Well, the extra half hour did absolutely nothing to affect the vote, which'll teach me to do that again.
So the final result which looks exactly as it did at 9.01pm is as follows:
There are also the re-votes, for the people who voted for Tippler and Joseph and who were allowed to change their votes. In this respect I was a bit disappointed as I only received TWO MEASLY EMAILS from people.
One vote for Penfold, and one for Clare.
Which means that yes, Clare, you are evicted. Where did it all go wrong? I must admit to being surprised by the way the poll went after the top three spurted off into the distance in the first few days of the week, but you really can't predict these things. At least I can't. I'm sad to say it, but here's a boot up the bum, and I expect to see you in the Diary Room shortly, crying gently whilst furiously puffing away at one of bedshaped's homemade bongs.
And would you look at that! With the extra vote for Penfold we have a tie for second place between Bob and Penfold, each of them sitting uncomfortably on 46 votes.
What should I do?
I don't really want to have to toss a coin but I will if I have to. If anyone has any better idea of how to settle on a loser I'll gladly accept your suggestions.
So please, REALLY, the comment box is below. Write in it. NOW.

Or there's always the "leave us both in or kick us both out" option.
Well, I like your idea Cat. Problem is that because bedshaped and Angelalala are joint top (with the leats votes) they will have to decide between themselves, and god knows if they'll be comfortable doing that.
Well bedshaped/Angelalala? Are you comfortable with that?
I agree with Angelala. Whichever one out of Penfold and Bob got most votes last week should be the one to go.
Amd the rule about person-with-least-votes overturning the eviction shouldn't really kick in until an eviction has been decided upon. They can't know who they want to save until they know who's going in the first place.
Welcome to the home of Big Blogger 2007. For the next eight weeks or so we will be watching (well, reading) the housemates as they complete their tasks, eake out a meagre existence, and do everything in their power to convince you, the blogging public, that they should be the ones to win the title of Big Blogger 2007. Who will win? You decide... (I could swear I've heard that before somewhere.)
Click on this link if you require any further clarification. And in case anyone is still utterly confused, here are The Rules.
The Housemates
Check out all the freaky weirdos beautiful specimens we've caged up just for you - and all in the name of entertainment too!
And the newbies too:
The House
It's missing a library, a nail salon and a coffee bar, but other than that it's a design masterpiece. You lucky people!
The Diary Room
Little Blogger AKA Minxy is always about nowhere to be seen, and therefore she won't do you a fantastic line in body stockings. Medium-sized Blogger IS there however and he has the world record for making rollies. So GO! NOW!! Do it, before it's too late!
A Concise History
Click the links to go straight to each task and/or each particular housemate's downright ludicrous response:
If you love Big Blogger in an almost entirely non-physical way then be a good sort and whack one of these attractive Big Blogger-themed thingies into your sidebar.
Our Links
Huge thanks go to Lucy Pepper for her wonderful illustrations.
Plus, even though he's not blogging anymore, let's remember Watski for coming up with this godawful idea in the first place.
AND, if you've got 300 years spare time on your hands you could use it to re-read the whole of the original 2005 Big Blogger event. Go on, I dare you.
The only other place we should really link to is the official BIG BROTHER website. After all, they're the ones who bought the rights to the concept in the first place; we're just adjusting it for our own purposes. I'm sure they'll understand.
So if you want intellectual stimulation and laughs-a-plenty, stay right where you are. However, if you want boredom, drudgery and maybe some tits and arse, go there instead.
I know where I'm going. Okay, see you later...
Legal Mumbo-Jumbo
The idea may not be original but everything else on here is of our own making and 100% original. So don't go borrowing unless A) you link back to us, or B) you ask us really really nicely beforehand.
Or there's always the "leave us both in or kick us both out" option.

Bagsy I win....?

Those aren't even suggestions.
Posted by:Big Blogger | Monday, 23 July 2007 at 21:48
Wasn't there something in the original rules about the person with the least votes being able to change the eviction?

Dib dob dib white rabbit no returns...?

Tails.

How about you put Clare back in and toss me and Bob out of the airlock...?
(Vogon poetry optional)

Well bedshaped/Angelalala? Are you comfortable with that?
(I think a coin toss is the way to go...)
Posted by:Big Blogger | Monday, 23 July 2007 at 21:51
If it gets to 10pm and I don't get a decision I AM tossing a coin.
Posted by:Big Blogger | Monday, 23 July 2007 at 21:55
Oooh - I've got an idea. Give me three minutes...
Posted by:penfold | Monday, 23 July 2007 at 21:55
I'd say look at last weeks votes and decide the loser using those numbers.
Posted by:Angelalala | Monday, 23 July 2007 at 22:02
And Penfold? If that's your version of three minutes I think I love you!
Posted by:Angelalala | Monday, 23 July 2007 at 22:03
Your three minutes are up, Penfold...
I agree with Angelala. Whichever one out of Penfold and Bob got most votes last week should be the one to go.

Next time I do this I'm getting rid of that fucking rule. It's more trouble than it's worth.
