DIDN'T"
With her arm on her hip and the other one waving around like a flag.
Can one person get any stupider?
Oh, yes, Marco.

i've just heard on the radio that the eviction has been cancelled because of the fights last night.I think they should evict either victor, Emma or Jason just to cool the situation down a bit.
Do you think their will be more conflicts between Emma and Victor or not?

Let me see....a party where 2 people sat off by themselves slagging everyone else off, a couple spent most of the night snogging, 2 girls went off by themselves and cried, and 4 immature cockwits trashing the place and acting like drunken fools?
Hmm...sounds like every party I went to at High School to be honest.
Has it gone too far? It hasn't gone far ENOUGH. I want to see narcissistic mungwits being mentally tortured. I want to see harrowing accounts of spiritual pain in the diary room. I want these performing monkeys to be worshipping fire by the end of this series. Then I'll tune in.

Because when a member of the public makes a complaint they have to investigate or face negligance charges, and many members of the public made complaints directly to the police.

Yep, it's been confirmed.
Apparently tonight's evictions have been postponed until next week, to allow the housemates to reconcillate before anybody leaves.

They are pigs. For Jason to blow up and threaten women the way he did just shows what an animal he is. It was not Emmas fault they heard what they were saying about her. Kick him out.

Saw a couple of 'highlights' and i really can't see what all the fuss is about, i saw far more violent altercations during work experience at my old primary school when one of the kids stole someones elses pot of paints. They stick a bunch of freaks like that together and are surprised when something like happens? C4 are a bunch of idiots then, of course i doubt they care and are off down to the bank laughing all the way.
The thing that annoys me the most is apparently the police are looking into it. Ermmmm why? Not enough motorists to catch nowadays? Stop being so bloody stupid and get on catching proper criminals instead of investigating a bit of slapping between some Z list celebrities
