The reason why facebook voting was pulled.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I read this from Big Brother Extra on twitter. Apparently it has been hacked! Previous housemates have been evicted unfairly! Omg! :eek:

[GiRTh]

Proof please.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Proof please.

It's a rumor. I read it from Big Brother Extra on twitter. I wonder if it's true! :shocked:

[Marcus.]

oh if it is oh dear

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

oh if it is oh dear

I don't know, but if it's true it's not fair! :(

[GiRTh]

If it is true then I have to say the Lauren eviction did seem a bit fishy.

[Marcus.]

and chirs. i liked chirs

[Roy Mars III]

dubious

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Yes, and it would explain why Aaron went over Conor. I always thought that was weird! :conf2:

[Suze]

If it is true then I have to say the Lauren eviction did seem a bit fishy.

I doubt it's true, but yeah, that one would make sense as to why she was evicted over LukeA I suppose, when she seemed much more popular at the time than LukeA. However, wouldn't they have noticed sooner if there was any hacking going on?

[Yayita]

That would explain Laurens eviction

[In the Drunk Tank]

So that's how Deana has been topping the vote

I always thought she would survive against Luke A. She was way more popular! :suspect:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Yes, this could be true! But who knows? :shrug:

[Suze]

So that's how Deana has been topping the vote

:laugh2: I think that only works when an unpopular housemate suddenly gets loads of votes, not an already popular one ;) Nice try though :joker:

[Roy Mars III]

would not surprise me one bit

[Jarrod]

Oh my god. -_- Will Big Brother Extra ever stop?

The FB Voting has closed because this week saw some problems with the application.

[AshesonMars]

True or not, I don't see why they bother with FB anyway. It wouldn't be that difficult to hack. Why not just leave it with phone voting?

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

There's a video on youtube that shows how to do the hacking. Basically you can generate unlimited credits. :shocked:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Here's the link to the article: http://t.co/nNSaKfvp

[Jarrod]

Even so, that's not really a hack. Hacking means getting into the system doesn't it?

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Someone found a way to generate unlimited facebook credits for free. Not sure how to call it, but i'm really shocked by this! :eek:

[Jordan.]

All of the eviction results have been pretty much predictable imo so I doubt it's true, oh and the fact it came from bbxtra means it's definitely not.

Quite shocked someone got there before Chuff tbh

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

But there's a video on youtube showing you how to do it. And judging by the comments it really works.

[Lwize]

Conor and *******igh fans are smarter than Caroline fans?
Doubt it.

[Tregard]

Nope. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvdf5n-zI14)

[JamesBond]

Big Brother getting hacked yes, Facebook really?? Now Mark Zuckerberg does have questions to answer.

[jackc1806]

the video wasn't the bb application, i think you have to purchase in app and not just general fb credits

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

The video shows you how to get unlimited facebook credits.

[jackc1806]

not on the BB app?

[jackc1806]

its extremely unlikely that someone has hacked the credits to vote on bb; most are used for games like farmville ect

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

not on the BB app?

I don't know. The clip was posted on twitter by Big Brother Extra. Apparently it allows you to multiply your credits. I was reading through the comments and it sounds like it works.

When I bought credits last year; due to the 7p charge (haven't bothered this year) I had to pay in app. All the comments are from all over the world; I highly doubt this hack has affected BB at all and I reckon its just BB Extra trying to start rumours.

It sounds genuine. But now we'll never know for sure if it works or not.

[Marc]

Oh lord, why do fans go to such depths to try and find reasons as to why their favourites were evicted.

Uploaded in Feb 2011; could have affected last years but seriously no one will bother hacking Big Brother. There were like 300000 votes cast last year, probably less this year

I made the thread, because i thought it was an interesting article. That's all. I have no idea if it's true or not. :)

[Marc]

No no I wasn't referring to you Vamessa, I meant the people who started the rumour

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Ah, ok! I think that's Big Brother Extra! :hugesmile:

[dyfed]

Funny it's been discovered now when the two most disliked are eligible for one to get a free pass to the final and the other a nice pay out...I say put them all up and let the chips land where they may....

[Cherry Christmas]

I am wondering if it will impact on the votes tonight, will people who ordinarily vote by FB actually pick up the phone, so easy to vote while sitting at your pc especially if at work, a bit more difficult to dial in.....if Deana and Luke A are bottom 2 we will have our answer...:bawling:

I wonder that too! I hope Deana stays! Becky needs to go! :xyxwave:

[billy123]

All any of this proves is that C5 have done the right thing by pulling the plug on facebook votes.
It does work by the way and has done ever since the inception of FB credits ;) but i expect the avenue will be closed quite soon due to the sudden publicity and the loss to FB of probably a very good customer in BB.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Yes, absolutely. But i do wonder how long it has been going on! Since last year maybe? :conf:

300,000 votes cast for the entire series??

I remember BB5 when Michelle got 1.5million votes to evict

[billy123]

Yes, absolutely. But i do wonder how long it has been going on! Since last year maybe? :conf:oops sorry i updated my post after yours it has been around since day 1 of facebook credits which is before BB votes but both the people who have known of it and the creators of the apps that use it have kept it under their hats for good reason on both sides but once a TV show is involved it has turned it into a different problem and one that C5 and FB now have to sort out.

I honestly dont think the scale of it would have ever affeected any bb vote but the second that C5 suspended FB voting at 6pm last friday i thought oh oh here we go.

[HBB1508]

I voted via FB last year as it was so cheap but it took absolutely ages to get it done that I ended up giving up. This year I just use the phone it's a lot easier, for me anyway.

[mkbb]

It may be true actually. I remember someone putting a £2000 bet on Lauren leaving on the Thursday despite Luke A being favourite. People may have been hacking the system and the betting on the manufactured result to make a profit.

Imagine how many people made money with this! On betting scams! :eek:

[Nedusa]

Pretty Serious if proved true , would mean last remaining bit of credibility BB has would be flushed down the pan. Would result in major financial loss for channel 5 as all voting would be null and void and all FB stakes would have to be re-imbursed , which in turn could mean certain end for BB franchise.

What an absolute farce......!!!!

If it's true i'm surprised the show didn't find out about it earlier. Unless they were in on it! :suspect:

[Munchkins]

Thanks for posting this tbh Vanessa:hugesmile:
if this is true, how bloody disgusting!
i'd even be disgusted if this is how Deana survived against Lydia (I know that sounds silly) or even more so how Luke A survived against Lauren
Facebook voting was a farce from BB12, gave too much power to 1 individual
:nono:

Wonder why they have the like/dislike turned off.... :idc:

I know! I really hope it's not true! Why do i have the feeling the show already knew and did nothing to stop it? :(

[Sophiee]

If it is true then I have to say the Lauren eviction did seem a bit fishy.

I agree. luke a did get good edits up until for that week, however lauren appeared to have a much stronger fanbase.
