Leo Appreciation thread - Take two!

Although I'm obviously not happy that he nominated Priya

That moment with Priya when he came up to her and started massaging her back and said about nominations "listen to your heart Priya" ... "That's what I do". He walks out and then nominates her. Doesn't look good. :meh:

It made me think "what a snake". The accent is waning on me.

Well I guess he was listening to his heart and it told him to nom her again as he did last week. But yeah the timing though... LOL not the best look
 
He's a little two-faced, for sure. I think he's really concerned about being likeable/nice to the housemates to their faces, but can't deny himself his true feelings in the DR. What he said about Jason being "too nice" applied to himself rather than Jason.
 
I don't see the issue with him nominating Priya. I mean they have to nominate someone and he's not the only one that did it or the only one that's been having issues with her.

Also it's not like Priya hasn't given him a reason to dislike/not trust her (her trick telling Skye and the audience not to trust him for starters). I know Priya is the favourite around these parts but I don't think that should mean that the other HMs aren't allowed to touch her...especially when it's a two-sided thing.
 
Both Leo and Marina have a different number listed on Jump In than the other HMs but when I try to send votes to it, it says message failed. And because I've already been voting for Priya I can't figure out if the Leo votes are going through to the regular number because I've already received the thanks for voting message this week. Bloody hell.

I just sent him one to test it out (I hadn't voted yet this week) and it worked :)

I think it is possible for 1902 numbers blocked but usually you have to elect it. Your plan might limit the amount of calls you make to those numbers though...like mine limits the amount of premium SMSs I can send so I usually vote on FB.

The regular number was shown for Leo and Marina at the end of last night's episode, so I'd say your votes have gone through. At least I hope so! Bloody hell indeed. (Sort your shit out, channel nine lol)

Oh wow, I didn't realise that. When I switched to Telstra I made sure I had premium SMSs enabled - like the BB degenerate that I am - but from this on the Telstra help site it seems they've switched them off completely. Fricken hell... poor Leo and Marina got the shaft.

"Just to confirm, calls and text messages to 1900 numbers aren't included in any of our mobile plans or offers - on pre-paid or post-paid - and this is largely due to their cost, as most of them are subscription services. Though I take your point about pre-paid services being unable to run up a bill and that you feel you should be able to use your credit as you wish, Telstra has made a business decision that 1900 numbers are not available from any prepaid or postpaid mobile services."

Well I guess it's off to FB for me.

That's weird because I'm with Telstra too and I made a few BB voting calls just last week and they went through. I'm usually able to send say 20-30 premium SMSs per month before I get a response saying my premium SMS allowance for the month had run out and I wouldn't be able to send anymore.

Last year when FB was being dodgy for me I worked out that it was much easier to put a Vodafone sim into my old phone and just purchase recharge on the talk&text prepaid plan where you can use all of it on premium SMSs. It helped that while BB was on Coles kept having 30-50% off Vodafone recharge deals so I could buy $50 worth of premium SMS credit at a time for like $25-$35. It also gave me piece if mind it being prepaid so I wasn't worried about getting my phone bill after a voting period.

Luckily this year though FB has decided to cooperate so I can vote on there. Makes it easier being able to do it in bulk.
 
Wow, it's a bit unfair they have different numbers that a lot of people can't vote on (my plan doesn't allow me those numbers either so I always vote on FB).
Think I might throw a few votes Leo's way just in case people are trying to vote for him via sms and can't due to this mess. The SMS number listed looks like it was a mistake to me. Shouldn't it be the same SMS number for everyone?

It should be the same number! If I hadn't accidentally clicked on the voting tab and he wasn't first in the list I wouldn't have even known. Marina's at the very end of the list so you'd have to scroll down to notice. What a bunch of horseshit. They're in a tough spot as it is as intruders and while I don't care if Marina stays or not, it's not fair to them. Leo's second favourite to go home in the betting odds so he's already got to find a way to mission ahead of Cat to stay in the house. Dude doesn't need this too.

No more phone voting for me. FB only. Sorry Telstra... blame Ch 9 for all the $ you're going to miss out on this season.
 
I loved Leo in last nights ep, he is one smart cookie. I loved what he said about Jason because it was similar to how he explained what Priya said to Skye. I don't know if we'll ever see him get fired up but it must take a lot. I really liked Priya at the beginning because she seemed intelligent, funny and like she was in there with a game plan. All things I loved about Tim last year. However, I agree with Leo's assessment of her because it does seem like she's holding back a lot, and the baby talk stuff with Skye just makes me want to hurl. Can anyone say in her normal life Skye, Travis and Aisha would in any way, shape or form be included in her circle of friends?? There's no way. So although I appreciate a good game player, I also appreciate people calling her out on it (like Leo and David did). So at the moment they're my two favourites, Leo and David :happy:
 
I just checked from last nights show and on that it is 199 not 1902 so it looks like they have Leo's SMS number wrong on Jump In. Totally not fair. Imagine all the votes he is missing out from people who don't realise. Looks like he may go home.
 
I'm on Telstra pre-paid and haven't had any issues with votes going through, nor any caps on the amount you can put through. I use FlyBuys points at Coles to buy my credit so it doesn't even cost me real money. :thumbsup:

But, yeah the SMS number for Leo on Jump-In doesn't look right. Someone effed up.

Have you tried sending an SMS to a 1902 number? Gemini said it worked for her but it didn't for me. Yet the 199 number is working fine and that's the usual number for HMs. I even tested it by checking my balance after I voted a few times and they're going through on the 199 but that 1902 is a dud for me.
 
Hehe, are you trying to trick me into voting for Leo? :laugh: No chance babe!

It looks to me like they've put 1902 when 199 should be. It's definitely a mistake to me. Maybe someone should contact them because as much as I'd like Leo gone (by pure association to Skye) it's definitely not a fair race when they can't get the phone numbers right.

Just checked and the numbers published after the episode on TV last night look right. It's SMS Leo to the usual 199 number, not 1902.

Maybe you could tweet Mike Goldman, or post something to the BBAU Facebook page.
