BB's manipulation is so obvious. I'm surprised some of you are so blind to it, astonished even.

Gina winning the show would absolutely finish it. Don't get me wrong; this isn't "Hazel bias", Hazel winning would have been a disaster, too. A boring winner like Sam is a bit lame, yes, but we've had boring winners in the past and the show has gone on to have more interesting winners since... it won't harm it, it'll just be another to add to the list of "vanilla" winners.

If Gina - who is essentially a fairly nasty con artist - wins the show, it will set the tone for the sorts of show we'll see from here on out. I personally couldn't stand to watch an entire series where every back story is fake, and every personality is contrived. That's what Gina winning would represent. The ongoing slide of BB from an interesting, psychological reality show into the dire "scripted reality" trash that comes out of the US.

I agree.Not only that but it would prove that C5 can manipulate the public into choosing the winner that they want.The bias has been awful,Specially on BOTS.

I just have to laugh really. This is a heavily edited reality television show, of course it's going to manipulate viewers opinions. Most certainly even the OP's.

If your referring to hazel looking like a completely evil bitch who truly cares about no one but herself...BB didn't have to do anything, she did it all herself. She did much worse than was even shown on the highlight shows so if anything they tried to downplay how horrible she really is.

Speaking as someone in their 40s I refer to anybody under the age of about 28 as a kid;p

The brain isn't fully adult until early to mid 20s.

So long as the ratings have been satisfactory, I doubt that that would finish BB. Gina winning would fit in well with the Secrets & Lies theme. Similarly Dexter.

However... it will be interesting to see how they handle the fake background once the show is over. Whether or not she wins.

My guess is the same the same way as the handled Liam Young's fakery in 2008 (BBCH). Complete and utter silence and no comment whatsoever!
