10,000. Probably would have been fourth or fifth without it. So basically a company spent two and a half grand to ensure he won. So much for the best man (OR WOMAN AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN) winning.

I knew it was a conspiracy!

 

[Mentalist]

Were not sure if our calls made ANY difference

Yeah because 10,000 calls to a show that was struggling to pull 500,000 viewers (let alone voters) wouldn't be effected by 10k of votes!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Exactly...ratings were low, it was only on E4, there was little hype for the final...the percentages were very close between him and Emilia and I'm almost definitely sure she would have won without those 10,000 (if the story is true.) But I guess having a deserving winner FOR ONCE is too much to ask from BB.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Whatever happened to showing the final on C4? That's what they said on the opening night.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Well, I'm glad they didn't, people would be watching and voting who had only seen the first episode, in that case...but they probably would have been voting for John who won anyway SO FUCK IT.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I'm sure those people would have voted for John like you say since he had the limelight in the first show and he came off looking like a cool bloke.

 

[CaptainWacky]

At least we'll never hear from him again.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

But we always hear from BB housemates again. He'll be on the next "Top 100 Countdown" show for sure.

 

[CaptainWacky]

LIKE PETE WAS?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

He's now a male stripper.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Eww.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Well, not really.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Oh. Good.

LOL HE'LL HAVE THE CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE WITH HIS PLASTIC FANTASTIC MAGIC PANTS SONG OR SOMETHING.
