Ive not got the figures at hand, and Ive looked about as I guess you have at the BBC site etc, but as I recall it was around 682,000 in a couple of hours.

And this gives me a perfect opportunity to apologise for being so pompous the other day

sorry old chap, and have a nice day

someone will come up with the figure from the book I hope

I can't remember where I got the figure from, but I have a total of 862,371 re-entry votes.

Does that mean all votes for every housemate?

Yes. The breakdown was Jon 62%, Lisa 12%, Gos 10%, Fed 9%, Justine 4% and Sissy 3%.

I caught the actual # in the tail end of another thread there.

Jon got 534,440 votes to re-enter

I was a bit overenthusiatic in my estimation

Thanks, RG and Goodfella.

That's pretty good going for a couple of hours' voting.

So could it be said therefore that Jon was 4th favourite, having got many more votes to go back in than Steph got to win?

But I expect there's something logically wrong with this argument.
