1.2% in the final vote between Helen and Ashleigh
 

:shocked:

So close.

Only 1.2% in the final vote.
 

1.2% of pure FIX :fist:

basically joint winners imo :love:

I now wish I voted a few more times for Ashleigh :( this will be a good thing for Helen though, I think she has genuinely learnt from the experience and has gone from being so hated to liked and winning. But Ashleigh should have won. Darn it. She is so beautiful tonight

Deserving top 2 and i think everyone expected it to be close

Tbh I think both Ashleigh and Helen learnt from this

I am fuming !!!!!

And ?

Oh my god, so aggressive. :idc:

Some people are interested in this sort of thing. No need to be rude

I would love to see the REAL voting results....:shocked:

They NEED to release the voting figures, PLEASE!!!

Ah, sorry, didn't notice you'd made a thread too! :tongue:

preach
i never understood why they don't. i get we have no live feed because they can manipulate the show how they want. but what's the harm in releasing the figures after the series is over?

It's okay, we're all excited. :tongue:

anyone think the producers actively used their own phone lines to vote for helen when they knew it was that close?

what sounds the better newspaper headline for such a tacky show "18 year old wins bb" or "rooney prostitute wins bb"?

I don't believe for one second the result wasn't determined before the show even started, I could be wrong but i just get the feeling this was constructed from start to finish

That better not have been at me :nono:

Precisely......needs to be revised asap:nono:

Not at you...but at the result!!

How on earth Helen's voting block could achieve this is beyond comprehension.....Channel 5 seriously needs to revise their voting process to reflect actual viewer preferences!

Ashleigh looked so hot tonight.

But where Ashleigh fans ****ed up was when they was voting for other Housemates when they really should've been just voting for Ashleigh.

I agree!

Emma was mocking comments like that on BOTS. :D

1.2% of 5,000,000 calls is 60,000 calls....not so close then huh!

....The point that i'm trying to make is that unless we know just how many votes were cast...we don't really know how close it was...and simply saying 1.2% is meaningless!
....for all we know, there could have been even more votes than the 5,000,000 that I plucked from the air at random...and Emma might just have been trying to make Ashleigh feel better?....well, you never know! :shrug:

You think 5 million votes were cast? :umm2:

I would think the voting numbers are probably more around the 250k or so mark, nowhere enar 5m :o

This makes me even happier tbh, the fact they were so close proves that they really were the best housemates of the series :clap1:

1.2% for a winner is still 1.2% more than someone else got.

I wonder how many votes that equates to?

And should i have lined CH5's pockets even more than i did in my effort to make Ashleigh BB15 winner?

Hmmm...

Exactly so. More money was spent by the public on Helen than on Ashleigh.

It really is as simple as that.

Ok, Helen got a pass to the final but if she was deeply loathed she would have come 6th. Not win.

The "sour grapes" contingent need to ponder long and hard on that. ;)

Unfortunately we never get that information and I think we should really.

However it was a very close run battle and well deserved top 2 placings in my view for them both,obviously I am pleased helen won but credit to Ashleigh, she took the result great and they really have been the stars of this series,for me anyway.
No matter how close the result,sadly there has to be only one winner.

I said that the 5,000,000 was off the top of my head...but do you really think that it would be that low??

I couldn't tell you just how many votes there has been for the last few years...and I know that the viewing figures have dropped since the 2004
final....but the voting figures from then were that 6,363,325 votes were cast during the 2004 live final of Big Brother 5. [Nadia's final]

...and I have of course, no way of knowing what today's averages are, but i've a sneaky feeling that the intense rivalry between the fans of the two main protagonists Helen and Ashleigh might well have driven up the figures this year.

....Don't you think that is possible? :shrug:

i dont think so lol

The viewing figures were lower than ever this year - it'll average 1.4/1.5m max. Shows like X Factor and Strictly don't even get that many votes... it'll be in the thousands. If that :tongue:

I dont really care, Helen won so the world is still the place I thought it was when I woke up today.........
