Could they just flat out lie about the results of the Perez vote?

But in any case, I wonder what's actually done when votes "have been counted and verified". What's the verification? It clearly isn't contacting all voters to check whether their votes were counted correctly. So what is it?”

Indeed

Not very transparent is it.

It's their poll and can make that poll look any way they decide. I fully expect them to give Perez a pass to the final and when people complain, as they did with Helen, they will say it's what we wanted on the vote.

Now what get's me annoyed is that pretty much everyone on here didn't give a damn because it involved the forum fave. Now if they fix this poll with Perez the forum will no doubt go mad. The thing is, you would have only yourselves to blame. You pick and choose when Big Brother is wrong. You can't accept one thing and not the other, it makes you look like hypocrites.”

It was never clear to me that it happened the way you've just described. I don't think I've ever seen that particular version claimed before, and when I try a search, the only person I can find saying it is you. That doesn't mean you're wrong, but you now seem to be saying that "pretty much everyone" knew it had happened that way but didn't mind. I don't think that's so.

Helen being fake-evicted was very suspicious, though. There wasn't a vote, and the HMs who had the power didn't seem to use it to pick her. It looked like BB just did it, and used it to give Helen another chance to spy (her 3rd).
