Rylan Clark-Neal denies Christopher Biggins's Celebrity Big Brother "fix" claims and makes him look a bit silly
​Phillip Schofield sticks the boot in too


Thing is this looks to be arguing a different point. the accusation for some is the show was fixed... Rylan & Philip answered a different accusation although mentioned the edit as more of a deflection... that emphasis was on the "show is fixed" means "the vote is fixed" and oh the edit is just well, not part of "a fix" because "the vote" was "not fixed" (ie the show is only measured by the vote being a fix forget the edit claims)...

no the vote wasnt fixed, but the sheep were pointed where to vote by the edit... it is not quite the same and Rylan did not address that - he doth protest too much, methinks

I don't think CBB was "a fix" - I think it is a structured show (as it always has been) but this year the reality tv cast overwhelmed the other celebs in being able to ad-hoc soundbites and tv moments... which the producers easily made a show from rather than have to go with what was produced by the tasks and housemate mix which normally structures the show into going where it was expected to)

I can't remember... didn't BB replace it's producer for someone who had a background in towie type structured reality shows after all?

I don't know if the show is fixed, I just know it's an awful, trashy little show that sold it's soul to the devil a long time ago, why wasn't this put to Rylan ?

I really wish he'd shut his gob and disappear.

He clearly wants Emma's job, and should she leave (she really should) his idiot bosses will no doubt hand it to him on a sparkling platter. That will really will be the end for the show.

What are Emma's thoughts I wonder? She's obviously bored of talking about the programme she presents nowadays, and most probably outraged by the whole thing and a certain other issue too. The BB age of 2016 clearly doesn't sit right with her and it shows.

Why is Rylan the ever-present spokesperson for the show? . I would like to hear an actual producer's take on things if I'm honest, but I expect that they are too ashamed to make themselves known or appear on television like their puppets.

Rylan's everywhere, like a bad rash. I didn't mind him to begin with but he irritates me no end now. Go away.

I've always said ,Just as BB have a list of the order the H/Ms go in ,they also have a List of the order they go out ,and do everything in their power i.e the edit to make sure it happens that way ......

And why is Xtra Factor basically BOTS on itv now? Both hideous shows with his best friends and a moronic audience always in tow.

Where did Biggins claim the voting stats were fixed?

The claimed "fix" was Biggins being removed over something trivial to give the young ones an easier path to victory. Nothing to do with telephone voting.

Rylan playing dumb and This Morning lacheys licking his bum and agreeing with every word, as usual. Why are these people so scared to challenge Rylan? I guess when you know lots of secrets about people and their behaviours they tend to be much more agreeable. I'd be mildly terrified if I thought Rylan was out for my job.

"At the end of the day it's the public picking up the phone and voting".

That'll be why Lateysha didn't win BB17 then.

I didn't like the Bear love-fest, but I don't think his win was a fix.

I guess it all boils down to what constitutes a fix. There is no denying Bear survived numerous warnings which might well have evicted a HM in the past. There is no denying that 80% of the edit was structured around him and there is no denying the HMs up for eviction each week showed no consistent criteria.

While I have no doubt that he received the majority of votes that doesn't mean his path wasn't the subject of a degree of manipulation.

Oh I agree - he had a lot of help from the producers no doubt.

I attended a BOTS taping in the first c5 cbbuk series. I actually came all the way from Canada to be there, which suprised the staffers (they remarked the show wasn't that good to be worthy of flying there &#128513 I was talking to one of the PA's about previous series and how I like that season but surprised how Ulrika won. He stated "well they say the show maybe fixed" or something to that effect as its been a few years now (I did post on the forum about it at the time) and gave me a big smile and a wink - and definitely left the impression he wasn't joking. I've nevef looked at BB or CBB the same way again.

Rylan should love Bear, he was editing in a similar manner when he won his season.

Biggins certainly has a point about the game being fixed. Not by the vote but by production showing and hiding stuff to favour their cross promotion with Ex on the Beach.

With Biggins he was thrown out for his opinions on bisexuals and a joke that went wrong that was never aired. He never got an interview or any time on BOTS to explain himself. Bear on the other hand we know has had countless warnings for bullying, destroying property and his aggressive behaviour towards the other HM's. Sam in an interview with Emma told of an incident that caused her to wear an eye patch and also Rene has come out since leaving the house with claims that Bear kicked Frankie in the balls.

Biggin's is right for thinking the show was fixed for a younger reality star who C5 wanted to win! He was thrown under the bus because he had a good chance of winning the show.

biggins should have kept saying "it's my truth" rather than a general fact like the americans tend to disclaim everything... then he would have still been there.
of course he wouldnt have got any airtime as only bear was given that

Whatever they showed, the vote was down to the viewing public.

They showed Bear behaving like an annoying WUM for the entire time - he was hated by the vast majority on here for a start. How could they possibly have known which way the public would vote on a HM who divided opinion so much? There was practically nothing in it between Ricky and Bear. If they wanted a particular winner, they could have done WAY more with the edit to help their chosen one along the way. As it was, they showed the main action which happened each day - which most of the time happened to involve Bear.

Were you one of the 'sheep' who voted for Bear?

Are we talking about Big Brother or This Morning? TBH, you could be talking about any show that Rylan's involved with.

Rylan is a "company guy" he understand the "game" he is not going to blow that up. and This Morning is the same side of the coin in the world of Big Brother and Reality TV so you cannot expect them to answer directly or honestly about accusations about Big Brother.

Biggins is a big boy and no doubt has experienced agents, he knows how it all works and only has his self to blame. Sponsers (or potential) of the show are more likely to have a problem with Biggins comments than the actions of Bear in the house (which is stupid in many ways but thats how it is...). I think both Biggins and his agent knows how BB is like lately and was just happy to collect the cash and turn up but Biggins could not keep his trap shut. Just another aging celeb who no longer knows when to shut up and then complains about "PC gone mad" when **** hits the fan.

BB, this morning is a show I have never watched, and now that Rylan is part of it I will avoid it like the plague
