The Scottish Vote

[Spike]

Do you think the Scottish vote helped John win BB:CH?

[SairBabi92]

Yes it helped Leon win the X Factor!

[molecular]

probly and the fact people feel sorry for him. him bein a unnattractive guy was a running joke through the series bbbm hosts joked about it hollyoak skanks ignored him people took piss out of his t shirt in the pool cause he chubby, so obviously he got the pity vote.

off intelligence, good housemate and niceness alone, no way he copuld beat amy in that contest. hed always come second to her but pity vote and scotch vote helped him win so ye i agree.

Well the others had the English vote, so alls fair.

But dont forget they had 5 people too vote for, spreading out the votes, not too only one housemate.

[MR.K!]

i think John won because he would have been the best winner... i know lots of english people who voted for john to win so alls good !!

[GiRTh]

Maybe, maybe not. I'm sure most scots dont just vote to make sure one of their own wins but then again Leon won the X-Factor.

[jellytots]

i didnt vote but if i did as a scot it wouldnt of been for the big man just cus hes a scot. like to think im a bit more deeper than that.it would of been 4 who added the best entertainment .:banana:

[Jake!]

I'm sorry to John fans, other that the first three days, what did John do or what did we see John do? Amy was the ultimate favourite to win, I've never seen so much support in someone, and they don't even come second, clear me up on this one... Please...

[Nicky.]

Yep... it helps every scottish contestants... leon as an example =)

[JeanP!]

Oh yeah!!

Who voted for him?? :conf:

[andybigbro]

Excuse Me!

I am Scottish and i Did Not vote for John.

And Emilia was English does that mean she had the English Vote?

[tinkerbell]

Stop finding excuses, and someone to blame. He won. mmkay.

[FictitiousHouse]

I think a lot of scots men and women would have voted for John, it makes sense really.

[JeanP!]

Women voted for John cuz he was in the top 2 with Emilia :bored:

[andybigbro]

Its not a Nationality Contest, It was about housemates winning a competition. My Favourite was Amy, and She was English, But if i said because she wasnt Scottish i wouldnt vote her. That would be silly, And if i said Oh Yay John is Scottish, I will vote him. That wasnt the case.

Also England Has about 10 x more population that Scotland, So this "They had five people to choose from" nonsense is a load of poop.

John Won - Fair and Square. Although i wish he had not, i dont think it was ALL the scottish voters. There were English People that liked him you know.

[Ashleee:)]

Of course scottish people voted for him, but i REALLY doubt that that is why he won. he got a very high percentage of the votes for there being 6 of them in there so he won fai=r and square. and it annoys me when people say that he wouldnt have won if he'd not won the free pass to the final. if that were true thenh he would have been one of the first to go on monday, and as it was voting to WIN thenh there must be a load of peole out there who love him. I was very sad that Amy didnt win :( but im over it.

[FictitiousHouse]

I went out of my way not to vote for John. He was the least likely housemate to win imo, but it just goes to show how wrong we can be on the finale night

[podge2007]

It played a part I'm sure, but it is hard to say how big a part. He probably got the sympathy vote aswell, like Leon.

Sympathy Vote? Because he is Scottish? I dont think so!

Why when someone Scottish Wins, there is always a excuse as if they dont deserve it.

Its rediculous and childish.

Sympathy vote because he is overweight and was ignored by the McQueen girls in the dating task not because he was Scottish. He may have got BOTH the Sympathy vote and the Scot vote, which are two separate things.

[Matt10k]

Why is it all ulterior motives with some people?! You aren't allowed to be fat and win anything in this country without people shouting “it must be because of sympathy”!!

I just think John won because he was probably one of the nicest and most genuine people in there but I’m sure the conspiracies will continue for some time yet :sleep:

I agree :thumbs:

Yes, but the English don't have the deluded impression that they're inferior to the other nations of the United Kingdom, and don't rally around together during reality TV competitions and use some false impression of "patriotism" to vote for their own kind, do they?

[Ashleee:)]

neither does scotland! We might be a bit more patriotic than some people but its just a laugh. Why cant people just accept that John won?? And i cant believe the Leon debate has started again .Get. Over. It. Please???

The only worse winner would have been Nathan. The two of them combined did less than any regular housemate I can think of.

[geoking66]

I think that people are thinking that it was the Scottish vote because Amy, Anthony, and Emilia combined had over 80% of votes on sites and the fact that John was bet to come in fourth.

I never said that they didn't. I think that people are just saying it because there was such overwhelming support for that trio that there could have been no possible way for John to win.

[Captain.Remy]

It may halped but not only scottish people voted. I mean Wales, Ireland and England vote too.
