So it was best all the way we far as the producers were concerned.

If course it's fixed. When they allow people to get away with dreadful behaviour and keep them there at all costs while throwing out somebody like Biggins for just having opinions, it is all wrong. Perez Hilton and Helen wood were also producers chosen ones to be kept for the whole run and they also ruined their series.

It's taken a long time for some if us to see it. Probably because it's so disappointing but bb is nothing more than a manipulated, rehearsed shadow of its former self. It should never have been put into the hands of those who don't care.”

I firmly believe that they don't care who actually wins, they just want a good show full of drama and conflict until the end. I don't know why Biggins thinks they wanted certain HMs to win - I can understand that line of thinking when they are in the house, when they are in the dark and get drawn into the game, and I can understand when he got out and watched the show that he thought Bear was favoured - but not Marnie because for whatever reason, she was featured very little, whether it was after Lewis left or during their time together.

Anyone who gets involved in drama and conflict will always make it onto the HL show.
If HMs like Perez, Helen and Bear are involved in conflict and it doesn't make it onto the HL show, then that could be described as manipulation. I don't believe in 'chosen ones' because these HMs are always the same ones who are involved in the most drama, the biggest characters, so they would always be heavily featured in any case.

These reality nobodies have all fallen off the same production line, however, there's more personality in a shop mannequin than any of them put together - such fake, bland, boring people who usually rely upon some desperate act to get them noticed. Hey, they can't all be Joey Essex and pretend to be thick as pigshit to carve out a career .. I do think that Marnie was purposely given more airtime, but, they may as well have dubbed the tweeting birds and aeroplanes over her footage for all she brought to the table. I'm not even going to start on Stephen, it was clear-cut, that so much is obvious.”

Oh no that is not true at all. I think we are all in agreement that Bear got the lion's share of the airtime (and then some) and HMs who were at odds with him were next down the list. This was mainly Renee, but other HMs too at various points, but pretty much never Marnie. The remaining HMs (Marnie included) were featured very little.

Ah, I suppose I'm going by what I HAVE seen, and, as I've already stated, I didn't see the entire series to justify those comments. I really did think that Marnie was as prominent as Bear, obviously not! Whenever I did tune in, it was wall-to-wall Bear, complete overkill and as a viewer, I personally couldn't stand him! He made the tiniest bit of content extremely difficult to watch.

I don't think Biggins was a Plan B either, it was obvious that producers had an agenda to fullfil, to cross-promote the upcoming Ex on the Beach, featuring their golden boy himself. Bear is just vile, and I'm not a fan at all, but he's on another level compared to his predecessors who have also featured in the show. That creature Charlotte Crosby only won because she had the backing from producers, as did Scotty T, but at least he was nice and we actually got to see the real person outside of GS shenanigans. Thank goodness that other creature Megan McKenna wasn't the series favourite, and her pathetic attempt to mimic Nikki Grahame failed. Awful, repulsive young woman and Charlotte's horrific also. Who knows who producers have guaranteed a win to next ..

The thing that really shocks me about that site, though, is how deep and prevalent the resentment of transpeople is. In any one thread, 90% of comments will be transphobic.”

I'm one of the "eldergays" from DL.

I've been reading and posting there since they opened in 1996, and I really hate the way the site has changed. The transphobia and biphobia are sickening.

Please understand that not everybody there feels this way—pretty much everybody agrees that it's Milo Y and/or his minions stirring shit.

Let's not forget the edit, he wasn't the only contestant to barely feature in the highlight shows. He has also been completely erased from the series as if he never entered the house. This is what annoys me with all this PC nonsense! Producers were very quick to boot Biggins out of the back door, but allow Bear to remain and cause complete havoc, with existing housemates feeling vulnerable and threatened. It stinks. He is clearly hacked off at his unfair and imo over-the-top treatment and I don't blame him. Producers used him to their full advantage. I say good on him for piping up and anything he says that could further sink this show should be said. Ricky Norwood has shared some thoughts, and I think Sam Fox and James Whale should too, they've had their fees and to hell with the supposed confidentiality clause.”

PC nonsense? In terms of him being removed?

No way - by FAR, the biggest bit of 'PC nonsense' was Biggins doing his sackcloth and ashes bullshit and said he's going to go to Auschwitz with his partner.

What an absolute steaming pile of shite.

I cannot bear gushing insincerity in any way, shape or form.

I have zero respect for the bloke.

It's like sending Jade Goody to India after the race row.

Whoever the PR is who dreams up these farcical stunts, needs to be given their P45 and some sarnies wrapped in a road map.

WTF is this nonsense anyway?

Whatever happened to taking responsibility for what you said or did, sticking your hands up and saying 'I'm really sorry, it was beyond stupid and IDK what I was thinking?'

This is just crap..... damage limitation by the Biggins camp.

Agree that the show has an agenda and is skewed towards the younger contestants but why would that get rid of a highly popular (don't understand the Biggins love but plenty of people did) in the first few weeks. It just doesn't make sense. They want popular people to stay in as long as possible so their fans watch and to get them up for nomination if they can engineer it because that increases the shows voting revenue. If they are not the chosen one they can always be thrown under a train the the last 2 weeks with bad edits or limited coverage..... we've all seen it happen many times before. If Biggins had been thrown out in the last 2 weeks because of his comments I might have agreed with him but he wasn't. He made a series of contentious, uneducated and inflammatory comments in the early stages of the show. As a regulated broadcast the producers had no option but to ditch a loose cannon who was in danger of getting them in real trouble with OFCOM with what he might say next.

Sour grapes I think.

It was a lot of PC nonsense they didn't air his insensitive joke and rightfully so and was probably warned. But his views on bisexuals not choosing a team are his views and should be allowed to have them. I didn't think that warranted him being thrown out to please the PC community. Bear has done far worse in my opinion.

The going to Auschwitz with his partner I agree is a lot of BS and this is obviously a gimmick. I don't think it is going to have the desired affect to make piece with the Jewish community for a joke that never aired just bring more attention to it.
