Bit shitty i agree, but BB has been the same all series so there's nothing new here and people shouldnt get too upset about it really...its a gameshow.

Positives to take from it as an Ashleigh fan is how well she handled the power and how well she accepted it when the tables were turned. (She will have a little moan later but so what).

Whats really bothered me this series is the way in which the producers have repeatedly taken the vote away from the public.

Helen has also been a bit protected as well, with basically a cruise to the final and no dirt dished on her whatsoever (suspicious)... but it doesn't matter as she will be voted out as soon as she's up in any case.

Toya is kind of right about the 'Big Helen' thing. Big Brother said nobody was safe, yet told Ashleigh she was immune. Fair play that maybe she wasn't safe but then neither should Helen have been safe.

They were happy enough to let Jale have a week off, maybe Helen should have lost her immunity this week
Totally agree

Yup, very bitter individuals, they would be quite happy if it helped them or their friends.

Just forgettable housemates.

Nobody will remember them, but everyone will remember Helen, and Steven.
Pah, who wants to be remembered for being a bully and a controlling douchebag?

Woah, so it seems Toya, Matthew and Tamara are not happy at all, Emma is a little annoyed and Rylan wasn't told about the last min twist. They really are not making any friends, are they?

I am still dumbstruck that Ashleigh is up. Everything about it is wrong. Thankfully, at least Steven is up.
BB are always saying "Who goes? You decide." In this case it's just the opposite. The public (at least, those with the app and who noticed that there was a vote of sorts) voted Ashleigh as power HM. This obviously meant they preferred her over anyone else. Yet on BB's whim, she herself is now up for eviction. So it's BB and not the public that decides. Whoever wins this year will not be the viewers' choice.

The 3 with the power were targeting people from "the cool kids" group so it was only fair that it backfired on them so that people from the "uncool kids" were up too. It was the most fair thing BB has done.
But the public who voted chose Ashleigh as power HM precisely because they knew she would target the cool kids. So how can it be fair for BB to rearrange things to save the very people the public knew Ashleigh would target?

They're right though, Helen has been protected week after week and anyone that goes against her seems to get the worst of the twists. If Ashleigh is told she is immune why is her immunity different to Helen's. Ashleigh didn't ask to be the power housemate, the public chose her because they wanted her to be able to have a say in who went up, not so that big brother could turn it on her. She's been completely stitched up, as was Toya the week she was power housemate.
Exactly. The public's preferences count for nothing this year. We shall end up with a winner that nobody wants

This is a joke. Why don't BB skip the next 3 weeks and give it to Helen now. As I posted a few weeks ago, who goes - BB decide (everything)
That's probably what many of the viewers will do. I've lost all interest now that there are no rules, only twists.

Yes, not very satisfying to be in the final when the position hasn't been earned.Still, it could have happened to any of them. The public chose Pauline as the first PHM and she chose Helen for immunity to the final before she had any chance to get to know her. Had the public chosen a different PHM in the first week, a different person might well have had the ticket to the final.

Well, they're really milking their 15 mins aren't they?
For someone so apparently above everyone else to not get on with his life and Ghettoya who has a supposed career they sure have a lot of time for BB tweets.
No, the public doesn't like phonies like that ghetto bitch pretending she's Dr. Funke or that closet queen and all the talk about his 'girlfriend' which he even says with the same disdain as he says 'skidmarks'.
If it was any of the others instead of their 'friend' who is a receiver of the twist, they'd be fine with it.

People realize this is Big Brother right?

The entire concept is based on manipulation and corruption not fairness.

so if contestants on a game show exercise their free will the producers of the show are entitled to 'punish' them for doing exactly what they were asked to do? are the producers there to protect the interests of the 'cool group'?

i know BB can do anything it wants but it's a step too far to give housemates decisions to make and then reversing those decisions to manipulate results.

Helen's immunity lives on. Bully girl wins every time it seems. No exposure of her past life of course, no exposure of negative articles written about her of pictures, but Danielle has everything thrown at her including that smug Dexter on BBBOTS.
Marlon plays the game and is made out to be a villain because he was not a Helen worshipper. Matthew got bad edits and Ash (Helen's "buddy") good ones the week they were both up for eviction to ensure Matthew went. Toya got a hard time as power housemate to ensure she went because the public kind of liked her standing up to Helen. I am glad the ex-housemates are seeing the bigger picture now.
Everything about this series is done to protect Helen.

What I don't understand, is why the 3 ex h/ms gave such poor advice to the 3 ph/ms, and seemed to target Pav as being a creep. Bizarre.

Blimey, I actually agree with something Toya said. Of course Ashleigh was going to pick from the cool kids, she was hardly going to nominate her friends was she? Ash and her dislike each other and always nominate each other. Steven is an obvious choice as was Pav.
