Isn't it convenient
 

how each week we're handed someone suddenly annoying on a silver platter to distract from Conor's constant behavior? Arron was harmless, until, suddenly, 2 days before eviction, it's the Arron Gone Wild show. Shiv was bitchy and stirring, but last week, it's nervous breakdown time. This week, amazingly, after being a mildly annoying non-entity for weeks, Becky is the world's most ignorant yet simultaneously Machivellian villain in the history (that she'd never read) of the world.

Are they going to offer up a new sacrificial goat each week so they can try to claim Conor's behavior must not have been that bad, since he lasted so long?

not necessarily convenient, rather a worrying reflection of the lack of goodness in the house this year

They're doing anything to protect their chosen ones.

its true.

Definitely time for Conor to go now. Becky wont ever annoy me as much as him, I don't think :suspect:

i guess becky will be nominated this week then

If Conor makes the final this'll be the only reason why. Everyone he has been up against has gone barmy in the week leading up to the eviction.

BB is a master of manipulation and we, the viewers, need to keep a sense of perspective and not allow ourselves to be influenced unduly but to make allowances for the HMs and the environment they're living in

BB is probably wants to keep Conor in, but on the flip side, they are probably wanting to keep Deana in as well.

These two have had it out for each other since Day 1 it seems like and BB wants to keep this "seasons's rivalry" going as long as they can. Just like how they like to keep showmances going, they will want to keep both Conor and Deana in for drama.

i want everybody up on a vote to evict

this is the minpulation of BB - we all sign up to that viwers abd people taking part - but in all you no people have good and bad sides - well untill you come to people like Conor and Shiv - or people like LukeS who is so self obsessed.

but you can make a judgement on what we see and we get a rough idea. but you can choose.

I'm not typically one to go in for "it's a fix" theories on shows. BBUS being an exception because it was openly admitted a few seasons back that it was rigged by the new producer. I'm not even really looking at this from a favoring a contestant POV, but rather, from Endemol and Ch5 facing an actual financial and/or legal liability on the back of this series. They have a conflicting interest in making one of their foulest hm's look better, and it would be nice to see them forced to address it in the open before the series ends and money is handed out.
