I messaged 10 Support from their link asking for the voting T&Cs earlier. See if I get a response.

Welcome to the discussion forums. To get posting, register an account.
Another thing is that previously voting was across different voting lines and SMS platforms, and with the added complication of votes to save/evict and controlled by an external entity (Legion Interactive for most seasons). So it was more important to audit the collation of votes and that it had all been computed accurately across those platforms. This year, there's only a single online poll that voters from the 10 app and website are all ultimately using. The only audit needed would be to check that there are no anomalous or suspicious voting patterns (multiple accounts from IP addresses etc).
They can see the current poll results at a click at any stage, and edit the daily shows as required if they choose to sway it. Do I think they would just fake the results? No. It feels to me like this whole idea is just a conspiracy theory spawned by some wording that probably got left in in error.

I just still can’t get past the fact we can only vote once. It makes no sense for a Vote To Save and I fear it’s going to result in (for lack of a better word) the “wrong” or “intended” people being evicted this season.
If it was Vote To Evict then at least it’s a direct vote that sort of makes sense if we only have a single chance to do so. As mentioned earlier, Vote To Save works best when you can send multiple votes to either the same person or to everybody except the person you want out - therefore you need the ability to vote more than once to effectively have your say.
I’m concerned we’ll start seeing HMs leaving by default with this current system (…if our votes even matter to begin with).

I know phone calls are so last decade but having SMS voting charging a token 55 cent fee would work wonders in inspiring viewer confidence.

I think it’s odd that there is no mention of “don’t forget to vote for this Sundays eviction” head to Bigbrother.com.au and vote to save, Jane, Michael etc
Historically voting prompts have been in every daily show?
Of all nights tonight would have been the night to atleast include it in the daily show … but nothing

Yeah, ITV has T&Cs for its free BBUK voting. They seem a bit wishy-washy, but at least they exist.

That would have been nice but not forgetting to vote is all over their social media; plus there is a constant stinger with the QR code to vote plastered on their channel all day. If anyone wanted to vote they would be prompted by these 2 things.

Only one vote seems designed to help those getting the biggest edits on TV to survive I'd say. It's gonna hurt someone like Alanna who is great but isn't getting as much of an edit on the edited TV episodes compared with the livestream.
