Nah cant say am that arsed, I dont waste money voting for BB now.

However looking at the terms and conditions re voting on Channel 5 BB webpages http://about.channel5.com/big-brothe...and-conditions

Para 37 states all votes monitored by Electoral Reform Services

Their website http://www.erbs.co.uk/

They are legit, there will be no rigging of voting figures etc carried out internally by Channel 5 or anyone on their behalf. The only rigging possible is external - automatic phone voting diallers or biaised editing.

Really? You're still being bitter?

Jedward would obviously win if it wasn't rigged. Just like they won the X-Factor.

I think it is one of those situations where it seems so obvious that someone is going to win that their fans don't feel as much of an urgency to vote & has the opposite effect on the other contestant's fan bases. I don't think the voting was rigged.

The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Jedward just don't have as big fanbase as people think.

I don't think the vote was rigged personally, I would though like to be told the breakdowns of percentages of votes for the evictions and the Final of CBB as we used to be told.
What I cannot understand is why not a single figure has been made available to the public even after the series ended,not even to say how much percentage Paddy got or how far he was ahead of the others. That seems odd to me,I would have thought they would be rushing them out.

If I am spending money on voting,then I would like to see how if any my votes,time and money went as to who I was voting for.

But you can, like Shasown said, just go to the Electoral Reform Services website or contact them directly, just be prepaired to pay a little bit more money to get the info.

I have heard however that, Endemol are required by law to hold 51% of the voting share, but rarely, if ever, use their power. I don't know how true this is, I don't know why they would be required to hold off 51% of the votes, but a friend who works with a Regulating Authority told me this, and also said its the same for every single T.V. program, where the public pay to vote for a winner.

I don't think it would be even possible to rig the votes in BB, I just think Jedward fans are bitter, but the fact that Jedward have never won anything speaks volumes really.

The gods honest truth is that I believed they would have come 2nd,I knew they didnt have enough fans to win but I believe they had enough to beat Kerry Katona who lost alot of fans at the end of the show.

Also what didnt help was the Tara vote just before the final where every poll had Tara 15 to 20% ahead of the rest in the vote,yet she weirdly got the least votes in a 4 way eviction that consisted of two bores and a pap.

Actually this has nothing to do with Jedward at all, I would like to know Paddys percentage of votes and hs winning margin,I would also like to know the breakdown of all the final placings votes, along with all the eviction vote percentages too.It's a part of the series and I am fascinated by statistics of any kind..

We get these from near all other shows,Dancing on Ice, X Factor usually at the end of the series but we get them we have already paid to vote in the shows anyway, we should not have to opay agiain to see how the votes went, we never did on BB, we always got the percentages as to evictions and final placings.

I am not getting into an argument od any kind as to Jedward, they didn't win, I didn't expect them to win,I never take any notice of bookies odds,as to BB anyway,they are near always wrong.I would just like the info we should be able to have as a right,as we have had it all the years before.

It's not about bitterness at all, it does seem odd that the figures have not released in a massive blaze of glory though.for Paddy coming through and wining,I bet the people who voted for him would love to know his winning margin and total percentage of votes cast.

If the figures are not released then I will go the route of paying to get them but if I can get them without paying,which we should be able to, then I will do my utmost to get them that way first.

I and those who want to know them are only asking for what other shows give us readily at the end of each series and what we have had given to us for over 10 years anyway over all the BB series all. Free!!
