Uproar over new big brother stunt

[Alterate]

...But the Daily Star switchboard was jammed with calls yesterday after news of the latest stunt. And internet forums about the show have been flooded with messages from viewers claiming they've been swindled.'

'Maria Hedges, 26, of London fumed: 'It's a con. Some 37% of the public voted to get Nikki out three weeks ago. Now they're just doing this to get her back in.'

'Glen Hartley, 32, from Birmingham, said she spent £60 casting votes to boot Nikki off the show.'

People are realising that it is all a ploy to get Nikki back into the house and to promote her to the public for her up and coming show on E4. She got 37% of the public vote to be booted out and this is when all the housemates were up for eviction so that is alot of votes to get her out. Many people think that the producer's will go as far as fixing the vote to get her back in and maybe even win the elusive prize for 'a pay off' for using her in a new show idea. And they won't lose any money this way as somebody has to win the money so they might as well give it to Nikki so they don't have to pay her for her services on there new show.

But all the money off these calls to get 4 housemates back in is for charity... So its for a goodcause now.... I dont think whoever goes back in should be able to win...

What kind of moron, wastes £60 on voting some idiot out of a reality TV show?

Rich people that hate Nikki I suppose :p

[allykin]

s**** and why waste to get someone out a house.
Jeese i'd only spend a tener on getting someone out.
well probs not even waste my money on that ;l

[Kukuthebird]

nikki ftw.

:]!

[beth]

it's stupid. the show has now lost all credibility to me. it used to be fair, if you went, you went. end of. bringing nikki back just because she was good entertainment isn't fair. and what if grace gets voted back in and wins? she hasn't been there for like 6 weeks. eurgh. the only person i would have liked to seen to go back in is shabaz and he can't even do it.

[Alterate]

Heart FM just announced BB are in trouble with Ofcom after the lines have become jammed with people complaining about the BB twist. An Insider says this time they have crossed the line and it could have big reprocusions for the shows future.

[Seatherny]

Hmmm, they shouldnt be allowed to win

[JT-Fan]

Actually they said "AND ALL THE MONEY GOES TO CHARITY" but on the screen it said that 27p or something does and the other 25p or whatever doesnt (for the ex housemates to return) so its basically more money to charity not all.

[Frodo13.]

I only spend around 60p when voting...Yes, I only vote once as then, it is fair.


And all of Channel 4's profit goes to charity, but that isnt including the money your service provider gains. At the end of the day, its a TV show. You shouldnt be so sad to spend a huge ammount of money on VOTES for god's sakes! If you dont like what they do, then dont watch the show, simple!

O, and just to settle the score, this isn't a 'plan' to get Nikki back in, as this twist was organized months ago, as Sam let it slip that she might be going back in. And one last thing, can you belive anything you read in the Daily Star?

Grace wasn't at BBLB because she planned somthing else.. You think if it was planned that long ago she would of choose to judge some surfing contest over tying to get back on BB and get the 'fame' she craves so much? Wake up.

[Victimized]

Sam had an idea about this ages ago though because in a magazine she said something along the lines of "The housemates will be seeing me sooner than they expect and they won't know what hit them".

No it doesnt. O, have you ever heard of PR? And a little something called money? Perhaps the reason Grace was swayed from BBLB today :D


O, and please dont just SHOVE my statements to one side, its very arogant and rude.

Yu've got your opinon. I've got mine. You have to much faith in BB.

I know you have your opinion. Opinion is what the forum is about. I just dont like it when people do something like this


''Blah blah blah, so thats your theory in tatters''

Thats just compleatly pushing away somebody elses argument.

I get what you mean, but I don't if you get what i mean.:o lol.
But isn't the point in an argument, to push away the other person's argument right? ;)

Anyway.. Think about this one...

I'm looking at C4 BB fourm.. And I'm looking out how there calling Pete a fraud and what not.. Then I come across a poll about Nikki... This poll is a simple.. Do you want Nikki in the house.. 80 peoplke quickly reply.. 20 saying yes.. 60 saying no.. I leave the forum for a sec to post on this one, I finish posting on this one and go back to the C4 one.. I find that Pete being a fraud thread's stil there..But Nikki's has been deleted..? How is this fair it shows the corruption of C4 and how they are playing favriote to Nikki..

Yes.. Over all the housemates people want Nikki in but I've they had a choice they wouldn't want anybody in.

And the point I was trying to make was that people who work for CH4 have got there favriotes and are acting it out by deleting one thing and not the other.. Basically it's a small bit of proof that there just doing this to get Nikki back in.

Of course they want Nikki in, she is entertainment!!! But as I said earlier, I belive this was planned way before Nikki was evicted, as Sam let it slip.

[Alterate]

When did 'sam let slip' and how do you know about it?

She is meant to of said it around the time she got evicted. I heard it off someone on this forum and off a BB fansite, which 99.9% of the time, they are correct. They knew about both double evictions before the rest of the public did. Here is the link to page on the site, its near the bottom

So you won't take somthing when it come's from the sun (the sun is the daily star's 'sister' paper) but you'll take it from a fansite.. If u think about it there both the same... The sun has been correct about some of the eviction's and leaked some of the tasks and this twist before anyone else aswell... Evrey body lie's sometimes.. Maybe it's all just a funny coinsedence.

Also heard it from a seprate BB Forum. What are the chances??? And those fansites are chosen by Channel 4.

Dermot just said 'IF the housemate's choose who go in..' Big brother changing the goalpost's yet again? Scared Nikki might not be voted in if left to the housemate's to decided? Guess will find out tomorrow..

i guess we will.

[Frodo13.]

If we choose who goes in? How will we vote to evict? Unless there is a twist to do with that.

[Jim Rotates]

so what if they changed a fundemental rule for a once-off thing? like i know it's against the bb method but it is obvious their motive is to get nikki back in cos the ratings dropped quite a bit since she left and good on them, nikki made bb this year, whether you loved her or were in the minority and hated her, you can't deny she was head and shoulders above everyone in entertainment. and also;;


Rule 14: Big Brother reserves the rights to change the rules at any time.

so what are they really doing wrong? they can change the rules at any time.

did you ever think someone would be better than victor in the diary room? i for one thought it was impossible to top his rants but this year proved me wrong.

nikki is my favourite female contestant and probs my joint favourite hm with brian from bb2.

[iluvben]

We vote who goes into the house till tonight , then we start evicting the nominated housemates from tonight till friday , then after the live eviction the housemates vote on which ex-housemate they want to join them for the final week.

The Sun are so hypocritical. Just the other day they had a article begging people to vote back Nikki.


But I don't think Ofcom will find a crack in Big Brother's shell, as Big Brother does have the power to change the fundamental rules at any one time.
