Really???

[Delish_Babi]

Is it true that they set up shilpa winning because they didn't want to be racist???

[sarnieken]

oh please I hope not! That will just start another row and we'll bever finally hear the end of it.

[hollie1586]

i think people genuinely like shilpa! she was fab!
she is more of a lady than jade goody will ever be!

[NiceCupOfTea]

No - stop all of that right now. She won fair and square.

[story_teller]

my bro works for the press and he told me 100% was a fix
and in betting terms she was 1-10!! and jj was 9/2 now you tell me that aint a fix??

[4getmenot]

he works for the press, oh he must be telling the truth then :-)

[angelbabe]

I'm convinced it was a fix. I think chanel 4 were very clever in the editing and have made a fortune exploiting the three girls concerned.

Nobody is making any remarks about what Dirk said at the end of the show on Friday to Shilpa in the fact that the british are now a minority in their own country.

[NJOK]

Oh please.

She was the hot favourite to win for a reason. Bookies don't just pluck the odds out of the air. Everyone was betting on her to win. Which generally means a similar ratio was voting for her to win.

Or are William Hill and Ladbrokes in on it too??

[frankief]

Yes angelbabe, thanks for confirming, I thought I must have dreamnt it!
I remember watching BB late one night, I had had a few drinks, but Dirk was saying something like:
The average English family have 1.2 kids, 'they' have average 3.1 kids. Easy to work out that sooner or later, the English become the minority.
I went to bed thinking, he's probably right, but there will be one hell of a commotion in the media tomorrow.
But nothing! Free speech was allowed, it seems.

[starry eyes]

It is all a fix.

[anotheoldgit]

I cannot understand your reasoning NJOK.

Everone was betting on her to win. Which generally means a similar ratio was voting for her to win.

Surely, because we live in such a PC age, everyone knew she would win. But that does not mean everone voted for her to win, we will never know, we have only their word for it, so it could had been a set up.

William Hill and Ladbrokes obviously came to the same conclusion as the majority of us, when they set their odds.

The only thing I ever believe in any newspare is the date.
