probably really bad, they usuaully release the total votes at the end last year's were around a couple of hundred thousand throughout the series compared to BB3 where it was 10+ million
Which is what I'm guessing too. That means it would take far less votes to sway it to 83%.

Does that really matter? 81% is 81% regardless of numbers voting isn't it?


Yeah, it's still the same, but if less and less people are voting, you really don't get an accurate picture.

Suppose 100 people voted and out of that Angel got 81 votes. But if 1000 voted, it means she got 810 votes. The more that voted, the more accurate the picture really is.

I'm not good at maths so this comment may be shot down in flames. I think that many people liked both Angel and Halfwit but preferred the latter; hence their vote. I wondered if the percentage might have been different if Angel was up against another housemate.

I watch Numbers! Laugh

Percentages are about the only maths I can do - so I can figure out in the sales if what I'm getting is a bargin or not.

Apologies Suzi, no good at IT either. Accidentally merged my comment with yours.

If it had been Angel against, say Sree, she probably would have stayed. I liked Angel because she wasn't one of the run of the mill housemates, just as Freddie isn't.

I think it's interesting that they don't release the actual voting figures.

Something like that. If it's 20% I do 2 10%. My favourite is 25% because then I just divide by 4.

My mind works in mysterious ways, and not always in the right way.
