I posted this elsewhere but for me, that speech is just proof of how much they have contributed to this series.

They were clearly genuine tears and emotions. Once Ryan admitted Spencer had said to him 'this is a job for us' I think it was pretty obvious that they were acting and it's just part of their characters. It was their role on The Hills and it's their role here too, that's what they do. They understand the need for drama and entertainment in reality TV, they 'get it', and that's what makes them thousands of times better housemates than any of the rest. It's all just a game, an act, a persona - it's not the real them.

And I think it's commendable that he has earnt his fee and done what he was paid to do, that is more than can be said for the rest of them who have sat on the fence, stayed in the background and have wasted hundreds of thousands of pounds of the budget. They have made this series, and people can try and deny it all they want, but they have, it's indisputable. Without them it would've crumbled into a puddle of piss. They are clearly nice, genuine people at heart but this is a TV show and as I try and stress so much on this forum, the idea is to create drama, events, talking points and they get that, he's tried to and he has succeeded.

And to be quite honest even if that was still an act, it was bloody brilliant acting and the best finish to what has been incredible game playing from them the entire series. So it's win win either way, but you will still get the usual few coming in here and not getting it. Sad really, but IMO, that is not only the best speech ever delivered in one of these final night dinners on Big Brother, but that's the perfect 'closure' to what has been an impeccable few weeks of entertainment from them. Brilliant job.
