Final supporters
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
THE PETITION IS NOW CLOSED BUT WILL BE UPDATED ONCE A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE BY OFCOM REGARDING OUR COMPLAINTS. THIS INFORMATION ONCE RECEIVED (ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 4-7 WEEKS) WILL ALSO BE SENT TO ALL SIGNATORIES BY EMAIL. IF YOU HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED YOUR COMPLAINT TEMPLATE PLEASE CONTACT US AT [email protected] AS ALL EMAILS HAVE BEEN SENT AND IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT THIS WILL BE DUE TO EITHER AN INCORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS SUBMITTED OR A POSSIBLE SERVER ERROR. MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!
The petition has been submitted to OFCOM and Channel 5 on the 20th August 2014. However, I have been informed that this will only count as one complaint! Although this makes a strong case for this individual complaint submitted; it is not good enough.
Therefore each of you will receive an email within the next 48hrs with a standardised email complaint and the details of where to forward this email onto. All you will need to do is add your name and contact details to the email before forwarding it on to OFCOM and Channel 5.
Channel 5 have said that the usual response time to complaints is between 5-7 days, however, since Big Brother ended on Friday the 15th August '14, the response time to complaints has been extended up to some 4-5 weeks! This clearly shows the level of discontent and the high number of complaints they are receiving regarding this matter.
You can check the number of complaints OFCOM is receiving here (updated weekly): http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/enforcement/audience-complaints/
Lets significantly increase this number by each completing your complaint email template.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR YOUR COMPLAINT TEMPLATE EMAIL FROM ONE OF THE FOLLOWING EMAIL ADDRESSES [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] AND REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR JUNK INBOX! ALL EMAILS WILL BE SENT WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS OR FROM 48 HOURS OF YOU SIGNING THE PETITION IF JUST DOING SO NOW.
If you have any questions or queries, or if you have not received a complaint template email within the stated time, please email us directly at [email protected]. A small number of emails have been returned to us so there are a few folks that must have made an error when writing their email and signing the petition. Contact us ASAP on the email above if you have not received your template.
IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY SIGNED THE PETITION BUT ARE VISITING THIS PAGE TO DO SO; PLEASE GO AHEAD AND SIGN AND YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE THE STANDARDISED COMPLAINT EMAIL WITHIN 48 HOURS OF SIGNING. WE MAY HAVE REACHED OUR TARGET BUT WE ARE STILL COLLECTING AND FORWARDING THEM TO CH5 & OFCOM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!
There have been a number of concerns raised around the voting practices on the winning night; including the claim that many were unable to connect to their chosen housemates vote line. We demand an independent and impartial investigation into potential unethical practices that may have been employed.
We also demand an impartial and independent investigation into the relationship between the Northern & Shell group, Richard Desmond, Channel 5 and the Big Brother UK brand; to reveal any self-serving interests that may have influenced the outcome of Big Brother UK 2014.
To raise our complaint this petition will be forwarded to OFCOM and Channel 5.
Should such hostile behaviour be cheered onto victory? You decide...?

The scale of the response reveals a deep dissatisfaction that goes beyond a single television program. I am currently coordinating the next steps to ensure that your individual concerns reach the proper regulatory channels.

Three simple questions.....was Pauline influenced by producers into granting Helen the pass to the final? Did Helen Wood get an appearance fee for Big Brother? Which housemates came through the audition process and which were auditioned via agencies?!
By giving this woman a pass to the final I believe Channel 5 were able to ensure she won this was not the viewers choice it was in my opinion her agent a part owner of channel 5's choice therefore all money spent voting on anyone else was made by deception
Why are we not told on the programme they can change or reset votes at any time, we have been cheated out of our money so that Helen could win. People tried voting but couldn't get through and the lines were still supposedly open. Fraud in my book
I tried voting via the app when emma announced we only had a few minutes left, I tried voting for Ashleigh on the all but it wouldn't let me, even the it said on the all lines were still open. Helen should not of won, especially after she broke the rules
A very very strange series in which a bully managed to get a free pass to the final and then win the show when social media painted a VERY different picture. seemed very contrived and worthy of investigation of the points raised in this petition.
everybody i know did not want helen to win they did not vote for her but ashleigh they did i cudnt get through to vote and i think it was fixed for helen to wi so do my freinds nobody is going to be watching the next bb its a fix

Helen Wood received 14 warnings in the first four days. Helen invaded personal space and bullied fellow contestants. Isn't it a coincidence that the only time Big Brother introduces a "pass to the final", the person who receives the pass actually wins?
