POLL RESULTS: Should Celebrity Big Brother Be Axed?

The final CBB7 poll asked if Celebrity Big Brother should be axed. Although the results were always going to be biased towards Big Brother, a staggering 75% of you want to keep Celebrity Big Brother. Only 12% of voters wanted CBB axed and the rest wanted the reality show to take a year off.

The final series of Celebrity Big Brother managed to turn public opinion around, after last year's series drifted in the ratings. This series has been a ratings winner with several high profile celebrities calling for the programme to continue, although Channel 4 has said the show remains axed.

Results:
Yes, axe it 9 (12%)

No, keep CBB 53 (75%)

Take A Year Off 8 (11%)

CBB7: Alex Reid Wins Celebrity Big Brother Final

The final of Celebrity Big Brother 7 was eventually won by Alex Reid, as the cage fighter went head to head with Dane Bowers. This time the pair were not at a New Year's party, but at the very last Celebrity Big Brother final. Dane and Alex won half of the total votes between them during the eviction final. Alex eventually won with 65.9% of the public vote.

Alex Reid won over public affection during the four week stint inside the Big Brother house, exposing his weaknesses with his open and honest talking (as well as exposing himself to housemates with Jonas!). He proved himself the real winner after rising above the comments of Vinnie and the taunts of the other housemates to become the favourite in the final days of the series.

Dane Bowers came second in the final with 34.1% of the public vote, after beating Vinnie Jones (3rd), Jonas Altberg (4th) and Stephanie Beacham (5th).

CBB7: The Housemate To Finish Third Was.....

Day 27: Finishing in third place in the Celebrity Big Brother final was one time favourite Vinnie Jones. In the most shocking eviction of the night as the tough man got 20.2% of the vote, Vinnie looked surprised not to have won the final.

Crowds had been booing every time Vinnie's name was mentioned and housemates had heard this during an earlier eviction. Vinnie told Alex and Dane that you never know what the press have been saying or what Big Brother had been showing.

At the start Vinnie was the clear favourite to win the last ever Celebrity Big Brother, but as 'daddy' of the house his luck ran out as he clashed with housemates such as Lady Sov and Sisqo. He was never able to recover from his weakened position and viewers didn't like his assertive nature - in the end they opted for Dane and Alex as the final two housemates.

CBB7: Fourth Housemate In Celebrity Big Brother Final Is....

Day 27: The housemate to finish fourth in the Celebrity Big Brother final was Jonas Altberg (Basshunter) with 12.8% of the public vote. Jonas had entertained the public with his early romance and streaking in the garden as well as impressing the girls while in a mankini.

With the departure of his friends from the CBB7 house, Jonas became quieter and public support slowed. But the Swedish singer can hold his head high as he'll be a busy boy now he is out of the Big Brother house.

CBB7: The Housemate That Finished Fifth Is.......

Day 27: The housemate to finish fifth in the Celebrity Big Brother final with 8.6% of the public vote was Stephanie Beacham. She had been the final female inside the CBB7 house after Nicola's surprise eviction on Wednesday.

Bookies had predicted Steph would be the first housemate to be evicted during the live final on Channel 4.

CBB7: Vinnie And Alex Top Sun Poll

Day 27: It looks like it could be neck and neck between bookies favourite Alex Reid and previous favourite Vinnie Jones. Over 6,000 readers have voted in The Sun's online poll and Alex is narrowly leading with 38% of the vote. Vinnie Jones is just 7% behind him in what could become a nail biting CBB7 Final tonight.

Dane Bowers was voted into third place on 18% of readers votes, having slipped back in recent days. The only female left in the Big Brother house looks unlikely to win the reality show as Stephanie Beacham only has 8% of the vote. Surprisingly, Jonas Altberg finished last in The Sun poll with just 5%.
