BBO have weighted the %'s for us. As you can see, places 2nd to 5th are close.

http://www.bigbrotheronline.co.uk/bi...ted-by-bbo.htm

Rodrigo 11% (5th Place)
Charlie 13.2% (4th Place)
David 14.4% (3rd Place)
Siavash 15.7% (Runner-up)
Sophie 45.7% (Winner)

Siavash and David were only 1.3% apart!

If anyone uses DS and sees this, could you make a thread on it. Thanks!

" So, we've taken the trouble to 'weight' the figures for you, and the result comes out something like this:

Rodrigo 11% (5th Place)
Charlie 11.8% (4th Place)
David 14.7% (3rd Place)
Siavash 16% (Runner-up)
Sophie 46.5% (Winner) "

Yep

[Tom]

They've got it slightly wrong, Charlie's percentage was out of 5, not 4.

Fair enough ... it's a rough guide anyway. Dave was close to 2nd.

[setanta]

Hilarious stuff really. I'm telling you, if David had been in from the start, you never know what may have happened.

[keithafc]

You know what's funny. People spent LOTS and lots of money on Siavash to win you know. Im talking hunderds. When i seen the DS thread on how good it would be Asians, i said how sad is that. Using race to get votes. Just sad and the lowest of lows.

Yes, or if we had another day to vote. He had the momentum. Sophie would have been hard to topple though.

Vash is nowhere near as popular as forums suggest.

David 14.7%
Vash 16%
Sophie 46.5%

[Jords]

Wow Sophie really did woop them!

That loser forum probably edged him past David, ROFL.

Of course he's not. Sure when he beat Marcus, he was up against such a controversial figure who divides opinion. I still think Freddie or Marcus would have done far better than him in the final, had they made it and it was a straight out popularity contest.

Yes he is, out the 5 he was 2nd most popular, Sophie was hugely popular and that is why he didnt get as many votes, think about it, alot of Sophie supporters mostly had Siavash as second favourite or Rodrigo. Polls showed clearly Sophie and Siavash were favourites to be in the finale 2.

Some people threw money down the drain big time tonight. Seriously threw money away. And i knew they would be doing so.

Agreed, they had more fans but proportionately more haters. Though Vash is a lot more hated nowadays anyway. Got booed!

The forums are miles out, look at the %s, and they've been miles out all series. Nerds flock to the forums, but it's just a niche.

David nearly got 2nd, contrary to any internet poll or forum.

The %s say it all. 2nd to 5th was a lottery. Don't pretend.

I know what this thread is now, a hate thread towards Siavash.
Guess you a David fan? Well David also got boos, probably more than Siavash if I remember correctly.

Look around on the forum, Siavash is very popular, but Sophie is even more popular, David was the least popular probably just over taking Charlie.

Dont get me wrong think David is alright, but dont be hating.

Edited to add: most peoples last 2 favourites were sophie & siavash but wanted sophie to win, so therefore they would vote for sophie rather than siavash. take sophie out the game, and siavash would storm the game, dont pretend.

[Shasown]

Then if its only a "rough guide" you cant make the assumption that Dave was close to second, for percentages to work effectively and accurately you need actual percentages per round.

You would also need to know roughly how many voted up to the first closing of the phonelines in order to make accurate assessments, in fact the more information you have the more accurate the percentage margins will be. 0.8% doesnt sound a lot 8 in a thousand, how many thousand voted though?

Simply talking the official party guideline "Sophie had 74.4%" of the vote and working backwards is again ineffective, supposing only a couple of hundred votes were actually recorded(thats not 100 people voted, votes can and do get set aside, if the count from a particular phone number exceeds more than an average of 4 per minute as an example, based on time to get a line, dial and record the vote)

[MissKittyFantastico]

Wow that was seriously close! I always said Sophie would win by a landslide but 2-5th place was a LOT closer than a lot of people would ever have predicted! Charlie and Rodrigo .8%. Just wow!

David did really really well, he should be proud of himself.
