they needed him as their paid actor/ mole


I personally am at about 70% sure that Ben will be the big reveal on week 6... the evidence is stacking up tbh.

I did a thread on this before, executive producers of BB kept ringing Ben up because they wanted him on the show.

Producers did the same thing with Freddie-obvious they tapped up Ben for it.They wanted a bit of posh in there.Probably the same for Shabby and Dave.

Why don't the Red Tops do some investigative reporting instead of just making up stories!!

She's one to talk..... She was approached by producerd/researchers to "audition" for the show, she didn't queue up like everyone else....

Family confirmed this on an Irish radio station!

All the finalists would have been picked by the producers, otherwise why hold auditions? The only one that was pulled out of the hat was Mario. They have to try to pick characters, surely, otherwise we could end up with a house full of Nathans.

The whole thing is beginning to stink to high heaven - JJ is another obvious one as is Steve the whole show is a sham and if they go on with this Kweervan/B/F "wedding" it will be SO obvious that it just a fake show, but the teenies will still chuck money at them.

If they ring people up to go on the show, the show is FAKE!

You are about six years late to the party. Big Brother has been doing this for years now. I couldn't give a rats ass to be honest. It doesn't make the show fake if X was handpicked to go in. We still get to watch the live interactions 24/7 with Y and Z.

The show would be fake if X turned out to be a robot and Elstree did not actually exist on any ordinance survey map of Hertfordshire and it's surroundings.

What were you expecting, a DEMOCRACY? It's Big Brother, it's about as fake as you can get. I'm just surprised people are surprised.

He isn't an actor, this happens every year and they never are.

I would imagine they go to certain people who they know through various sources that they think would be good for the show. They do the same on Xfactor and BGT where they send out invitations etc.

The concept of auditioning and getting on on your own merit is how it's touted, if the producers just ring around and choose favourites who never joined an audition queue, think Ben, can you imagine HIM queueing up in the rain for this?, then the show is just another game show with hand picked contestants and probably a winner already decided upon!

Does it make the show fake? Not really. He still went in and chummed up for realz with Richard. A certain amount of planning has to be involved. Since you have such odd, tight restrictions on what counts as 'real' why not pick at the multitude of other things that show it up to be a TV show?

Is your house wired with cameras? Is someone sitting in a gallery out in your shed issuing Orwellian reprimands into the house? Does your toilet seat double up as a Diary Room? All of these things represent 'fake' reality as much as handpicked housemates do.

You want to see real? Watch BB4.

No doubt Nikki Grahame is "on hold" for this one as well.

Ben apparently informed most of London that he was going in, so he is saying! I thought they were supposed not to tell anyone , just what I thought

I don't understand why people who have never even seen the show, audition for it.

But there are quite a few people that are genuine fans of the show and that went through the normal audition process like everyone else.
