I think they made this secret task to get lee out safe and if you think about emma is listening to the crowd and she gets the votes she know will be next out the house plus it's her friend so they don't want to burst his celebrity bubble and meet the crowd

It could have been Casey though. They were both favourite to go.

Emma's a presenter, not a producer.

The votes are processed and counted by an independent adjudicating company (as are all shows that exercise televotes), the executive producer will be given names of the housemates saved in a vote freeze, and the name of the housemate evicted when the lines are closed. And they will then convey that information to Emma via her earpiece. When she saves two or more housemates 'in no particular' order, the adjudicating company are still the only ones that know who had more.

Oh purleaze, not another conspiracy theory!

I have said it before and I will say it again: the BB producers don't give a toss who wins, who is evicted, who is cheered or who is booed.

Their primary concern is how much profit the show is making, ie making sure the money, in particular advertisers' money, is coming in. That is why the show got extended: to maximise profit.

Let's not kid ourselves!

It did look a bit suspicious though. Lee was the onlt one dressed up and wearing a coat. You have to wonder why.

Emma go to meeting to talk about the task ahead and what there doing the ear piece is there so she can mess up and say the wrong thing in the script

Lee had probably been in the garden having a smoke, he threw a pack of fags to Sam as he was leaving that had been in his coat pocket

Yeah, this is possible.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

that would be fraud if they did that, 1000's of paying people getting ripped off. I'm sure they wouldn't think of doing this.

[Slevin]

lol i didnt think for one second of anything cause he was wearing a jacket. figured they just called em to the sofa when they were mucking about all over the place. its not like they knew there was gonna be an eviction like its a Wednesday or Friday. so no time in trying to get ready for something. they more than likely had the thought of a possible eviction when called to the sofa though.

[Cherie]

It was a fairly big task to organise, I very much doubt they did it to save Lee's blushes.

[RichardG]

Emma does not get the votes statistics before an eviction, there's no conspiracy theory here.

While an outside company may independently adjudicate, ALL the details of votes are handed over to Endemol/BB. Production also keep an eye on the voting throughout the week so they can rehearse eviction interviews for HM's with the lowest votes.

Normally I could even think therr was some plan to protect a housemate.
Housemates have been brought out away from any crowd before when they have been controversial.

However in this case, likely the 3 housemates in the bottom 3 would be Casey,Lee and Luisa, Luisa got cheers on friday and with them all up there is likely never any certainty how the votes will be distributed.

Had Luisa gone, it would not have been too hostile a crowd as she has turned things around so I think it was just linked to part of the clock task and was not planned around Lee really.

It would have been quite interestingto see how he coped in te house after Jasmine's return, he got a lot of stick from the other guys as to it and it was getting very uncomfortable for him.
That could have made for a fiery last few days.

They'll have had a good idea from gauging online reactions, forums, betting companies etc anyway but that doesn't mean anything, it's verified independently.

[Niamh.]

I seriously doubt that's why the eviction was planned that way

Maybe he was outside having a fag?

Maybe he had a hint something was going on when all the housemates were told to gather on the sofas at 9:30 usually a sign of a double eviction.
No conspiracy at all, people just didn't vote for him.

[Pincho Paxton]

He even got an easy BOTS interview as well, slagging off Casey.

The "freeze while family members/friends come in and out" task happened on BBCanada, BBAus, and I think even BBUS this last season. It was a planned recycled task for this period of the show. It just so happened that Lee was such a tosser it worked to his disadvantage.

Of course, there would have been no way to have predicted at the planning stages for the season that Jasmine Lee and Casey would have a love triangle, and that Jasmine would be one of the friends going back in, but obviously that was too good to pass up on.

I doubt they'd go to those lengths just to prevent him from 45 seconds of booing.

It's not that bad being booed - everyone else goes through it.

[robroy_2000]

I you see was a breaking point and wanting out the house that would be the best way to get lee out
