I know I'm a bit late but it's been bothering me for a while
Raph and Issy, the top 2, were saved first
Deborah was saved third, and Hannah was evicted first (Debs was 3rd and Hannah had the least votes)
Tom was 4th, and Kieran was evicted second (he had the second least votes)

I'm sure a lot of people realised this, but what does this mean for Issy and Raph? Raph was saved first, so you could assume Raph had more votes? But Issy had 30% more than him by the final. I know a lot of votes come during the final and the vote wasnt even open for a day at this point so I guess it's possible but a lot of Issy fans were voting during that day. Was it random or did Raph top the vote?

Either Raph topped the vote at that point or they just wanted to reward Isabelle as suspense... even though it was blatantly obvious she'd be in the final soo

I think you're reading into it too much lol. Raph and Issy were first in the task room to keep it tense, as the viewers knew two in total were leaving so theres no sense in putting them last. They were grouped together the way they were for dramatic effect..

I think Raph and Isabelle were the obvious two that would make it into the final 4, so pairing them up made sense.

issy would have topped the vote from the beginning I think since she had 50% of it

I do see what you mean, since if Kieran had the least amount of votes they wouldn't pair him with Deborah -Hannah v Deborah would've always been the go-to pair for the drama. But it's ironic Hannah and Kieran left in order, and the housemates were saved in order of their final ranks (besides Raph and Issy, but Raph couldve topped)

True, but a lot of votes come during the live show. We know Vanessa voted 120 times before the freeze at least (I know others here voted a lot too but idk if that was beforw the freeze sorry I cant promo your amazing work and wallets <3) and I didnt see any drastic votings for Issy, so I do think Raph could've led

Issy had some drastic votes on Friday from the likes of Amy Jade (voting 100+ times <3 QUEEN) and others which would've pushed her way to the front

Although the same logic could be applied to anyone, I guess. Withano's probably right and I'm probably reading too much into it, but either way we got to see Issy believe she was about to be evicted, take it well being happy for Raph and then be crowned winner 2 days later. Very rewarding <3
