Most people are just meh about who wins it in the end anyway. I've never really thought that for most of the audience who actually wins the show is that important. They may have some preference in the final but normally nearly all of those who people feel strongly about are gone anyway.

hello starry

ever since BB6 the winner really hasn't mattered or hasn't been the best hm. I agree its been who's the best out of all the dullards i.e sophie BB10 or Anthony BB6. i've never enjoyed the last week and usual turn off during the last week if my fav isn't there. i think its fair to say it will be another dullard this year

I tend to play BB from the negative perspective..............want all the horrors evicted then don't much care who wins out of what is left.

In fact, 3 out of the last 4 years I've gone away on holiday during finals-week as I really had no interest who won.

same with me, i hate when the bad guys stay
i turn off when there's about a month to go too many dullards left and the show does wind down

Didn't hurt Pete Bennett! But I guess the era of the sympathy candidate passed with him!

Agree, I actually think its a death knell, apart from BB7... (but excluding the fave, Grace, Sezer and Imogen were near faves)

Michelle BB5, Makosi, Maxwell and Saskia BB6, Sezer, Grace and Imogen BB7 (they were 2nd fave onwards) Kat BB9, Freddie BB10.

I will go out on a limb and say it's rarely a good thing. Audiences are now far more prone to picking every trivial fault of a housemate than they did back in the Nadia and Pete days.

What irritates me is when people complain that their early favourite became such a disappointment. It's your fault for idealising them in the first place. They're human like the rest of us.

Corin is hilarious, but I agree thst being the early favourite to win is never a good thing. The shows on for so long, the housemates change, and peoples perceptions of the housemates change.

Look at Freddie AKA Halfwit!, red hot favourite for weeks, then he screws around with that troll Grace , and loses all the votes?

The likes of Josie, that Iffy? (pardon if i havent got he rname right), John James are to be watched they could easily take the prize.

Maybe even Steve? but he would have to do more to warrant being the winner!
