I don't think the numbers are necessarily fake; BB could've voted for her or something I don't know - but what are the chances the most hated person in there, the person with the pass, the person who had 1500 complaints, the person who had a billion final warnings, the person who they've focused the entire series on, the person who had a redemption story forced upon us, the person who would've been evicted in the first few weeks without the pass... WINS? And not just all that, but beats the person with the biggest fanbase and the most fanatic fans. I know people have fallen for the redemption story or just like Helen, but to WIN... I just can't believe that. The Australian one I watched in 2005 was considered a fix as well because apparently the family of the guy that won paid people to vote for him or something? Can't remember the exact details but it was something like that. Could've easily been something like that in this case.

They cannot and would not fix the votes, it's fraud, illegal and could close the entire channel down. Why people fail to understand this year after year is beyond me. They can manipulate the audience however they want by editing things certain ways, I'm not denying that happens - but that isn't a 'fix', that's just manipulation. Whoever receives the most votes wins. They would not and do not lie about those results, it isn't worth it for them to do so.
