I just feel that way because I really didnt expect frenchy to go...

.. I wouldnt be surprised to be honest

[rubymoo]

I will be so sad if he goes.

I'm soooo wanting him to win!

[bots]

yes, it is possible, thats why everyone should vote vote vote

[Liam-]

If he went it would be the single best eviction of all time imo

[Pincho Paxton]

He could go, but BOTS, and this Forum both disagree.

[Denver]

The difference was the bookies expected frenchie to go so it was obvious in the last few hours

[Josy]

He definitely could go

[Gusto Brunt]

If he goes it's a fix.

No it isn't.

If Gary goes it just means people haven't voted enough and some have wrongly thought he was too safe.

[Mystic Mock]

He is affecting Fat Dee's popularity with the public quite badly so you may have a point OP.

This will be a test for Gary tonight to see if 70 year olds can actually compete with the big guns on a BBUK series.

[Pete.]

Would be incredible TV moment if he does

And hilarious because backstabbers shouldn't get rewarded

Ch5 have in their contract with BB that they can amend the votes, so for example say Frenchy was 3rd in the votes like most places was saying, BB/Ch5 can change the vote and say she came bottom of the vote, it's the same with BB15 with some of the dodgy votes there, and it's been the same for every Ch5 BB series.

Tbh I'm an idiot for knowing this and still voting on it tbh as I could vote 500 times for Gary but if the producers want him gone they will say he went.

[Denver]

Anythings possible but the bookies have stephanie and kellie favs to go by along shot although anything can happen it looks like those 2 will go

There only aloud to cancel votes if they look dodgy and then they have to tell whoever deals with it that they cancelled votes and there reason why

That's against the law, so it's not true.

What isn't against the law is that bookies who would pay out millions to pay punters for a bet on Winston can save money by phoning BB to get Winston out. They could phone 1 million times, and still save money.

[chuff me dizzy]

One thing to think about, he's been up every week, its vote to save, people only have so much money to spend and he's only evens to win, far from a certainty ,Helen was 25-1 the week before the finals and she won it

Trust me I thought that it was against the law as well but they really have it.

And to Adamski94, how the heck are they able to tell if a vote looks dodgy or not?

A little thing called block voting

All sorts of analysis is done on voting patterns etc, its common to all the phone in programs.

No that's not what it means at all.....

It is against the law. It breaks quite a few laws. For example BB pays their relatives to put a bet on Helen at Ladbrokes. Then they simply make Helen win. They make several million pounds, and rip off Ladbrokes. The people paying for votes have rights that their votes are for real as money is involved.

That's 2 laws broken right there.

This is what it said during BB13.

“If you voted in a certain way, we have the right to amend the votes in anyway we want.”

So what do you take that to mean? As after all block voting is allowed on any other Reality Show that has public voting so why is BB removing that? Imo that is a form of rigging the votes only they can't get into trouble for it as the public are suppose to know that it's in their terms & conditions and therefore it's not officially breaking the law.

Also it's quite convenient that ever since we've had this amending votes being introduced to BB we've had people like Conor surviving public votes, we had Ash beating Matthew when every poll had Ash to go with 75 to 80%, we had Helen winning, we had Callum losing to Hazel, we had Faye beating Jay in that week 5 vote of BB12.

When Ch4 however had BB and didn't have the amend voting system around, the evictions felt a lot more believable.

I am with the Mockinator on this one. Doesn't it say that BB and CBB have the final determination as to which votes are counted etc? Something along those lines someone posted earlier last month.


Bookies are bent as nine bob bits anyway and they are making money hand over fist whoever gets evicted.

Its if any of the votes are dodgy, fraudulent and so on they have the right to amend them but they must also have and prove that they have reasonable grounds to do so, what you described is just outright illegal and would land not only endemol but also channel 5 in a **** load of trouble, why would they even risk that?

And even after all that ALL VOTES ARE REGULATED BY THE ELECTORAL COMMISION..

What you described above just does not happen.

And btw, the rules were the exact same on C4 so not sure where you are getting your info from?

5. Channel 4 reserves the right to discount votes if it has reasonable grounds to suspect that fraudulent bulk votes have been cast.
Channel 4 may suspend, withdraw or re-set voting at its sole discretion.
