Default Facebook votes vs Phone votes

I'm not certain why BB have chosen to edit different hm's badly this year but they definitely have imo, however it's not the Conspiracy theory some are trying to make of it. Mainly because the evidence for the Conspiracy comes from BB clips deliberately released to Facebook & When you look at the way votes are charged:

By Phone min 1 call = 0.36p 100 votes = £36
By Facebook min 1 vote(1fbc) = 00.7p 100 votes(80fbc) = £5.60

http://about.channel5.com/big-brothe...and-conditions

you can clearly see that the most informed BB viewers are the ones with the biggest impact on the outcome, that is for every £1.00 spent by an informed viewer a Hl only viewer has to spend approx £6.50

I think the most likely explanation of the bad edit is in creating a story out of all that reality. Those that have been edited badly are but pawns in a "game-show" and the game-show ends on Finals night not when BB's favorite has gone on to star in presupposed media events.










By ITunes App min 12 votes = 0.69p 100 votes = £4.99 + set up & purchase time
By Android App min 1 vote = 0.10p 100 votes = £5.00 + set up & purchase time

I think you are a smart cookie, could be... the lack of comments on your post shows that you are analytical and ahead of most people in this forum.

Not sure you can vote on BB outside the uk i suspect not, but it's a ridiculously biased voting system and to answer your question Yes i think it is the best value for money

Thats my sig sorted then

Not sure it's quite right though, i mean we all get different things out of BB some like to call a spade a spade and that satisfies us, some others see BB as a game-show which extends out into forums on the net and the aim of the game is to get there fav across the finish line.

It is a Reality game-show and nothing more, and i think we can all stand to be reminded of that when we are scoulding Big Brother for trying to Entertain us.
