Over here, BBUS does the exact same thing. It's easy to see how a lot of competitions and edits are made to favor certain HG's. In the end, it's all about ratings.

I'm actually really surprised that they didn't just randomly announce who was saved. I'm sure they'd call Jay first, followed by Faye and then Aaron if that was the case. If it did ever come down to a Jay Vs Aaron, do you think they'd lie or at least tamper with the votes to try to keep Jay in? I'm hardly saying they would, I'm just curious as to who actually controls the results since the actual numbers are not made public.

In a way I hope they put up Aaron again, it just makes his fan base get bigger each week and keeps him in the lime light. We all know he'll win either way

By announcing to the public BB are infact telling the Voters Aaron is leading

The effect is Aaron fans vote less & Jay fans vote more.

This is my understanding of it at least


Facebook votes only cost 0.07p and i think you can vote as many times as you like.

This is a bonus for Jay and i am starting to believe they have it in for Aaron. I just don't know if it is because they dislike his gameplaying ( a player has never won BB before ) or because they think it's better for the show to help Jay win.

Thanks. At the time of that post I was unaware that there was a external, independent company that controls vote counts. So now I know that there is no way it can be tampered with or lied about. I see your point Crom and it will be interesting to see if how and if this tactic actually plays out. I mentioned in another post that I think they're trying to build up Jay for a Jay v. Aaron showdown. They know Anton has little or no chance so they're investing in Jay now. At least that's what I'm taking away from what I've seen so far (freezergate + staged crowd).

Well Yes the crowd was Pro Jay. You could argue Jay attracts the type of people that also apply for tickets to be in the crowd, and Aaron attracts a different type of person, however BB could balance the crowd if they chose to and they haven't.

Freezergate to my mind though is different no Tv show would like to be connected to such an incident and it does not necessarily follow that it was a Helping hand for Jay.

Been a great Series so far, but for the dodgy Edits. Hope your enjoying it.
