All they really need to cover Pete's involuntary outbursts of "w*nk" and "w*nk*rs" would be someone in the production
gallery with good reflexes and a bleep button? Sound gaps can still be used to cover other unbroadcastable audio.

I think, if the bosses really didn't want Pete's 'outbursts' broadcast, then they would maybe switch off his microphone?

The microphones would probably pick them up anyway. And people would say its discrimating against him.

It's obvious from watching though that Petes outbursts are quite rare - it's only when he's stressed / excited!

It's not causing a problem on the live feeds - but might when he's out and on BBLB (though if he wins, it'll just be the one show!)


Generally in the early days of BB most of the sounds cut are more due to legal issues - probably people talking about their friends and family, which can't be broadcast due to them not agreeing to be part of the show.


E4 used to have a great advert which they might dig out again about Uncle Bob wearing womens clothing - it might be true, but Uncle Bob has the right for the nation not to know about it!


P.S. I'm not one to want streaming on E4 cut, especially once the E4 24/7 feed goes - but I do think they could have kept E4 Music to run during breakfast time when the HMs are asleep, running from 6am to 9/10am.
