But that would also mean they are deceiving viewers who paid money to vote for them.

But if they'd got enough votes and were voted out whether or not they were actors, where would the harm be in that? So long as BB could prove the figures re: the phone votes, of course.

Does that make sense? It's been a long day already...

BB has never published true and accurate numbers of Phone votes - Percentages mean absolutely **** all if you don't have a base figure.

No-one actually believes Daley and Hazel were voted into the SH where they got immunity from eviction as they were, before going in, the two least popular HMs on the polls. Only weirdos would have been so keen to see how they'd get along that they would reward them so substantially.

BB rigged that quite happily, so they're prepared to do anything, I should imagine.

Less than 24hrs, more than enough time for them to hire a company to make the small number of calls necessary, so their hands were technically clean, and close when they had their 'result' in the bag.

They really have their target audience sussed, haven't they?

I see what you mean, but you could equally say that people were spending their money voting to keep someone in who wasn't even real, if you know what I mean, in a reality show.
