Ugh. I hate stuff like this. I really don't understand why families are allowed to do it. Feels like we're back on the playground with one kid yelling "my family has more money than you" to the other HMs families.Last years winner Ben had write ups in the Herald Sun to vote for him.

That's why I kind of think, to make the final about who has the most people voting for them, rather than who has the most money, they should make the voting free or limit to one vote each if paid. That way the person with the most supporters would win.
Doubt that would ever fly though!

Yeah!!!
This years been absolutely ridiculous in regards to voting. Of course ben was never going to win or even make it past someone like ed....could you imagine the 16.8% vote ed had that week compared to bens 16.4% (sprry if i'm wrong with the %), the 0.4% gap might've been HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE like...1000 + votes huge!! His family are desperately trying to get him to win! I wouldn't be surprised if he made it through this week and drew was evicted!!!
I wouldn't even be surprised if ed maked top 3 FAR OUT !! WORST OUTCOME EVER
imagine top 2
Ed vs Tahan
Battle of who has the most money to support them

Yeah I really like that one paid vote per person limit. Free voting would just lead to a bunch of fake accounts spamming the system but at least when you pay there is only so many telephone numbers, credit cards and Paypal accounts a person can get a hold of to try to rort the system. It's not a HMs fault if their family has the cash to go all out like the Lowers are doing but on the flipside it's not the fault of another HM that their family doesn't have that cash. There has to be a better way to equalise the playing field for sure.That's why I kind of think, to make the final about who has the most people voting for them, rather than who has the most money, they should make the voting free or limit to one vote each if paid.

Yeah exactly, it would definitely result in the most popular person winning, whoever that turned out to be!

Would anyone be able to post the add on here as I don't get the Sunday Mail. Please?
I am tragic at pasting stuff! - go to page 34 of the Ed is a Deadset Prick thread and there is a picture of the ad there now.

We are speaking about the Lower family
How much would that size ad cost? Wouldn't It make more sense to pour that money into voting instead? Strange.

I think that ad is a pretty slimy thing to do, to be honest. However, I can't see it encouraging people to vote for Ed. Either you are an Ed fan and will vote for him anyway, or you aren't an Ed fan and the only thing the ad will do is *maybe* make you send a few votes to another housemate just out of annoyance.

Hahahahahahaha

seriously, page 79 in a Sunday paper. hardly anyone is going to see that and i doubt it will convince many of those that do to vote.
its almost like a concession of defeat.

That is fucked. Sorry if that offends, but there is no other word. It's pathetic on their part. These Lower's really are living up to their name... just when you think they won't stoop lower, they do!
I mean, I'm all for supporting your loved ones, and if I had a relative in the house I would do the same. But this is actually quite bizarre. It's ok though, I can't imagine anyone would be swayed to vote for him by an ad in the paper. Surely not?
That would be wonderful. But yeah, never gonna happen. Either of those scenarios would be a much better gauge of the publics preferred winner, I think it would change the game completely. If only...
Haha, awesome pic.

The person with the lowest odds (currently Ed at 1.08) is the punters prediction to be evicted. Jade is next likely to go, then Drew and Tim is considered the least likely to leave.

LATEST ODDS
Sportsbet
Ed $1.25
Jade $2.50
Drew $9.00
Tim $19.00
Sportingbet/Centrebet: No change.
I'm blaming that two dollar drop in Jade's odds in the 6 hours since I last posted them on that newspaper ad. I know that probably isn't true but I'm sticking with it anyway haha

Wow I really said I wouldn't vote again but here we are once more. Should I send some votes to My Lady Jadey? I'll wait and see how things are looking on Wednesday.
