Big Brother 15 Power Rankings - Howard v. Amanda, Perception v. Reality

Which side are you on?

As I move along in my first Big Brother season as a live-feeder, each week deepens my recognition of how producers slant their storylines in the edited episodes. In the BB Blog community that I've discovered, the phrase "getting a good edit" is routinely applied to players who's TV persona comes off in a more positive light than the person that Internet viewers become acquainted with.

Superfans originally worried that this disconnect would prevent the exposure of Aaryn Gries' Texas-sized bigotry, but thankfully those ugly truths became too much to ignore. Now though, four weeks into the game, an actual discrepancy between TV portrayal and online reality has emerged in the person of Howard, thanks to an episode that featured a textbook "good edit."
