[rquote=2542338&tid=146578&author=jgfrise]Excaliber - Don't know about you but I smell a rat to be honest. All the polls had Siavash and Sophie much closer, and he was higher on a lot of them. Thought last year was a "fix" and personally think the same this year![/rquote]
Forums attract nerdier types, who tend to go for nerdier or more eccentric HMs. It's a niche, a small segment of all BB fans and voters.

Mainstream public and voters, who don't bother with forums, much prefer Sophie. It's not about fixes, the forums are just off ...

Freddie and Marcus were far more popular than Siavash on forums with huge fan bases. But they aren't popular with the general public.

Outside of forums, they are disliked. On C4's BB site for example, both Fred and Marcus have under 50% ratings.

Chavs, mainstream public, people outside forums ... like 'Sophie' types.
