Broadcast competitions and voting
2.13 Broadcast competitions and voting must be conducted fairly. 2.14 Broadcasters must ensure that viewers and listeners are not materially misled about any broadcast competition or voting. 2.15 Broadcasters must draw up rules for a broadcast competition or vote. These rules must be clear and appropriately made known. In particular, significant conditions that may affect a viewer's or listener's decision to participate must be stated at the time an invitation to participate is broadcast. http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/bro...0/harmoffence/ They are clearly in breach of 2.15 as they did not make the rules of the vote clear at "the time an invitation to participate is broadcast". On the contrary, it is now 19: 45 pm and we still do not know what we are voting for exactly. Channel 5 have supposedly confirmed to fan sites that the bottom 2 will face a challenge but there is no mention on their website and there was no mention of this at the end of last night's show when lines opened. |

Same thing happened in January CBB with Winston's eviction. I posted about it on here and nobody gave a crap. I even emailed BB and they replied to me with some bureaucratic nonesense, trying to make out that they are being fair.

Every voter until 4 pm today was under the assumption that the person with the fewest votes would go. That is why Chloe was until that point a massive odds on favourite to go, but is now evens. Only at around 4 - 5 PM was the fact that a bottom 2 would face a challenge made clear to voters who had been voting since 10 PM last night. The Ofcom rules clearly state "These rules must be clear and appropriately made known" and "stated at the time an invitation to participate is broadcast" When did they tell us that the bottom 2 would face a challenge? About 18 hours after they made the invitation to participate. |

Trying to take it up with them is useless. They will only answer to Ofcom who people should complain to. I'm opposed to complaining about things that cause "Offense". But this is the sort of thing Ofcom should be there for. Last edited by Yaki da; 12-08-2016 at 07:34 PM. |

Let's be honest you're all kicking up a fuss now but you'll be cheering and gloating when Bear ends up being saved and James goes :/

I'm free to comment on how ridiculous this is, but thanks your concern

It is bad enough that they get away with changing the nomination rules every other week (which they can do, even though they shouldn't), but to mislead voters is a disgrace and against all broadcasting and ethical standards. |

The rules are clearly written there and Channel 5 are quite clearly in violation of them. If you don't like people drawing attention to that, then you let it go and bugger off. |

Why do people look on at this behaviour and act as though it would be fine as long as they get the result they want? It's got nothing to do with anything. |

If you are bored then do not enter such threads. The fact is the vote opened at 10 pm last night. Only at 9 pm the next day did Emma confirm that the top 2 would be safe. By Ofcom's broadcasting code that puts them in violation of it. Again... These rules must be clear and appropriately made known. In particular, significant conditions that may affect a viewer's or listener's decision to participate must be stated at the time an invitation to participate is broadcast. It saddens me to see people time and time and time again allow these people to get away with this sort of thing. Though this is by far the worst thing I have seen them do. People will complain to Ofcom over someone thinking bisexuals just can't make their mind up, but the very thing Ofcom should exist to protect viewers/voters from they ignore.

I agree with the OP tbh.
So many other members here seem to be fine with (and even at times encouraging) BB to violate these rules. And when people's money is involved, it is even more ****ed up. If any of these members actually pay to vote on BB, then I am amazed at how stupid they are. This has happened on the show more than once, and people are stupid enough to think "it wont happen to my favourite HM" - it might!!! Then you wouldn't be so happy about it, would you? BB should never deceive the public when money is involved, no matter which HMs are involved! Yeah I hated Winston and wanted him gone that week, but if he didn't get the least amount of votes, then he shouldn't have gone, solely for that reason.

I'm afraid people just don't care anymore. They'll complain over words that offend them being broadcast but things that are totally corrupt or extremely dodgy they just accept without questioning.
The rules could not be clearer and they did not inform viewers of exactly what they were voting for. They did not make it clear which the broadcasting code says they must. For 22 hours until Emma Willis informed us that there would be a bottom 2 most people were voting under the assumption that the top 3 would be safe and the person with the fewest votes would be evicted. Now the person who came third could be evicted over the person who got the fewest. That should have been made known before voting lines ever opened. Last edited by Yaki da; 12-08-2016 at 08:37 PM. |

Right, can all you people who thought James was out and it was fixed now be quiet. The BB producers don't care. What they have done however is mislead the voters on what it was they were voting for. In clear and obvious breach of broadcasting standards.
Unfortunately because James is now safe, most of you will not give a ****, because the producers can get away with anything so long as it doesn't lead to a favourite with the forums going. But ethical standards have been trampled over with this and people should draw attention to this fact. |

Imagine that situation... They've misled the voters, in violation of broadcasting codes. And Marnie who almost certainly came 3rd and had the overwhelming majority of HMs wanting to save her could have actually gone.
This is what you have allowed this show to become. You care more about old homosexuals thinking that bisexuals can't make their minds up than about them misleading voters and screwing over contestants. Last edited by Yaki da; 12-08-2016 at 09:43 PM. |

Jessica Meuse was robbed.

I'm interested to know who really got the least votes between Marnie and Chloe considering it was only supposed to be 2% between them.
