I find this an interesting point of view... I mean, yes, it's "unfair"... but I think people are <tania>blantantly</tania> forgetting the key aspect of Big Brother:

Big Brother is a GAME SHOW

The aim of the game is to win £70,000. It's not meant to be a popularity contest, it's not meant to be easy and it's not meant to be run by just those inside the house. Public opinion, housemates opinions, etc are all counted too. If the housemates decided they loved Lisa, would she have had the reception she had? No, she wouldn't. So, whatever happens it's events INSIDE the house that shape it. Whilst Jon declared that, Cameron may come out on top... The majority of them have a game plan, Cameron is definetly included within that.

At the end of the day, Big Brother's a game show, it's designed specifically for things like this. Winning £70,000 is not meant to be easy!

And, also... the PUBLIC chose that Jon went in, most full well knowing that he would pick off members of the house - You can't blame the production team for that. Jon has fans, it happens. If you don't like the fact that this is the whole point of the game show, I suggest you watch something else.

I do like the phrase "desperate channel organisers"... Big Brother continues to get higher ratings than almost every other program on channel 4... very desperate indeed. And... you do know this has been planned for a few series? That is has been mentioned by Endemol staff previously? That similar situations emerge with any housemate that's brought in, it's no different. We saw the housemates tear Lisa apart, we've seen them select and attempt to beat down other housemates - that also directly influences the public. It's how it works!
