Last place is the new First Place

Thanks for voting me into the final in the first place, I don't think I've ever had a nomination before <3

Right, I'm sorry, but I have no choice but to discount every single voter that's been asked to vote on their walls. Completely unfair and makes a mockery of the game.

I can't help but agree. That's not saying that Erin doesn't deserve votes, but it's just not what this is about at all.

[Jemal]

I would of voted for erin either way lol.
Plus i didnt see cheries post until after i voted.. But oh well.

#Justice4Erin.

People are asking for votes? Oh guys come on really? Defeats the whole purpose of this and makes you look bloody desperate.


My vote stays for erin because she has contributed a hell of a lot towards this forum during BB, and people asking for votes on her behalf (without her consent) taints her win, because she would have won without the begging from others.

[Z]

Well I voted for erinp5 of my own accord

[Jake.]

Tbf it wasn't Erin asking for votes though

[Shaun]

Arrow, coolface, EyeballPaul, Gillian-73, HBB1508, HD, JTM45 Lex, MrWong, Suze, zakman440 - your votes in the poll will be discounted. You can still actually vote in the thread - if you're so inclined - but I suspect that some of you won't even read the thread again.

As a result, the following points will be deducted from the final totals:

erinp5 - 11
Kate - 1
Josy - 3
Zee - 1
Jake - 1
Livia - 2
Shaun - 1

As said above, though, all of the above members are welcome to vote again if they do so in the thread. It's just completely unfair asking people to vote a certain way, rather than leaving them to vote of their own accord.

[Shaun]

And if I see one more post on someone's wall asking them to revote, or anyone else to vote a certain way, I'm banning you from this and future editions of the game.

[Benjamin]

Oh now I only have 6 votes.

[Videostar]

Someone did ask me to vote for Erin and inform me that this thread was here, but I know Erin better than the others on the list so I would have voted for her anyway...sorry to all the others on the list, it was nothing against them.

Good luck to all.

erinp ftw

That's OK, I'll keep your vote in Thanks

[Cherie]

Whats the problem with it? most of the people I asked were in the Jim Fan Club where Erin posted stuff almost daily, some stuff most people would have missed if she had not posted, I suggested people might give one of the THREE votes to Erin, I did it on walls so I wasn't being sly and most people are On Season people who might not even have been aware this Poll was going on. I didn't force them to vote for Erin, and they had two other votes to cast elsewhere as they pleased, and as for acting like this doesn't happen in other Polls is just ridiculous. Grow up.

*gets popcorn*

[Shaun]

The problem with it is that most of these people wouldn't even have voted anyway and it gives her an unfair advantage: this game is open for people to vote BECAUSE they want to vote, not because they've been told to by you.

I've made them aware of the Poll. Who they vote for is up to them.

Except most people who get a wall post saying "Hi can you vote for erinp5, oh and maybe some others" aren't going to click the thread and go "right then, let's see, who deserves it?"

They're going to do what you asked. And I don't blame them, it was obviously done in the best of intentions, it's just really not fair on the other 9 finalists.

[reece(:]

Ftr my vote for erin wasn't because of wall posts (and tbh I'm a little insulted you didn't drop me one!)

No I understand, reece and to be fair - erin's winning this even without those votes who've been asked so it doesn't really make an impact on the results. It'd just be nice if this was conducted fairly.

There are always two winners anyway so I didn't see the harm. Erin got through to the final fair and square, and alot of people who would vote for her would disappear once CBB is over so might not have the opportunity. I really don't see what the big deal is I could have done it by PM and no one would be any the wiser.

[abhorson]

Erin, Ammi and Zee. Eloquent, fair and polite.

The big deal is it's not your game to call. End of discussion.
