I don't care where you stand on the love him or hate him debate - I think that's been done .. Go shout your opinion into a well for all the good it'll do

The reason fans are upset is because the vote didn't reflect audience opinion ... On every chart and viewers' poll and betting odd, Marc's been favourite to win all week - and by a landslide

Today I hear from someone connected to the show that producers hadn't counted on the number of repeat votes from people who (obviously) really wanted to get Marc out .. People were voting 20, 30, 50 times - with Vote to Evict, it's a lot easier to get someone out than keep someone in

When they realised what way the vote was going they told Emma to make the unusual announcement that the vote was "difficult", and that the public really needed to "think" about who they were voting for .. A blunder on their part, as next week's task was planned around having Marc and Danny still in

It was a split vote that got Marc out. The anti-Harry edit the evening before would have taken some of the votes away from those voting Jack out... therefore Marc's amount would have towered.

That's very interesting , so they wanted Marc there for this week.ha ha .up yours producers.

Well if the above is correct then the powers that be are more idiotic than i thought. And trust me my opinion of their competence is pretty much on the floor to,start with.

BB producers in 'total incompetency' shocker

IF that was the case and they wanted Marc to stay, why didn't Emma do as last week and freeze the vote with 2 last remaining. There would have then been multiple voters for the 2 remaining?

Mind u, I suppose if the count for Marc was already too high then it may not have made much of a difference.

Thanks for making me even more annoyed about the stupid farce. You'd think the BB team would know by now that multiple voting occurs with a VTE!

So if you voted 50 times, you spent roughly £25 on votes?

I'm sure there would have been equally fanatic Marc supporters multi-voting against Pie-Face in particular, but also against Harry. At the end of the day he received more votes to go; that's always been the way under VTE.

And legitimately so...but most of them seem to favour as a solution vote-to-save which doesn't truly reflect audience opinion either.

We've got lots of experience of both VTS and VTE on their own so it's about time to try out a combination of the two.

Tweeted from James Jordan:

Trust me..... The producers wanted @marqoneill to stay. They know how great he was. They will be gutted!

And yes, idiotic is what I'd go with .. However, the phone vote does help pay for the prize fund (as far as I know) - and I think Vote to Evict usually generates more votes .. like from obsessives whose rage drives them to vote 50 times .. A calculated blunder

No, that's not the way it works with a 4 way eviction, there were 3 other dead weights to choose from.

I know.....why would you? The shit really isn't that important!

They probably thought about who they were voting for and decided to throw 20 more votes Marcs way.

Multiple voting occurs with VTS as well - arguably more so, as people are voting positively for someone they like (except in head to heads like that between Conor and Shiv) as opposed to voting out other HMs whom they may actually quite like, but are seen as vulnerable voting-wise.

I myself did most of my multi-voting under VTS, which was for Aaron in BB12 and Deana in BB13.

people that rarely watch the show would just vote marc out because its the theme of the week, he was never going to survive a vote to evict

I hear it's less common - plus the positive vote was getting split three-ways (between Jack, Harry and Sam)

The British public tend to be quite driven by negativity - just look at the Daily Mail website .. feels like 1,000 negative comments to every 1 positive - one of the most popular websites in the country

Have these producers never watched the show before.

Marc being up for eviction against three housemates with no chance of winning was always going to result in his eviction. It was a forgone conclusion. Harry having a mad episode oh Thursday could have distracted some viewers, but not those who want either Chloe,Danny or Joel to win.

I'd be flabbergasted if anyone planning on voting for someone to win in the finale voted for anyone but Marc last week.

But the app lets you buy 2 or 10 votes? So obviously there would be repeat votes. It has probably been happening all series so they would be aware.

If you average it out through all the weeks he was immune it's really not that much I shouldn't think for die hard fans of the show

I'll bet he got a lot of votes that would otherwise have gone to Helen last year too.

There were plenty of campaigns on social media (including here) to pile the votes onto Jack and I'm sure you're aware of that. The wider voting public doubtless look at things like voting odds as well and target those most likely to go in order save a fave.

Shows how out of touch the BB producers are.
You cant underestimate the influence of the minority of the public who are motivated by negativity and "holier than thou" disapproval to vote numerous times , thereby swaying the vote.
Its a shame but the diy mary whitehouses won.

Hahaha! Quite right nattoyaki, post of the week!

Think some production heads are definitely going to roll once Summer CBB is done and dusted

If Marc got most votes to be evicted then the result most certainly did reflect audience opinion

Yes, up yours producers.
