Should voting be limited?
 
Some people vote in really crazy numbers just vote somebody out but should voting be limited to a certain number per phone number so it does not get slightly out of control?

Sam 28-05-2007 12:14 PM

Nah i think people should vote as many times as they want :thumbs:

I actually think that's a good idea, because some HMs may have an unfair advantage depending on the personalities of their fans LOL... whether they're mad about them or whatever, but I suppose the actions of their supporters isn't really their fault. And for BB and the producers etc., they're unlikely to limit it because of the enormous amounts of money they gain from it, which is what keeps the show running and successful and all that.

Sam 28-05-2007 12:18 PM

I think its fair at the moment, the right people always seem to go, theres no dramatic shocks

I do agree that Endemol would not be too keen on the idea lol.

I think thats a good point Ash, some fans go out like crazy to vote for their favorites and its hardly the house mates fault there fans are voting like crazy for them

andybigbro 28-05-2007 12:22 PM

No i dont think it should if your crazy and want to spend a Million pound on Voting a housemate well then thats up to you

Sam 28-05-2007 12:23 PM

I agree Andy

~Kizwiz~ 28-05-2007 12:23 PM

Edermol wouldnt do this but I think its a great idea. Mass voting doesnt really give a fair view of how the public feel.

On another point, the media also play a massive part in public like and dislike.

If a Red Top backs a housemate you can pretty much guarantee they are safe and vice versa

Sam 28-05-2007 12:24 PM

Mayybe its fair but it just isnt BB

~Kizwiz~ 28-05-2007 12:27 PM

Sam, your right, BB will never change to this just like X Factor wont. They make huge profits on the calls. They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did

Sam 28-05-2007 12:41 PM

Like the rumour that voting would be free, ridiculous :tongue: thats throwing money down the drain

andybigbro 28-05-2007 12:41 PM

Yeah that rumour was soooo FAKE lol

Dan_ 28-05-2007 01:00 PM

Was that yet another daily moron star rumour?

Matt08 28-05-2007 01:02 PM

If you love a housemate you should be able to vote for them as much as you like!

Mike 28-05-2007 01:12 PM

I think limited voting is a great idea say 5/10 votes maximum per person, obviously Endemol would never even consider this though because they want to make as much money as possible.

Red Moon 28-05-2007 01:19 PM

Having limited voting as Mike said would help stop betting rings getting invovled in the show. :thumbs:

~Kizwiz~ 28-05-2007 01:21 PM

Never gonna happen tho.... too much money involved

Sam 28-05-2007 02:05 PM

Yeah your right

Fom 28-05-2007 02:10 PM

Big brother gets alot of its money through people doing multiple votes.
It wont happen.

Sam 28-05-2007 02:23 PM

it wont be limited and it definately wont be free :whistle:

bananarama 28-05-2007 03:44 PM

Unlimited voting does allow people to distort reality. As it is supposed to be a reality show threfore limited voting should be in place.......

Can you imagine a general election with the same voting rules as BB....:bigsmile:

chazwwe 28-05-2007 03:48 PM

no no no no:bouncy::bouncy:
