awwwww thanks brisket - he is a good Hm - i have only started popping over to DS regularly this year - just to compare  really but it seems to mirror here - there is actually a thread  called Mario to win  - with plenty contributing

That is comforting ros. Appreciate the information. 

Mario, to win by a staggering margin !!!!!
Brisket  - one thread

night

Goodnight ros        and thanks agin.

Less than 44 hours left.
Still time to vote for Mario to win.

Morning Brisket and Marios.
MARIO TO WIN!

Hello Yogi. and Marios. 
Come on Mario 

Voting is very close between Mario and Dave.
(It almost hurts me to mention them in the same breath.)

Afternoon Brisket & Mario's I can't believe that Dave is even still there, never mind that he could win... or even come second!!

Sadly Dave's odds have shortened a little more, while Mario's have drifted out a bit.
Don't like it.
Who can be voting for Dave (all his sloshfest followers?)
I'm willing it for you Mario.

Probably trying to keep him in there..... and who can blame them! We can only do our best Brisket.... and you have certainly given it your all

hi
How is  flippin Dave doing it - WHO is voting for him - he seems unpopular everywhere

I don't understand it either.

Hi Fairax Guess we must be out of step with the GBP on here.....

but baz - how can we be - loads on here do not like him

I know Ros.... but loads on here didn't like JJ either.....but it didn't get us anywhere, until last Friday I was hoping, with Dave, that it was just a case that people disliked him, but disliked others more.... however the betting odds suggest that may have been wrong...

but dave is a complete charlatan - looked how immature he was with Sam - 'I've been here longer than you etc' - - i really can't believe it

I agree Ros.... and then some, all we can hope is that the bookies have slipped up this time, but it's not looking good I do feel that C4 has protected the GBP from Dave's nastiness though....

Thanks very much for your uplifting emoticon display.
It helps to remind me that it's not over until it's done.
Baz, Yogi, ros, Fairfax, erinp  and all Mario supporters -  your hopeful thoughts are appreciated.
I note than not all bookies have Dave as 2nd favourite.  3 or 4 still have Mario at shorter odds.

So as long as hope remains - so do we. 
We are still with you Mario.

Josie is now even longer odd ON to win.
Dave is establishing himself  at 2nd place (although a few bookies still favour Mario.)
Mario is in the middle of the field.
Only a few hours left now.
When voting yesterday I kept getting an engaged tone, but got through eventually.

With some bookies Andrew's odds have shortened (a couple of them have him overtaking Mario.)
But the majority show little change. Dave ahead of Mario. Mario in the middle of the field.

Afternoon Brisket & Mario's  I've still got  my finger crossed, but it looks like a fait accompli regards the winner.... just hope Mario can beat Dave!

Me too Baz.
I'm proud of our boy being in the final.
I bet it feel like a very very long day in the house..........
Forever hopeful. 

Not giving up !!

Hello guysJust popping in to say :may the best wo/man win

Thank you erinp and Super

Good luck Mario

Good luck Brisket.... whatever happens you've done him proud.... and I've loved the thread

You are so kind Baz 
Thank you so very much  

Mario in 3rd place.
You've been great Mario.  You can hold your head high.
It's been a pleasure supporting you.

Well done Mario

Well done Mario 3rd place is brilliant although I think he was robbed he should have at the very least been second

Thank you so much Marguerita. I agree he should have been at least 2nd. 

well done to Mario.
You did the guy well Brisket
He should have been second ,but we were denied the right to vote on final night,cant believe it .
Mario had a fab exit.
