Another decision to suit Helen's needs. This must be the most manipulated series to date.

It's crazy comparing this series to the likes of this,

http://youtu.be/sqHGQmH76iU

they really don't like ashleigh, this isn't the first time they have stitched her up, probably coz she doesn't get really drunk and shag in the house

It's more like they are counting on the public to be outraged and save her. Votes are cash in the bank. Rampant BB manipulation.

Is it VTS or VTE on this eviction?

She really was stitched up, I thought having the power would save her and then they through it back at her, it's not like she chose to have the power.

This is basically punishing her for being a fan favourite. She won't go, but it's just the principle...

Exactly. They want the Ashleigh fans and the Ashleigh haters voting this week.

If Ashleigh survives, her "Big Brother story" gets longer and more interesting, and her status as a fan favourite will actually rise.

Ashleigh fans should not be complacent, and Big Brother producers are hoping they won't be.

I thought BB said that Ashleigh was immune.........but thinking about it, it is a good thing she is up ......... the HMs would not suspect her, and she is against Steven and has more chance of staying.......

HELP!! What happened? I left the room for a few minutes thinking Ash and Steven were up, and now it seems to be Ashleigh, Pav, Zoe and Steven. I don't understand. How can the power housemate be up, and why isn't Ash up any longer?

So, not only have BB betrayed her by broadcasting a confidential conversation in the diary room to other HMs, they have now blatantly lied to her via 'Iris'.
They are totally picking on her.

Did anybody vote in the poll?

And did they say this would happen? I know it's a free vote but it appears BB have lied to the viewers again.

The alliance chose Zoe as the 4th nominee, and then the nominees had to choose to save one of themselves (Ash and Steven basically took it upon themselves to save Ash, no mention of Pav or Zoe) and replace themselves with one of the power housemates, Steven basically said Ashleigh after like 10 seconds of faux deliberation with the others!

The fourth HM nommed by the Power Alliance was Zoe

Then the Power Alliance was revealed to the House

Then the 4 nominees were asked to choose which one of them should be saved and which member of the Alliance should replace them

They saved Ash and replaced him with Ashleigh

The worse Big Brother treat a housemate, the better the public likes that housemate.

Big Brother know this, it's called reverse psychology. They are creating a popular rival to Helen that makes for a dramatic show.

they obviously couldn't wait any longer for an argument and knew it would get helen arguing with ashleigh again and i'm sure bb will just let helen get as intimidating as possible

They've stitched up Chris as well

It looks like this is exactly whats going to happen. Helen already making nasty remarks about her when she stood up to be named as PH.

Ash nearly crying as always when he's up and Steven pretending to take a bullet and not be saved when you know he was dying for someone to say him.

Only a small fraction of the so-called public even knew there was a poll.

That's more like it. Ashleigh's minions will be manning the phones 24/7, she isn't going anywhere. No-one is going against Steven.

How would they know that ash woukd be chosen to be saved by the other hms?I thought They would save Zoe

Very true

OMG Thanks guys. This show is an absolute mess isn't it? They are making it up as they go along, and are determined to keep Ash in there as Queen Helen's playmate.
They said Ashleigh was immune, and now she's up anyway.

Tbh I would rather they had done normal nominations. It would have probably come to the same thing, but this way they were able to save Ash again. Pathetic.

Helens power.

I think Ashleigh knew all along the would be a price to pay, we certainly did.

Yes....she'd already started her jibes as Ashleigh stood up. Hope Mark steps up to defend her when Helen kicks off again.

I agree. I'm pretty sure Ashleigh contemplated a twist. BB has been consistently tricky with the PHMs.

I would like to think it was a chess move putting up Steven and Ash as even if one save was available the other would be up. The group would also be likely to save one of these two against newer HMs.

The only ones of the four the alliance put up to give her a run for her money on eviction night would be Zoe and very possibly Ash going on previous form. She gave herself the best chance of surviving with the current line up.
