Channel 5 might be out however much money from a total loss of overall voters, but their reputation, integrity and need to be seen as not tolerating orchestrated fraud is worth far more than the loss of 'X' percent of people who do not get to vote again surely ?”

C5 has never done that before when someone has tried to trick people into phoning a vote number, so why is it suddenly so important to do it now?

And how is it an "orchestrated fraud"?

What was the orchestration?

4/ Do nothing, and when Scotty doesn't win anyway it will all completely blow over and be forgotten.

I would happily vote if they didn't want my money. Big Brother is the only show I watch that still takes people's money with voting, I'm a Celebrity, Britain's Got Talent and X Factor are all free on the app. Channel 5 still want 50p on the app! No chance, give us live feed first.

I doubt they're going to release the voting figures like last series to save face when the inevitable happens and Scotty wins.

They also have Tiffany at 15%, with Darren at 13% - don't know if I trust their instincts on who they think will win.

The only time I've seen C5 release voting figures is during the series Deana, Becky, Luke A etc were in. Sure, Emma has said there was "2% in it" (I think between Hazel and Wolfy?) but they haven't made a habit of releasing figures.

They released the last Celebrity edition's Final voting figures.

Anyone who has spare money they want to throw away for court fines.

You could arguably try and sue Gaz for fraud, though not to "high heaven", and you could certainly not sue Channel 5 or Endemol.

This is precisely why I never vote. Unfortunately now it's not about how you come across in the house, it's about how many followers you have on social media so it's just a farce. I watch because anything about human behaviour and interaction fascinates me but as a game it's too manipulated and fixed to vote.

Even BBC gives you 3 free votes every week on their website for Strictly.

Use to be 5 but now cut it down to 3.
