TIBBS Favourites!

[Lex]

Lord Aaron is clearly the favourite HM for the majority of TIBBS members this year just as King Ben was last year, and if I remember rightly it was Halfwit and Rex the previous two years etc,...but none of them came close to winning!
So my question is....WHY??....Is our judgement so off track with the voting public? :conf:

Pete Bennet and Brian Dowling are the only winners that I have backed so far!
I'm hoping that Alex makes it three this year...but I'm starting to think that I ought to pretend to not like her to avoid passing my jinxness on to her! :joker:

How many winners have you rooted for??

[Locke.]

My favourite has never won :(

[The Human Santapede]

My favourite has won twice (Brian Dowling and Nadia).

[Vicky.]

Only time my fave ever won was Kate in BB3 :laugh:

I think Brian would have been my fave in BB2 though if I had watched it

[GypsyGoth]

My faves never win.

[Maia]

None of my favourites have ever won, although my favourites in the final always come 2nd place. It's a consistent pattern that's happened every year since BB6 :tongue:

[Locke.]

How on earth could Mikey be your favourite

[reece(:]

How on earth could Mikey be your favourite

or eugene or dave

[Maia]

How on earth could Mikey be your favourite

Because he was hilarious and deserved to win for being so great

[Maia]

or eugene or dave

Eugene = Liked the guy, he was a jolly chap
Dave = All in the glory

[GypsyGoth]

Dave = All in the glory

:worship:

After Shabby walked I supported him :D

[In the Drunk Tank]

Dave was a legend last year, supported him after Ben was evicted and almost became my overall fav :D

I haven't seen that many BB series but don't think a favourite of mine has ever won that I remember

:joker:

One of the best moments in BBs history though, when he got clonked on the back of his head in the swimming pool! :joker:

[IheartBB]

Craig, Kate, Nadia and Pete are the only people I've cheered for and won. I thought I was on an odd year roll (1, 3, 5, 7) before Rex screwed it all up in BB9 :joker:

Good old Mo Mo hitting the jackpot with that shot

Yes, the track record of this forum in picking winners is absolutely shocking.

I always find myself going against the flow of the cliques and campaign groups on here, and that usally pays off very well :joker:

[Lex]

or eugene or dave

I liked Eugene...Derek Laud,Makosi and Science were outstanding for me that year! :worship:...Best ever BB series.

But Dave????...Horrible backstabbing chap!!...:nono:

[King Gizzard]

There's alot of Aaron haters that cancel out Aaron fans to a big extent. I'd say the overall forum favourite is Alex..kind of

Supported Dave last year

:joker: Who've you got down to win this year Vesavius?...Tom? :hugesmile:

[vesavius]

haha no, I got good odds on Alex very early.

Even I'm not contrary enough to support Tom :joker:

Oh Nathan... Just no.

Alex has her loyals here, ofc, but Aaron is blatantly the chosen one here.

Have you even been on here looking at the polls?

Not in the polls!

By the way...i'm not a Aaron hater, I just like Alex so much that i'd be very pleased if she beat him to the dosh!...because he will be clever enough to clean up when he leaves, but I dont think that Alex has what it takes to make much post BB. :blush:

[headaball]

This year I think we've finally got it right. Lord Aaron will triumph.

[GypsyGoth]

I think Aaron will get third if he's lucky.

[King Gizzard]

Oh I wasn't saying you were a hater just in general

I think forums like to cling on to the housemate that's being portrayed as getting bad editing/generally disliked by BB to 'stick it to the man'

[Lex]

Even I'm not contrary enough to support Tom :joker:

With my track record, its a good job that i've never been a betting man! :spin:...But if I were a gambler...my pension would have been on Alex from midway through the first week!...anyway, good luck Vesavius. :wink:

[In the Drunk Tank]

I'd say Harry is the most liked overall on here, yet to meet anyone on here who dislike him anyway, can't say the same for any of the others

[Samuel.]

Aaron is dominating in all the polls, and as the last eviction showed, the online/forum audience is more powerful than ever, which I think is a lot to do with Facebook voting. People aren't just doing a couple of phone votes, they're voting a hundred plus times.

Alex may have more individual voters in the final, but a lot of those will be from people voting once or twice. Aaron has more of a diehard following who'll vote many, many times to see him win.

Fingers crossed! Thanks :)

OK!...My mistake Nathan. :thumbs:

I have him down as third placer in my reading of the outcome!

[Jords]

People on forums think more about the show and tend to favour the 'entertainers' whilst casual viewers favour the people they like and can relate to.

[vesavius]

Alex may have more individual voters in the final, but a lot of those will be from people voting once or twice. Aaron has more of a diehard following who'll vote many, many times to see him win.

We have no evidence or examples to support the theory that Alex's supporters won't outnumber Aaron's out there AND vote as hard.

Just because people don't come to these forums, simply because they don't like the einvornment or poster attitude or whatever, dosne't mean they arnt committed voters. That's just assumption on your part.

I have to say though... IF your right, and this is true (which I don't think) then your saying that the most popular HM in the show will be cheated of her rightful victory by forum hardcores?

What a pathetic empty victory that would be.

[Locke.]

Technically it's not cheating, because it is not against the rules to vote as many times as you like

[Jords]

Its not cheating but its not representative of who people actually want to win.

[Vicky.]

Exactly.

If people were only allowed one vote each week throughout the years, I wonder who would have won

I doubt Rachel would have won BB9, as apparently it was mass voting from DS that bumped her up (or so they claim)

Also, evictions would go much differently too IMO

I know we don't, no one knows for sure, everyone is making assumptions, doing guess work. I don't know why you'd think otherwise? That's just my view of how things will play out. If I knew for sure, I'd sell all my belongings and put it all on Aaron to win.

And how would that be cheating Alex out of winning exactly? That's like saying voting more than once is somehow underhand, just because someone else might not. If Aaron's fanbase is more willing to vote multiple times for him than Alex's, than he's absolutely the rightful winner.

Well yes, I have to agree with that Samuel...but I still want Alex to win! :xyxwave:

[In the Drunk Tank]

Would be really interesting to see what the results would be actually if they did limit it to one vote per person

[vesavius]

I know we don't, no one knows for sure, everyone is making assumptions, doing guess work. I don't know why you'd think otherwise?

Because I know out there is a silent majority that feel as every bit as passionate on finals night about their fave as you do about yours.

Actually you have somewhat misunderstood my use of 'cheated'. I didn't mean to imply that multiple voting was cheating. Ofc it isn't... Thats obvious. I was using it in a looser sense. I was not claiming it was breaking any show rules, just to be clear. Tbh I am suprised so many people have leapt on the word considering the context it was used in, but no matter.

Please do not put words in my mouth by saying 'it's like saying...' though. I hate that.

IMO, a winner that needs the forums hardcores to vote 100+ times each to win isn't the popular winner at all, by defintion,and that makes their victory shallow and pathetic. A winner in name, but not in reality.

In a popularity show, IMO, the most popular should 'rightly' win, not the one that attracts the most fanatical minority fanbase. Thats just me though.

[Black Dagger]

One winner- Rachel.

[Cheddarcakes]

My faves never win either ... maybe once 2 years ago when Sophie was my fave by the end but she wasnt an opening night fave as that went to Marcus the man the hairy legend

[fruit_cake]

I can't remember one of my favourites winning, or even second choice JJ/
Shabby/Caoimhe last year lost, Angel/Freddie the year before and Darnelle/Rex the year before that, although I was happy Rachel won in the end.

[Suze]

I have chosen a few winners over the BB years, and many of my favourites make it to the finals week also :)

Craig BB1
Pete BB7 ( Gone off him since though)
Rachel BB9
Never watched BB10
CBB's, not watched that many.
