This ^^.
The house with just Boring Bobby, Comotose Chris, Stupid Sheree, Natasha Nobody , Gail of Tears, the Twonk Slurpy Twins and Eye Candy James would be a snooze fest . for real though, you could combine Chris, Sherrie, Gail and Natasha into one person and they wouldn't be any more interesting, they'd just be a reticent middle aged crying mess. |

With 2 Americans down already, it's entirely to be expected given the theme of the show.
It mugs off the voters but they should know better. |

From my knowledge, the prizes are different each time. Next week it could be that the winners are on luxury and the losers are on basic. They will try and change it up everytime someone wins.

No it isn't fair. It's not like the Brits had anything close to this kind of power. It's just a blatant fix to keep one of Farrah, Jenna or Janice.
No, no power at all. I think it's not a fair thing to do, but there's nothing fair in this game. And look at it this way, the manipulation is just going to foment the public's hatred of all things American. And isn't that the point of this whole exercise? |

Exactly, I haven't voted since BB13. Which is why they can manipulate the show and I just shrug because I'm not stupid enough to waste my money anymore. Just don't vote and then you will enjoy it more.

It mugs off the voters but they should know better. One thing that makes it ever so slightly suspicious is that we weren't told the winning team would have this reward before the task took place. It may be cynical of me to say so but I have a feeling that if the Brits had won they wouldn't be receiving this treat. |

In terms of keeping interest, it's not surprising. The ratings are not great at the moment but they'd be horrific if we happen to lose all the Americans and we are left with basically what CBB11 would have been without Speidi. Which by the way would be "oh we are best friends, aw, I love you, you are great", and NO fun. The CBB11 lot were awful to watch even when they were trying to have fun.

I don't vote anymore and i'm not enjoying it anymore. Even if you don't vote it's hard to enjoy a show that is blatantly fixed.

Just pretend the show is a soap and not a reality show.
Suddenly all these producer manipulations make sense

Do you want me to call the police on whoever it is that has kidnapped you, tied you to a chair, and is forcing you to watch it?

Suddenly all these producer manipulations make sense ![]() It's the case in any BB across the world, everyone has twists weekly, immunities, and Italian BB even had series where Big Brother decided who to make immune (no reason, they just wanted to save certain people). American BB came up with two HOH this year and more twists. I'm a Celebrity always has immunities too. The only shows who have to have the old voting method are talent shows because it's about talent so they can't make people immune in them. It will NEVER be as it was. Times have changed, the people who watch it have changed, the viewers in 2015 are quite possibly 99% new viewers, so for all we know 1% of the people who watched BB1 are still watching now. The viewers are younger, more technological and don't like "simple" in terms of shows. I see BB nowadays as a gameshow and an entertainment show, not a "fly on the wall" reality. That hardly works, 10000bc flopped a little as that was the closest "fly on the wall" you can get. If anyone is waiting for it to go back to as it was, you may as well switch off now because it won't happen. And if some people really dislike the show, then I really think they should just not watch it anymore. Maybe it's just not your thing anymore. |

Advising people to switch off isn't a good idea, they can't afford to lose anymore viewers.

It's a great move - the bores are on the Brit side let's be honest about that - we don't have to like farrah Jenna janice etc but they are why we are tuning in these nights to see who they are laying into

James Jordan would have been great this series, as he would be the only British HM who would have equalled the US hms in terms of loudness and argumentativeness.
So far, it's only James that has done anything of interest on Team UK which is the reason he is both topping the polls and favourite to win; because everyone else is either boring or right pain in the arses. |

No, they just had the upperhand all week. Getting all the advantages like parties, treats, etc. Got to be waited upon, fancy bedroom, gentle wakings. Not to mention the entire voting public being automatically on their side. Announcers, panel guests, etc, all on their side. Playing the British national anthem continually on the show as it goes in and out of ad breaks.

It would only be fair if the Brits had had exactly the same power when they were in charge
The Brits get a frickin' tea party. Total bollocks. |

That's their problem. I'm just so weary of all the people who act like they're forced to watch the show, when it's just so unbearable for them. Grow a backbone. Turn it off.

Knew they would come up with something to keep Farrah in past Tuesday, not that she was in danger anyway but the bases had to be covered just in case
Perhaps this will give the UK housemates a much needed kick up the rear end as they are NOT earning their money right now Not a fan of Farrah's but at least she and the Americans have given us things to talk about even if they are for the wrong reasons, and who and what would we talk about if most of these USA housemates were not there Bobby's bad jokes? Sherrie just sitting there looking gormless? Gail making toast? Natasha talking behind peoples backs? And correct me if I'm wrong didn't the Americans just have to wait hand and foot on the UK housemates in the shopping task? |
