Which is the worst position to finish in

[sampvt]

If you get evicted early, you get the mag deals, tv, interviews, money for appearances and camera time in the media spotlight.

If you get to the final night and don't win, effectively you get diddly squat......I know where I would want to be.....either an early evictee like alex that got what he wanted, record deals and a tour, or Hopkins the crown and loads of work.

Certainly not anywhere else on finals night because as many before have said, its the kiss of death to get evicted on finals night because nobody wants to talk to a placed HM, they all want the winner. Poor Perez, hes in for a shock when he gets oiked before Hoppo.

[-Sue-]

Jade did not win she still got tv deals etc
Alex got a bleach advert (bb3)

I think all HMs that make it to the final need an applause the secret is who will be remembered

Is this a damage limitation thread :laugh: Now that it looks likely Perez will survive till the final?

OOOOOh Meow Niamh.....Not like you to be bitter or say things that are wrong. I have always said he will make the finals and if you care to look way back to my first post on week one, I predicted he would make the finals but never win.

In fact if memory serves me right, I PREDICTED the final 5 would be Hoppo, Michele, Callum, Cheggars and Perez.

Not bad for an old out of touch fart eh. Never mind, I will raise a glass of Chardonay to you guys from Malta tomorrow seeing as how the trip was paid for by CBB bets, lol.

I would say it has nothing to do with placing and all to do with the character of the individual. Frenchy was by far the most successful hm after the last cbb. Even if Kav won the show, he would still be a nobody the next day

Probably last place in the final. It would feel a bit disappointing knowing that you most got so close, yet so far and may have been wanted out for ages (depending on nominations etc). I think I'd feel quite embarrassed to finish last out of 4/5 other housemates.

But getting in the final is still amazing. They will have such an exciting day.

Here we go, its starting already.....Aw well he got to the final bla bla bla, sorry but he is this years Man utd. All their fans think they should and will win the League, but in reality, they will not. Perez is not going to win so please deal with it with grace and applaud the winner, \Dame Katie Hopkins.

[armand.kay]

I was expecting a totally different thread when I saw the tittle on the latest threads tab.

[armand.kay]

But to answer the tittle of the thread I would rather be dramatically evicted before the eviction and the whole night be about me than leave a thing but first place in the final.

[Jason.]

I think finishing last in the final, would be quiet embarrassing. Shows that less people want you to win than the others.

Third place or winner is the best for me.
Third because, you've made it to the Top 3, but don't have to suffer the embarrassment of runner-up for loosing against another person. Especially to a landslide.

[Shaun]

4th or 5th has always been a bit 'meh'. And I suspect coming 2nd must always be a little bit gutting. But either are ultimately better than being one of the first two evictees - especially if you've survived a few of them.

I don't get this logic, surely second place is better than 3rd because it's second place lol Coming 3rd means you lost to two other people not just 1 :laugh:

As a professional sportsman, 2nd place is the first loser. I don't like being a loser. Its gold or nothing, nobody remembers a loser.

Sure winning is best but 2nd is still better than 3rd

I never said 2nd place was worse than 3rd.
But coming 2nd would gut me more than coming third, as it could've been me, sort of thing.
I can't really explain, TBH.

Imagine:

Housemate A = 45%
Housemate B = 30%
Housemate C = 25% (THIRD PLACE)

Compared to...

Winner = 85%
2nd = 15%

That 85 : 15 landslide would make me feel more ****, than coming 3rd and getting a quarter of the voting share.

Some of the losers make more money and get more work than the winner.

Ryland, Jade Goodie just two.

[smudgie]

1st out is the worst position.
You don't have the to make much impact.

I was so glad that Chloe was 1st out! :hehe::fan:

2nd is the best
3rd is the one with the hairy chest"

2nd.

Fake happiness towards the housemate that won, an interview that nobody will pay much attention to or remember, people not paying much interest to you because their still celebrating/discussing over the winner.

Poor Squidward when everybody elses fans vote for Perez or Cheggers to beat her at the final two.

Simply wont happen, you cant and should not ignore the Oracle, its bad for your mental health.

I will just say one thing .... remember Winston :hehe:

[abhorson]

Always second because you are the first loser.
