That poll and the voting has no meaning to me at all. I posted it because people were discussing the votes and CBS put the info out there, for what it's worth.. No sweat.

BB fixed or not - with a vote that involves any percentage of show-only viewers, it will never go the way feed watchers think it should or will.

But Dani is going to win BB 13. lol :-)

i think alot of people voted for brendan because they thought rachel was leaving and they wanted to make her cry some more.

Kady, you might have a point, but we'll never know. Only CBS knew who was going home and whether it needed to be fixed IMO.

As far as POV is concerned, I'm convinced that their little bag only has certain names in it.

Yes, I'm as cynical as they get, lol

I just checked the show (it was still on my TIVO) and yes, she did say "over 2 million votes" here on the west coast.

I even turned on the closed captioning which verified that she said 2 million, not 3 million.

the statistics person in me...

brendon at 1 million votes exactly would mean minimum 2,530,000 would have had to voted to equal his 39.5%.

now to me 2.5 million is a benchmark number to announce. imo julie should have said over 2 and half million people voted. techinically anyone number up to 2,999,999 and u can say over 2 million but i think most would say 2 million or 2.5 million or close to 3 million (if the total was 2.8 million or above). choice of words seems a little strange to me.

I heard 3 million. I don't have the time to go back and rewatch it. But I do remember hearing Shelly gave a sharp intake of breath at the numbers and laughing and thinking to myself 'at 10 votes each that's only 300,000 people - big whoop.'

:-)

At any rate, the math doesn't work any way you look at it, so something or someone isn't right.

Doesnt mean there name was picked everytime - just means also that they were chosen by someones "choice picks"

maybe not everyone wanted to choose Dani, Rachel or brendon to play on there side -

Adam told Dani he has played in all but one also. She was very surprised....

ok I reserve the right to change my theory but.... come on, Dani gets a POV PASS. an Automatic addition to a POV comp.

so theoretically, if she is not picked to play and NOT on the block already, she can PLAY pov and possibly protect herself.

I dont know details but WOW, that is such a great thing to have its almost as good as a COUP de DANI

Dominic is doing another Q/A on twitter now. He doesnt think voting is rigged and thanked all for votes.

Boy, was that HOH debatable!!! Between Daniele and Porsche you could argue the difference of coins in the chest. Now, are we going to count the coins to make sure?? NOOOOO ! so, what 50 coins difference looks like to you??? To me it could have been either way, no one is going to count them to tell you wrong or right.

that was definitely a NONrigged HOH. it was simple guesstimation and math. However, its pretty obvious that some people do not have much mental ability

dani was really out a few times, but others were worse. i had to laugh at the expressions

The answers were pre-sealed in envelopes given to Kalia. Do you think they ran out after the answers were given to hand Kalia the envelope?

Oh I don't know, I think Jeff, Jordan, Brendan, Rachel, Shelly, Adam all getting eliminated one right after the other..LOL Somehow they rigged that I'm sure.

I'm only kidding, but if one of them had won, especially if had been either of the 4 JJ/BR I know I would have seen a post SOMEWHERE that this game was rigged.

I understand the pre-sealed answers but my point is that you're never sure what the real count is if you can't verify... I guess is more like who's the closest to the answer in the envelope but never of the real count of the objects displayed... Oh well, between Porsche and Daniele may as well be Daniele, one less HOH for her to play next week..

Well, it doesn't really matter if the number in the envelope isn't correct. It's still the standard by which everyone is judged, right or wrong.

Personally, I don't see why they wouldn't count or weight or whatever to use good answers for the envelopes.

it would have been easy to count prior to sealng the envelopes. Jars of olives used, decks of cards used, packages of salami used, packages of beads used.... baseballs would ahve been counted by hand prior to comp tho.

everything else would be precisely counted, coins would probably be fake coins from a package as well.

Exactly -- BB wouldn't have had to count them one by one. They would have counted how many were in a package. Maybe a dozen baseballs in a package and they used 10 packages, so 120. then take a few out to make it an odd number.

This was certainly one HOH competition that could not be set up to make one person win. No "fix" in this one! This one relies on luck mostly and good estimating secondly.
