Will Essex save her this week?

[Jords]

A bit like Derry with Conor, could Essex push enough votes to save Ashleigh from eviction on Friday?

[HBB1508]

I just don't get this regional voting - I really don't care where someone is from if I like them I like them and if I don't I won't vote!!

Me either but it does happen.

[ChristmasNeeve]

If I was from Essex I would be embarrassed by her

[erinp5]

I live in Scotland and there is no chance of me voting for Sara.
A hms race,creed ,colour,nationality ,sexuality has no baring on how I vote .

[HBB1508]

I guess so Jords but it's puzzling to say the least! and yes Niamh I would disown her if I was from Essex - not a good example.

I am female and embarrassed by her .
Amy Childs done an article about how Ash embarrasses Essex...Amy Childs!!

[reece(:]

The regional voting only works when the majority have the same mentality as the HM, so some of Essex may save her as Derry do.

OMG lmao, things are really bad for her if Amy Childs is embarrassed by her :shocked:

[Gillian-73]

Nah! From what i can see they're embarrassed by her, even Amy Child's lol
Edit..... beaten to it :-D

[Jordan.]

Maybe, tbf she isn't AS bad as some people on here make her out. Can see her having a few casual fans.

Blimey that's saying something LOL

[Petershaw1984]

No. Wont they be ashamed of her

[Suze]

I am from Essex and am embarassed enough by that TOWIE lot, I certainly wouldn't vote for anyone in a reality series unless I liked them enough to, regardless of where they hail from.

[AshesonMars]

I am.

I was born and raised in the heart of Essex and she makes my flesh crawl. There's no way I would ever vote for her. She plays up to every negative stereotype about people, especially women, from Essex in the book and seems to see herself as some sort of vox populi for the people of Essex. I wouldn't even half mind if it wasn't for the fact that she's not even from the real Essex, she lives on the outskirts that borders with London. I only support HMs for their personality anyway and not because of regional pride.

I'm sick to death of hearing about poxy Essex too. It's no more spectacular than any other county in the country. In fact, there are far better counties than Essex. Far better.

[Munchkins]

I want Ash to stay over Luke S, but without a doubt she will be gone..

yes could do.

[Marc]

Dont really agree with the ideology of people voting for people who come from their area.

[Parmy]

no effin way.

[arista]

no effin way.


Are you Sure?

[Parmy]

yes.

[AshesonMars]

I want Ash to stay over Luke S, but without a doubt she will be gone..

I'm the other way around. I'd rather she went first then Luke S.

[Yayita]

no chance they will support her, she is very dislikble.

That is brilliant! Was it in words or done solely using stick drawings?

Since TOWIE it seems to be seen as some sort of fame and money spinning exercise to play into that stereotype. It's a shame that people think acting like a bimbo is a way to become successful.

I whole heartedly agree.

I can't abide TOWIE, but I would be a liar if I denied that there are people like that here. However, people like that can be found in virtually every county. The whole 'I'm from Essex' being worn as a badge of honour as if Essex was something special gets on my whick too. I don't want to sh*t on my own doorstep, so to speak, but I have been to far better counties than my home county. We've been riddiculed and made the butt of peoples' jokes for decades and it's all because of idiots like Ashleigh and Amy Childs et al.

[Indy]

Is the county pride thing universal in the UK, or is it something completely manufactured like Jersey Shore and the Real Housewives shows have done in the US? I tried to watch TOWIE once, think I made it through about 4 minutes, but it seems like just another forced gimmick created where one never existed.

I know there's always a regional component for any reality show contestant, but it always seems more pronounced in BBUK discussions.

Depends on the person. I personally couldn't give a fig where anyone comes from in the UK (or elsewhere, for that matter), but there are people here in the UK who do go in for all of that regional pride and snobbery. My pet hate is the North/South divide. I love the North, but the stuff some (I'm not saying all) Northerners say about the South really gets on my tits. The majority of Southerners can't relate to half the stereotypes some Northerners come out with about us and I've yet to meet anyone from the North say anything like it while down South. Same goes to the idiots down here who have prejudiced opinions about Northerners. Although, I will say, I do think Northerners are more into the whole North/South divide thing than Southerners are. The majority of us don't give a toss about it.

[00Jamie00]

I dont dislike her but she's not the best role model for the county, some of the things she does make me laugh though lol

[the truth]

not even david essex will save her , has he even got a tv on his barge?

Exactly.

[Marc]

People thinking that countries/county's are voting for contestants that come from those areas are just silly. Why would you want to vote for somebody because they came from the area where you live?

It happens. A fine example is on TXF final night they have video links to the contestants hometown with a load of people there supporting them doing it for their town/city man!!

But it doesn't affect the outcome at all.

Shievonna was from London, MASSIVE CITY and Conor was from Derry, not as big as London.

etc. etc.

[Black Dagger]

I just don't get this regional voting - I really don't care where someone is from if I like them I like them and if I don't I won't vote!!

This.

Arron was from Manchester and he was a bellend.

Louise was from Manchester and she was a boring bint.

[Withano]

I think the majority of Essex hate their stereotype and will vote against her to be honest
