Claire got 79% in a one on one, Mel got 69% in a four way.

Mel's result is worse.

Wasn't Darren extremely marmite? I've never watched BB1 but he only got 13% to win out of 3 people, and he does seem to have a few detractors.

Very interesting. Does seem weird that both would win in 2007. Also find it quite interesting that Brian Belo is not a stereotypical black guy more like a white essex guy...just saying.

And the difference between a white essex boy and a black essex boy is what exactly?

Apparently black boys from Essex aren't real black boys bruv :laugh:

People asking for the difference between Claire and Mel, there's the fact that Mel received some boos and the fact that Mel was being slut-shamed while Claire's actions were being encouraged. Claire's eviction was a sad event bc we were splitting up the couple (despite Claire having a legitimate boyfriend of nine years), Mel's eviction was a celebration to get the harlot out.

Watch Claire's eviction again to see how hated Mel was for no real reason?

I know it was so odd... I genuinely don't know why she was disliked. She could be slightly two-faced in the DR but that's no reason for the reception she got.

But claire went with a landslide 79%. So she was clearly not liked.

Claire only flirted with one guy too. Mel moved from guy to guy.

Hmm, makes you question who the real racists are innit? :fan:

Claire was evicted in a landslide against the future winner of the series who was still on a high after the Nasty Nick blowout.

And Melanie was single. Claire was in a relationship for nine years (!!!)

And two other people and still received 69% to be evicted.

But tbh it's more sexism than racism anyway because look at how Pete Bennett and Nick from this year got away with going from girl to girl.

But on the racist front again in this series Kieran received more votes to be evicted than Sarah? That is very odd considering Kieran for the most part was a chilled out guy, I know that Chloe and Danny being extremely boring protected them, but no way would Sarah have beaten Kieran if he was a white guy, not with some of her behaviour and her look.

Then I also do get what people mean with Brian Belo as well, he had no black culture about him at all and he won, a bit odd don't you think?

And we've had big twats like Charlie Drummond survive eviction votes, so if he can survive them with ease then why can't the black contestants (especially the women) be allowed to survive an eviction vote when the other person up for the vote has done the usual “immorality” act that the public usually votes out?

To be fair to Pete, it wasn't a case of going from girl to girl, it was a few girls constantly going for him.

I seem to remember he'd just sit there whilst slags like Lea would stick their tits in his face etc.

How do we know Kieran received more votes? Did Emma say they were evicted in order?

This whole "Brian Belo doesn't act black" is worrying tbh.

How was he different to any other 20 something black guy?

There's nothing wrong with Brian's behaviour, it's just interesting what the public elected as their first black winner is all.

And Kieran did receive more votes than Sarah because he came out at the same time as Harriet.

And Pete could've told the girls no, but never did, just like Noirin.

Yes, I was asking how you know they were evicted in vote order?

79-50=29
69-33=36

Mel got 7% more than Claire.

Melanie moved from bloke to bloke. The public hated her because she was kissing Andrew and then when he was evicted she moved on to someone else. All in a short time frame.

They thought of her as a slag and a manipulator and someone trying to get airtime.

It doesn't work that way.

Lmao it's Maths, Maths only works one way.

Unless you know the total votes cast we don't know who got the most in reality.

Lmao change the record.

Claire was 29% above minimum, and Mel was 36% above minimum. There's no point trying to deny that Mel got a higher vote than Claire.
