It's very unlikely your favourite is going to win the series, or even get to the final.
For example in the current series there are sixteen housemates. Statistically, that's a 1/16 (6.25%) chance any single housemate will win. Even getting to the final is only a 1/4 (25%) chance. You're a setting yourself up for disappointment by supporting someone, and caring so much if they get evicted. Ask yourself how often your favourite has won the show (or got to the final).

Don’t forget if you’re a hot male multiply the odds by like 10 and cut in half the odds for any female that dares to ever cross him

Very wise James. It's nice sometimes just to enjoy the show! Like for the final I want Cameron to win. But I would still be happy if Cian wins. Okay if Zoe wins and meh if Akeem wins

I have to disagree slightly. There are character traits that the public won't warm to, or will nevertheless vote for. Black females an example, albeit overused, but iirc the highest they've gotten is 3rd Place. So their odds of winning are statistically lower based on track record.
Then you consider when they entered. The later into the series they join, the less chance the public have to warm to them, making their odds lower. |

Also if you are Welsh or Irish you are likely to stay in longer

You also forgot the multiply your percentage for the win (it's 6.25% chance, not 0.06). But again, from the moment of entry until now there's no way you'd have gotten 15/1 or even close on any of these finalists to win.

I also took issue with that 1 in 16 thing. Edit that immediately.

I just wish that people would realise that their favourite will be a dickhead some of the time. Stop defending every little thing they do, its tiring.
Add that to the op if you like, its very important.

Funnily enough on first impressions, Lewis F was a very UNlikely finalist but would almost definitely have won if he hadn't been kicked... Which actually applies to a lot of "oddball" winners. |

Cian - 9/2 Sian - 9/2 Zoe - 11/2 Akeem - 8/1 Tomasz - 8/1 Ellis - 10/1 Cameron - 10/1 Brooke - 14/1 Lewis F - 16/1 Kenaly - 16/1 Kay - 20/1 Lewis G - 25/1 Isaac - 25/1 Anamelia - 25/1 Actually, when I look at that, they did predict three out the final four. From https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/t...rother-farmer/ Last edited by James; 04-11-2018 at 11:21 PM. Reason: Missed out Sian who was joint favourite at the start at 9/2 |

Who, Douglas?
|
I normally do not support 1 single housemate which increases my odds, I usually have 2 favorites or so a season
Winners I have supported/been in my top 2 have been; Nadia, Brian Belo, Sophie, Josie, Aaron, Luke A Isabelle so I'm doing okay.

swapped for scrabble

The chances of the four of them making it to the final after surviving every public vote in which they could've gone home (inc. Cameron's decision):
Cameron and Zoe - 66% Cian - 44% Akeem - 7% Akeem was lucky!
