Given how Jasmine behaved in the wake of face-to-face nominations - yet still has a forum poll lead of 10% - will it be simply impossible to save Rhian?

I was impressed with how Rhian handled nominations and that her expectations appear realistic. She might gain some anti-Jasmine votes as it's a two way - but does she have any support?

Disagree.

Forums inherently tend to favour interesting complex controversial ie more intetesting HMs eg Deana, BB12 Aaron, CBB9 Madson and now Jasmine etc.

Jasmine is way more interesting than Rhian and yet dull Rhian isnt that far behind on polls. Plus the casual viewers will vote to save Rhian. Jasmine - sadly - will be evicted.

I wouldn't trust any polls after last series. tellymix is the one that seems to be the most accurate in general, and that's showing rhian with 54% and jasmine with 46%.

It's generally a pretty safe bet that the forum polls will be wrong

A few changed their minds after voting Jasmine though, so the poll on here at least is not that trustworthy, the voting could be close.

Must admit i've not looked at the tellymix poll since it had Lauren around 20% ahead of Luke A to stay.

I think it is best to ignore polls and see them much more as a bit of fun or a indicater only of who is quite popular 'online' at least with many. That does not alway transfer to votes, plus a few do change their minds on some housemates after voting in the polls.

yeah I think that was the only one they got wrong all series though apart from the final which deana was leading.

Interesting - i don't find Rhian dull at all and i perhaps am more repesentative of the casual viewer than the hardcore BB forumer.

I was impressed at how Rhian wore a bikini. Keep her in.

Also polls do not represent individual viewers that multi-vote.
