Fixes generally suit bookies - for example, if they'd had to absorb a lot of betting on an almost sure evictiion, then BB twists it so a different housemate gets the boot!

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

re: your point about the fave falling at the last fence: don't forget that Big Brother is the jockey in tonights race. and as i understand it, like britains got talent, the voting figures aren't audited.
