Default Should voting be limited?

Some people vote in really crazy numbers just vote somebody out but should voting be limited to a certain number per phone number so it does not get slightly out of control?

I actually think that's a good idea, because some HMs may have an unfair advantage depending on the personalities of their fans LOL... whether they're mad about them or whatever, but I suppose the actions of their supporters isn't really their fault. And for BB and the producers etc., they're unlikely to limit it because of the enormous amounts of money they gain from it, which is what keeps the show running and successful and all that.

I do agree that Endemol would not be too keen on the idea lol.

Edermol wouldnt do this but I think its a great idea. Mass voting doesnt really give a fair view of how the public feel.

On another point, the media also play a massive part in public like and dislike.

If a Red Top backs a housemate you can pretty much guarantee they are safe and vice versa

Sam, your right, BB will never change to this just like X Factor wont. They make huge profits on the calls. They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did

I think limited voting is a great idea say 5/10 votes maximum per person, obviously Endemol would never even consider this though because they want to make as much money as possible.

Having limited voting as Mike said would help stop betting rings getting invovled in the show.

Unlimited voting does allow people to distort reality. As it is supposed to be a reality show threfore limited voting should be in place.......

Can you imagine a general election with the same voting rules as BB....
