Why all the secrecy about the voting stats - not voting and watching again until they are released

Let us see how popular or not our favourite or not HMs were

Should be given out as standard

    They don't want the public to know how little amount if people actually vote

    No. You should get some perspective and realise that taking a bit of reality TV dross this seriously isn't healthy.

    Totally true of course, but I don't see why they couldn't just give us the percentages without mentioning the figures. :mad:

    (Not that I'm going to boycott CBB of course - I've been lost for 3 days with no BB). :o

    I'm not "Boycotting" it but I'm not voting anymore!

    If it isn't fixed, why can't they release the percentages? It's not hard!!!

    To be honest, I'm not sure why anybody would be so very bothered, interesting as it might be to see them? The show's over and we know the placements.

    If they've had a situation where there were only 150 votes in it, that tells me voting figures are probably laughably low - something they're unlikely to want to publicise.

    You know how popular the housemates are by where they placed

    It's that simple

    That may or may not be, but IMO they're not going to start paying out on second place.

    Emma was quite happy to say there was only 2% between Sophie and another HM last Friday so why not be consistent?

    TBH we know who finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd etc.. it would just be interesting to know as X Factor give out the results for the whole series after it has ended. ie. how close did Dexter get to being evicted on the 7 occasions he was up? Was it close between Callum & Hazel? I don't see the harm it would cause to publish them (except for the fireworks on the forums lol):confused:

    I want to know how the votes fell every week :(

    I think the people who pick up the phone every week deserve to know.. other shows release theirs!

    I wouldn't boycott, but at least everyone should tweet @BBUK asking for the stats, as I have done. (And write on their Facebook page :))

    I agree it'd be interesting - I love stats a little too much :o

    But I'm not going to be devastated if they don't do it. Indeed, I very much doubt they will.

    The real lesson I think is not to pay to vote when there's a "Hez well fit innit" character in the house, even if you cannot see the supposed hotness; or note that the HM contributes bugger all to BB.
    I'd rather pick a female HM at the start and put a £10 bet on them finishing 'top female' as 14 years old One Direction girl fans won't be involved in the outcome.

    I would love to know.

    I found the BB13 ones very interesting.

    I am still kicking myself for not voting Hazel out against Wolfy if it truly was that close.

    We would have all been spared all the Daley/Hazel safe house situation if she had gone that week.

    I would also love to know how many votes were between Sophie and Sam that week.

    Most CBB winners have not been the 'eez fit' choice. Winners such as Paddy and Denise suggest that an older part of the voting public have the real power, not the teens/early 20s.
