Big Brother (Celeb Hi-jack) contestant found out

Thought this story might amuse...

...reading through another forum there was even inconsistencies between the information published on the C4 website hosting (which he presumably told producers) and his own web host website hosting...

The company has been responsible for hosting 2 million website hostings for clients worldwide and Liam has 12 people working for him with a current turnover of £200,000.

Since its launch we have catered our solutions to individuals & SMEs from around the world and manage a network which hosts over 100,000 website hostings worldwide.

I guess the Big Brother researchers didn't bother to view the contestant's own website hosting.

I'll dig the WHT thread out later. We've been discussing this for about a week over there...

Yeh, thats it. I believe that the mainstream media, namely The Sun Newspaper have been contacted regarding this, though no-one is yet to print this.

Its all fake. Put a few idiots in a house together they all tell lies to win the game. I dont see what the big deal is.

[WelshTom]

I would of expected the figures to be the other way around.

£2mil turnover, with 200,000 clients, instead of 200,000,000 website hostings and only a £200,000 turnover.

Its interesting to read the thread how he use WHT forum to get an idea from the veteran members .This is called modern art, these people are nothing but swindler.

Talking of this programme, I have only watched it once for about 10 minutes, then I switched over. The last Big Brother with Brian as the winner (and other housemates) that was probably one of the best out of them all. Not really interested in watching it at the moment, but I saw an advert on E4 about the evictions. To be honest, why is it just on E4? I thought Big Brother was on Channel 4 as well? I mean, on the Sky programmes list, it takes 3 pages to get to E4 so I doubt if as many people are watching if you get what I mean.

This doesn't surprise me! If there researchers did there job they would a) get information right and b) not invite idiots on who get them into trouble (aka Jade Goody ).

[Brian]

I think they did do their job, and put him in there because it creates drama and people discuss it and watch the show maybe ? If they didnt put Chavs like Jade in there whats the point in watching it ? Theyre doing their job 100% correctly IMHO.

I meant with regards to general poor research whether it is something small like a mistake on figures or a complete cock up by inviting the wrong contestant on the show.

On the note of Jade (and chavs in general), the reason I thought this was a poor decision is because for the past 19 years of my life if I wanted to watch that I could just look outside my window - theres no need for it to be televised from fake house
