When the psychologists pointed out Alex’s honesty at the expense of his standing inside the house, they were just explaining the popularity that he has gained with viewers, and the reasons for him winning eviction votes. In the eyes of the public 'playing the game' of getting on everyone's good side is seen as one the greatest offences in Big Brother. Alex was playing that game very incompetently at the beginning. He alienated almost everyone in the house but not the viewers. The psychologists also mentioned that public opinion of Alex could go either way though, so they were even-handed.

I thought the analysis of Jonny was right on the money. He's admitted himself that he has modified his behaviour for the sake of the cameras and public opinion. I also thought at the time, he knew that taking control of the decision of which housemate would get the phone call would make him look altruistic.

When talking about Kate they used words like 'level-headed', 'well equipped for the Big Brother experience', 'uncomplaining', ‘resilient’, 'entering into the spirit of Big Brother', 'tough' and 'smart' so I would say that the reasoning of her character was non-partisan.

They gave reasons to approve or disapprove of each of the housemates.

And I can’t think of a reason for Channel 4 having a favourite in the final week, which they wanted public opinion to swing towards.

Also why e-mail The Sun newspaper? Like their coverage of Big Brother is always reasonable, sensible and gracious to the housemates. Not.
