During these production meetings voting figures are discussed and highlight editing is decided. These meetings include the executive producer, creative producer, and their deputies, camera sound and editing staff, narration script writers etc . All in all at least 20 people, after the meeting they then go and carry out the policies decided at the meeting.
Anyone with any sense who then works under these people would quickly realise either by their words or the work allocated in favouring particular housemates roughly what way the votes are going.
You really are naive if you think it works any other way, thats why for the last few series its always been the "nice, innocuous" people who have won.
Who wins, you decide (but only after you have listened and watched our biaised programs). Incidentally thats the unofficial slogan among those who work there.

I firmly believe that the polices decided upon at such meetings necessarily have to have the objective of maximising viewing fugures so as to ensure the ad breaks are attractive to advertisers.
If an eviction is a foregone conclusion, people will choose to go to the pub rather than watching....same with finales.
They simply have to manipulate what comes across to keep the contests as seemingly 'close' and exciting as possible. Hence if one candidate is miles ahead 'to win', then paint them in an unfavourable light and give the others favourable highlights..........and so on It's just commercial sense.
