The majority vote may not be the same as the majority as in want.....Multiple voting a corrupt voting system will always hide the true facts of popularity or otherwise.....

I disagree with corrupt voting, and also with multiple voting - thousands vote... some extra multiple votes wouldn't change the outcome.

If multiple voting occured at a general election I think you would soon be shouting the word "corrupt". Of course it's corrupt.

Hate is a stronger emotion than love and as thus multiple voting can seriously skew the result outside of that of reality.

Another factor that multiple voting corrupts the result is the fact people vote (multiple vote) to win a bet.....All in all be it BB or other shows like the X facor multiple voting is a corrupt way of selecting a winner or loser.....

That's because in the general election it's not allowed.

Haha, I'm afraid this is another instance we'll have to agree to disagree.

It's only Day 40 and already I've only got four favorites left.

Oh, Big Brother... perhaps your time really is up....

Just because your favorites get evicted, doesn't mean other peoples' favorites aren't still there, which is why other people keep watching. Your favorites going might give you less reasons to watch, but other people, say Rex and Darnell fans, might have more reasons to watch. Until it's gets down to the final, it's not a popularity contest, it's a unpopularity contest.

In BBUK4, my two top favorites, Federico and Jon, both went the same week (Week 4), in a double eviction! Very annoying, but I kept watching.

You seem to have forgotten the point. The point being the outcome we get from BB voting is not real due to the fact a corrupt voting system is allowed.....

No I haven't, I fully understand your point but disagree with it. I think if people vote more for one person (including multiple voting), then the result is just. Obviously people (including people who vote more than once) want that HM evicted moreso than others.

Mutliple voters don't just support one HM, there'll be the same amount of them supporting different housemates... there would've been multiple voters for Mario last week, for example.

Your assuming multiple voting is proportional. I believe strongly it is anything but......Hate is stronger than love.......just read the threads on forums in general to know that.. No doubt that I havent convinced you nor you I. Yeah ....Have to agree to disagree.

Unfortunately I think that hate is a stronger emotion than love. It's a shame though.

Maybe cause your favourites are the worst housemates??

The common problem is big characters evicted too early... if you can get that through to the general public then its problem solved... problem is that isn't going to happen

True.

bigbr0ther · 15-07-2008, 07:15 PM

At least Luke will win! I can take comfort in that!! My favorite housemate of all will be the winner. I guess that almost makes up for all of the early evictions.

What would be the use of this TV show if the whole thing had to evolve around who you alone liked

rayheartbliss · 15-07-2008, 09:56 PM

those who where evicted, were evicted for a reason!

I wouldn't say win, that spot is destined for Darnell

. Top 6, maybe.

He's 2nd according to the bookies but very close to Kathreya so I feel he will move up in good time. Kathreya was entertaining to begin with but now she's gotten a bit boring. In any case, she never could compare to Luke.

No need to be so RUDE. I didn't say it should revolve around who I like alone, but is it too much to ask that ONE person who I don't like goes or ONE of my favorites survives eviction? If a couple of my favorites left, I wouldn't care. It's that pretty much all of them seem to be leaving. Next time take the time to actually READ what I say before making a RUDE, IGNORANT comment like that. Congratulations, you are the FIRST edition to my IGNORE list!

Who's your favourite?

bigbr0ther · 16-07-2008, 03:38 AM

I've actually already designed the new banner I'm going to replace this one with when Luke wins. It has all of the housemates in black and white except Luke, the winner! I think positive!
