Important information about tonight's vote
STOP PRESS: There is an unofficial Big Brother app in circulation, which is falsely claiming that you are voting to evict. This is not true. You are voting to SAVE. Please only refer to the official Big Brother app, or website at bigbrother.channel5.com for correct voting details.

who cares ? get the boring drip out >:(
People who haven't cottoned on think they have bought a vote to evict - they then do so and actually vote for the person they are evicting.
This is most likely to boost the save vote for characters who might suffer in a vote to evict - I would say James and Kellie
Quoting myself - but note that highly booed James has been saved..
Was this app around earlier in the series and in the last series of BB?
Because if it was I can see how we had some strange results.
A very easy way to steer a vote share in a small betting market.
Note that most of the bookies have now pulled their odds .
Yes, the bookies odds on Oddschecker look curiously threadbare.

Something there to be exploited and hacked into.
Should have just stuck to the trusty old telephone.
Wonder how many people voted to "evict" him.
I myself made one, which you can vote from, for Windows Phone. A few weeks ago it did say Vote To Evict in error (as well as Vote To Save) though this was fixed.
Are there any other apps out there? Is there indication as to which app they are referring to?
Its an app for Big Brother for Windows Phone which I made.
If the fake app actually submits votes, which are counted, then ...
I wonder whether the fake would have been detected if it said it was vote to save but didn't credit the votes to the right HM.
And if it wouldn't have been detected, who's to say there aren't fake apps doing just that?
If people can make apps that actually submit votes, is there anything that stops them from making apps that submit the votes for a different HM than the person using the app intended? Like I get the app and I vote for Gary, but it actually submist the vote as if I'd voted for James -- is there anything that prevents apps from doing something like that?
No, you could quite easily do it.....it's just a link after all, like you click a link on a website or like you click the submit button to post a reply to this thread! Nothing to stop an app from doing that at all! Maybe they might think about scrapping it now
Greed! The app is full of advertizing so the money they get from the ads revenue is the reason why
Is it still a fix
