We, the undersigned, request and demand that Channel 4 Television Ltd (Channel 4) conduct an immediate investigation into the operation of the telephone voting lines for the Big Brother eviction held on June 13 2008. We make this request following numerous reports that the telephone lines for contestant Mario Marconi (Shaun Astbury) were unavailable for voting during periods of the Channel 4 eviction telecast, whilst lines for other contestants remained open.

In the event this is proven, and regardless of any projections Channel 4 or their broadcast partners may make in regards of how the vote would have unfolded, we request and demand that Channel 4 reinstate Stephanie McMichael to the house at the earliest feasible opportunity, in the interests of vote integrity and fair competition.
