usually its easy, if there is someone I really want out I vote for them.   Or if 2 people are up, and one is one of my faves.. I will vote for the other to save my fave... but that only works on a 2 hm contest.

this week I had a different dilemma... do I vote for the one who I know is a shameful horrible person outside the house, but in terms of viewing he doesn't bother me that much, or the one I least enjoy watching in the house, the one I would really like to not have to watch anymore,  but who is a pussy cat in the real world compared to the other one.

Easy answer to that one is not to vote at all

But isn't that tactical
It's not a tactical decision on my part, more of a personal one, and it doesn't give my favourite an advantage either way anyway...so I'd have to say no.

Tactical voting relies on second guessing millions of other voters so I can't see the point tbh.


If I didn't vote with my heart I'd just be cheating myself out of my last BB experience.

Ok... so maybe I shouldn't have used the word tactical..... but wasn't sure what else to call the fact that you really dislike one person, but vote for another to get someone else out.... just as you described...  *I think that's what I meant*

There's always a lot of talk about tactical voting, and I'm sure some people do it. However, the evidence suggests it doesn't work. There simply isn't enough organization amongst the fan bases (and the forums aren't anything like powerful enough now anyway.)


The only example I can think of tactical voting having any discernable affect was when Freddie fans voted to keep Bea in last year, but (a) that was a vote to save, where it is easier to make a difference at the "lower end", and (b) look how well that turned out for all those Freddie fans!

It's my fault, I wasn't very clear. I dislike Dave and Ben  neeearly equally...... so wouldn't mind either going. I find Ben slightly more entertaining though so on that basis I should vote for Dave.

On a different level though part of me would prefer to see Ben go because I think it would improve my enjoyment of the forum. Although I have to say it's become a little more balanced here lately..... you can dislike Ben without being a outcast to society now.

Niether choice is tactical though..... just down to personal choice. Do I vote to improve my enjoyment of the show....or the forum? And as I spend more time here than watching BB.... I'll probably go for the latter.
