Guys, I just done some math, and if Jemma lost with 4.83%, and amelia only had 5% more than that.. Sarah would have had a minimum of 61.11% in the first freeze..

If this is accurate then wow at the anti vote coming out in force (although not quite being enough)

60.39%** I forgot Shaun existed.. and actually, Shauns percentage would have been higher than that at the time of the first freeze.. but at least 59%

Edit: actually all of their percentages would have been higher at the first freeze, ignore me hahha, its not at all accurate.

[Epic.]

WHAT.

[MB.]

Amelia must have had a huuuge surge in votes then

[MrWong]

Emma made out the percentage was massive.

[Epic.]

So Amelia was only 6% away from winning?

[Oaker]

Yeah I'm guessing Amelia got an insane amount of Anti-Sarah votes right at the end

(Also that % is only 3% more than Coleens )

Makes her win feel even more hilariously legendary

[Wizard.]

Yay Sarah didn't win by a landslide.

[andybigbro]

Thought it would have been a bigger percentage tbh

[smudgie]

Wow, Amelia really did do well.

[abcd]

Amelia got the anti vote and the hugely fierce geordie vote but as some of us knew, it was never going to stop Sarah winning.

[Littlegreen]

God I'm pleased she won.

[LukeB]

oh well she still won

[Withano]

The sarah/amelia split was 54:46 which is way closer than i thought it would be

The anti-vote for the bore in the F2 (that has triumphed on two notable occasions) to prevent the other winning is all the proof you need as to why the public vote needs scrapping

It's disgusting

Well maybe I'm wrong but hasn't she been a bore for 98% of the series? A few good highlights wouldn't negate that for me

My point really is the clear surge she (and others in similar scenarios) receive in a F2 situation against a clearly bigger character, it's just sad and the fact it robs us of deserving winners is proof of why the public vote needs scrapping

k but like how many BBUS/BBCAN winners are actually the most entertaining and deserving?

You can't compare BBUK winners to BBUS/Can winners because the formats are different and thus what constitutes a deserving winner is different, as is how I judge housemates and decide upon favourites.

The benefit of the US format is that regardless of whether you like a winner or not, they have at least won on merit and through their own effort - they have earned it. Winning BBUK is often as simple as 'befriend everyone, say nothing for 8 weeks, fly under the radar to escape eviction and then appear in the final week xx'.

For what it's worth, I prefer waaay more US/Canadian winners than UK ones.
