Default Daily Mail and Daily Star Vote Rigging Scandal?

Come on they have technical issues, if they got caught rigging a vote they could get in to serious trouble for fraud. They have no story so start to make one up.

Day 57, July 14: Big Brother fans have expressed fury because they believe their text votes to save Nikki from eviction are fixed - in a plot to save Aisleyne.

Fans say show bosses are fixing the show to prevent Aisleyne from being evicted tonight.

When viewers sent messages to Big Brother vote lines wanting Aisleyne out - to save Nikki - they were told their vote was not valid.
They got texts messages back saying "Sorry, we do not recognise your vote."

Angry fan, Denise Taylor, 54, from Devon told the Daily Star: "I sent three texts and they all came back saying the same thing, that my vote wasn't recognised.

"It's just not good enough. Big Brother is happy to take out money and thnk we'll just ignore it when they mess up. It's not on. We should be able to vote off who we hate without worrying Big Brother is fixing things behind the scenes.

Channel 4 bosses admitted there was a technical problem with the text voting on Aisleyne's line, but vowed to count all votes submitted.

Bookmakers predict Nikki will be voted off the show tonight.

Doesn't money from voting go to charity anyway. At least 25p if I remember correclt. Adam Rickitt also donates to charity often. He once gave 4 goats to a petting zoo for children in Aberystwyth. He would make an excellent housemate.

I don't think any money from BB goes to charity and I think people would be surprised at just how much money the voting makes.

I was wrong they have started this series that 10p from every vote will go to charity, but the cost of a vote has gone up also.

Not against the rules but it is still allowed vote rigging...Emotional people who distort the real popularity of a housemate and thus deny what you could call a "fair result".

Just imagine if general elections were allowed such a voting system....It would start a war......Little wonder BB causes so much frustration amidst voters who don't have money to wast....

Yep, looks like the old 'my vote for housemate x wasn't registered' to get everyone to try out the number and vote that housemate out scam.

My vote aint keeping anybody in/out of the BB house. I doubt my vote is going to be the decider of anything. There aint no point in voting until the final anyway.
