Sorry, but I disagree with that. Yes, Siavash is contrived, but I really think that Sophie is being genuine.
Sophie's pretend drunkenness/friendship is not what I would call being genuine, Christine. Contrived yes, genuine no.
Also, the reason that Sophie didn't nominate, was not the for the same reason as Siavash. She was not trying to save herself. She said that she wanted to be up, because she didn't want Kris to be there at her Eviction Interview, which she knows that he definitely will be, if she leaves on Final Night, because all the housemates are there that night.
So your saying Sophie thinks Kris is only going to be on eviction night. Not what he told her, he told her he would be there whenever she came out.
Also, these nomination results were not rigged. BB didn't know who would be nominated when Charlie (the first one to nominate) went in the Diary Room and refused to nominate. They told him there and then I think, that he would be up for eviction if he didn't nominate, because that is what he came back and told the others. I think he thought that nobody was going to nominate, so they would all be up anyway. So that part wasn't rigged.
Then obviously, as Finchy said, Rodrigo must have nominated Lisa and David (which is what I thought he would anyway) and then Lisa and David probably both voted for Siavash and then one of them must have voted for Rodrigo and the other for either Sophie or Charlie. If they had both voted for Roddy, then it would have been everyone except David and Lisa up, but because they must have voted different for the 2nd person, it has made everyone up.
So, I really cannot see how that was rigged at all. It was just bad luck for Lisa and David that they voted differently. If neither of them had nominated Rodrigo, then he wouldn't be up, but it is just the way it worked out.
I did not say the nominations were rigged I have said BB are using the situation to save certain people and put others who have not broken any rules up for nomination, if the Daly Star peice is to be believed, that is.
