Surely the end of the conspiracy theories

Well that's two years in a row where a female has won. Surely that must put paid to the anti-female bias conspiracy theories. Of will it?

1. A bias theory isn't a conspiracy theory.

2. Who wins isn't the only thing to consider. For example, very tear, including this one, the first HM voted out was a woman, and this year had only one woman in the final (while most other years had more).

Chloe may have won...but for the last 4 weeks she was the only female left from those who walked in on launch night.

She wasn't the only female in the house though. And so what anyway - she won. Surely that's the ultimate goal and for two years running a female has won Last year the runner up was a female too. What difference does it make which sex is voted out first? Assuming the numbers are equal it's a 50/50 chance.

The general voting public does not decide the winner...money does. If it was one vote per person the recent BB results would be completely different.

I suggest that anyone seriously considering the issue of gender bias in this show would find the fact I stated extremely relevant.

Put another way, 6 of the first 7 voted out (or 7 of the first 8 if you count the twins as 2) were female.

Sixteen years of Big Brother, sixteen times the first evicted housemate has been female.

But yeah, there's no sexism AT ALL in British society...

Chloe won by looking no-threatening and being completely asexual.

More like a rich family/boyfriend who put 3000 on her to win at 10/1 and stood to win 150,000 which includes the prize money. £10.000 or more in votes secures an easy win.

The general public will never decide the winner while multi-votes exists.

I totally agree with you on this. I've always thought it should be one vote per person.

My post yesterday stated why Chloe had it in the bag and it bloody annoys me...but I let my head over rule my heart and had a good bet on Chloe and won a nice amount.

After seeing photographs of Rolex watches etc I felt sure there was going to be serious money spent on phone votes and I believe I was correct. It is thinking outside the box.

Of course I'm not saying there's no sexism in British Society. I'm talking about a reality tv show.

thats as likely as some in this forum not willingly dance along with any old fantasists playground invention

this year we had the same old names..

ridiculously claiming "cashbomb was because they ran out of money rushing in all the legends"

claiming "crisis talks" and "last minute fixes" when it's more than clear it all ran to the pre-launch rumours.


they like to re-imagine the past, invent the future and have a good giggle in their own little bubble of b/s and that will never end... just as this, last and every series for the last 5 years was "the last i am ever watching"

Have to say I'm guilty of that lol. Every year I say I'm not going to watch and every year I get sucked in and I'm fairly sure it will be the same next year. Guess I'm just an addict

There is no way to implement this though, unless they have a way of stopping multiple voting. I don't think they would use it though, as they'd lose money, from the saddo's who vote 50 times.

Well you could say it's sexism or you could say 16/16 is a fairly large pool of data to confirm that women tend to be more nutty and annoying than men (initially!)

The thing is it's very difficult to really get an idea of what the hm are like before the first eviction. I know it's very rare for the person that I like when they first go in to be the person I like on finals night. You might have a point that the women are more annoying initially. Personally, I had never given it a thought what sex the first evictees were until all these threads about bias against females cropped up on here. In the old days when I voted I voted the one I liked least out regardless of their gender and I honestly believe most (if not all) voters did the same.

How often have we not had any choice, other than a woman, for the first eviction?

We only seem to manage to get any men out first with celeb BB.

So if there is an anti-female bias on BB does it not apply to CBB?

I don't know.

The only two that I can remember are Chris Eubanks and Andrew Stone, both very odd characters.

I do wonder what would have happened if Simon had stayed and been one of the first nominees. We could have had our first civilian male first evictee.

God that man is a nightmare. He's even worse out of the house than he was in it. He doesn't seem to have any sense of embarrassment!
