he's stil a Governor and being a celebrity or not isn't in the same league as even that

Davina Just said that Chantelle had 54% of the vote between her and Barrymore.

Yes, indeed, although I must admit I thought it was 56%. It was stated that her percentage of the final vote (i.e. between her and MB) was in that region. So she scraped in, in a rigged contest!

Good luck to the girl. They were trying to prove some strange point and were never going to let anyone else win , were they. I think Barrymore did well to top the original 10 celebrities who entered the contest.

:yawn: Cant you people just get over it CHANTELLE won !

Michael is a celebrity, Chantelle was not.

Jodie was the REAL winner.

how come??

yawn..
The real winner is the person that gets the most votes and that is Chantelle.
Why are Barrymore fans so bitter?

Well Chantelle wasn't a real celeb, Barrymore is under investigation, Traci and Dennis were American, Maggot didn't do anything, Pete was just wrong, Rula is Polish and George is a politician, as well as Preston being rather obscure and Faria is only famous for giving a BJ, the ONLY TRUE CONCLUSION YOU CAN DRAW IS THAT JODIE WON!!!111


[/sarcasm]

See the other ten threads saying exactly the same bit of logic but still not helping him to win...

your mission of hate failed.. get over it please.

What are you going on about (and no offense...going on about missions of hate..would it not be a good idea for you to "get over it" as you say)? Didn;t Barrymore lose by the way?

chantelle may have got 40 times the number of votes that Barrymore got. So is he still the winner. They dont tell you the difference in votes between 1st and 2nd...do you know what i mean...yeah

Did he look like a loser yesterday?

Well, apart from Davina quoting that Chantelle got 55% of the final vote, leaving Barrymore with 45% - give or take a few decimal places, I suppose you are right.

Yes...he certainly didn't win.

Semantics.. try and be happy for him.

Chantelle is a manufactured celebrity though isn't she?....manufactured by Endemol....yes, she has become a Celebrity, but could she have done it without this show?

So, in effect a Celebrity did win, but not one that has a talent, or is famous for something, other than being given the opportunity by a TV production company....just as those winners of Pop Idol, Stars in Their Eyes etc etc.

Does this mean that people who win Who Wants To Be A Millionaire or Weakest Link are also Celebrities?

"Michael Barrymore from the telly" is what Chantelle said.....Chantelle Houghton from where?

Michael was already a star......and Michael did win of the true celebrities in the house.
Michael was also so happy that Chantelle won.
Michael also doesn't bare grudges.

It's only a game show, and the best thing that Chantelle said was that all the arguements are left in the house....good on her....more mature than Jodie Marsh who should know better really.

Congrats Chantelle, make the most of it.....don't lose your innocence either, and above all else, don't let it get you down....you can learn alot from the real celebrity winner, Michael Barrymore

Is this post a contradiction?....well, yes, maybe....but only because Celebrity Big Brother became a contradiction

I'm happy he came second...

From the BBC News website:
Chantelle took 56.4% of viewers' votes, with entertainer Michael Barrymore polling 43.6% to come second.

Good result for her but hardly a landslide. Just think what MB would have got without all the controversy....but then again, without all that, he wouldnt have been in there because the fee would have been loose change for him.

Is this incorrect then?

Nice to see some facts. Well done Dazzam.

I won't bother posting again but rather quote this post as some seem to think that the average Joe cannot become a Celebrity

Another debate with no definitive conclusion!

For the record: Chantelle is the official winner of Big Brother.

However, some observers beleive that she should be disqualified, because she wasn't really a celebrity at the outset, even if she is one now. These observers believe that Chantelle had an unfair advantage over the others because she attracted a sympathy vote, rather like an 8 year old child in an adult singing contest.

Another analogy would be the athlete who wins a race with the aid of drugs.

Whether or not you subscribe to this point of view, none of this was Chantelle's fault, of course. She was no less a pawn of Endemol than any of the others.

I have to say, not many (if any) are blaming Chantelle. I just think it gets up people noses that what appear to be contests in which the public are supposed to have a say with regards to the outcome, are increasingly becoming situations in which the "result" seems predetermined. This is not the first time this appears to have happened, allegedly.
