Default Is anyone else bothered by the bias towards Gina by BBBOTS?

I mean itīs like every night how god knows how long they have overpraised Gina on every occasion possible, saying the same mantra:

"I love Gina cause she is so great..." "I think Gina is great, i love her..." "I like her so much, she is fabulous" "She so and so and so". The hosts do the same thing and i have not heard a single bad word from them since the first week.

And when there is a critic or someone who doesnīt like her/, he/she is kind of shut/toned down saying/jeering:

"Noooooo!", "She is not like that" "She is nice and kind" "No, she is great" "She is my role model" "She was so great on that and that" etc. Every time.

She is usually shown the most on the show, almost every show has a clip featuring her, everything in a positive light and hardly ever in a negative way, she is praised full force by everyone even when she is not doing anything noteworthy.

I admit that there is always an odd one or couple critics of her there, but as i said they are usually silenced or toned down by the hosts (But she has it so hard or something) or the crowd by jeering "Noooooo, she is not like that" etc.

Itīs like every other housemate is scum of the earth/not worth mentioning (little exaggeration) and Gina is an angel of god, holy queen, goddess of goodness, Mother Teresa or similar entity who can do no harm to anyone and is always right in every thing.

-----------------
On the flip side, itīs completely opposite towards Hazel and she is seen as the devil, who is cause of everything evil happening in the world. Mainly everything seems to be very critical or overly negative and hateful towards her.

It is very, very annoying and itīs the reason i have completely given up on BBBOTS in terms of BB14...


What does everyone else think? Does anyone else feel like me?

Exactly the same.
But what can you do ?
Appears calling in to BBBOTS is fast becoming the last bastion of free expression.

It's all about "agenda" if you ask me.

Can understand Gina is the closest thing to a "celeb" in there so they might want her to win.

But don't understand why Sam is so loved but glamorous Hazel isn't.

I'd be interested to know if BBBOTS were having a love in with Hazel BEFORE the Daley incident ?

^ And the other thing that has bothered me is, to me it seems like most of the audience is specifically purposely recruited by asking the following question: "Who do you like most in the house?" "Who do you dislike the most?" and then they pick the ones who love the so called chosen favourite and the ones that immensely or almost fanatically dislike/hate the nemesis of the chosen favourite.

When to me itīs should be somewhat even on all accounts.

3 POSSIBILITIES OF WHY GINA IS FAVOURED BY BB AND BBOTS

THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU THINK THAT:


1. large amount of money bet put on Gina to win when the odd was 30/1 or 40/1. by underworld gangsters/gamblers who may have liaison with with BB.


2.Gina is wealthy.So why not influence the show in her favour by greasing the hands of the producers.


3.Large betting done by insiders,,channel 5, productions team, floor team who does the editing and selecting of guests to promote Gina on the show.Some will be a bit richer if Gina win.


Note :this is only a theory and we want you to ponder over this.Something fishy going on.

They can only work with whats infront of them though. If the majority of the watching public are finding Gina funny, which they are, they are going to talk about it. Same with Hazel, if shes being a bitch, they're going to talk about it.

oh Please have you ever watched BOTS in the past the show is always biased towards certain HMs, the year Aaron won was probably the worst, Alex was almost made into a Saint and Aaron was accused of all sorts including being a wife beater. There are reasons he never returned to sit on the panel on BOTs and the complete white wash of his character was one of them.

Yeah she's not put under anywhere near as much scrutiny as other housemates, anyone else would have been slaughtered if they'd acted like she has the last couple of days

She's the type of person you would have avoided at school.... Leader of the pack who would prey on the vulnerable... I don't believe BB should have allowed that kind of bullying to go on against hazel

Big Brother and BOTS needs to be completely non-partisan. Stop manipulating us!

They might as well come clean and tell us...listen people this year we BB want Gina to win and we will do our best she gets all the help she needs and the phone call from her boyfriend is to inform her of the danger to ally herself with Hazel. We can take our revenge by calling 'get Gina out' tomorrow.BB is taking us for fools.Do not vote as the show is fixed for Gina to win.Do not waste your money and show your two fingers to the producers.

Shameless bump. I think BBBOTS and the producers should remember that there are other housemates than Gina in there.

Let's hope Regina phones BOTS again and gets them all in check.

I'd be shocked if they ever let her through again though.

So no opinions uttered whatsoever on BBOTS? That would be an interesting hour.

I'd be more bothered by BOTS bias if it remained consistent throughout the show. As it is that bias shifts about depending on whichever narrative the producers are following in any given period.
