As far as something which involves public voting can fixed I would have to say it was the last series (BB8).

By making the twins one housemate they effectively combined their individual votes and increased their chances of winning greatly. Unfortunately for the producers it didn't work out the way they wanted and Brian went on to win the show.

Why they did it was to try and get a female winner because they wanted to even things up since there has only been 2 women winners (if you include Nadia) out of the previous 7 series.

None of them. I hate how people claim things are fixed when things don't go their way. I prefered the twins over Brian, loads over Pete and loads over Anthony (etc.) but do I care that they won? No. They just had loads of fans - nothing else to it.

Where was this? Where was she declared the most entertaining housemate ever? Just wondering.

And she got evicted because most of the viewers who voted wanted her to leave. It's as simple as that, really.

Even so, the public changed their minds after because the show went boring. Maybe it was because the public hated her at that time (week 8) and then once they realised that the show went boring when she left, they realised they made a mistake.

I don't think the producers wanted the wins to win. I think they wanted their first black winner so they were routing for Brian.

The twins being combined as far as I can see was just to make some decent competition for Brian.

I did however think it was a ridiculous unfair thing to do by combining them- would have much rather had them up against each other in a vote to evict. It'd make such dramatic telly!

If this was true, I'm sure Nikki probably would've made the top 3 and beat Aisleyne in the final, as Nikki was the 2nd favourite to win before the week she was evicted.

But she only made it to 5th place, so she must've lost fans during her return, and she didn't beat Aisleyne so the public obviously think they made the right decision in keeping Aisleyne over Nikki.

I suppose that's true. But i still think it was a bit fishy. You guys will proberly hate me for saying this, but i think BB7 went rubbish when Lea left...but i would say that...with me being an Official Lea fan.

Thats like me, I think BB8 went boring once Nicky left, and then Amy

[dupin]

Aisleyne staying definately wasn't a fix; Nikki got 38% of the vote that week, I doubt it was even close. I don't actually remember Aisleyne being favourite to go at any point in the week, I remember that my three favourites at the time were the three favourites to go (Nikki, Aisleyne, Susie), but I was happy because Nikki was the favourite to go, as she was the one I liked the least of the three.

Completely disagree!

I think Nicky was put in there to win.

Looking at her audition the mind boggles at how she got in. I think it was to end the race row by letting an Indian-woman win.

cujo_man - They were my 2 favourites, on Live they did so much more than they were given credit for.

No, you're entitled to your opinion, and if you thought the last weeks were boring that's fine! I actually agree, that the last few weeks were boring. I'm not sure whether it ws because of certain housemates getting evicted or because the remaining housemates themselves just got boring, but I did get a bit fed up of the last few weeks.

[i]Ok, so was Laura to elt a welsh woman win? Or Chanelle let a wannabe win?

Because I don't seem to recall an international race row over a Welsh or Wannabe woman.

Do you?

[Billy]

but they have brought in Black people before CBB5, so I dont see why Nicky was brought in to win cause of her colour

Because before CBB5 there had been no race row!

[Billy]

Theres no evidence or anyhting that says Nicky was brought in to win, why wasnt Charley brought in to win? Or Billi, or Brian, because from looking at Billis audition tape, NIcky was a hell of a lot more interesting than him

[officialleafan]

I thought BB wanted Charley to win...not Nicky?

Charley because she was put in to be argumentitive, Billi's audition made him look alot more interesting than Nikki as when Nikki, I was just sitting there thinking how the hell did she get in? And Brian. He looked entertaining in his audition. But Nikki's audition put me to sleep!

They didn't want her to win!

They fixed it for her to stay as she was causing the most entertainment!

[dupin]

Nicky was put in because she appeared moody and hated men, I think, nothing to do with a plan to win. Besides, she was the worst victim of the editing out of any UK housemate ever, I think, so it would seem like they wanted her out more than anything.

[Billy]

well thats personal opinion I suppose. But Im guessing the fact Nicky claimed tobe a man hater was what drew the producers to her

In my opinion they wanted someone to win who was black etc, after all the racism thing with Shilpa, they started to focus it on Charley and because the public hated her they focused it on Brian. And then what happend...what a suprise Brian won!
