WOULD IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF YOU KNEW?
 
ok, IM thinking what if we knew the results? I know it sounds mad, but if they showed us updates eg the person who will go or where voting is on a daily basis, would it make the votes change towards or agaisnt?

Eg most people dont vote, would they if they knew who was going would it make it better or worse? would it change the outcomes?

I don't think that it would change the outcome of the vote (unless it's very close to begin with) but I do think that it could close the gaps when the percentage of the vote is massive.

It would probably have more of an effect when there's lots of people up, because if your favourite was currently most likely to be evicted, their fans could group together to vote for whoever had the second most votes, instead of scattering their votes.

I like the surprise. + Its usually pretty obvious anyway

Stop Shouting!!!!!

merijaan 16-07-2009 12:18 PM

Lol stop shouting.

I think it would be different if they showed us because in some cases people would vote, but yeh I agree I liek the suprise too thats why when I watch fridays next day or later on +4 I try not to come here or seeignthings that might tell me the outcome, lol.

It does make a difference. I watched BB australia last year, and they did post who was ahead of the voting everyday. And it changes always, which I think is caused by the fact that they post it.
I think its a bad idea, because it doesnt really reflect the real voting.

If you knew your Fav Hm was 100 votes away from being safe, some voters would simply vote 101 times, so yes i think it would change the results

merijaan 16-07-2009 12:24 PM

No they wouldnt show the scores just percentages.

But yeh I think it would make a difference, I never would or would ever vote, but thats my own views with reason.

I prefer to find out on a Friday even though most weeks it seems pretty clear cut. If they made the voting results available daily i think i`d try to avoid them.

come round here I do more!

Yes, it could make a difference in some situations.

Think about how popular Freddie has been. What if he was back up for vote and, because he is so popular, a lot of his fans assumed that everyone would vote for him. Then they didn't bother to vote themselves thinking it wasn't needed. He could go home because his fans didn't vote.

However, in the same scenario, if the percentages were aired, his fans would get off of their duffs and vote to save him.

CallumJoshuaSturt 16-07-2009 02:51 PM

It would changed i don't think

ross-oaft 16-07-2009 03:03 PM

I used to like the surprise, but now due to the internet i have a fair idea who is going. So yes, I think knowing the results would be a good idea, maybe would make more people vote.

HELLIWONTGO 16-07-2009 03:39 PM

If ch4 and BB thought it would make them more money they would do it for deffo!
