Does anybody know anything about why we should believe the voting percentages? At the Oscars they make a big deal about the independent auditors. Any lawyers out there? Why doesn't CBS have a legal obligation to make their profit from the phone calls known? Also, I admit I am just very curious as to how many votes there were each time, the average number of calls from one phone number, where the votes came from geographically, etc.

There's no legal obligation for the Oscars. By the way, the voting is simply supervised by independent auditors, it is not audited itself.

I am curious as to the number of votes. I find it very hard to believe the percentages. All day long, on the on line poll sites, Curtis was running in the high 30s Eddie around 45%. Josh was way down! What happened? The BBFC poll had always been fairly accurate. I cannot believe the 59% vote.

BB is controlled by CBS and associates. I doubt anyone will ever know exactly the whats and whys and what fors.

CBS did, at one time, admit that the biggest booboo of the show was letting Britt be banished when she was. If they could control things, why didn't they stop that, or was it that they learned from that?

I'd like to know, but won't obsess over it. What's done, is done.

Does anyone know if they released the percentages for the week when Jamie was banished? I never saw them, and I think that was the only week they didnt release them.
