I think the first time that changed was when they put Nicki Graham back in as a 'proper' housemate (ie still eligible to win) after people had spent money voting to evict her. Davina kept quoting 'BB can change the rules at any time' and basically telling us to stop whinging but that was when the programme 'jumped the shark', so to speak. It was the first blatant manipulation outside the original parameters and done for the sake of viewing figures, of course. Downhill ever since then..!

It wasn't the first. It was just the one that people remember the most. BB6 featured a blatant piece of manipulation when Kemal, Anthony and Craig were supposedly up. They waited to see which group did nominate and which group did not and which ever one Vanessa was in would be the one who were really nominated. Unfortunately for them Makosi was more unpopular then Vanessa, so they then added another twist where the two with the most votes would face a HM vote. This led to Vanessa being evicted over Makosi, which is what they were going for all along.
