Is voting pointless?
 
The Children of the Damned are hot favourites to win.
Is it a waste of money to vote?

Niamh. 05-09-2011 10:24 AM

Yes, don't bother :idc:

Always full of such a negative outlook to life. If you don't vote you can't complain if they do win.

For once I thought it was a very positive view :laugh:

karezza 05-09-2011 10:29 AM

If the last 2 are The Children of the Damned v Kerry then I might vote for Kerry.

King Gizzard 05-09-2011 10:30 AM

Good on you Karezza

karezza 05-09-2011 10:32 AM

Kerry is the only housemate who can defeat The Children of the Damned.

King Gizzard 05-09-2011 10:33 AM

Kerry to win then

Kate! 05-09-2011 10:34 AM

Given the choice of Kerry and Jedward, I would vote Kerry as the lesser of two evils.

Yes it is a wast of money trying to avert the nursery babies from winning. Simple reason is that there are a vast number of CBB viewers of similar mental age to the immature twins. CH5 version of BB has drawn in an even larger younger and or immature audience than CH 4 did in its later years......


Don't wast your money on a childrens program edited for children....

chuff me dizzy 05-09-2011 12:06 PM

Th damned twins will not win ,and an old saying "If you dont vote,you cannot complain"

Backward fans are majority 15 and under, £5 credit on their phones ,mobile votes cost about 80p so they wont be voting

Jedward ...... http://i2.listal.com/image/1485468/6...screenshot.jpg

Zippy 05-09-2011 01:42 PM

from what I can see the only people who care enough about this series to bother voting and wasting money are school children. So in that respect Jedward have a clear advantage.

but I suspect the voting is lower than ever. Theyre not exactly an inspiring cast.

Jordan. 05-09-2011 02:00 PM

I heard theres 1% between Jedward and Bobby, keep voting for him.

Pyramid* 05-09-2011 02:44 PM

I truly believe it is: becuase when BB see the polls not favouring their chosen ones that are in flavour that particular week: they change the rules to suit and to their advantage - and not to the voting public's advantage.

It's one of the main reasons I do not vote.

well I don't think this applies when you have to pay to vote. I don't care enough about any TV show to spend money. And Im certainly not rewarding ch5 for a sh!t show.

but hell yeah, Ill still complain if Jedward win. It's called opinion.

jtalh2003 05-09-2011 02:51 PM

not going to vote on what is effectively a scripted soap now

I think given the past tricks that BB have used: eg: in bringing Nikki back into the house with a 2nd chance to win: proves you wrong.

Remember the outcry from everyone who had spent money voting to get Nikki out....only for BB to pocket the dosh, stick their 2 fingers up to the BB fans, the voting public - by bringing her back in again and to hell with those who'd spent good money to get shot of her ..... leaving voters to have to spend more to get her back out for a 2nd time.

Harry! 05-09-2011 03:27 PM

I have voted a few times this series.

Joe. 05-09-2011 03:33 PM

There is NO point voting!

Have to say it.

Jedward have won it.

On Twitter on friday night 'CALL09016161704JEDWARD' or something like that was tending for like an hour and a half worldwide. :S

Lies

If you really don't want Jedward to win then Kerry is the only one to vote for. This is where Jedward haters have to get tactical.

assuming you're even arsed enough to vote.

Locke. 05-09-2011 03:50 PM

Yeah I have just got off the phone with a very reliable source who works at the studio and helps count up the votes, apparently things are VERY close between Bobby and Jedward, but Jedward are just scraping ahead. So make sure, if you do not want Jedward to win, that you vote for Bobby.

Wizardmerlin 05-09-2011 10:47 PM

It's a joke that you have to pay money to vote, if it goes to charity then that's ok but i dont think it does so count me out.

That means nothing you can only vote in the UK. Heard somewhere about huge trending in Germany and Sweden and a huge multi million votes for Deadwood non of which can happen.

keithafc 06-09-2011 12:13 AM

Yes. Jedward probably won this 2 days ago. Its over imo.

I didn't like that either,that was as you say a kick in the teeth for the people who had voted to get her out.


As to is there any point in voting, I do vote and heavily if someone is in that I like a lot,but I know people who watch it and never vote and that's fine.

It's an option to vote if people want to and not to vote if people don't but whether they vote or not they all still have every right to complain and moan at the winner if they've watched it or followed it in other ways.
