What makes you think he is liked by the public?

They are a niche segment of the demographic though, with acquired tastes, they do not reflect the general public and all the chavs. Especially this year for the reasons I outlined; the divides in the house have REALLY divided the forumers/non-forumers and online/offline users. It's very obvious and blatant this year.
Charlie is liked by the public because he was one of only 4 HMs (Charlie, Rod, Siav, Soph) to be cheered in the 'Vote to Save' week.
Likes of Freddie, Marcus etc are more nerdy and eccentric, which totally fits with the niche of forums and forum users who are like them.
Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion and can vote who they vote for. But put it this way; chavs and forum opinions are VERY different!
And yes, Charlie's massive chav/general public/home/lads&gals/gay support may well be enough. Or Sophie's.
Freddie was only an online hero, amongst the general public, he was a non-entity. He had a very 'mixed' reception on eviction, many boos, especially as the door opened. He has never been cheered on any eviction night, booed in the last two.
Freddie encapsulates perfectly the forum to non-forum divide. Even fooling the bookies. He appeals to many nerds and eccentrics. And it is these types who tend to 'dominate' forums.
Forums = Niche segment of the population
Marcus, Freddie specifically appeal to this niche
=> Forums are out of sync, delusive
