OK, this is yet another annoying thread about this fake week fiasco.

My concern is that prior, this was flagged here and on another thread, I voiced my suspicions that who ever is leaking stuff from Channel 4 in to Digital Spy and here on TiBB, may be doing so on Channel 4's orders, pretending to be a mole.

It is a "cute" marketing trick, to try and raise ratings.

With the growth in fan sites on the internet, how could Channel 4 or any other organisation ignore them to socially engineer the participants to bend to their will.

I am wondering if some C4 exec has decided to mess with us as well as the house mates.

I think we should be told

Are we being played here?

Why would C4 want us to know beforehand?

Excuse me?

To get more of us to watch to see if it is true

To get us to talk about it and thus raise interest and thus get more of us to watch it.

It is all about ratings.

So you do not mind cynical C4 executives manipulating you and desecrating the integrity of this forum then?

If that is what they are doing then I find that insiduous.

If anything it would have the opposite effect. Nobody wants to know the ending before they watch.

I dont get it

But the psychology of this is that the "source" is made to be "less than credible", so we suspect the intelligence we are fed and so tune in to see if it is correct or not.

Thus, they manipulate us and play us for fools.

Watch out

There are spies traipsing through these forums.

I expect to meet with "an accident" for suggesting this

If we're on a Big Brother forum, we'll probably watch the eviction night regardless of rumours.

Give any wet blankets you may encounter for the next week or two a wide berth, and everything should be okay.

Been played for fools since opening night

Might even be custard pies...god forbid


Sticks, if you don't like what is posted on the forums before during or after a show then don't read them, i for one never read the forums on the day of eviction until after the show, just incase it gives me clues to what is going to happen, i would rather be surprised be happy
