Sadly yeah there is no way she loses. GG. She manipulated half the nation very well I’ll give her credit where it’s due! Her haters were very complacent with not taking other opportunities to evict her

I’d like to say yes but I think no. I don’t think it’s going to be so clear cut. A lot will also depend on the highlights this week - I imagine she didn’t come across well to a lot of people on tonight’s ep. I hope she does win though!

I think that she's the very likely winner.

Emma is a dark horse though imo.

You can always ask to have your name changed.

Open up a thread to ask for a name change, if you really don't like your username anymore.

I hope not.

…nope, I don’t think that she does…I think that she might be a shock eviction and may not even see the Finals…but if she does reach the final, my feeling is that she won’t win…we’ll see…

Yeah I would say she’s got it sown up. I started another thread last week saying how well she played the game. She said herself last night that it’s a game and you play a character. The character she has built has been absolutely bulletproof. All will fall to the Red Witch.

I don't think anyone has it in the bag, although she is fav with the bookies fav's don't always win. But of course i think she will

No.

I think there are too many people that don’t want Ali to win that when she makes the final 2 and voting opens again that will be the point she loses out.

same, hopefully she suffers Yinruns fate

…one of the eeeeeeeks in BB is to have that invincibility vibe feeling…that oh, I’ve survived and survived thing ….because you know those voters are on it …and if a housemate finds a perch, they will knock them off with the flick of a vote…yes ma’am, they will..it’s a BB law…

Yinrun didn't have the full force of the LGBT voting for her though. This is the major difference. And this is why she'll go down as one of the most predictable winners ever.

It doesn't matter that she's the most self centred HM in recent years, or that she's basically just miserable, two faced, and actually quite hateful. She ticks all the right boxes, it's that simple. Like i said a while back, was watching L&L and someone on a the panel (no idea which "celeb" it was) said she "didn't really like Ali that much, but she's a lesbian so she has to support her". That's Ali's win in a nutshell. It's ridiculous, but in no way shocking.

Yes unfortunately, she seems to be miles ahead of everyone, would love to see a sneaky Emma or Hanah win but can't see that happening

Hanah has no chance, Emma has a bit more chance... but can't see it happening sadly.

Marcello probably had the closest chance but he's not had great HLs shows recently and honestly I'd rather Ali won than him anyway

There was that Harriet woman who was a regular on the panel for the week,she said she has to support Ali as a fellow Lesbian or something. And she was forever making excuses for her.

I reckon she definitely does. Although I feel I have seen a lot of love for Marcello recently

Because people who don’t want Ali to win don’t have any other viable option so everyone is switching to the horse in 2nd place. :laugh:

Why would she have the win? She's done nothing but seethe. Admittedly her heavenly locks have held a perfect curl all season, but that's not a good enough reason to win

Right shes the most unlikeable housemate ever for me i dont understand it at all and her resting bitch face pisses me off.

This is definitely a risk. I think what complicates it is she’ll most likely be up against Marcello at the end, and lots of people also would vote for anyone to stop him winning. 2 divisive characters up against each other. It’ll depend on what the votes were looking like beforehand, combined with which of them has more haters.

I don’t think this is true really. Like I’m queer but I’ve voted all the other LGBT housemates out (well, I’ve *tried* to vote Nathan out…to no avail). Whilst we’ll feel some alignment to the LGBT housemates, most of us aren’t going to back them solely for that reason. I also would’ve voted Khaled for the win over Ali if he was still in. I really enjoy Ali as a person, that’s why I want her to win. Her being a lesbian is just a nice bonus. Plus, I’m not sure how much sway the LGBT community would have over voting even if it was the case that we unquestioningly supported our own - we’re a relatively small minority.

This is a great post. But they won’t care. I’ve seen this theory peddled out many many times in regards to Ali”s support and it’s off the back of a couple of isolated incidents of someone saying they feel obliged to vote because Ali is a fellow lesbian.

It’s a tactic used to undermine her support while simultaneously throwing an insult to LGBT people as if we’re mindless ants without independent thought. Not only is it insulting but it’s also baseless and has been discredited by the evictions of Dean, Martha and Daze.

If we’ have to adopt the idea that all LGBT people voting Ali are doing so because she’s a lesbian and nothing more, then we also have to adopt the idea that any straight person who voted to evict her previously did so because they’re a homophobe, and that highlights how truly flawed and insulting the theory is.

No, all the normies will vote for Marcello, sadly. Another Bear situation.

Ali could just as easily be the first out tomorrow
