Sure they could have changed the question, but I don't know why Big Brother would want Sam out anyway.
Because.... just because....

i haven't even been watching but from what i gather i think you could argue it points to a manipulation...as i said..i'm sure bb knows their favorite colors..i saw a picture and sams envelope was even the same color as her dress lol...

sure u can argue sam was most likely to go..but what if she had picked only a 1000 and one one of the other 2 pick 15 000? would they have been tempted to go for the 15000?

fix or not...i certainly don't think bb is above using a little psychology to try influence who picked what envelope

One of the producers came to sam's bed at night and whispered to her ear"choose blue! choose blue!". Big Brother: Subliminal Trip.

Something tells me that people are looking too hard into this trying to find 'manipulation' that isn't actually there at all.

Because they know that not many people would vote for Sam in the final. More votes is more dosh for them. That's why they keep putting so many housemates up for eviction rather than just two. People, nowadays, are more inclined to vote for a certain person rather than voting each week between whoever is up.

They've got back more than what she is worth from stealing from the winner's prize fund anyway.

They were colour coded so Danny could remember where to place them on the table .Silver nearest Jack , Red to Chloe in the middle and blue for Sam

Its a great possibility.

I also looked at psychological influences. Sam was wearing a blue dress that matched the blue envelope. This may have been designed so that she was naturally drawn to this envelope containing Ł15K with the thought that this would likely see her evicted against Sam and Chloe and their corresponding Ł1K and Ł10K.

It's an interesting theory but I think Sam would have gone no matter what the question to be quite honest.

The twist was tacky and lacking tension but it got rid of a useless housemate so I don't really care

They did effectively. BB would know housemates favourite colours. They get to know everything about them before they enter.

They new which housemate would go for which colour. Classic Uri Gellar type mind reading fix.

So Tesco fixed the result. No wonder they are shutting stores. Can't get anything right..
