I have voted in the past but only at the final stage, i.e. for the winner.

I suppose many will wait to see who gets to the final before parting with the pennies, and that the final then sees a surge in votes and favourites changing in the betting even.

Why are you not allowed to vote now though? I really don't understand why not :conf: If you are allowed to watch something on TV, then you should be allowed to vote, surely?

InOne 04-09-2011 12:28 PM

I guess they just don't like the Irish

I've never quite understood (or bothered to enquire to be honest),why that is the case- that you aren't allowed to vote.

Seems pretty crap to me that they are happy to allow people to view but not vote? What is the reason behind it?

Suze 04-09-2011 12:33 PM

Well if it was up to me I'd let you all vote :) When I went to Ireland for a couple of weeks, I found them amongst the loveliest, friendliest people yet when I have ventured anywhere for a holiday. Mind you there were so many sheep there all walking about, all over the roads also :o :D

chuff me dizzy 04-09-2011 12:44 PM

I couldn't stand Josie, but each to their own, and you got the winner you wanted through voting so good for you that your votes helped :)

Haha.. I remember voting for someone on your behalf.. can't remember who, probably Siavash.

Never saw the point
I'd never make a difference:laugh:

I used to vote a fair few times each week. I liked feeling 'involved' somehow, even though I knew my votes didnt make much of a difference. Then they put Nikki back in after she had been evicted, and made her eligible to win. Since then I can count the number of times I have voted in an eviction on one hand, as it became quite clear that if things didnt go their way, they would just be total dicks about it and ignore what the public wanted. Im still susprised nothing came of that because IMO they scammed money off people.

I usually throw a vote to someone in the final though just for the sake of it :)

I liked Nikki but found it amusing how some people still hold that against her when it was the producers decision overall to do it, even though she had been voted out. They did cop a lot of criticism for it but some people still thought it was Nikki's fault too:conf:.

Have never seen anyone blame nikki for the producers ridiculous decision, so cant comment.

Ramsay 04-09-2011 04:58 PM

They should of just put her in but not let her win like they did with Tickle

Yeah, this would still have pissed me off a bit...as I REALLY couldnt stand her, but it would have made the whole thing much better. The fact that she was eligible to win was just a total joke. Glad the public made sure it didnt happen :hmph:

I didn't like Nikki much in BB7, I was a big Pete fan. But a little while after that BB, I did a complete turnaround on both of them. I think although I ignored it at the time, I wasn't too happy with Pete's disregard for Nikki once they were out the house. I like Nikki now, and can't stand Pete.

Jon is one of my favourite BB housemates ever, along with Ben and Dan. I don't think they should ever let housemates back into the BB house though, not even now, when they let them in for tasks.

Strangely enough: I liked Pete and not Nikki in the house: and like you: after they left: I found my preferences completely switch around. In fact, I liked Nikki even more when it was very obvious that she knew she was a wee buggar and just laughed at herself. That actually endeared me to her. (as well as years later, seeing her in the flesh and seeing how tiny - in all ways, she really is).

Yup. Ex housemates back in is a massive no-no as far as Im concerned.

Heck, even guests is a big nono for me.

I even disagree with putting newbies in(I know thats not a very popular opinion though)

Glad you cant vote !! :colour::hello::bouncy::banana::cheer::kiss:

I spent £70 evicting the whining mare, only for her to be put back in :devil::devil::devil:
