Lol ruddy youth of today and all that codswallop.

For some reason I just don't believe they knew for sure they were going in, however, I think certain things have been fixed in the past such as Latoya Jackson's private bedroom in CBB6. Never has BB carelessly left the bedroom unlocked on launch night yet she walks straight through it, opens another unlocked door, and there's her bed! Cheeky mare

All the usual suspects rushed to BBs defence then, as well, "it wasn't fixed, anyone could have had the private bedroom" Yeah right, anyone could have been first in and gone straight to the table where the note about the beds was and just walked straight to the Private Bedroom (although in theory she had NEVER been in the house before!!

As I said, Yeah, right!

Quite simply BB always unlocks the bedroom once every HM is in and Latoya was first in.

I think the Golden HM in BB7 wasn't a fix but thought it strangely odd Susie was a stand-in HM for BB5, I can see where the conspiracy theories could arise from.

But Mario being an actor just because he's the only gay sounds a bit desperate. BB1 had no gay male HMs, BB3 and BB4 didn't have any gay HMs at all

dumbass ******

I dont really care, its probly fixed every year, you always notice that the people who go in the house have been on the telly/reality tv before.

Or in the guniea pig trials. Imogen BB7 was in the CBB4 guinea pig trial run

They genuinely wanted one random HM from the larger group. Its not like they didn't select the 80 potentials themselves so they weren't getting a complete randomer.

And TV companies are paranoid about fixing things these days so I doubt they'd risk it for no great benefit. Just no need.

It doesnt matter if it was fixed as this was not something that the public got to vote on and so no monies crossed hands. The ombudsman would only be interested if the public were part of fraudulent behaviour..this clearly isnt as BB production can choose just about whoever it likes in whatever way it likes, as long as they dont involve the public in deceit.

What surprises me is that some on here actually believe that it wasnt all just a typical BB staged theatrical hogwash. Duh.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Well i may not put commas where appropriate but atleast i can string a sentence together which actually makes sense.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

And i love how people are like talking as if THEY know for fact it was a fix.

The truth of the matter is NOONE knows for fact.

So duh to you all

[fruit_cake]

they should just pick 14 random people from the street...

'you want to go on big brother??'

'erm... ok!'

why do they choose who goes in? i don't like that at all.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

They do pick people off the street to goto auditions

[fruit_cake]

auditions for what reason? just stick 'em in the house

In BB1 it was pretty much like that, but they just wanted normal people that could be interestign and entertaining for 9 weeks

BB2-3 were deliberately picked to 'up the ante' after the Nasty Nick drama so BB could be more like a soap opera

BB4 was 'back to basics'

BB5 was like a soap opera on crack

But BB6-10 were blatant attention seekers, fame hungry wannabes etc

I think BB11 is msot like BB5. The HMs are still abstract and picked to be entertaining but nowhere near as loud as the BB6-10 lot

[daniel-lewis-1985]

You cant just "stick 'em in the house"

Number 1 they need to see howthey react with other people and get to know them as characters to see if they would be good tv

And number 2 they could be rapists or murderer

So your idea fails

[daniel-lewis-1985]

And BB1 wasnt like that either. They advertised in newspapers and online and auditioned thousands of people before eventually picking the final 10

they could still be rapists and murderers anyway.

Obviously it was a social experiment so the producers had to consider who to stick in the house based on how HMs would interact (and that's why Ruth Wrigley deliberately didn't want to put black people and Nazis in the same house) but generally speaking, it was early days and so I think the BB1 HMs were average people you could expect to see on the streets.
And although there were audition processes, again, it was early days, no one knew what to expect from the show so it was pretty much trying to whittle down willing participants who seemed naturally entertaining

[janaddy86]

I didn't hear the convo the OP is on about but by the sounds of it and his post, he is clutching at straws!

[sophieyk2]

The housemates are hand picked by BB in order to have some conflict in the house. The only thing I didn't understand is why they dragged 80 people down to the show when they knew exactly who was going in. Seems a tad unfair unless they were all in on it - that seems logical. Mario's entrance would have been more credible if the tombola box was see through and they proved that there were other names in there. Somehow, I think Mario was meant to go in. He didn't struggle with any of those tasks as the 'Mole'. Still great fun to watch.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

He means actually pick people off the streets not have average people from the streets theres a difference.

And fruit cake they go through a rigorous audition process an have loads of physycological tests before they make it in the house in order for the producers to get rid of anyone unstable or phsyco so no its not the same as getting randomers off the streets

I guess we're supposed to assume the first 13 were already picked and 14th genuinely could have been any of the other 86. Maybe Mario was just genuinely godo at his task, and picked at random, and that woman standing behind the tombola on launch night really did ensure there was no fix. However, my only concern with if Mario had been evicted is, why wasn't Saturday's show live? And why wasn't Davina on hand to interview him in case he did leave? I can't remember if Davina was on stand by for when Kinga left the secret garden but she was there for Jonathan's interview in BB7 and the night Chantelle could have been evicted from CBB4

[Alpertinator]

Wow conspiracy theorists really get carried away huh?

Ever think of this - Rachel told her friends she was going into the house, meaning she probably was, she could be. Maybe stating it with determination that she was. Being positive.

Also note the genuine shock and surprise of people when they were picked. Can people not accept that for the first time ever the short listers found out at the same time as the viewers? It is actually a possible thing to do. It... is... not... impossible.
