Remember they even scrapped the charridy altogether last summer!

Voting doesn't make much anyway. During BB8 and 9 it was all for charity, between the 2 series' they only raised about £500k. Thats not even half of Davina's salary per series. I say 'only' because when you consider there were about 25 sets of public votes between the shows and the fact that voting figures hit 22m during BB7 ... noone votes anymore.

Dont forget they get one hell of a wedge from whoever sponsors the show, then advertisement placing in the commercial break, because its now popular advertisers will pay more to be placed in the breaks on the last few days.

There is a knock on effect that advertisers will pay more for placement during the summer BB series.

Dont tell me you wouldnt find it funny if the ground started shaking?

Oh yeah, what a hoot it is when you're wondering if you're every going to see you're family again, wondering if they're even alive under tonnes of rubble, you've got no food, no water, no home and no family! I don't know how you can say you "don't give a ****" because you'd damn well want somebody to give a **** about you if the situation was spun around.

Get some geography lessons. An earthquake is not happening in Ireland anytime soon. It's not just nature rolling a dice and throwing a fucking dart at a map, you know.

Well I have a mind of my own and don't need to have my conscience prodded by anybody else least of all overpaid bleeding heart celebs who could probably afford to fund the Haiti aid effort single handed if they wanted to instead of buying yet another Ferrari or mansion. I am perfectly capable of and willing to make charitable donations of my own volition and don't need wall to wall a*se kicking on every tv channel to do it.Jay-Z and Bono are two of the richest "celebrities" on the planet and if they make donations in secret, so what. They're not going to miss a million or two whilst the average person is struggling to get by on a daily basis but still manages to contribute what they can, without trumpeting it to all and sundry. I am left unimpressed by the sanctimonious posturing of celebs eager to jump on the bandwagon every time something like this happens

Good for you. But the concert still got more of the public voting than would have voted otherwise. Simple maths.
