Look, people pay money to vote for this silly competition. It's not that hard to try and keep things impartial. Week after week they show clear bias - usually anti-Jim, but previous series have had their clear biases too - and tonight's was the worst I've ever seen. There are several threads about it already, but what can we do? Just not watch? It's not fair that BB cannot produce a fair show that analyses the events and instead just turns everything into 'you couldn't make it up/they're not even pretending any more' hatefest against one HM - one who is actually very popular as the crowd proved - and were promptly, obviously, silenced.
It has the opposite effect and strengthens in this case Jim's support, but it shouldn't work that way. And bias apart, it's just shoddy, everything is chucked together and why bother having guests that are relatives of the HMs, we know what they are going to say, and usually they aren't 'good at telly' either.
Maybe this is going too far, but as people are paying money to vote, don't they have a duty to try and be impartial - so OFCOM? Complain to Channel 5? I am enjoying this series, don't like the lack of live feed, and we are forced to speculate that someone is getting a bad/good edit, as they may be. But the utterly obvious bias if BBBOTS cannot be excused, and I reckon fairness aside, Ch5 are getting a fraction of the viewers they could get if they replaced it with something decent.

If the animosity between Linda, Luisa & himself were to end tomorrow, he would lose a lot of these votes.
BBOTS alleged agenda is only antagonizing his supporters even more, which leads to them voting for him more, which gives him an even better chance of winning.
If you want Jim to win, then the more it carries on the better.
Yes, I agree. It's definitely backfiring. As much as it sticks in my throat - it's having the reverse effect.
''No Comment from above will be read out on BBBOTS as its the same old people on the show. All I ever get told is they are fully booked''
So we get that dumb rentamob, same old faces, but they are turning people away saying its fully booked? Why on earth are the same people somehow at the front of the queue time and time again?
Appear in the audience, I would give honest opinions taken from these boards, I wouldn't be biased, like I say I judge on the show, not the past.
OFCOM, really? Even by BB standards that's a laughable suggestion. What are you going to say? The presenters don't like my favourite housemate so I'm complaining about it? Whether the team are biased or not it doesn't prevent people from voting who they want in any way shape or form.
Thing is we really don't have any recourse.
If you withhold money from voting your fav may get kicked.
You stop watching, you can't see the show, nothing changes and it eventually gets cancelled.
Or we all dress in taupe socks, yellow skinny jeans, aqua marine polo top long sleeves, cherry red pleather jacket, piano key tie, aviator sunglasses that cost no more then £7.19 a burger king crown and fake fur slippers.
Storm the TV studio and hijack the airwaves!
Or we could start a YouTube channel and basically make our own show....
Look, very few celebs like davidson. I don't blame them.There is nothing to like about him,end of .
What does having few celeb mates got to do with it? They have friends of celebs on. And all we are asking for is fair representation for all contestants, although I personally think it doesn't really matter who wins first place, I rate winners on how they entertained me.
How do you know who likes who? He founded the British Forces Foundation and is the Vice President. Many of the top entertainers, paralympic champions and others support it by giving their time to the charity, including Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry. He also has no trouble getting artists to perform in the numerous plays and pantomines that he has written and produced. No doubt there are many who will not openly admit to liking him, but not all.
You posted in it...
Unreal arnt they
Starts off by calling it a silly show then says lets get Ofcom involved.
You obviously know nothing about show business. Actors, comedians etc etc are in constant competition to get work. They hate others who are doing well. As we saw with Lionel, they're all happy chappies on the surface, but it's not so nice underneath. That is why CBB is so successful. The ego's kick in and they're off.
Well, our own show would certainly be more interesting and probably less biased.
I cannot bear Rylan so have given up watching BBBOTS. Since C5 has taken over - and NO live feed - the show has been edited with a bias and BBBOTS - well, it is terrible imo.
Emma said, "Ooh they're all shouting names as usual, can't hear them." I could hear them clearly say Jim.
I think the telling thing is there are celebs in the house -- even his best girl Casey who don't want him in there.
I thought the comments etc were pretty well spot on.
Everyone takes BOTS far too seriously. Honestly, lighten up. It's not award winning and hard hitting journalism - it's a panel show that brings the panel on to discuss what's going on.
How do you know few celebs like Jim? In your opinion (which is fine) there is nothing to like about him but for plenty of others there is ...otherwise why is he still in there?
celebs are probably scared to support him because people keep bringing up his past.
fgs, even murderers get a second chance sometimes
