Vote To Win

[Amy]

Vote lines are now open for who YOU want to WIN Big Brother.

Previously you've voted for who you want to leave the House, now you're voting for who you want to WIN.

The housemate with the least amount of votes to win will be evicted from the House in a special eviction night, this Wednesday, 4th August.

Then the remaining four will battle it out until next Friday.

So your votes are needed now.

Who's it to be? Who will go on Wednesday, and who will be victorious next Friday?

Whether Dan, Nadia, Jason, Shell or Stuart is your favourite they need your votes, so get dialing, texting, or pressing that red button now...

Why do we vote for the person we want to win.... why don't we just vote for the person we want to lose (i.e leave the house)

A comment from a New Zealand lady I'm talking to on the phone... right now.

Anybody have an answer.

I prefer it this way. Because you're voting for the person you most strongly support, not the person you hate. This means that, in the last week it's more likely for the boring nobodies (ie Shell and Stu) to go early.

If you think about it, the standard practice for voting is rubbish as it favours the fence-sitters. If you seperate housemates into 3 groups. The Luvems, Fencesitters and Hatems. Nobody votes for the Luvems if they're up for eviction as they want them to win. Everyone votes for the Hatems if they're up because they want them out. Fencesitters get an easy ride because nobody cares strongly enough about them to vote for them. The only time a Fencesitter is in trouble is if they're in one-on-one with a Luvem.

If I was running BB, I'd be tempted to have them all up for eviction every week and have people voting who they want to win each week. That way the people who provoked the strongest reaction in the public will stay in, and the boring ones will go in the order they should.

The only problem with that is, it takes the fun away from making the HMs nominate each other.

It's interesting that changing the voting system will favour Nadia.... it was left as it is now Dan would win.

Theres really no point me even voting because i want Jason to win BB but i know thats never going to happen so i think im going to save my money on this vote.

i want jason to win because hes a jungle cat, but i think hes messed thing up for himself lately :/, i still want him 2 win, but he has a 1% chance of winning, even that, like mike im not bothering to vote, to save my cash, cos nadia is deffo gonna win, like i said before, out of sympathy.
