Fix Brother

Somehow, I think we've been here before.

In Mick Foley's second autobiography, Foley is Good : and the real world is faker than pro wrestling, he has a running joke throughout the book where each chapter conveniently segues into claiming that something is faker than professional wrestling.

I'm not buying this 'reality TV' thing. I never have, to be honest.

How can Ulrika Jonsson, an outsider throughout the entire series of Celebrity Big Brother, walk away as winner on the same day she was listed at prices of nearly 8/1?

There's some shenanigans going on here. I don't know whether it was an inside job or that there was some other parties involved in a betting sting. There is just no way a person at those odds would walk away a winner.

Betting firms are always clued in with the consensus opinion and Verne Troyer was the, pardon me, short-priced favourite throughout three week run.

I bet there will be complaints filed on this result.

The crowd were angry, too. They were shouting 'fix'. She even made a note herself that it could have been worked.

Judging by my reaction, you'd probably think I had placed a bet on it and lost. I can thankfully say I wasn't that naive.

'Reality TV' really is faker than pro wrestling.
