Big Brother manipulates the show, and viewers, by encouraging disputes and meticulous editing.

Yeah, I think it's starting to look that way.
I think most viewers hated Shipla before the big Jade row. Then the press and Channel 4 made Jade look bad and made viewers feel sorry for Shilpa.
I think Channel 4 used Jade as a scape goat to fuel their falling viewing figures. When they realised how much damange they'd done, they booted Jade out and I thought that Davina and Dermot treated her terribly in their interviews.
On the other hand, Shilpa is now being shown as a fun-loving down to earth woman. Maybe she always was, but before the row with Jade, she did have a air of superiority about her, that made her less appealing. This has miraculously disappeared from our screens!
Also, Channel 4 are facing fresh race complaints about that jumped up little b*tch on Shipwrecked, who doesn't like black people and thinks slavery should come back!! I think Channel 4 are in hot water with these 2 complaints happening at the moment, so they're bound to manipulate it so that Shilpa wins and they can 'prove' they're a multi-cultural channel who have no racist opinions.

I think the results where real, cause if they wanted to fix it, they would have let Shilpa out, and not left her with Danielle and Jo.
The other reason why I think it's real is because BB's biggest audience is working class and read the Sun and News of the world, and both those two papers incouraged viewers to vote Jade out. The Sun even had the number that one has to phone to vote Jane out printed in big red letters on the front, so one only had to see the headline on the shelf in a shop and you'd know which number to phone. The shepard called, the sheep followed, and so the red tops shifted the vote of the masses.

The show is not fixed in the voting aspect,i think the viewers can make their own minds up,just by watching the show even if you watch the big brother live you could still see jade and co working a storm against shilpa.We saw how the public reacted by the antic that jade and the others did by calling ofcom so I'm pretty sure that it's the public voting and not the show setting it up.

Yes they do. But they will never "fix" it for a specific contestant to win. That would be illegal. Extortion via the phone votes. They can, however, as you suggest steer the vote in certain directions in the way you have described. But then, the popular press are doing exactly the same thing.

Yes of course it is a fix. They can edit the people they want to look either good or bad the same as any reality show. We never see the whole story.

total fix they say its a phone vote, true but who really knows the true outcome when the votes are counted, pop idol is the same eg michelle mcmanus won because she was fat and not the usual pop idol
