Josie will win if the public vote for her to win, simple as. If people really dislike her they will vote for someone else to win, if they like someone else they will vote for them, if they like her they will vote for her. Everyone who picks up the phone has a say in it, just as those who picked up the phone last night did. If she's as unpopular as you believe then she won't win.
Yeah, we may have got a different result if it had been a vote to save, but we didn't, hardly worth protesting about imo and if it was Ben or Sam in her situation I v much doubt if you would be protesting.
Josie is in the final because that's what the hms voted for, most folk seemed to think that they would vote for Steve, if they had  then do doubt someone would be saying that he was their 'chosen one'!

No Erin.  The Great British Public removed her competition.

 true

Yeah, that's what I meant.

every year that theory is bandied about ...........i've never understood it. Why would it matter to BB who wins? I guess sometimes the more entertaing HM's get a bit more air time but that's inevitable isn't it? it's an entertainment programme FGS!

When people claim 'set up' 'fix' or 'BB's favourite' it is simply a case of sour grapes IMO.

Me neither. I've heard it explained as C4 "wanting a winner who is easy to control, and will do their bidding once the show is over".

But I rarely see C4 "using" a winner for anything after the show?

I just wish Sam was still there, live feed is crap without him.  Wonder if he'd get into UBB.

Ben said, " Don't underestimate the greys, they've got the money."  Everyone who watches/votes has a right to an opinion on who they want to win, irrespective of their age.There are so many negative references to 'tweenies,'  v disrespectful to young people imo, to assume that all young people are so shallow that they only vote for people because they are 'fit'

I totally agree with that Sups 

Well they did have a good run with Belo, he wouldve done anything and still does, one of Davina,s faves i think

He's just desperate Skylark and it's Davina's job to big him up.

Brisket, no-one is handcuffing any of us to our TVs/computers

Agreed, just annoying as it is seeing certain housemates being labelled as just having younger fans which is disrespectful to their fans in the older age groups IMO.

How is that Josie's fault Brisket?

Or Ben maybe?...PROTEST

My tweenies just get annoyed with me watching it.

and mine

Round of applause for Supes.

Most of the young people I work with have the good sense not to even watch it.

same here TBh - the ones i teach (11-16yrs) look like this when BB was mentioned - they didn't watch it -

 for the win

he actually said.....'i wouldn't mind mario,josie or andrew winning...anyone of those three'.........

What is a tweeney?..if its a teenager I know when I was a teenager my I was either out or my parents had the run of the telly so I think this tweeney voting is just another urban myth....

tis a mythical creature...   they gather in packs... nay, in armies...  and have huge amounts of disposable income to squander on voting in reality tv programmes (cos on most mobiles its £2 a vote)..   

Agh that makes sense cos they rather stay in and watch telly and pay £2 a pop on a vote than be down the local field with 4 cans of cider and 20 fags....

well my son says there are no fit birds in there so he isnt watching (thank God he didnt say about the guys!) He doesnt know any girls watching either, but going by the C4 comments there are some who did say JJ was fit, but whether or not it was older folk who knows?? We can all tick a box or say a different date of birth cant we?

its all a mystery, whos supporting the bloody monk i ask

... have 5 votes on a reality tv show...  and then have no credit to "txt m8's" up the fields..   no emergency texts to get someone to "bring a lighter"   

Reference: Christ on a bike!

Well there goes the last 0.0001% of doubt I had over the "tweenie vote" actually existing!

some viewers Jaf..    I can see why they would as well.    The bulk of people don't google housemates or go on forums...   so to them he is a housemate who yes, did go in as a bit of a religious loon, but over the weeks he has diluted a lot of the looney stuff...   in fact most of it.

He is sometimes quite funny...      I can see why he would appeal to some.  (not me... but hey ho)

Also...   so far there is no evidence that anyone IS actually supporting him...    all its says is that people have disliked other people more than him.

If they evict on finals night in order of votes..  then we will see.

Yep!   I know this for a fact..   cos I topped Ickles phone up with a fiver...  and checked the balance... £5.05..    then I voted twice on it...  went to vote again... and it said insufficient funds!

I then went online to check her payg account... and there it was   - £2 a vote!

i can see him 2nd ditty, h/l just dont show the real monk, and theres thousands of people who int seen what we have all seen on you tube i know

Or get late night chips on the way home cos the fit guy in the chippy's working....

I confessed to my friends at school I liked Makosi and Nikki Grahame, this when BB was a hot topic on the school gates.


Then I had a big massive debate in IT over Jade and Shilpa and before that during the year Chantelle was in CBB couldn't stop gossiping about her. Terry Christian proved popular also and Coolio...

so can I Jaf..  

and I know it looks like loads have seen the vids...  but I think they are still only a small percentage of people.

also..   and I hate to say this... cos its not how I feel...  but I reckon that there will be some who have seen the vids and don't see what all the fuss is about.   Different people have different values n all that.

And in the house (& especially on HL show)... he is always talking about "house of love" and bigging people up (yeah, I know.. on LF ten mins later he stabs them in the back)...  but some will take him at face value.

Have any of you thought that the church of Dave is mass voting with their funds to keep him in cos if he wins it will be gods work and mahoosive free advertising for them, depending on the programme being shown it cost on average 100k a minute to advertise in the Corrie break, so can you imagine what Dave actually winning is worth to his American and English church....

yeah... its so less cool if all you can afford is a pickled onion & beg him for some freebie scraps to go with it! 

A mystery indeed, we may never know

I did consider this ...     but I have no idea of how many people that would be

Dave was slagging off John James today with Mario then comforting Josie being nice about him.

I still think the reason Dave is still in there is purely down to him always being up against people MORE disliked than he is
