ICSTIS, Big Brother, 2,700 complaints

Link: BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Watchdog checks Big Brother vote.

Icstis is checking whether Big Brother breached its code of practice by asking viewers to vote for their return to the show.

This states that "services and promotional material must not mislead, or be likely to mislead, by inaccuracy, ambiguity, exaggeration, omission or otherwise".

It’s a little misleading, surely, to tell people ‘text who you’d like voted out’, then put said persons back up for a premium vote to stick them back in again, isn’t it?

"The majority of the complainants believe that they have been misled as they were under the impression that they had voted to evict the contestants permanently," the regulator’s statement said
