I wasn't surprised at all she won. She was my favourite that series. Very classy, forgiving and just an all-round nice lady.
And I don't think the race issue had anything to do with Brian winning. People liked him, I didn't, but a lot of people did. I thought the BB8 final was a one-horse race tbh.
For instance the other Brian first gay winner nadia trans sexual winner then their was
Pete who won with Tourette's
They sent me a bundle of untraceable phone cards so that I could vote for her.
You had them too...? :cool:
Shilpa seemed the natural winner to me: polite, chatty (when she was with someone nice), gracious to Danielle when she made that dreadful apology ("I don't even mind if you touch the food!"), innocently flirty with Dirk, and at the centre of a really huge story.
As first Jermaine and then Dirk became wrapped in an impenetrable solemnity, Shilpa looked like the only natural winner.
As for Brian Belo, he got on well with almost everyone (not Carole, which did nothing but help him, or Gerry, but still), and was incredibly enthusiastic. It would be impossible to find a housemate who got out of bed in a more permanently sunny mood, and who greeted every task or activity with such glee. I just think he entertained people and lifted their spirits. He's never been popular on here, but neither have Cameron, Anthony, Josie or Sam, and they all won as well.
Besides its not against the law for a viewer to vote as many times as they want
So what's to stop the bb crew production staff voting multiple times to affect the vote
Also the very first bb graig against the lesbian nun if I remember correctly the vote was 51/49
In his favour graig won and give his 70 thousand winnings to that girl who he knew that was sick
Can't remember exactly what was wrong with her but always felt bb helped him win
Because they knew before hand he said he was going to give all his winnings away
Which meant lots of publicity for big brother
She had Downs and needed a brain operation that could only be done in America. I am not sure if she had the op but she has since died so perhaps not.
I actually liked Jermaine and Face in that series and didn't really like Shilpa at all. However, the treatment she received in the house was appalling and I will never forget going to bed in tears when Jade had a "chat" with Shilpa with Chilo (sp) sat watching. It was awful viewing and either Jade or Shilpa should have been called to the DR to stop what was happening.
After that I couldn't help but, want to make everything alright and happily voted for her in the final. Shilpa wasn't my ideal HM but, she showed far more restraint and class than most people ever could in that pressure cooker of a house.
Indeed everything was done early doors to make Jade and her brood seem pleasant, they apparently left out her horrid screaming at an elderly man, which Ken Russel said happened, and then weren't showing the bullying on the main show, but people who were watching it on live feed made them do so. There was also stuff about Jade and Jack doing limericks involving the word P"ki that was left out.
So, no, in every way Shilpa probably was badly edited, because the scummy BB producers were trying to cover their backs. Because they let in someone who'd bullied in every Reality show she'd been in, then pretended surprise she'd done it this time.
It makes you wonder what we've missed with live feed gone over the years..
Oh well.
Well this is the thing isn't it, with Jim Davidson and the like, without live-feed the show becomes utterly pointless, as a reality show.
There was no hiding place for housemates everything was live on e4 or red button,
Since the live feed has gone its just a tv show now where the producers Can fix the show
In a different way they can make anyone look good or bad depending on there edit
A good example of this is the series that jedward was in,
Not once did we see them out of character
It's like it's was in there contract not to show them as they really are
I don't believe so - not her fault if others feel inferior around her.
I'am not as cynical as most on DS re the edit and lack of LF....but I have to admit I never could quite fathom the Jedward edit...because as you say not one second of footage of them " out of character " was shown....unless of course the characture they portray really is them.
Re Shilpa vote....we can argue about the edit and audience manipulation until the cows come home but the one thing on the show which can' never be fixed is the actual number of votes cast for any particular HM.
when she sneered at jade and said "your claim to fame is this" that said everything.jades fame may have been based on reality tv but shilpa lost the right to look down on jade once she had decided to take part in reality tv herself
