This is so true. Nobody should wish illness on someone or question someones illness. I hate Steven and Ashleigh but if one of them was ill therefore making them exempt from tonights eviction I would NOT BE BAYING FOR BLOOD. This is grossly grossly unfair. The girl is ill, she is being treated and we wish her a good recovery

yes but did they let her off any evictions whilst she had a serious condition? No.

And I agree Craigy_CraigO - putting all the pieces together does sound suspicious!

If Kimberly was genuinely ill they could have easily cancelled the 2nd eviction. Biannca got evicted so she could have had a proper interview. They could have cancelled the dodgy eviction most didn't want in the first place.

Your name. :lovedup:

This show is just dead now. has been for a long time, and channel 5 have shown that they're not interested in making the show live longer, but letting it die and beating it to death with fixes and twists.

Well her disease clearly managed to fit in with her Big Brother schedule

She didn't know she had it until AFTER the series so that is totally irrelevant :pat:

Wouldn't be surprised if they encouraged her to over-egg the severity of the illness.

Will everyone who is saying it is fair she was exempt change their opinion if they find out her illness was something more simple like a runny nose? Or if the reason was something to do with other activities she has been engaged in with Steven in the past week? Just throwing that out there since we don't know the severity of the "illness" yet....it must be something severe I would think to make her exempt...

But she still had to go away for treatment and it was very apparent that she was ill. :xyxwave:

Actually the ratings are pretty good. :)

By C5's standards they are terrific..... and the show often beats what's on C4.

No-one has answered the question (or maybe we don't know yet). but why did Kimberly have to go to hospital? What is wrong with her? (Maybe she got pregnant very quick). Regardless I believe that they should have evicted her, as that is the decision the newbies had reached, and interivewed her on BBOTS on Monday night. I amso annoyed and it does smack as if it was a fix.

No that's not what I meant at all
The shows gone to **** now

In your own personal view which, sadly, counts for nothing as against the ratings. So far as the BB bosses are concerned.

Yes she did, if she had been ill before an eviction maybe she would have been spared.

The fact remains she was diagnosed after the show so your point remains irrelevant.

pav wanted steven out at one point

Kim's illness will have to be explained pretty quickly in tomorrows show I imagine or on the next BOTS - unless they say that due to privacy reasons they can't discuss it - which would be a conspiracists dream ;)

Oh by the way, just thought, was it just me or did Steven not seem particularly concerned about Kim's welfare during the eviction? There wasn't much shown obviously so hard to judge but his main concern was that all his family would find it hilarious that the crowd were chanting "2 second steven" - thought he might have been a bit worried for her seeing she is so ill and mentioned that at some point?

why would they try to save kim with a 'fix'? shes not a huge favorite - i like her ok but most people find her a tad boring, and people are bored with the showmance anyway? I don't think theres any reason to think its bs

To keep the showmance going must be the reason

Sadly people aren't bored with the showmance. The producers especially!

The online youtube clips centred around the showmance usually get two or three times the views of other clips.

What? It may have been fixed but people acting as though going to hospital is only if you're seriously deathly ill is completely deluded.

Do we know when she went in? Until we know (if ever) exactly what was wrong with her and why she went to hospital it's fairly pointless speculating how long she should've been there.

She hasn't featured in any online showmance clips for at least 24 hours.

Which is unheard of.

Did she leave the house during an eviction night? No. :pat:

The producers should be taken to task on this one.

I can't put my thumb down far enough.

The most obvious fix ever tbh. Quite pissed off about it despite not really liking Danielle anyway... Stevens been saved by 'twists' for 2 weeks, and now this.

The fact they didn't give any kind of hint at what had happened with her such as "She had a fall and broke her arm" (like Jackie Travers) or "She had a stomach bug" suggests to me something more psychological.

I could be wrong. But she was losing it a bit in the videos I saw.

It's pathetic really, all engineered for an explosive BOTS and it was **** anyway.

Which was the last video she was in? The one where she spreading her legs? :hehe: When Steven and Zoe were talking about what Pauline said, was Kimberly still in the house at that point?

Make that 3 weeks...

Saved during Power Couple week, Saved during Girl Power week and now Saved during Armageddon Week.

:thumbs: You've said it all right there. This BB is a bollocks.

Plain and simple fix-up job that.

Yeah, thanks Toya! :fist:

That was Matt's decision... Toya even said she wanted to save Danielle but didn't want to come across as making all the decisions and bossing Matt around so let him decide instead...

This is why Steven should've gone over Queen Pauline tbh

Big Brother saved both Kimberly and Steven that week. If one of them was evicted, there is NO SHOWMANCE to follow

They know the public hate the showmance.... why on earth would they want to keep it going?

Because it generates interest and ratings whether people like it or not

Where are these extra high ratings that showmances bring? I think that's a myth. The ratings are no different no matter what the highlights are focussed on. It's only the hardcore fans watching. :laugh:
