Default So were they told to nominate Eileen and Joel?

And to avoid nominating Jade?

And do people no longer care if this show is actually getting ever closer to being scripted?

I feel like this is one of those times when someone asks a question even though they already know the answer and will argue with someone who has an opposing view

Just wondering if people have suspected this. I find it somewhat bizarre that Jade was not put up.

They've probably been told that they have been sent in because the house was boring though and therefore feel obliged to keep the supposedly interesting characters like Jade in though.

No, no. I'm happy for your response. I wonder how many on the forum disagree with you though.

Nobody really seems to care.

I have started a few threads to try and highlight the issue and it just ends up with people calling us "conspiracy theorists."

I have no doubt that they were directed who to nominate.

In fact, after the blatantly obvious cued conversations in the last 2 shows, I doubt the housemates scratch their arses without direction from the producers.

It's the reasons for those nominatiosn that bother me. Joel is not the most boring in there and again Eileen nominated for her age.

Dunno, I find Joel and Eileen both boring. Seem like logical choices to me.

They aren't the most boring. Until the newbies arrived Chloe and Danny were also very dull.

Yes, but why is being boring a reason for people actually living with them (as opposed to watching the show at home) a better reason than "Jade is devious"? It's as though they've been told to nominate housemates who viewers might find boring.

It just seems convenient to me that the 2 people put up are the 2 people who probably contribute the least in terms of storylines or potential storylines. Joel having lost his with Aaron/Sarah and Eileen just not fitting in very well.

Do people even trust those poll results? There's no money involved so do they even have to give accurate results?

I noticed the lot of threads. When someone makes a lot of threads on the same subject it does make them look somewhat desperate to force their point.

Nothing wrong with having an opinion, but continually creating threads and not accepting others view points on the topic gets a bit tiring

They probably weren't told specifically who to nominate. They've seen the show, they know the ratings are horrendous, and it's clear to them what the producers would like to have happen. From hearing ex-reality TV personalities being interviewed, it's very common that they try to act things out that will meet with producers' approval. That's part of how the producers shape their product.

Which conversations do you feel were cued?
