I just mentioned this on another thread, the electric blue matched sams outfit or a colour that maybe lads might be more inclined to go for too maybe?

The biggest fix was them not telling the public what they intended to do before doing it. It could be completely innocent, but it leads to conspiracy theories. They could easily change the question depending on what envelope was picked by whom

The public was never gonna back her either ...not at this stage .. was a miracle she got this far ....why can't people accept defeat instead of keep saying it's not fair ...like little children....like Jack.....my fave was Harry...I'm gutted she went but it was her time...not in my opinion but i understand it....

It's true they could have easily fixed it to change the question. So if Sam got the lowest amount the question could have been "whoever you choose to go will take the money out the prize fund", so they pick Sam who is holding the lowest amount of money.

Do we know that was the plan though? No we don't. As much as I dislike the twist these theories are coming out of thin air and just seem to be an attempt for fans to justify their reasons for hating the twist.

I think Sam would have gone whatever amount she had in her hands. She arrived in the house late and naturally with the rest being originals they just won't have as big of a connection to Sam as they do with Jack and Chloe.

I don't even see why this is a problem, the show is over in less than a week, Sam seemed more than happy to leave, she's got Ł5k in her back pocket to take home anyway, and she was hardly the life and soul of the house or the highlights, so her loss isn't a massive blow to the last week.

I agree it's massively unfair but people are really overreacting.

Who gives a sh-t...Sam obviously didn't work hard enough or entertain enough to stay....If she had played a better game and there is such a thing as BB engineering twists to protect housemates or evict housemates then that would mean Marc was protected because he impressed BB and Sam was evicted because she didn't ... so it always comes back to the fact that she wasn't as good a game player as the other 6 remaining house mates...to win the show you have to fight 3 obstacles ...your housemates ...The public. ..and Big Brother ....

would think they asks the contestants all kinda question before they enter..whats your favorite food..who is your favorite band...whats your favorite color...

kinda lets them stack the deck if they make the envelopes different colors don't you think?

I think they had to sell off the TimeBombs so they could only use the envelopes

Everything about it seems like a plan to evict Sam. Especially the fact that they didn't mention what the twist was beforehand. I don't seem to recall them not letting the fans in on what was about to happen. I could be wrong.

The only reason why I think it's probably not a conspiracy is what was the point of getting rid of Sam? She wasn't going to win anyway. If it was Chloe that went, then I would be 100% on board with the conspiracy.

There was an episode of The Colour Of Money years ago presented by Chris Tarrant and one of the machines with money in was the same colour as Sam's eyeliner.

Such a ****ing fix

How exactly does a colour of an envelope determine a 'fix'? I'm failing to see the correlation here.

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

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

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.

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