If you listen to this debate on the Wright stuff, i thought the lady caller made a very good point and i have been wondering about this for ages. Can anyone explain?

because its the one least hated.

But that doesn't really make sense. Why keep a big charcter in and then let the 'boring' one win? You are kind of mugging yourself off really when you do that. I'v not like the last 2 winners of BB at all.

I have some long winded boring answer about them drawing no attention to themselves, therefore creating a false negative, but i guess it's easier just to say cause they're tossers.

maybe because people judge them on what kind of person they are?
or something.

Well again i don't really buy that to be honest.

Let's be honest, the show is 3 months+ long. To watch it for 3 months and not miss an episode, you surely want some one to win who has made an impact. Like Marcus for example, possibly Rex in the last series for some.

I just don't know what BB is anymore, is it an entertainment show or is it something else? It just seems if you aren't entertaining, you have a damn good chance of winning which is bizarre on a show which is supposed to be about entertainment.

one man's meat is another man's poison. big characters get big reactions.

[Vicky.]

People with big personalities are voted out first.

Which leaves the bores.

No idea why people vote them to win though...

I mean, Cameron...Rachel

[luminoussun]

the reason is simple...young women mainly vote.
If it was 18+ only we would have worthy winners

because the format until the end is 'vote to evict' and not 'vote to keep'.

This pretty much goes a long way in explaining it.

There is too big an emphasis on negativity in the current format. The "get them out" mentality encourages viewers to character assassinate find fault with every contestant without valuing their contributions. The result in BB9 was the voters supporting the very personification of flawlessly bland inoffensiveness.

Ya and dont forget when Rice won she was actualy BOOED!
When we hear people chant "GET MARCUS OUT!!" every Friday night
I fear we're going down the same road.
That bubblehead Dogface is gona win now.
