The upshot, in my mind, is that winners and losers are just being decided on the size of the audience of the programme that the housemate comes from.

But don't let me disturb your pathological bear slating in every randon thread.

We were told that vote to save was better than vote to evict and that the interesting housemates would stay.

It hasn't worked. All the sheep who watch programmes like eastenders just seem to vote on that basis.

I think Marnie will win based on Geordie Shore's current popularity.

Youre probably confused about the result because you're rejecting the information we have lol...
The information we have is the people he was up against, fans of Big Brother would rather see Ricky than the 4 competitors he was up against.
You rejecting this information is why you dont understand, hope that clears things up

Maybe stop using question marks if you don't actually want the answer to avoid this in future.

No that isn't how voters think.

They don't pick the phone up and think "hmm that Ricky bloke is boring as **** but I like him a little bit more than that bellend Lewis so I will vote for Ricky."

Voting costs money. Something has to motivate people to pick up the phone and spend money voting. It isn't Ricky's personality doing that. The mouth-breathers have just seen someone from "Walford" and voted for them because "Eastenders is dead good innit."

Oh.. Youre genuinely confused? I thought you just didn't want to concede lol. Um, you're underestimating the anti-vote. It definitely exists, and its definitely enough motivation for a lot of people. I dont know of anybody in person or on forums who vote based on the tv shows that they enjoy but that could be another theory too. Although, its unlikely because James beat Marnie once.. Thats more like down to the anti-vote.

Is it just eastenders fans voting or what? I honestly forget he is in the house most of the time.

That's exactly what I was thinking. How did we not see that he was opting out the whole time. No feathering the other night and no egg nog tonight. The Americans are so putting Ricky up tomorrow. He is no craic and what we Irish would call a dry-sh1t which is similar to wallpaper! Bye bye Ricky

Yes, agreed. The anti-vote is an effective way to get a message across.

In other circumstances, in a different series and with different housemates, I don't think Ricky would have come out top in a vote to save. And he certainly would not have a chance of winning.

However, I don't believe this vote is about Ricky at all.

This is not an Eastenders vote, but a protest vote, and the large majority of viewers sending a clear message to the likes of Bear and Lewis (and probably BB) that they've had enough of the fake, regurgitated 'performances' of those from what are ironically referred to as 'reality' shows, in which there is more acting than there is on Eastenders, but of a very poor quality.

It is a protest vote from genuine long term fans of CBB who don't want to see the show they love become just another version of GS, EOTB, TOWIE, etc. It is a protest vote for genuine, decent housemates with morals over the infantile, selfish, conceited and one-dimensional housemates whose bullying and degrading actions have suffocated other housemates and destroyed this series, making it the worse CBB we have ever had.

yup

The con artist, the unfit mother, the racist, the love cheat, the gangsters wife, the Hitler supporter, the porn star granny, the Brother exploiting his sisters fame, the big head female, the big head male, the 43 year old Boominator who picks on young girls.

Now James has gone they only have Ricky left and even he likes to have a Tommy Tank on live web cams with a joint in one hand and his todger in the other.

Don't know why Bear is the only poster boy for this shower of reprobates....he's in good company IMO.

nope

[puzzled]

I agree that it's a protest vote. The reality "stars" are ruining the show, with their lousy acting skills, showmances, idiot scenarios, and soft porn. Marnie faking a nervous breakdown because Lewis left, and OMG, she won't see him for six days, and the women crowding around, pretending to believe she was grieving, was an insult to our intelligence. A little bit of "let's pretend" can be fun, but not the all-out witless performances of people like Bear.

Wallpaper is nice to look at whereas dog sh*t (Lewis, Bear, Marnie, Chloe) stinks the house out.

This is what the producers actually want, they want a controversial marmite character and a marmite beige character as a final 2 as it creates a vote frenzy of "good v evil", it happens more often than not now as it gets those phone lines ringing and the vote money rolling in.

Yes, you definitely have a point there.

[JTM45]

If this snooze-fest of a housemate wins it'll be right up there with the biggest farces in BB history!!!
Of the 5 minutes of screen-time he's had 4 and a half of them have been him being a massive baby! No wonder he got the boot from Eastenders. It's just surprising they kept him around for as long as they did!
Yuuuuukkkkk!!!!!

Most people like someone who his genuine in their behaviour, doesn't act up for air time, treats others with respect, and just shows common decency
