why hasn’t Channel 5 got their head around free votes?
 

they want people to connect with the damn series yet expect people to pay 50p for a vote when they could vote on shows like Love Island 5 times for free, get money from the sponsors advertising to unlock more votes and then get extra money from the fans who want more votes
it’s such a logical state rather than this money grabbing **** they do now

The public are effectively funding their high cost (usually dire) celebs

Profit

I wouldn’t be surprised if hardly anyone votes like their viewership is pretty dire already

They can't afford like the other shows can

This

I'm sure they'd try but it's the least of their worries atm

Because they spend millions on celebs, redecorating the house, production and not to mention the contract for the show.

If they don't get the celebs people complain, if they don't redecorate the house people complain, if they charge a mere 50p to vote people complain.

Let's go back to bb12 when they had free voting it was full of youngsters constantly voting in bulk and didn't represent the nations opinion imo.

It's a tv show they need to make a profit at the end of the day it's been the same since day 1 18 years ago so why complain now?

preach

lmfao so they break everything else that doesn’t need fixing but when the show gets older and voting changes in like 90% of other programming we’re now behind in the times. BB12 had Facebook voting which still cost money lol
