Big Brother producers are 'steering the edit' to save Holly from eviction

Big Brother Australia fans have turned on Holly Young after just a couple of weeks in the house, but rumour has it that producers are doing everything they can to keep her in the competition. While the show is streaming live, the episodes playing on TV are edited, and PEDESTRIAN.TV recently reported they’re trying to change the narrative.

As we all know, controversy on reality TV brings big ratings, and Big Brother Australia producers are apparently “working overtime” to keep Holly in the house.

“Holly is too valuable. They’re trying everything they can behind the scenes to steer the edit so she survives,” an insider claimed.

“If Holly goes, producers lose a third of their season arc. She’s the linchpin.”

To combat public opinion, sources claimed producers were trying to “soften her fall with the audience before the vote”, by focusing on different storylines and slyly improving her image.

Michael Downs saw Holly’s entertainment value

Michael Downs was the first Big Brother Australia housemate to be evicted, and he was given the opportunity to nominate somebody to be House Leader. Surprisingly, he nominated Holly, meaning she is safe from eviction this Sunday.

Michael works in publishing, and he tells Chattr he had similar thoughts to the producers on the show.

“If she was up for eviction, she would absolutely have been next to go, she’d probably be nominated with 40 points,” Michael spills. “I’ve only done that to annoy everybody… to piss everyone off.

“I didn’t want to choose someone boring, like, this is television, right? [So] coming from that kind of perspective in media as well, I wanted to [choose somebody who would] cause the most drama.”

While Michael and Holly have clashed on the show, and he recently called her the “most fake in the house”, he admits he is a fan of her in real life.

“I think Holly’s great,” Michael says. “She lives five minutes from me, so literally, we go to the same bars all the time. I’m surprised we’ve never met before.”

Only time will tell if the public opinion of Holly will change, but until then, we’ll be glued to our seats.
