I hate people who shout fix... especially when it's things like Aaron winning BB12... Nicola & Shannon Twins staying over Kirk & Cassidy.

Well actually, those were quite funny.

But I don't think it's 'fixed'... incredibly biased at times though.

Of course it's fixed, it proved it the week Lauren went when they had Conor and Caroline deciding who won the tasks, and then the Housemates nominated face to face knowing that people would be scared at nominating Conor, and Conor and Caroline discussed nominations which once again wasn't dealt with by BB.

I think parts of it are most definitely. It also has hugely biased editing sometimes. It's an entertainment show though.

I have reservations as to how biased most of the editing can be as to the highlights and I do believe possibly some engineering takes place as to the status of housemates but as for fixing results I would have to say no.

It is fixed towards the end.

They should start earlier and keep guys like bennedict in though. Guy would have had good arguments

its not fixed because even if Conor gets to the final he wont win. I cant understand why people who like certain housemates and see them revealed in a bad light on BBOTS say its biased or if Big Brother does something they dont like they cry FIX. It cant be a fix because there are regulations and rules governing it which are always monitored. So no its NOT FIXED

Yes! I'm sure some people are making money betting early on douchebags to stay in longer than they should.

No, it's very easy to claim fix but people seem to have a much harder job explaining why (as in what C5's motivation would be)

It's not fixed. People resort to calling it a fix when something seemingly inexplicable happens against their favorites. They resort to how BB has picked its "chosen ones" and as a response, the forums pick their own "chosen ones" and become laughably hypocritical.

There were all sorts of myths last year about how the show was fixed against Aaron even though it was obvious as soon as Mark walked that it was his game to lose. The Aaron fans would always insist that THIS IS AARON'S LAST WEEK GUYS, BB IS *REALLY* OUT TO GET HIM SO WE ALL HAVE TO VOTE FOR HIM! And then Aaron would top every vote with ~72% and yet for some reason, people doubted he was going to win?

And guess what? The same ****'s happening with Deana. Everyone's crying this week that it's a fix because of the "voting problems" (which have just caused people to call in and vote for Deana and Luke A even more) and that the show is out to protect "chosen one" Becky despite the fact that her edit has been horrendous for the past month and she has no fans besides her friends, family, and bigbrother12. Everyone is going to make a big deal when Becky's evicted and we "beat" the nonexistent rigging. And come twelve days time, they'll make an even bigger deal about how Deana has overcome all the odds (despite leading the betting odds for weeks on end) and will be declared the greatest winner ever and we'll never hear the end of it.

So yes, a majority of people will say that it's rigged, despite the fact that Deana's had a tremendous edit for just about the whole season. And come August 13th, we'll hear about all the rigging she overcame and how she was in so much danger, despite topping the vote every week and always being at the top of the betting odds.

And before anyone says that I'm biased, this is coming from a Deana fan.

I will tell you Ch5's motivation MTVN, it's that they want the show to turn into TOWIE and they are trying so hard to get a winner like that, and especially if they look like a model ie Sara, Conor, Luke S.

Well considering the rubbish edits that the "TOWIE" HMs are getting, C5's doing a ****ty job at fixing it.

And what is their motivation for that when:

- Big Brother is a much bigger show that gets better ratings than TOWIE

and

- Luke S and Conor clearly aren't as popular as the outsiders

It makes no sense.

Because TOWIE people aren't very nice people, and Sara is quite popular so not all are hated and getting bad edits as I think Sara gets very kind edits tbh.

They are trying to make The Outsiders look boring, I know there not though as I do check the videos thankfully.

Sara's getting a good edit because she's actually a good person. If C5 was REALLY trying to fix a show, they'd do a better job at it. Seriously.

they cant fix an entire series but its pretty obvious that bits from different weeks are fix

for example charley's fake eviction in bb8
they knew she was gonna be nominated before the whole fake week thing
if it wasnt for that twist she would have gone that week
and actually before that she was saved week3 when they certain hms were given punishment of disqualifying their nominations resulting charley's escape from being up


this year though more than ever lots of time the show has been so biased
face to face nominations? surely they knew that would result in certain hms not being nominated.

arron and shivonne
funny how they were at their worst during the week they got evicted, sure i think that when it comes to voting its not fixed, but they create high influences on the general public on how they should vote. conor didnt even appear during week6, guess who got evicted? the person he was up against, shivonne.

this is even more obvious on BBBOTS when conor made that sexual violence rap, it was clearly the main topic that should have be touched upon that week, yet it never became a question on any episodes (its been mentioned but not property discussed) they've given more airtime for that pointless jenny girl from task team when there was clearly a bigger and more serious topic that should have been discussed. and whenever its starting become a big discussion they always seem to dismiss the topic.

What the **** are you even talking about? Arron and Shievonne self-destructed when they were nominated. That's not fixed, just them being dumb and letting their emotions get the best of them. And you're REALLY surprised that Shievonne was evicted over Conor? You're REALLY surprised that a "hot" Irish personal trainer survived over an outspoken, argumentative black ex-Playboy bunny? You must be new.

And for the record, Conor was just as visible Week 6 as the others.

Sara's so nice that she started the bullying against Lauren in the first week, Sara is so nice that she's using Deana knowing that Deana hasn't got many friends/allies in the house.
