in the Tellymix poll

54% of votes for Hughie in our poll are from Ireland. Worth considering as they can't vote in the official phone vote #BBUK

No but they have family in England who can

Some of us can. I live right next to the border so I can easily cross over and vote from Northern Ireland.

How can you tell? Sorry Polly - just seen the tweet.

I really doubt that it makes a huge difference. Not a lot of people watch Big Brother in Ireland and you can only vote once. It might count for 10-20% but I cant see it counting for much more than that

BB is not even very popular in Ireland, but it probably does mean he will not win.

that's vote smuggling

Pretty sure the ratings have been high in ireland

He's on around 2000 votes now, still 500 votes ahead taking away 50%.

Does make things a lot more interesting and tighter though.

It'd be too much to hope Hughie does an Eoghan Quigg with the inflated Irish votes.

We should be allowed to vote anyway, its shown on an Irish channel who presumably pay for it out of our license fee.

Yep take away half and he's on ~27%, basically what he's on most polls.

I agree - it doesn't make sense that you can watch but not vote.

Telly Mix polls are overrated, anyway.

TV3 doesn't get licence money,

People voting on regional bias is stupid anyway.

I'm in NI. I'll meet you there and push you back over. I want Evelyn to win.

Why would BBUK care where the votes come from? I guess it isn't all about the money (weird). On second thought, it's probably a good thing since I don't need to waste my money voting!

edit: I vote on Tellymix polls and I'm in America

This isn't about actual votes to win the show. These are votes in a poll about the show on one of the largest BB fan sites, Tellymix.

Hughie will still win the vote her in the UK .

I said this the other day when in reference to Marc O'neill. He was topping a lot of the polls and was a marmite character. The bookies had him as a favourite to win as well. When he came 5th it was like Solely because of how popular in the polls he was.

I still think Hughie will win with Andy runner up. I actually don't mind who wins now. I was just glad the likes of Alex, who has a mega following on Instagram ( someone said 300 thousand ) has gone. I had visions of all the young girls voting in their droves for him.

You can vote as many times as you like on tellymix.

I skew the poll results, if they are used to forecast who will win, since I vote on the polls but I can't vote for the show I still think Hughie will win but I would prefer Andy or Jason to win (or even Jayne)

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

Voting for hughie would be the worst vote since Helen, the guy isn't likeable, he's a foul mouth, ignorant little creep.
