Goodness knows how much of this and to what extent this was all concocted between Chloe, Bear and this other EOTB person Lillie (and their reality TV people) beforehand but I don't believe for one minute what we're seeing is not just contrived cross promotional BS. Reality TV my tush.
Clever move from ch5/MTV.”
It's so blatant, channel 5 don't even bother to hide it now. I used to defend the accusations of a fix, believing at worst it was heavily manipulated, but now do believe it is fixed. If any housemate outside of the reality mob had been as aggressive as Lewis they would have been removed. They are advertising Bear's show during the highlights, I mean how obvious can they get. I fully expect the three reality bores to be in the final, if the fans don't vote for them the agents will.
We don't know what the voting figures are, and they don't have to prove where the calls are coming from, I imagine they are keeping just on the right side of legal, but agents can afford to pay for people to keep their chosen ones numbers on redial, we wouldn't know, we don't know how many of the eviction mob are genuine fans.
I expect the others know they are just there to make up the numbers, no wonder they look so fed up, and just waiting to collect their cheques. Davina and Brian are probably pleased now not to be a part of it.
