    Default BB8 eviction costs - Halved // Voting by text scrapped

    The price cut is aimed at keeping the voting 'fair and transparent'.

    “Cutting the cost of phone votes will hopefully encourage the highest possible number of our viewers to interact with the program.”

    In another development, viewers will not be able to vote to evict by text during this series.

    "This is because the mobile phone operators cannot process the votes within a time frame suitable for the voting procedures on the program."
    Thoughts? I vote by text - so it's unlikely I'll vote this year, but with the price halfed, I might as well ^^

    So if the texts don't fall into the time frame how come they did last year ....
    I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.

    They're removing text voting this year.
    Last year they closed the text lines about 5 minutes before they closed phone lines.
