All this means to me is that the public will get screwed over.

You need a device running the correct ios.

Not many do.

Yeah & they deserve for everyone WITHOUT an iphone to switch off & not watch the series again! BB is no longer interactive to all! And if they don't switch off then they deserve for them not to vote again for the remainder of the series. BB should be hit where it hits them hard....ratings or their profits!!

It would be brilliant if nobody voted.

IF I was at all interactive during BB (meaning I vote to save or evict where required or vote whenever BB required me to input to the show) I would no longer be participating in this series from tonight onwards!

BB can stick their app where the sun doesn't shine! It is a total disregard for all BB fans!!

They deserve for those who cannot access the app to either switch off or stop phone voting for the rest of this series! Hit them hard!!

What happened to voting by phone or on the website? It's a nakedly cynical tactic to promote the app.

Ashleigh doesn't need the vote anyway. She's safe as houses.

So they're asking people to vote on an app that many haven't got access to, to save a HM from being nommed after the week before, asking people to vote on an app that many haven't got access to, to choose a PHM. So no prizes then for guessing who BB think is going to be saved from noms. They might as well make Ashleigh immune and stop pretending they're not trying to keep her in there.

There's no reason they can't do this in the BB internet site which I would imagine a large proportion of the public have access to. So it's not really power for all, just power to those who have the right equipment!!

I wouldn't say that. If Pav was voted immune...

.... then there is a very good chance we'll be seeing an Ashleigh, Chris, Zoe/Christopher/Winston eviction...

...everyone is in trouble there.

IPhone is per app so per device.

Calls can be multiple, so can pcs.

Will Ashleigh be safe though if she gets saved though? They took her immunity away this week after all....

They're just saying that because they've seen the complaints but surely you all know by now that the public won't actually have the power. Come on, it's all for show.

Nearly half FMs have the app or have the capacity to get the app according to a current poll.

I dont see why anyone would be interested in this power housemate voting bollocks anyway. It adds nothing and just ruins the show - that was proved by Pauline on day one.

It's saying the poll is now closed.
do you reckon they'll announce who is safe on BBOTS?
Also, another thought, the housemates are going to have to know who is immune surely?

Please look at the market share in the UK for the devices running the app, then extrapolate from the age demographic who uses the device, coupled with age demographic of viewers,

We are only a small select proportion of viewers.

Yes a high proportion of viewers may have access to the app,
But in reality they have alienated a lot of people with a one platform app.

That's still the minority! As I said on that poll, BB has stuck two fingers up at the voting public that have spent money on voting in this series who can't get the app because they don't have an iPhone!

Running the latest ios...

Imagine a web based vote that didn't work on anything other than Ubuntu.

The reason that only Apple device owners get to vote is that Apple paid Big Brother to promote their devices.

This is the same reason O2 phone users get to skip to the front of the queue at O2 Academy venues.
