This and the only reason they manipulate it is to get more money out of us from voting - it's is a business at the end of the day.

I don't think this series has been as bad as some of the others.
Like, BB11 Josie's series was quite fixed imo.

The very fact that BB can change rules at any time means that it is always fixed.
1 hour highlights means we have no idea what these housemates are like. Therefore it is fixed in that we can only vote based on what we are shown. If we are not shown a housemate apologising for something they have done we will have the wrong idea about them.
The week Lauren went was a definite fix. Who would dare nom Connor face to face after the rage when he found himself nominated in secret? this meant he was not up against Lauren.
It is obvious that someone in the BB team wants Connor to win. Sorry to repeat this but in previous BBs he would have been sent home.

I don't think it's a fix in that they don't care who wins, but I do think they manipulate situations to get more people voting.

- Becky;s bitchy comments never discussed and confined mainly online
- Hardly any recognition of Deanas popularity on BBOTS
- Facebook goes down week fav no1 deana and no2 luke a HMs are up against weak opposition
- Changing White Room leaving instructions from you leave when you want to one HM must leave and decided amongst Luke S, Conor and Sara just as Sara wavers
- Only showing Beckys sisters nomination on BBOTS preview
- Not allowing Deanas friend to discuss Conors rant
- Emma telling Kirk he'll see Deana on Friday
- lines re-opened 2x to ensure Caz went
- Deana getting the first night nomms role - never rang true
- White room fiasco (initially how it was chosen it was least nommed HM in whole series, then got change that week, unclear rules eg.whether it was for 25,000 GBP
- Week 7 Face to Face nomms - who has the guts to nom Conor. Just Deana

Seriously all this ****'s ridiculous. Becky's sister's nominations were only shown on BOTS because of the amount of drama that came from it. BOTS is a show to discuss the biggest recent events, and that was the biggest recent event. There's nothing rigged about it. Emma telling Kirk he'll see Deana on Friday was no sort of rigging, you're clearly just grasping at straws.

The lines getting reopened to ensure Caroline went is bull****. If they wanted to get Caroline out so easily, they would've just kept the nominations Deana/Luke A/Caroline.

Face to Face noms weren't rigged just because "people are intimidated by Conor" or whatever your argument is. Just because some people don't have balls and doesn't mean that's why Luke A and Lauren were nominated. If you haven't noticed, the Insiders are very good at block voting. The Outsiders suck at it. This is what led to nominations like Benedict/Laura, Lydia/Deana, and Lauren/Luke A.

Altogether, all these accusations of how C5 is rigging this for the Insiders are absurd and bull****. The Insiders have been getting complete **** edits and the Outsiders have been given generous edits. If C5 wanted to rig it, wouldn't it be the other way around? And when people talk about rigging nominations, nobody ever talks about Turf Wars and how that helped the Outsiders. Turf Wars were certainly more manipulated than face to face noms, but nobody ever wants to admit that.
