Squeezing in hours of footage in just three Big Brotherepisodes a week undoubtedly takes some fine tuning and a lot of editing.
With the primary focus on challenges, drama and rivalries, recent evictee Casey Mazzucchelli admits fellow housemate Daniel Gorringe hasn’t come across quite as he is in real life.

Talking to New Idea the 25-year-old says the editing has been relatively “accurate” although she’s found producer’s views on some storylines interesting.
“Certain parts I've been like, ‘Oh, okay, that's how they perceived it’.”
Casey says AFL star Daniel Gorringe, in particular, has been edited to look different than what he was like in the house.
“I look at Dan’s editing and I kind of feel for him. Watching it back, they’ve made him look like this super macho alpha.”
Daniel has played a major role in the house.

While Dan has been a beloved member of the house, he has appeared to lead the strongest alliance on the show alongside his best friend Mat Garrick in that “alpha” role.
Casey says, Dan has a much softer side fans have rarely seen.
“I used to paint his toenails for him and he would cry on my shoulder. The man is a giant softy.”
Casey formed a close bond with Xavier, Mat and Dan.

Watching it back, Casey admits she almost can’t stand to see the way her friend has been cut together in the final edit.
“Sometimes the editing really rubs me the wrong way, it breaks my heart a little that it isn’t coming out how special he really is.
He is so special and such a good guy.”
Dan broke down to Big Brother.

Fans caught a rare glimpse into Dan’s “sensitive” side in recent weeks when Big Brother surprised the housemate with a video call from girlfriend Ana Cannon.
Dan broke down in tears, more than once, in a heartfelt display of emotion as he reaffirmed his love for his on-again off-again partner.
