Godwin's law makes an appearance in the Big Brother subforum. Who'd have thought it? 
Actually that's not true at all, there have been times in the past where the producers have manipulated or engineered results and the majority of this forum was elated because it was for one of their favourites. When it became clear last series that they were doing the nightly voting update to help save Isabelle, suddenly people were in favour, and have commended that move in the months after the fact. The rigging to save Charley in BB8 is also looked back upon fondly and as something hilarious. When it gets them the result they want (i.e. one that benefits their favourites), people are content with producer manipulation. That's fine, it's the same for me too. What others need to do is just own up and admit that rather than pretending that they're consistent and have always been about fairness
Where did I say people weren't allowed to celebrate? My point was that there was nothing to throw a strop over in the first place. It was clear nothing was going to change, that the "win over production" was going to be obvious, and like I would've done had they actually rigged it, maybe people could just go "fair enough, I was wrong and overreacted" - because they were |
Well Charley’s fake eviction was announced a full week before it happened, even before she was up for nomination, and people were angry about the producer manipulation result reveals thing with issy but grew to enjoy the fan-lead campaigns and their personal victories. The enjoyment of that was entirely separate to production-input.
This Lewis thing is different to both, and people didn’t like that. Even two out of two Lewis fans on this thread have told you that they didn’t like it!
Maybe the difference is between a cloud of doubt and complete transparency, but people typically hate the rigging.
Also I think you need to understand that a very large chunk of the viewers really do not want to watch people that they hate. Even if they’re loud and argumentative or dominating the highlights. Most people dislike watching people they dislike - viewers don’t need saving from themselves, they know what they want and do not want to watch. It may be different to the things that’s you enjoy watching. You should have understood that by now! I feel like I’ve told you this every 6 months for the past 4 or 5 years!
