But I know C4's record on stitching people up.

The twins are going nowhere except in the BB house until day 94 !

It's not a fix, stop with that, their status wasn't cleary stated, both of them were confused. But I still think there is something in their contract or with Endemol and Channel4, because something like that had to happen earlier in the game, I recognise that.
Brian fans are gutted and say "it's a fix", life is unfair and the game is unfair, it's like that, the best wins.

Their status was made clear as they were able to nomo separately and be nominated seperetly. You say "the game is unfair", so we agree. It is completely unfair. BB have given the twins an even bigger advantage and now it's set in stone - The Twins have it in the bag. I wouldn't have minded if Amanda or Sam won as individual but not like this. And it's not cause I'm a Brian fan, Amanda is my second fave.

Personally I Cant See The Twins Being Evicted This Week, They Are Too Big A Personality! I Don't Think They'll Win, Especially Up Against Brian, But I Think They'll Make It To The Final All The Same! Big Brothers Intensions For Putting Them Together As One Housemate Were Obviously Just To Try And Up Their Viewings As It Has Been The Question On Many Peoples Minds Since Big Brother 8 Started "Will Sam && Amanda Be Evicted Together Or Alone"

If you are a fan of Brian, and the Twins are capable of beating him. In order to make sure he wins, you must get rid of the competition when you can.

If they are contender to take the crown from another HM if they reached the final, strategically you must vote them out.

Amy will be up next week, so the argument goes, why waste a vote.

This is what will happen

This is what C4 wants as Brian is the Chosen one

Look at past "Chosen Ones" (apart from Alex BB3) see the pattern.

The twins are history

hope so...

Oh noo I don't want the twins to go!

Already people have been told that if they are still around then Brian, the chosen one can not win. The legions of Brian fans are thus being mobilised to tactically vote them out.

The twins are now odds on favourite to be evicted this Friday, even if they were up against Amy

Sticks, your posts are often a little ... odd. But after a while you get used to it - the great British eccentric and all that. This time though, you've really outdone yourself. I'm not sure whether to cringe, or arrange a ticker tape parade so that you can show off your new clothes. Virtually every reply in this thread disagrees with you. Fair enough it's only a microcosm of the public, but it's a microcosm with a vested interest, and with a high percentage who are likely to vote from this evening onwards.

Lots of people like both Brian and the twins, and don't necessarily favour one over the other. There's very little evidence to suggest tactical voting ever plays a part in BB evictions, and it's even less likely when there are still eleven hm's left. People just vote for the hm they dislike most - it really is as simple as that. This whole notion of getting rid of the twins to ensure Brian a clear run is just nonsense. If anything it would make it harder for him, because Liam would gain a significant share of the twins' support if they were out of the race. The only vague possibility of the twins leaving on Friday would be because they faced new hm's who haven't got under enough people's skin sufficiently yet for them to bother voting. But as we saw last Friday every time Tracey's name was mentioned, people want the original hm's to stay over the new people. And the twins are a heck of a lot more popular than Tracey. It just isn't going to happen.

But why would C4 do this, if not to get rid of a threat to the chosen one.

I remember how in 2004, when Michelle was beating Nadia in the popularity polls, the chained task was set up and footage was done to make it look as if Michelle was insanely jealous. At the same time a vitriolic hate Michelle campaign was started in Cyber space with accusations of Bunny Boiler.

Why would C4 do this?

They wanted Nadia to win so they could have a nice "feel good" story line, and Michelle when her popularity peaked, got in the way.

Now Brian is the chosen one, so the twins have to go. Liam is next, all they have to say is "Be fair, Liam already has a hundred grand.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

[Captain.Remy]

Why would they Brian to win ? We had a lot of Brian before and we will have in the future. For C4, the twins represent a fresh new type of housemates: twins, crazy, entertaining, 2 winners at the same times. Their winning will be talked about days, I can't see how they will be evicted on friday.
The british public don't vote like that, it's how they feel.

[Loukas]

I DONT think brian will win now

go twins

twins all the way

[Captain.Remy]

Of course he won't, the twins are higher chances now because they are 2, all the Sam's and Amanda's fan will join in order to let them win.

[Loukas]

exactley lol

i hope they do win...

But if they have decided who they want to win, they make sure anyone who could beat them is got rid of. C4 has an agenda and sometimes they want to pander to the left wing intelligentsia, which is as far as I am able to say.

They have done this from series one

In one the chosen one was Anna, but events caused a boost for Craig

In Two, it was the first Brian and they succeded

In Three it was Alex, and they did everything they could, including character assassinations by the trained talking heads - they failed

In Four - They went for the clean image look, or were totally incompetent

In Five, the chosen one was Nadia and when Michelle challenged her for popularity, they did what they could to make her the most hated women in the UK, with internet character assassinations launched with very extreme biol.

Six - sorry sat that one out

Seven - Pete

This year it is Brian, and just to make sure, they are eliminating the twins.

Although i get what your saying about previous series of BB, I don't agree with Brian being BB's Favourite at all at this point, i'm not saying he isn't either, but one of the twin could have been equally BB's favourite to win BB8, but Brian was standing in their way, think about it before this for every bad point of being counted as one there was an equal good reason to be counted as one. We are not talking about one really liked twin & one hated twin here, they both have a very good, strong & loyal fan base, before their fan base votes would have been split, being more fare to the house mate they would be up against. As soon as the twins are up their fans will vote in force regardless of which twin is their favourite, 2 - 1 i just don't see anyone else standing a chance.

Hello ? On what planet do you live mate ? yesterday BB asked them if they want to be considered as one or 2 housemates. They have chose to be one and therefore they are nominated.

Alright! Alright! Sorry, i didnt realise they had got asked if they wanted to be one housemate or individuals, seeing that was only shown lastnight on the show. And i posted what i said yesterday.
And if someone had posted it was that or to do with the task, then i obviously didn't read it.
I odnt think they would go, there to popular, and i cant see the house without them. Brian and Liam would miss them aswell.

[sexy_leigh]

now that kara AND jonty iz up wid them the twins and sadly kara will go as it will probably be a double eviction and the twins are classed as 1 and jonty iz 3rd fav to win(don't ask me how or why lol) so BYE BYE TWINNIES!!!

It's only Maxwell House, I'm afraid. Yours is in the Amy mug.

Davina said nothing wrong about the twins, if all the housemates are up the twins won't be evicted.

[Sticks]

I did not say that Davina said something against the twins, but she did say something about the stakes being higher, which could suggest an extra eviction.

For some reason it did ring alarm bells

I just hope that Dermot will explain it better on BBLB.
