Apparently Helen got 100,000 votes

If true and there was just 1.2% between her and Ashleigh, combined the Top 2 got around 200,000, and I swear the whole of BB13 got less than half a million. No wonder they did what they did, the Helen/Ashleigh seemed to have made them a lot of money.

For BB on Ch5, 200,000 on two HMs is massive.

it's all about the voting revenue, it always has been :hehe:

Let's say they get at LEAST 15p. (I'm sure its somewhere between 35-45p)
100,000 votes = £15,000
So basically with the final alone they made at least enough to pay the winner! Plus someone said each week around 50k-75k votes are cast.

I am positive they get 35p-45p per vote.
A vote costs 50p.

in addition to the sponsor and the product placement and the adverts, but they can't afford live feed, even though they have a ready made channel in 5* to stream it though the night and morning :hehe:

Good old Helly Woo Woo

Helly Woo Woo makes her sound like a bloody Chihuahua.

I know!:shrug:

BB is on roughly 18 weeks of the year, give or take a week or two. Why don't they clear all programming for those 18 weeks of 5* and spend the cash on live feed then do repeats on programmes they already own from the US for the rest of the year?
