People are voting for who they want to win
People will always vote for the biggest characters, be they villains or heros
Frankie and trish have been boring so they've gone -no fix required

I'm surprised people still watch itShock

Tricia and frankie are sooooo boring though!
I couldn't give a monkeys if its fixed though, I don't waste money on voting do they can chuck whoever they want out.

It's incredibly unlikely that the vote is fixed. This is their biggest money spinner, why would they risk getting caught fixing the vote? The fine would kill the show. The producers don't care who wins, they just edit the highlights to get the most amount of coverage.
You wouldn't even know Frankie was there half the time, he was never in the highlights.

There are about 20 cameras covering 24 hours a day. They show about half an hour per night. They don't need to rig the voting. They rig what we see.

Also they can see who is and isn't being voted for each time so they can see what works and what doesn't.

Disclaimer - haven't watched it since the days of Helen and Paul.

Would it matter anyway? It isn't real life. It's just video wallpaper put on to keep you watching until the next lot of commercials.

what? you mean the BB where no one is allowed to leave the house until evicted (apart from the one who is leaving daily for rehearsals for another show)? Fixed??? OMG?!?!

Who? Who? Who?

As someone that worked in TV, yeah voting shows are fixed and scripted to a degree. I am surprised ppl call in for them.

It's been all over the place that Rylan (is that his name?) has been leaving house for XF tour rehearsals - I shouldn't be commenting really though as I've not watched BB for years now :)
