... the daily star?

Alternatively, Speidi have been joking about having a billionaire supporter and Tricia thought they were serious.

The release of this story makes me think that the votes were close between Rylan and Speidi during Wednesday's eviction, and this is an attempt to secure the win for Rylan.

I love a good conspiracy theory.

I posted the full story in the highlights thread but ....

if the housemates that have lived with them for 3 weeks dont know what is what with them then this story may be true or not 

what will be will be at the end of the day 

exactly ....  

"Someone has to find this billionaire and lock him up. He has to be stopped.”

That line really made me laugh. How very over dramatic.  He's (if he exists) dialing a phone love not selling children in to slavery.

Is it Richard Desmond?

The billionaire can waste his money in any way that he sees fit.

I'm not sure if that constitutes cheating - madness and bad taste, yes.

Absolutely.

But .....................the final nails in the coffin - bring in a couple of pros to act out a script. Give the rest of them bit parts as they try (or not) to foil 'the enemy' and then have someone with enough money to keep them in thus encouraging the public to keep phoning to stop them winning.

Manipulation left, right and centre. What a sad end to a great programme - it's gone downhill since Ch5 got hold of it ...............this is all a bit low though.

My theory is they don't really give a crap who wins, they just want to encourage more people to spend money.

Yes, that too, Kaffy.

Let's not forget that Dirty Desmond owns the Star and Ch5, so anything the Star says is playing to Ch5's agenda .... whatever that may be.

If you want a conspiracy theory consider this - dear Davina used to say '... the votes have been counted and verified and I can now tell you ....', whereas bumbling Brian intones '... the votes have been counted and I can now tell you ..'

Whenever I hear it I think 'the votes have been counted and we have decided that the next person to leave ....'

spot on Kaffy  

i'd also add that that's the reason I don't believe Spencer's moving speech last night.  I've not seen it all, but I did see him say he was paid to be a villain and he was doing what he was told to do, or words to that effect.   He may well be acting, but if he was told to 'act' by C5, I doubt very much they'd tell him to 'fess up to the voting public who have been voting against him, shooting themselves well and truly in the foot.

Good point Bursar

Although the cameras didn't pick up  any  comments in the subject form the Yankee couple, Tricia claimed they  also  bragged about the monetary support:

'Every time they were saved, Heidi would  smugly say to us, "That's the best thing about having a billionaire friend in  England.'

I wouldn't waste a penny on supporting those two. The hm's went in to experience being in BB. Speidi went in with the agenda Ch5 gave them and ruined the show. If they or C5 benefit from a contrived agenda BB will continue to go down the same route again. Anyone who supports it aren't true BB fans.

The daily star is a cheap comic.

TBF, it hasn't been the BB we knew and loved, from the moment Ch5 took over. 

As long as everyone realises that, I think they can support whoever they like.

How soon we forget the slatings we used to give ch 4 and were so made up when ch 5 took over..apart from lack of LF and hiring Speidi I've enjoyed BB....

Well said Yogi.

Does that mean he's fav to win?

I was made up when Ch5 took over because I (wrongly) assumed I was going to get the BB I loved. I also hoped I would get LF. I've been disappointed on both counts.

I have no problem with other people enjoying the show in its new format, but I think they ought to rename it because it cetainly isn't BB.

Glad you're still enjoying it though, Stonks.

You`re an honest and true lassie without any agenda Yogi. I`ve always admired you for it.    

You've got me blushing now, but thanks Scotty, I really appreciate it.

I don't mind change yogi we have to go with the times but I remember the first time we had no LF, it all started to look slightly scripted, I can't put my finger on it but something just looked wrong..I know zelebs don't like us to see them warts and all so I'm ok with that staying the way it is but the real BB with normal people should have LF and be as close to the old format of a social experiment as possible....

Absolutely - otherwise it isn't BB.

Do you think the billionaire Simon Cowell might chuck a few votes around

I guffawed there!
