Its the same with television; whilst CBB would get a bad reputation, Channel 5 would be heavily fined and their licensing would come into question.

I'm sure there were some discrepancies but nothing illegal happened here.

Personally I've enjoyed this series and I stopped watching CBB a while back because it was tedious. I like what they are doing and believe CBB and BB needed to evolve if it was going to remain popular viewing. Clearly its worked.

As you are entitled to your opinion, i am entitled to mine. If the show is a fake scripted abomination then it should be advertised as such. I also stand by my opinion that if they are going to misinterpret housemates and manipulate events to their own ends then it should be shut down. Perfectly valid opinion

thank you.

much ado about nothing, there was less production interference than most years, perez being convinced to stay is a non story, they do that for everyone. if perez had been voted 'safe to the final' that would be the controversy....instead its that they forced him to stay...

Then we should also shut down every British newspaper as well as the British government!

because i stand up for integrity? If you mean i'm not a fan of contrived manipulated tripe at the mercy of one housemate, then you are absolutely correct, i'm not a fan, cause thats not what BB is about to me.

I hope Perez tells everything. That will teach them to manipulate things!

You have a right to complain to OFCOM if you wish. Maybe the police as you have indicated that you believe fraud has been committed. Other than those options or switching off, I'm not really sure what can be done?

I don't know if fraud has been committed, but I won't be watching any further manipulation, that is correct. Not my cup of tea. It wont take much viewing of the civilian series to see if its continuing along the same path, if it is, i will switch off

This as been the same for 5/6 years the only difference is people is starting to realise it now

Don't like the producers. Very anti Men. Openly make fun of guys penis size, allows old gay men to act like massive pervs towards young straight men, but if old straight man does the same its frowned upon. double standards all the way

I can understand this for CBB but when it comes to the regular series this seems unfair. There's a large cash prize so it's essentially a game show and therefore producers giving certain people an advantage or disadvantage isn't fair. For example if the producers of who wants to be a millionaire purposely gave someone a load of easy questions because it would be entertaining if they won then that would be unacceptable.

Wait when did that happen?
