Just come of the phone to someone who was a big fan of Jedward but was put off by their destructive streak and decvided not to vote for them.

I suspect they could have won it, if they had just been a bit "crazy" without the destruction but who knows.

Jedward themselves seem happy enough with 3rd! :D

well it is the highest theyve ever finished in anything http://atrl.net/forums/images/smilie...milies/ahh.gif

I think the problem is all the Jedward fans voted really early and kept voting and then it seems come the day of the final, must have stopped voting because they thought they had won it.

yeah sure, that must be it :whistle:

it couldn't possibly be that they just don't have enough fans...

Well they got their £500,000 fee (sorry to mention money again! :joker:) - vastly more than any of the other HMs.

There's no prize money. As usual the Jeds are winners without actually being winners...............

Im so pleased that Paddy won, but im totally shocked about it, i was so convinced it would be Jedward or Kerry would have won.

See..I told you.....



Smitten.

:joker:

They had a huge backing though on facebook and twitter. I was 100% sure they would win and I ain't even a Jedward fanboy/girl.

Whatever happened the night they were 'reprimanded'..... they didn't quite seem as mental afterwards. Makes me wonder if the tide perhaps turned around that time?

It probably turned when they wrecked the beds and probably pissed a lot of people off. Or even the fakemance which was going on. They got less airtime during that period for 3-4 days which could have cost them.

When they wrecked the beds...was that before the eggs carry on?

Someone's having a stroke.

Yes it was. I think it showed a side of Jedward which people felt went beyond just "a bit annoying".

There's a joke in there Patrick..... :D

I only caught a tiny bit of the bed wrecking bit: but the eggs carry on was the bit that I thought they'd gone far too far...... would make sense that people even on the fence, that this would have been enough for them to not vote to save them.

Big Brother still amazes me and the great thing about it is the expected winner rarely happens, like with the year Chantelle won, she wasn't even a celebrity when she went in, she was only pretending to be and she beat all the celebrities in with her.

It's the thing I love with BB, to expect the unexpected, although I hoped for Jedward to win,I have said many times on here odds on favourites often don't.

I am happy with 3rd place for them, I would not be being true if I said I was not disappointed Kerry got 2nd place though but I would imagine things were close.

As to Paddy winning, I have said on here lots,I would not have minded him winning and I felt as the first results were annonced that Paddy could win this, well done to him,a worthy winner and I hope it brings him and his family a lot of happiness knowing he won a public vote that seemed against all the odds at the start.
I am really pleased for him.

Well done to all of them really though,for me it's been a great series and the result hasn't changed that view in any way at all.

Well done to the Padster'.

Me too, lovely man

I said days ago ,most of backwards fans are kids,£5 credit on mobiles,Mother got more sense than to allow them to use house phone to vote for the loonies ,Paddy was the "grown-ups"winner
