Bigg Boss 4: Bigg Boss voting system rigged by some inmates?

Bigg Boss: Inmates spend lakhs to “buy” votes?

Some inmates in the Bigg Boss season 4 house may be spending a few lakh rupees each time they are nominated for eviction by their colleagues, reveal sources. Since the computerised system does not allow bulk SMS messages, some inmates may have purchased a few hundred SIM cards through their relatives and friends for which they would pay them. A former inmate who almost made it to the end and just about missed the jackpot, tells us how he paid about Rs 300 each to about a 10OO-odd people and asked them to vote for him to ensure that he was not eliminated or evicted even if he was nominated by his colleague-inmates.

Another source told us how inmates with a great fan following – particularly politicians, actors and even models will tell their friends and the friends of their friends to vote for them. One such actor had distributed Rs 200 each to about 5000 persons not directly himself, but through friends and friends of friends. While the above allegations cannot be individually verified as all information is normally off-record and nobody will speak officially or on record, but it is true that such “rigging” is possible and may be happening.

There were rumours and reports that Rakhi Sawant had tried to rig the voting system when she was in Bigg Boss, Season 1. Later on when she lost out by a small margin in a dance show, she herself made allegations against the winning couple. It was also rumoured that Ravi Kishen’s fans in his home town had distributed “free SIM cards with bundled talk time” to others to make them vote for him. This year too, there were unconfirmed reports that Manoj Tiwari’s fans were offering free SIM cards. However, none of these rumours could be verified in the respective towns.
