Default Hang On Just One Tick

Before I start this is not my opinons alone:-

Amy was favourite to win BB:CH right, followed Emilia/Anthony however neither of them won and it was John who took the crown. However, I heard today since newspaper reports are so against BB:CH, could BB of possibly FIXED the votes to get a lot of media attention through neither three favourites to win winning and therefore get a bigger publicity span for BB9 in May/June this year. Anyone else think this could be possible?

I'm not bitter John won before you say that, I do believe he's a worthy winner, just I am quite shocked and when my friend at school suggested it I had a slight suspicion it could be true. What's your thought's on this?

The show was on e4, so maybe that's why the voting was so unpredictable, because the usual casual voters weren't watching the show. I don't think it was fixed, I don't know what BB would achieve from messing with the votes.

That would make no sense at all to get publicity for a supposed fix.Why would anyone bother to watch, let alone vote again? That's not the sort of publicity they would want for the show in the slightest.

There would be complaints to OFcom again and they would most likely investigate the voting, they aren't going to put the show in jeopardy for a few front page headlines.

All this talk of fixes is just beyond silly now.

It makes no sense. Surely it will eventually come out that the show was fixed. What do they do then?

Ok, so like I said I'm not bitter over John winning (to clear up cofusion I am happy with John winning) however I am a little surprised. (Surprised because when I see or speak to the majority of people they were surporting Amy/Anthony/Emilia and John was hardly mentioned to me anyway)

Therefore your comment is uncalled for. As like I said to MY FRIEND who said it was fixed, John was he MOST WORTHY win. Clearer now!

Every year somebody says its fixed.
There is always someone that is not happy with the result, especially if their favourite didnt win, therfore my comment was not uncalled for mmkay.

Like I said, John was worthy winner. People are taking this out of porpotion (however its spelt). I never said John never deserved to win, I said he was the person most deserving. But I was SURPRISED (entasizing SURPRISE) Just coz Anthony didn't win don't mean its fixed, like just because Aisleyne came third in BB7 (which I didn't expect) doesn't mean its fixed. I simply state my FRIENd thought it was fixed, but I was not clear o this and simply asked for peoples views. Clearer...

They wouldn't risk fixing it. There'd be a scandal, voters would be asking for their money back, people would start to call the show fake and they'd lose more viewers in the long run.

So for a series that's trying to leave the controversy behind, it seems very unlikely they'd fix it for John to win just to get a bit of publicity on the final night.

I was a bit surprised he won, with Emilia 2nd but to be fair, both had large fan bases. Perhaps their fans were the ones picking up the phones to vote more and voting more often? Maybe not so many voted for Amy/ Anthony because they expected them to walk it?

You said yourself, you think John is a worthy winner. Obviously the majority of voters agreed...
