There are a lot of angry teenage girlies out there who are incensed 'cos he iz fit'.
There was a time when i believed such comment to be little more than BB related myth - but this summer i've seen enough evidence (via facebook and twitter) to convince me that one housemate has a dedicated following who are not necessarily thinking with their heads!

Normally the nasty but good-looking blokes don't last long. For some bizarre reason JJ seems to be proving the exception to the rule. I would be disappointed but not surprised if his legion of braindead tweenies voted Corin out.

It's an odd one, isn't it? I'm surprised Ife's odds aren't a lot shorter at this stage, however:
The DS poll has 32.5% wanting Corin to go - i.e. roughly 1/3 or what you'd expect on a random selection. (Ife's still on >53%, though...);

None of the HMs up for eviction this week have featured prominently in the HLs; and
As Prometheus says, there's all those JJ fans to consider...


Mind you: although Ife's not much shorter than 1/5 to go, she's currently a 100/1 rank outsider to win (even longer on Betfair...)

 I've never signed up with DS so... what kind of membership do they have? I know it's much bigger than here but can it be regarded as a reasonable indication of viewers feelings towards HM's and more importantly, are they usually right?
I'm not a member on DS either - I just lurk there...


Their eviction poll is currently based on over 1300 votes. Normally that would be very significant,  however:


"can it be regarded as a reasonable indication of viewers feelings": Probably not. There has been a feeling over the last few years that there's been a bit of a gap between the views on the forums (any forum - not just DS) and the views of the voting public. The gap appears to have grown this series. In short: there's no guarantee that any forum poll is a decent indication of the vote. (And remember: even "viewers feelings" doesn't necessarily translate into votes.,..) This leads to:


"are they usually right?": In the past, usually, but not always. However there were quite a few misses last year, and this year it's been all over the place. Again, it's not just DS: Pretty much all the polls and bookies (apart from the very late odds) got both the Rachael and Sunshine evicitions wrong.

There were late betting surges on both Rachael and Sunshine, though: keep an eye out for any sudden movement during tomorrow's HLs...
