[Sticks]

Last year BB3 was tainted with accusations of manipulation and vote rigging.

The bars were unpopular and the contestants were given a raw deal.

Two left volountarily, showing that the screening process was suspect.

Prior to that in BB2, the powers that be wanted to set Helen up for the first sexual encounter on a British BB, (I know they are denying it). The meals for two was so blatant an attempt

What scuppered their plans was that Paul showed his true colours as a gentleman and things never got out of hand.

BB1, the allowing of the tainted eviction vote after Nicholas Bateman was disqualified was also a botch up by C4/Endemol

Who knows how BB4 is going to be monkied around with.

The fact they said it was going bact to its roots, seems to indicate they got a lot of complaints.

We need to keep the pressure on if this gameshow must be run. The odd piece of correspondence to the sponsors may not go amiss. That is what I did last year when C4/Endemol went back on their word.


Any hue

Too late for BB4, but assuming there is a BB5, should a bunch of us all put in applications, and on our video pointedly tell them we are not happy. (We could all have the same script)

We may not get through to an audition, but they will be told that they are on notice

The risk is they might call our bluff and put one of us in the house.

I say I may regret this, because I vaguely remember saying this on the old C4 Reach forum in 2001, and got trapped in to having to apply for BB3.

Would this work, or have we got any other ways to make C4/Endemol play fair ?
