7. Under no circumstances will there be a refund for any vote cast or for any misdialled calls.

In previous years they have refunded money for votes cast because of certain situations, they are saying here in this TERM that they will no longer refund money for any circumstance!!

9. At times you may not be able to get through to register your vote. Channel 4 is not liable to callers who are unable to register a vote.

By having this TERM Ch4 can now turn off a particular HM's phone line if they DEEM them to be receiving TOO many votes!

Right, i will NOT be voting then.
If its a possibility my vote wont even be counted then why should i waste my money?

No matter what anyone says or does, how the votes are cast or not cast Ch4 WILL DECIDE!!

People are being so calm, dont you see that C4 are playing us, i mean so when people say its a fix then its true.

I mean lets say its Sophie VS Rogrigo in the finale and 20,000 people vote for Rogrigo to win and 34,000 vote for Sophie, because they wouldnt like Sophie they will just say "Naa lets just count 12,000 of Sophie's vote and all of Rodrigo's.... wooop Rodrigo our fave wins!!!"

its like to stop gangs from fixing it, they put on a large bet on a housemate who isnt at good odds to stay/win and then they cast a few thousand votes (all this phone in money will be made back if the housemate has really **** odds)...so channel 4 will know that no one person will vote like 1000 or 2000 times so they put this rule out, if there is a mobile number that appears 3 times or 33 times then they wont see anything wrong with that and the votes will "be counted and VERIFIED"

The reason people are being calm is because its being read into too much and there is absolutely nothing going on. The rest of you have got it all wrong and you're just jumping to conclusions with conspiracy theories. All reality TV shows have roughly the same t&c's, are they all fixed too? They're only used for exceptional circumstances.

No, they cant do that, all the votes are checked and ocunted independantly and as I said on my last post they will see a trend of thousands of votes coming from one or two phone numbers and they will see it as suspicious and know that gangs are out to hijack the show as to fix it and get a large payout from the bookies.....do you all not remember last year during the days running up to the BB9 final there were reports of groups that were trying to make a quick pound

Agreed.
I'm assuming this refers to people who can 'cheat the system'. Work out a way to get multiple votes for the call of one etc.
Okay, bad example but I get what Tom's saying.

yes, "exceptional circumstances is what it is"

secondly, i reslly dont understand why people who "love" the show and spend alot of time on "BB" forums hencs the name "thisisbigbrother" and slam the show at any chanvce they can when this is a special year as it is the 10th summer series and it is a critical series were fans need to stick together to get the show through to next year because channel 4 will pull the friiging plug on this show if this summer has shitty ratings, Bye Bye and nomore BB

Seriously, its just people reading way too much into this. Some will never even be used ... e.g. in Dancing on Ice there is a T&C that if the public votes are tied then the head judge decides who goes through or something. Is that a fix because what is the point in a public vote if there is the possibility it can be tied? Thats how trivial it is. The resetting votes in BB has only been used once throughout the entire history of BB, so whats to say the rest have ever been used?

Its just for block voting for people to change the results (ie bookies).

Sorry my post before seemed to come across differently, i was actually not being sarcastic with the question, i was genuinely asking lol. So i hope you are right, i dont have to worry anymore. What exactly would extreme circumstances be anyway? A dead on tie?

Oh I know you weren't being sarcastic, its just the way I speak

Anyway an extreme circumstance would be like what we seen in CBB5 where Shilpa was up for eviction and they used "to save" (or win) instead of "to evict". They just have to cover all ground, no matter how little chance of it happening is, in case something does happen and they don't know what course of action to take. If its already in the T&C's then noone can contest it because you're supposed to know them before you vote.

To be honest as a fan of BB since DAY 1 for me BB in its the public decide format was over a long time ago, the day they sent Nikki Graeme back into the house to be precise!! Its now just a platform for wannabes to be manipulated by Ch4 in any manner they choose and to show us their manipulations in 1 hour snippets without the viewers getting a true picture of the housemates via continuous live feed!!

[Hawkeye]

Dont know if I am going to bother voting. They keep deleting my comments off of the Ch4 BB page when I post.
