I'm still hoping they set up a special phone line for "none of the above".

It'd be permanently engaged. ”

Good idea... I'm surprised that Endemol have not already thought of that... at 25 pence a shot !

I find your posts equally dull.

I am voting for Scott. Read my previous [dull] posts to find my reasons why.

As an aside, if you don't vote I don't believe you are entitled to an opinion on BB. It's us voters who are keeping BB going. If we didn't vote there would be no BB, so all you non-voters are sponging off the rest of us. A bit like if you don't vote in a election (which I don't). ”

Sorry, didnt realise I had to vote to be able to qualify for an opinion.

I apologise esp. to Endemol for not lining their coffers this year.

That does not alter my opinion on Scott, if it hadnt been for Nush, would we have noticed him in the house?

Can we have a last minute HM please?

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who kept Cameron in by voting for the HM's who were up against him.

YOU AND CAMERON HAVE RUINED BIG BROTHER - THANKS A MILLION

No way will I be voting, I haven't even watched it since the Friday 8:30pm show. The last remaining hope for this coming week faded and the thought of watching the smug look and hearing the fake OOOOOOOchhhhhhhhhhhh nnooooooooooooo, nooooooott meeeeeeeeeee when that vile ba****d wins is too much to bear.
So I will not be contributing to the £70,000 that Endemol have decided to give to him.

You don't have to vote....I was merely giving my opinion. But think about it. How much does it cost to put on BB? Millions. Endermol have to make money as they aren't doing this for charity. Obviously, they get their money from Channel and maybe a cut of the voting revenue. Channel 4 make money from the advertisers and the voting revenue to recoup the moey they paid Endermol. You surely can't expect to get BB for free. So you are relying on everyone else to do the voting so that you can watch it for free.

I voted for Scott approximately ten times tonight.
I was letting off steam at the thought of any of the other three winning.
However I also think Scott has a lot to say for himself and would be highly amusing - but not in this house.
He took one look around him and saw that there was no point in being lively - because he could see the others were having none of that and would have been nominated every week for it.

The BB3 house had room for anyone to go for it here and there
-but in this house one had to be carefull how alive they appeared to be!
A lot like having neighbours who from the minute you set eyes on them you just know you are not even going to be allowed ONE noisy party a year, even on your birthday.
So I think Scott has been astute and deserves lots of votes.

Or do I keep my money in my pocket thereby registering some sort of protest at the whole sham presented to us by C4 & Endemol this year?

Choices, choices... ”

I personally think that the best option. Endemol/C4 probably don't overly care who wins now; but they will want to make as much dosh as possible in the final week so expect some 'strange' voting options/methods.

Sorry but I think that's utter nonsense.

Thanks for your thoughts arguing why Scott, Maxiii.... but still it seems to be along the 'hidden depths to be revealed' benefit of the doubt that he's been given since week one. Good theory why he's failed to demonstrate such in the house, the atmosphere is so draggy in there, even Gaetano and Lisa were dragged down by it.

I agree though it's possible - perhaps even likely - that Scott is very different on the outside, as Gos was. Anyone who has written a play for Radio 4 as Scott apparently has, obviously has an intelligent and creative mind, and should, as you suggest, be an amusing or at least interesting conversationalist.

Well expounded mystic thank you.
