Why would Big Brother fix the show and risk getting caught and cause huge controversy? It makes no differance to the show producers who wins, so why are people always claiming it's a "fix" when things dont go the way they like? Seriously some people really need to get a grip on reality, its a TV show, these people mean nothing to you and they dont even know of your existance, yet people on here get extremley offended when someone slags off a HM they like ? :rolleyes:

    Well it kinda is. Why exactly wasn't Adam not allowed to take part? They made up some stupid rule about the people with the lowest nominations that week, but they knew the nominations since last Friday lmao. They had plenty of time to decide on how to make it only Conor, Luke S, Sara and Scott.

    It's not a 'fix', but it is engineered.

    1. Only allow 4 HMs to potentially be in; not even based on actual housemate nominations but effectively biased viewers in the family and friends.
    2. Know that 2 of these eligible HMs are noncompetitive and will bail (Scott, Sara)
    3. Which narrows the potential win to 2 HMs, Conor and Luke S.
    4. Provide a win-win scenario to both HMs: 50k and leave or a ticket to the final. Wow, what a hard choice.
    5. Cut HALF of the prize fund without any public involvement.
    6. Don't even test them that much to determine who wins. Cutting onions? Lolz.

    I have just watched a guy lay around a flat and been a nasty sh@t to people for 2 months..

    and never had to re-evaluate or think about his actions...

    and hes about to be presented with 50k for winning a popularity contest when he is one of the least popular in there,,.

    In fact this will just reaffirm his ego,attitude and his actions...

    It stinks and will kill Big Brother cold dead!...I have no idea how it will recover...maybe they will try and backtrack but its lost all integrity..

    Of course people are going to say it is a fix. BB have chosen two of the least popular housemates and decided to give them half the prize money: no task to win, no housemate vote, and CERTAINLY no public vote of any kind. Just - yes, Luke S and Conor - let's give them half the money, since obviously they could not get it if we didn't.

    i don't know why they even call the White Room a task at all: there has been nothing to win in there. Even if Sara had not cracked and asked to go, she would still be out. Luke and Conor would clearly have voted her out since they had done nothing but say how much they wanted both of them to be in the final. And the same would apply if Scott had been there instead. So by FAR the biggest reward of BB so far has been given to two people just chosen by the producers, with not even a pretence that there is any other factor in it.

    Every single step of the way..BB has influenced 'things' in the house...from calling out certain housemates over behaviour and giving them warnings..letting Conor get away with his vile rant... he should have been arrested in m.o. ..to letting them view what Adam had to say about the Insiders...at their request..D.room..he had no idea they were watching.which changed the whole way they viewed Adam and then the outsiders... letting family vote ????? what is that all about? to closing voting on Facebook....? OK..and Emma's behavoiur on BBots..she did say a few nights ago that Deana was going on Friday? the mind boggles?

    Surely what they've done is suspect enough that there's no need to exaggerate it.

    The fewest nominations that week is obviously at least a pretence as a factor.

    As a task, it was in part this week's shopping task, and it was also an endurance task.

    And the idea that it's all been done to give Conor or Luke S some money makes little sense. What could the motive be?

    That's one of the main problems with all the conspiracy theories. Why would BB want to do it? Why (in this case) would BB care so much about giving them some of the prize money?

    Why do it then? They can't justify it one tiny bit..

    Exactly. I don't think it's a fix. Just a really stupid production idea that not very many people will be happy with.
