Default Desperate for ratings?

Honestly,i believe this twist was utterly premature,i reckon it was actually meant for maybe 2 weeks time,but channell 4 were getting desperate over low ratings.

Why have you made about five threads slagging off tonight's show? Can't you just make one for all the grumps?

I would normally agree with the grab for ratings theory, but they never advertised it much, I mean the first I heard of it was 6:30 tonight when I logged on here.

Yeah, I was thinking it looked like a ratings plea and was a bit undramatic by the end. I'm not sure if the housemates will really buy into the idea that the money is gone. It happened in such a bazaar way that they will know it's a trick.??

They didn't make such a meal out of telling the housemates, that BB are NOT going to give the BB winner the Ł100thousand prize-fund either??

I thought that they may have emphasised that part a bit more?

There is still only speculation amongst the housemates at this time.

I agree. In fact the most important part of the trick is that they should believe in it. Though I'm quite surprised BB are playing with the financial side of things. Tomorrow the HMs will probably all have a good read of their 'welcome Pack` AKA the Game Rules.

No. This isn't a quick fix twist, the real effects will kick in over the next month, and things will become very interesting.

I must admit I'm quite impressed with the way the twist was kept under wraps, generally speaking, and it was quite unpredictable really. I think the consequences will be good to watch, with some more aspects of HMs personalities coming out perhaps... in fact if anything it's even better that this twist happened earlier because we get to find out all these things earlier! There's plenty of time in the near future for the other more predictable twists, e.g. HND/basement ones.

Personally I Had No Idea This Twist Was Coming, Usually There Is Loads Of Hype About Them! I Don't Think That Channel 4 Needed The Twist For Ratings, BB8 Has Been Extremely Entertaining This Year && With All The Twists Already I Don't Believe Thier Ratings Would Be Low!
