If this was the case, why didn't they do it last year, or the year before, or the year before that?
How much money was involved in Big Brother 5, 6 or 7 then? I think that the money this year was higher? I don't know for sure - I also have to say that Bookmakers will learn ways of playing these games and just because itmay have not happened before, is still not enough to win this argument, is it?

The Twins were robbed. The Bookmakers stole the Twins glory, it all fell to pieces and the thicko won
Less money was placed this year then any other year.
Doesn't matter!! Bookmakers get more canny and just because money may have been less than before - it still doesn't mean that the money voted on the underdog was any less or more - the winner - the same. I don't know exactly, as I only saw Big Brother 7 - but it does sound right
It doesn't sound right - But It is right and people need to realise it. The Twins loast and Brian won fair and square.
Mass voting can cause loads of probs and they can vote for other housemates too, just to muck it all up. I haven't looked at the breakdown percentagewise yet, as I've been busy - but I know that something wrong has happened and some sort of fix has happened - I say bookmakers and if we can't agree, then sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo be it

We are bitter twin fans, but did Brian win fairly. No he did not and that makes me and fans of the twins angry - you must realise that
Yes you are very bitter because you were way too overly confident to begin with! At the end of the day us Brian fans can say 'Our fav was the winner!'
You and the Brian-Thicko fan-club will continue to bang on about a straight Big Brother 8 - I/We just feel that I/We were robbed of seeing the lovely - beautiful Twinnies get robbed of the rightful position of winning the show. 2nd is good, but NOT GOOD enough!!!! I still think that the Bookmakers stole their glory. I think this will come up in the newspapers at some time - it has got to. It was unfair and those percentages mentioned I don't understand
actually its the "you and the pretending to be a thicko fan club"
Yeah????? didn't his mum run to the newspapers begging for some free cash and saying that her son is a stupid fake or something? That he is intelligent and watches all Big Brother and knows how to play it?

You don't know if the bookies massed-voted - So you cant say for sure. What we do know for sure is that Brian won Big Brother, with 60.3% of the vote. I and many many people are pleased with the result. Bitter sour faced Twins fans may not be, and my spend days, weeks or years calming fix but we all know they are just making excuses. Brian won fair and square and has gone down in BB history.

No, she didn't. The newspaper made up a story using misleading quotes from an interview his mum did on radio. His Mum cleared that all up on BBBM

None of us know if the Bookmakers mass voted, I'm not saying that. What I am saying is, it makes good business sense right!! I know about the 60.3% vote breakdown, but that is what they tell us and thats debatable. I say fix as mass voting can be said that way. BB history means nothing when poor Samanda got shoved to second not much glory for them

Gerry, Carole, Nicky and other confirmed that Brian didn't really know who Shakespeare was. Believe what you want, but I believe the people who lived with him 24/7

Twins did great and have gone down in history as well, just not as winner. Twin fans should be celebrating how good the Twins have done and celebrating there success instead of being bitter that Brian beat them.

Twins will do well - But soooooooooo many fans are getting upset and I see why - massbl**dy voting and for saving Millions. It must be mentioned or understood or something

In person - she can still change her tune? Took the cash and then reversed it for more cash from BBBM - makes cash sense and as Brian was doing well - she acted at the right time. It can only help him, can't it?
