Seems clear to me that Gary was the planned winner. They never even tried to give any of the other housemates a storyline or a reason for anyone to vote for them. Seems very similar to the last celebrity series- add one contentious housemate , a few people who are likely to get really wound up by them and add some also rans who will never be given any airtime.
If some other randomer wins, it won't be because of the producers!”
Unless it's Dee or George.
Dee is the more likely. BB seems to love a "redemption" story these days (Jim, Helen -- Dee would make it a hat trick).
Gary, on the other hand, seems to be someone they use for entertainment value but also help build up negative perceptions of that HM so they don't win.
If Gary wins, then imo it won't be because BB wanted him to, but as an unintended consequence of his entertainment value.
