Now I'm personally not suggesting anything, I just want to see what everybody has to say about the subject.

With a lot of fines and heavy punishments issued to television programmes such as GMTV, Saturday Night Takeaway and Richard & Judy recently, the awareness of competition "rigging" and supposed injustice has been intensified lately.

However, reports linked to shows such as Big Brother, I'm A Celebrity and the X Factor continue to go on.

Now I don't know if it's true myself, but according to my best friend Tom, who was up at the studios on Saturday supporting Emily in Hope, the audience were already aware that Hope were to be eliminated roughly 20 minutes before the announcement was made

He says it was shown on a television camera not far from where he was sat.

Now of course, as I wasn't there I cannot possibly presume anything, but there's certainly room for speculation there?

What are your thoughts? Are these types of show acting unfairly, or is it all just lots of phoney maloney?
