who cares what you think? The mods don't need you to do their jobs, thanks. Especially when you have a sly agenda.

I said a FEW Jedward fans. Im specifically referring to certain members who continually post about their finances as if it somehow justifies everything.

Concentrate on your own behaviour round here. I'm not the one just coming off a weeks ban am I?

Neither am I. It ended over 2 weeks ago. I simply haven't posted ;)

Surely the references to finances are more an attempt to establish the underlying reasons for the OTT destestation, which goes way beyond merely not liking, that some seem to have for Jeward, rather than any sort of justification?

That is to say either envy and/or anger that they have somehow gained something (and a lot!) for nothing... in terms of singing talent or whatever.

Yes, it could well be. In my case - I do think along those lines as far as Jedward are concerned, lack of comprehension as far as what they have to offer as far as singing talent is concerned etc, when there are so many out there I view as far better.... it doesn't make me right, all it is, is how I see it.

I suggest keeping to the topic of the thread, and yes Zippy try and refrain from insulting the fans of housemates

There doesn't see to be enough competition in the house, Jedwood might be a juggernaut but seems to me a bit more plodding through a country lane, than at full speed on a motorway tbh

I sort of agree with you, there hasn't been enough to keep them occupied - or rather, should I say: enough that we see of anyway. I do think Jedward have been pushed by the production team - something happened the other night and that's halted now - so the BB crew have had to come up with things that involve all the housemates rather than them focussing on the twins, as they have done in great part up till the last night or so.

The producers are managing to buggar it up .... once again.

Is there any way we can find out how many people vote?

Back in the day Davina used to tell us.

Given that they have to be strictly monitored, I'd say yes, the figures will be available somewhere on t'internet I am sure. Where ..... now that's a whole different matter!

Might be worthwhile having a look on DS....they're usually always that kind of detailed info being put up as voters are interested (for obvious reasons!)

CaudleHalbard 06-09-2011 12:36 PM
Looks like the only person who has any chance of stopping the juggernaut is Kerry - well, in the punters' view anyway!

Jedward 4-6
Kerry 9-4
Paddy 17-2
Amy 28-1
Lucien 55-1
Darryn 80-1
Bobby 150-1

Although BB was never the most cerebral programme, Jedward (and others) have reduced it to the intellectual standard of In The Night Garden. Having said that, Iggle Piggle acts more mature than Jedward, I've never seen Iggle Piggle watch himself in the mirror while he dances in his pants and instead of a really weird and contrived pseudo-American accent, he chooses to say nothing. I wish Jedward would follow suit.
Totally agree. I've just figured let the baby have it's bottle and stopped caring. Hopefully the normal one will be a bit better.

I hope Jedward win. They are the only entertainers.

Desperate clingy, lazy and jealous reality show-*****s, Faux romances, wannabes and moaning old men do not entertain me one bit.

joeysteele 06-09-2011 02:02 PM
I don't accept there is a juggernaut I still feel any of them could win this, very often the favourites never win BB series and it can be the least expected one that wins it too.

Suze 06-09-2011 02:07 PM
There must be a lot of money of a sudden going on Jedward at the moment though. Makes me wonder if some bets are tied to maybe inside knowledge for some betting, on knowing how the voting is going?

There seems to be a lot of money going on Jedward,true, but bookmakers love favourites to lose too.they wouldn't steer people off backing a favourite they maybe believed could lose.
They'd just rake in the funds.

Exactly what I've been wondering. There must be a whole load of people who know what the voting figures are to date.

Whilst it wouldn't surprise me if the people who have access to the info have contracts barring them for betting, how on earth do you stop the info being passed on to relatives etc?

I hope to see that and I do expect to see cartwheels but despite my hopes,I am far from sure it will be as winners.

I've said it before and do so again CBB and BB series of the past have taught me one thing,to expect the unexpected.

CaudleHalbard 06-09-2011 04:50 PM
From Jedward's point of view, the danger is their fans will be complacent and assume a win is inevitable.

Not all of their fans have the wherewithal to vote loads of times.

That could mean a surprise result - except I don't think it would be too much of a surprise if Kerry won!

for people with Jedward in their sig maybe

the rest of us will give it a miss given that it will have the insight and intellect of a toddlers tantrum

Brian + Jedward = juvenille mediocrity hell
