Default BB Engineered

Dexter being in the final.


They knew that Dexter would try and take the money and so they had the power and position to ensure that he would be there for the last week- I can imagine them all being sat around working out a way so that they could make him stay but looking like they hadn't influenced it.

They also had the ( BB) luxury of knowing that they could alter things if by some miracle someone had taken the £1 or a lot lower amount, they would have had contingency plans.

My bet if one of the others would have taken the pound BB would have let them walk out with it.

Last night was all about making sure that Dexter stayed for the last week.


What was Gina doing, I know she has being loosely allied to Dexter, but FFS it was like she was in on it, doing a good job of quelling any descent.

I totally agree. Also, the follow up question as to who to choose, Sophie or Gina, would have been a different question, if someone else had picked a lower figure.

Even if they have engineered it the viewers had the power to vote him out umpteen times but have not done so...so and in the final they have the power to vote someone else as a winner.

What has the above got anything to do with the title of the thread.

There is one thing playing the game and the only person that has ever played this game as a game and not come in as them selves- eg: devious or angry etc was Victor- from the start Victor included the third person US - the viewers in everything he was going to do. Problem was he got totally phased when Michelle and Co were 'pretend' evicted. Anyway, that is how to play the game- pretend villain, pretend Machiavellian.

All that happened last night was that BB rewarded someone for being a devious little sh1t bag. He will now go on to act the same way he always has done when he gets out of the BB house.


As for you remarks about the GP keeping him in, well that says quite a lot about the IQ level of the people voting coupled with the fact there has been others that equally deserved to get the royal boot from the program.

As I have stated in another thread, if they wanted to test the true mettle of the man they should have let him walk with the 88k and let him open the suitcase live on national tv only for him to discover that he been played by the biggest player- BB and that the contents was Monoply money, then everyone joining in with the host shouting - Secret and Lies.....

Do you think Dex was in on it and knew not to choose Gina or BB would have another contingency to get Gina safe if Dex had chosen her?

BB engineered? Of course, its manipulated to gain votes for cash, sway public opinion that can be used for election/propaganda purposes.

I honestly think the problem was that noone picked 50k or below. They wouldnt give away over 50% of the prize fund. So they had a backup plan to give a final pass to someone (as the housemates has previously refused the final pass)

I fully believe that if someone had gone low..they would have left.

It looked engineered to me. It would have been better if Dexter left with the money. Although to tempt a addicted Gambler with a gamble is a bit cruel.
