Default * spoiler * this is the final straw

We have put up with manipulation after manipulation.

Nominations have been interfered with in every week but one throughout the entire 3 months. Twice in a row the public had no say whatsoever.

Outside influence has come into the house almost daily.

I've practically given up watching the daily shows and only watch the evictions + read the Forums.

But now, if Chris leaves on Friday having been manipulated up by producers who are determined to get him out before the final (if at first you don't succeed, try, try try and manipulate again), I will not be watching the final week.

If the producers do everything they can to stop someone winning because they have decided they don't want them to, what on earth is the point watching it?

This has to be the only game show in the world where the rules are changed by the organisers to suit themselves. It's like running the 100 metres in the Olympics, then stopping Usain Bolt one metre from the end and forcing him to wait until all the other athletes have crossed the finish line.

I really have lost all patience in this how. I actually wonder if there has been another set of producers who have shown this much contempt for their audience. Breathtakingly ridiculous.

If they've manipulated every week then it's not unfair on Chris. That's how the series has gone.

No I completely agree, I just meant that the manipulation case doesn't apply soley to Chris

It's more that the OP reads as though they've targeted Chris because they want Chris out as opposed to it being this week's "twist" that they've been doing every sodding week since launch night.

Yes, the twists are crap, yes most of them are unfair but that's the whole series. There's nothing special about Chris or them wanting him out that has made this twist come to light they've been doing it all series regardless of who is nominated, who is safe etc etc.

Pile of wank but hardly the most unfair twist of the series.

Totally agree with you, that's why I started this petition a few weeks ago. I recently stopped advertising it on twitter, but after the past few days I've decided to relaunch it.

The only reason I think they want him out Is for his own personal safety ater what they have done to him.

Its like putting a dog to sleep as its for the best.

They have nothing to gain from any of these housemates winning, the channel doesn't give a **** about who stays and who goes at this point but in this case I fear they may think after that "grooming" task they know they overstepped the mark and they want to white wash it and forget.


It was at random though so BB did manipulate it but it was down to the housemates who finally chose him remember.

The producers of BB US are just as bad. BB 8 they put in Dick Donato and his daughter, Danielle, who were supposedly estranged. Naturally, the story arc was for them to be reconciled, and win. Dick was utterly vile to a young woman in the house, talking about rape and calling her all kinds of names. Well, of course, the pair won. This kind of manipulation continued and now BB US is down to three shows a week.

It's all about magazine and paper deals. It's not a gameshow or reality show anymore. It's about who makes the most money for the Daily Star.

Exactly, I said in another thread last week, it's getting pretty obvious the producers want Chris evicted(IMHO)it's like Aaron(BB12) all over again they did everything to try & evict him, I would love to see Chris winning now (not just because he's been my favourite since day 1), but just to sicken the producers & 2 sec Steven I thought he was really horrible about Chris all last week on BBOTS.

What's the spoiler?
