I was incredulous that you wouldn't concede that winning is better than taking part but if that's what you believe then wonderful. Carry on.
My position hasn't changed btw, I think the producers have had a massive part in manipulating this series for Stephen's advantage. I also believe it is something that was planned out weeks in advance. I still think they had an overall story arc for him but it seems they weren't intelligent enough to pull off the redemption arc or maybe even think of it.
Animosity and drama seems to be all they're interested in.
I'm not sure why I expect more from them. Because if that is really all it is, no clever storyline/arc/redemption then it's even worse than I thought.”
The BB history book is littered with HMs who took part in BB but did not win who have been much more successful than the winners off the back of the show. People like Nikki, Victor, Jade Goody, Alison Hammond, John Tickle, Imogen, Aisleyne...
None of them winners, all of them just took part.
