[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!

Oh man..atleast you tried pal..they'd only be diplomatic in their answer anyway!!

Sticks, I think they knew fine well what you meant...

Well done for getting onto the web chat Sticks!

I think they knew as well, but chose to answer in terms of the actual voting.

Dredging this up again.

I did wonder if we should collectively go to the BB5 Auditions and voice our concerns.

But I suspect none of the bigwigs will be there
