Hanging up on Big Brother

Britain's premium-rate phone line regulator, Icstis, has ruled that Big Brother misled viewers who paid to evict contestants then watched as one of them returned to the house. Media Guardian reports that Icstis received 2635 complaints after evicted housemate Nikki Grahame was allowed back on to the show. Apart from often insulting our intelligence, "reality" shows like Big Brother are money spinners for TV networks which make lots of money on pemium-rate phone calls. It's good to see one of them held to account for breaching the viewers' trust.
