Well look, I understand that a small minority of people think that Conors great, but that minority is either irish and female, or just female!.
That said anyone who trys to defend what Conor said and trys to defend Conors behaviour has lost the plot! I think BB seriously need to take a look at what they have done, and perhaps ensure that they dont do anything like that again!. That said knowing how this show works after watching so many of them, they will probably continue to sabotage the concept of the show, with the aim of adding one more viewer to their ever declining viewing figures! |

However the show has always been about manipulation. Not just manipulating the housemates but also the viewers. In effect BB can do as they like as long as they stay within the law. The only thing that viewers can do in protest is not vote. |

Just what we needed. Another thread started to complain about Connor. How original.

Yes I agree the winning HM should leave with more than the Conman, so I think the best way to address this would be to introduce a task for the final five in which they all play to win the biggest share of a £50K prize. And then the actual winner of BB would walk away with the winners £50K + whatever amount they won in the final task. So no matter who wins they will walk away with more than Conor , so at least justice would be seen to be done. This could work and would right a few wrongs caused by the White room fiasco. |

It was an awful idea to give half of the prize fund that was meant for the 'WINNER' to anyone other than 'THE WINNER', especially in a random task that didn't even give every housemate left in there a chance to take the money!
If the money was an extra sum of money separate from the main prize fund it would have been something but to in effect punish or penalize the eventual winner for absolutely no reason was utterly preposterous and shameful. And the fact that it was Conor, of all people, who was allowed to take the money just rubs salt in an already gaping and festering wound. This whole series of BB has been a total shambles from beginning to (nearly) end. Any other 'gameshow' would have been strung up by OFCOM and the like but the mere inclusion of the ever ridiculous "Big Brother reserves the right to change the rules at any time" loophole clause somehow makes BB and Endemol immune to and exempt from a multitude of rules and laws that everyone else has to abide to rigidly. I used to LOVE the Summer Big Brother marathons passionately but this year i found it uncomfortable to watch at the best of times and ended up switching it off for more of the time than i watched it. The fact that it looks pretty much certain that one of the few decent housemates in there this year will win BB13 is a small but nonetheless worthwhile recompense but still not nearly sweet enough to cover the nasty taste this years show has left in the mouths of the true Big Brother fans. |

I agree that the white room task prize should have been 25k, and that other housemates should have been eligible, the fact that Conor won it is rubbing salt into the wound. As halfacrown said in the outside world he would be dismissed from a job & possibly face criminal charges. I wouldnt blame Deana or her family if they did take legal action, and I would say the same about any other housemate had they been treated that way. So far the only one playing the "race card" is Samptv which speaks volumes about you. Have you really got no female relatives that you would be upset about if they were treated that way? Your response to jtm45 post suggest that you have a problem with strong women (you & Conor cut from the same cloth perhaps)
Deana may not be the nicest housemate but she didnt deserve those threats, (none of the housemates did) Samptv your hatres of Deana is bordering on the obssessive, but perhaps we will just have to be adults and agree to disagree on the way she has been treated. |

whatever, conor won the 50k fair and square, not much we can do about it now. he lived at his parents and the personal trainer thing wasn't paying to much? great, the 50k he won by producers choice mean that deana suing him might result in actual pay off for her. i'm glad he wants to waste the money on a wedding, a holiday for his family and **** like that, worst thing for deana supporters would have been if he tries to gamble with that money, at least a big chunk of that money will still be there when she leaves the house. the way things have played out, i can actually root for either luke a. or adam to win and deana still might get some money out of all this.

Although I dislike the fact that the prize money was so equally divided between true winner and rich walker, I can take the Conor thing more or less in my stride. He said something truly vile to impress a bunch of ignorant peers, will have to live with the label of a misogynistic bully and a suspected racist outside his close circle, but as Adam suggested when Conor is somewhat older and a bit less arrogant (one can but hope) he will look back with regret. At any rate, the money came to him by a silly fluke rather than an act of mass public approval. If Luke A or Ashleigh are actually awarded the other half by public vote, that will be a sadder statement ...

You are all missing a very big point. Luke s was supposed to take the money, conor was to go through cause you all said he was confident and would win it. I guess he made fools of you all eh, lol.

Was that the forecast result or something? I don't tend to pay close attention to BBBOTS strategy announcements. I don't think I'd have ruled out either of them taking the loot.

The unpalatable truth is that somebody managed to win a place on a reality TV show whose nasty thuggish behaviour was rewarded with a large cash prize whilst the main victim of this will probably walk away empty handed. Shame on BB producers for introducing this ridiculous WR nonsense and allowing the afore mentioned person to be involved in it....!!! |
