corky20 · 05-09-08, 10:21 PM

Bet my mate £5 Rachel would win, he was so sure Mikey would win!

Glad she won, she deserved it!

**claire80** · 05-09-08, 10:27 PM

she didnt really do anything though for the entire show - she wasnt bad but she was just boring imo

barcelonic · 05-09-08, 10:44 PM

yea but she's a great role model. in real life its better to be boring yet nice than to be entertaining at other people's expense - and a lot of the young people watching don't know the difference between reality and reality tv

every year i think the most deserving winner is whoever's the nicest, and if they happen to be entertaining thats great.

personally i am entertained by watching nice people, and i'm less entertained when housemates are upsetting each other. but that's just me. it takes a stronger person to be nice. anybody could pick on ppl the way Rex did, but when people do that it usually stems from insecurity.

plus+ i've never seen ANYONE recieve such a hard time for being so sweet! to me it beggars belief!

if u haven't yet guessed i am Welsh, and i can tell you there ARE people as nice as her, i've met quite a few

She wasn't that bad, towards the end she came out of her shell and interacted more, she wasn't that boring.

Plus she had alot of stick from people like rex, nicole etc and for that alone deserved the win, anyone else would have gone back at them but she kept her cool and was the better person for it.

well said!

it's funny how the same thing can be seen so differently by different people:

"sitting on the fence"
"being the better person"

they are exactly the same, but in my eyes sitting on the fence is called being civil

people who refuse to sit on the fence think it's a positive thing but they just end up causing trouble and/or upsetting people

Some of the stuff that happened with the votes etc... im sure its fixed to keep the viewers attention..

The statue task where rex became head of house and be emune from nominations was fixed, as devina mentions rex had a suprise a few days before it was aired, but the suprise was for the week after, so he had to be in there for it...

Other than that, what else has been fixed?

very good point i might add

barcelonic · 06-09-08, 09:32 AM

i don't think it's fixed exactly but BB producers know how to manipulate the vote. that's how they made Rex more popular toward the end etc..
their goal was to try and make the final as close as possible and it worked this year, although would have been quite close anyway
