Since Jon and Fed went it seemed empty to me, but now Jon's back for some reason it feels complete.

What remaining credibility there was of BB4 is now destroyed......

Why BB has always changed the rules, from Josh going in late, Liz leaving the day before the Final, the bars, every year is different.

I was dreading the last two weeks, as they got more cosy and boring, good on you BB, keep them on their toes








What a night, it was pure drama and it is a game show after all



Welcome Back John Tickle

[BigSister]

Yeah i know what you mean its like there was a hole but now it has been filled

[rachb]

I'm pleased to see Jon back in. Last night was great,the housemates all seemed pleased to see himand I'm sure Tickle fans are very happy this morning
I do think no matter who wins Jon will be the one everyone remembers

This change of rule is very very different indeed and breaks the principle of not having interference from the outside by someone who knows a lot about them. Indeed the late inclusion of Lisa threw a spanner in the works of common sense on BB behalf.

My full reasons are given on the thread titled "Lisa's eviction" bananarama

Expect the unexpected as BB always says.

The ratings were down this year, the housemates were being nice and polite to each other - so BB just had to up the stakes and has done so spectacularly.

At least BB4 will be remembered now for something else than a harmonious house.

The ratings were down this year, the housemates were being nice and polite to each other - so BB just had to up the stakes and has done so spectacularly.

On the basis of that logic I suppose BB could change the rule and could decide instead of evicting housmates to HANG them instead. Another spectacular triumph for the planners.........

The point is there are rule changes that are acceptable and sensible and there are rule changes that are stupid and unacceptable in any fair legitimate game.

If Jon had not declared that he has positive preferences and was instead neutral then that would not be so bad. But under the circumstances BB are allowing blatent and deliberate interference with the end result.

I suppose one good word for channel 4 would be that normally they try to manipulte a certain outcome on the sly via BBLB and biased guests all gunning for the same person instead of providing propper balance, the viewers are encouraged to follow theie band waggon instincts.. This time CH4 have done it bold as brass.

Well, it's certainly not a precedent.........the girl of the very 'active' Norwegian couple of 2001 was evicted and came back in........

I think they will do more things in all to make things interesting, I mean, since Cameron left, BB SA Have had Ainsley Harriot in to cook for them!!!

Then, there's the couples thing in America, Anouska going into BB AUs....why not?

[BusyBee]

I am no longer surprised what BB comes up with now. Obviously changes have to be made, but changes seem to be made for the sake of it.

[Stu xxx]

well can we safely say every theory we have ever had about Big Brother has been played out this year - all thats missing is the celebrity in the house x i mean christ we even have Teen Big Brother starting right after BB this year! x

[BusyBee]

Let's face it, it's a manipulated entertainment show and always has been.

It wasn't exactly fair for the game when they sent one housemate off to South Africa, or last year with the bars - Kate being on the poor side for so long probably helped her win.

And they've always edited it to make you think there's a story when they're might not be, or to caricature someone.
