I don't get the significance of how the phone lines only being open for a minute would affect the outcome of a vote.

1. Dexter was not my favourite Gina was, but I can accept that Gina did genuinely lose.

2. Twins and Charlie was splintering each others votes, not Twins and Sam.

3. Of course the phone lines only being open for a minute could affect the outcome of the vote, Ginxter fans was not given enough time to unite in their voting of Dexter, how is that fair? And if it was the other way around you would be agreeing with me.

And if they had have left the phone lines open longer like they do in other finals and Sam still won then I wouldn't be complaining as much as believe it or not Sam is not one of my worst winners, that still goes to Anthony, Rachel, Pete, and Brian Belo for me.

I'm sure the show doesn't change it's schedule to suit fans of certain HM's. The viewing public voted throughout the week for their winner, and that was Sam. End of story. I'm sure people will watch next series as usual. I wouldn't deny myself 10 weeks of entertainment just because I mightn't like the winner.

Wrong they didn't get a whole week the public only got 4 days, and if you can't see that Ginxter splintering each others votes and then BB rigging the votes with the phone lines closing quicker than usual (which you don't seem to get or don't want to get) made Sam's win much easier then I think you are being biased because you don't like Gina and Dexter.

I think all talk of rigging votes and fixes are nonsense, no matter who wins, so we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

You can influence voting without rigging or fixing.

It can, and I believe has, been done on a more subtle level.

Hi Mock, sorry to disagree but Emma said we had 11 minutes after Gina came out to vote, I was actually voting for at least 7 minutes up the point where she said the lines had closed and then later went on to announce who had won.
