[Sticks]

Last night I was on a Channel 4 webchat with the producers, and I got a question through.
See this link

Sticks : Chat Ed can we have the producers address the allegations of rigging flying about the net

Phil Edgar-Jones : We absolutely guarantee we do NOT rig the Big Brother voting. It is checked every week by a person from the Electoral Reform Society, the same organisation who police the general election.

Gigi Eligoloff : Can I just add, that allegations like that have come about because of the way that people have been voting this year. It's the evolution of the way people interact with the programme.

I should have added "manipulation of footage"

At the time I must have thought rigging included it, but they interpreted it in a more narrow context.

Doh!
