He's not part owner, he's the outright owner.
That was my Question.....Is this True.....it's all over FB that he is !!!
She was given the prize, she didn't earn it. Never faced nomination, never faced eviction. Fixed on the first night.
I could accept that she won if I thought it was a genuine result.....Thing is I don't ...I think it was Swayed in her favour from Start to Finish....which included her Pass to the Final and her going into the Secret Room.....>:(
It was the biggest shock result probably ever in all the BBs ever all around the world. I just simply can't believe millions of people would of paid money, actual money to help a bully win the show and a 100 grand. Just makes no sense.
I can't believe millions voted either.
Me neither. Just a very small minority vote on these things.
Yup.:(
I didn't have a favourite. But there is a bad smell to this one.
Northern and Shell owns a talent agency called Outside Organisation that Helen, Winston, Steven and Kim are claimed to have been signed in

Agreed.
However, the reason Helen was able to win is because the production gave her advantage over advantage for weeks on end, starting with immunity from eviction and including repeated access to the private conversations of others, chiefly Ashleigh (and there are lingering questions as to how free a choice Pauline was given in selecting a HM for the Final Pass).
Even in this final week when it looked like Ashleigh was going to walk away with the prize, the production went out of its way to construct more Helen-centric narrative and solidify her 'redemptive journey'. Looked at in the whole it certainly does feel as though Big Brother have moved heaven and earth to ensure that Helen was in the final and was a credible challenger for one of the top 2 spots.
This is the sort of thing that can sway peoples votes, even if there is no suspicious betting activity going on with 'syndicates' voting heavily to ensure a particular result.
Couple this with the knowledge that she was invited to appear on the show, and that she may have already signed magazine deals with Northern & Shell before going into the house and you do begin to wonder whether the entire series has been a set-up?
So what if he is, he is entitled to vote for who he wants, oh dear all the conspiracy threads, its getting silly now.:o:o
You need to go to "Specsavers" .....BB fixed this result without a doubt!!
She has, she appeared in tv advertisements for one of his magazine publications while BB was running.
