Have they ever closed voting that early?

I noticed it on the last Friday show. Within minutes of the HLs they shut the lines. Same thing they did on Finale. Ive been trying to remember if they have ever closed the voting that early ever during a finale. From what I remember they have never actually "closed" the lines that early but had always froze the lines to find out the 6/5th, 4/3rd place winners.

If they have please let me know which series, & Ill go watch the episode.

I thought it was odd that they didnt reopen the lines after each one was evicted like usual.

I have a funny feeling the whole thing was RECORDED again. Cos if you watched the first HL show of UBB I seem to remember something was a little off with the timings the claimed things happened. There is a little bell in my head ringing the new HM where not in at 10pm but sometime later.

Agreed phone lines where never closed seconds into the programme and where frozen and opened again. But it is just poss they didn't want to waste people's money as they knew that the public had no chance of changing the first position and they weren't too bothered about the lower placings.

It has never been live since CBB5 era and live shows are always on a min 15 min delay.

The only time I can remember was BB9's Luke's eviction, where they closed the vote lines before the Friday show itself (evening of Thursday?)
