Default OFCOM has the final say

Quote:
Ofcom's opinion is that the bottom two were decided by the public who knew who they were voting for and what they were paying for and once a pair of contestants are identified, then it is at ITV's discretion to pick the deciding final voting process.

...there's also other articles on this - just search Google.

And this is of course correct - if you don't vote you can't complain if a favourite of yours lands in the Bottom Two. Once there the decision is out of your hands - it's always been that way. Nothing has changed. If you don't want your favourite to be at risk of a 'fix' then vote for them. Simple, really.

Also, this notion of if one person doesnt vote it means they have no right to be pissed off at the outcome is ridiculous. As if one vote would actually make a difference

Next it will be, if you didnt vote more than 1000 times you have no right to be annoyed...

Neat sidestepping of the actual issue by Ofcom

I think thats aimed at people complaining about Treyc going over Katie, If they wanted Treyc to stay they should have voted for her.

Ofcom don't sidestep, as a BB fan you know what they're like. If there was anything untoward going on then Ofcom would have had them over the barrel. Despite the manipulations that go on with EVERY reality TV show around there was nothing wrong with what happened. If a governing body that will have gone over everything with a fine tooth comb and will know more about the issue then any of us say nothing was wrong then there was nothing wrong. I'm no fan of Ofcom but they rarely get it wrong.

Some people just like to complain though, they'd deny the facts if it did a naked hula dance right in front of them. Let 'em vent if that's what makes them happy.

No one even cared about what happened or complained to Ofcom because Treyc went home because she was a boring non entity anyway.

It's all just angry little bitches who hate Cheryl Cole

If it was Danni no one would be bothered, people need to shut up with the Cheryl hate tbh, if it wasn't Cheryl, Ofcom wouldn't be getting involved.

Well Ive never voted but I certainly can complain if my faves land in the bottom two. Nobody has to pay for an opinion.

Saying you can only complain if youve voted is such a Cowell thing to say. Its like, give us your money or st fu.
