I think age plays a factor in all this. In terms of the 'game', then Lisa's gang won, yes.

Lisa's 'gang' was a reality. Kris, Karly, Sophie and Charlie used to hang around her, partly out of fear and partly out of her being the older matriarch. I don't think Lisa orchestrated all of the bullying (which WAS another reality), e.g. one of the worst moments was when Kris and Charlie decided to play 'hide and seek' with Freddie. He was all excited to play (like a little boy who thought he was being accepted) and then they just left him, thinking it was hilarious. Lisa just looked on and laughed. Schoolyard tactics.

However, although Sophie was part of it, she did change and eventually called Lisa 'nasty' or something like that. She was easily influenced.

Moreover, the only two main ex HMs who you can say have a solid 'fanbase' are Marcus and Freddie. Who now cares about Lisa, or really Sophie (apart from the lad's mags). The main winners out of all the smoke in most eyes were these two.

So, in terms of 'real life' my answer is no.
