    Much as I disliked Helen and feel that the whole thing was a set up I accept that she got the most votes albeit I suspect from a smaller number of people than voted for Ashleigh or even Christopher .

    Even as I wasted a few quid voting for my favourite Christopher I felt instinctively that multi voting on a large scale would win it for Helen. Ashleigh haters, people who had put money on Helen to win a huge odds would be highly motivated to muti vote imo. Didn't the Goode clan claim to have spent £5k voting for Helen ie 10,000 votes

    It's my own fault I got mugged off - I accept that. Lesson learned, I won't vote again. With ever fewer people bothering to vote it's all too easy to distort the result with multi voting. Don't see any point in signing the petition.

    :o:o:o How ridiculous.

    Anyone can brag about the number of votes they made. It's not really something that can be disproved unless you get hold of a phone bill. We're talking here about a guy who claimed to have visited 119 countries, which is pretty amazing considering there are less than 200 and quite a few are places that would not be interested in his blinds and where potato heads are hunted for sport.

    Exactly.

    The best way to send a message to Endemol if you're not happy is not to vote.

    Ha, yes. I'd forgotten about that :D But I can also believe that he'd be so desperate to vote that much.

    Since the very first Big Brother there has never been a housemate who hasn’t been though nomination and eviction

    EVERY WINNER over the years has had to face eviction. That is how this programme works!!

    However, BB wanted to make sure Helen won this year and giving her a free pass to the final would be their way to do it.

    Everyone in that house had to face eviction “except Helen”

    BB knew that all the thousands of people spending money on votes were wasting their money. Yet they still carried on asking the viewers to vote telling them that if they wanted their favourite housemate to win then they had to keep voting.

    This was taking money under false Pretences. Yes the final was fixed without a doubt.

    Fair enough but my point is they won't change their behaviour and the best way to protest is hit them in the pocket. I believe Ofcom have already received a good many complaints and will most likely looking into it.

    At least when petitions were in paper form they had a use as toilet paper.

    And my point is what's the harm in trying . I would not waste my time either but I believe there is enough grounds for an investigation into why one of the most hated candidates ever on BB won .

    My least favourite winner but she won because she got the most votes. People need to let this go as there's no conspiracy.

    It's hard to argue with that. The producers won and probably some gamblers too.

    Loving the first element in the complaint.

    " Miss Wood continued to act in a manner which could be perceived as lacking in basic civility "

    LOL Because we all know the BB house is usually the model of courtesy and manners. :D

    Err. NO!

    Ofcom don't respond to petitions.

    If you believe that there has been a licence breach, or a breach of any relevant broadcasting code, all you have to do is make a formal complaint.

    If not... then you are just wasting our and Ofcom's time.

    I could not stand her and too many excuses were made for her nasty behavior. She is vile no getting away from that but some people like vile HM's, it echoes a chord in them and they vote. What i find awful, they find funny and so forth.
    Move on Op, forget offcom, some voted Helen the winner not because she earned it or was nice or entertaining but to thwart Ashleigh and her fans. They vote against one alleged bitch to let an even bigger bitch win, you could not make it up.
    No different than voting out a GREAT hm to save a brat who did nothing but moan.

    I personally didn't find Ashleigh's behaviour entertaining in the slightest. Her decision to sit in corners in her robe and bitch viciously about other hm's I didn't find the slightest bit entertaining. She was for the most part quite joyless with a face like thunder. She was dead boring most of the time. Not to say I found a lot of enjoyment from Helen either. I did find Jale extremely interesting and I was always entertained by Christopher, shame the Ashleigh fanatics ganged up on Jale, even though they claimed they liked her. Karma can be a real bitch.

    When Ashleigh was happy and animated she was fab but that was an extreme rarity. I am not surprised that she didn't win because she was not entertaining 99% of the time she was in there. It is a tv show and most people want to be entertained.

    I think a petition is pointless! What are you hoping to achieve by doing this? . We all know that Helen should not have won the show, we know it was fixed. But their is nothing we can do about it

    Lets just hope her winning is a warning to us all for next year (if the show is still about then).

    I think he would be too desperate to keep his hard earned OK money to spend that much on voting, personally.

    sometimes this forum makes me seriously question my belief that nobody is born stupid :confused:
    Indeed.

    You can't fix stupid ;)

    This whole petition shit is almost as cringe as threads with the word 'Official' written in them :blush:
