Now, this doesn't mean I like HOW she played it, I dislike HMs that play the audience rather than playing the house, but I admire her ability to target a demographic out there and pander to them so hard and and convince them that she is a cause to fight for.

She identified the perfect gameplan and in the end it carried her through... Not in that house, I don't mean that because that was a disaster for her, but in the manipulation of the X/Reddit crowd.

Sadly, I think now it's been seen though this is the end of BB as we know it... From here on in it'll be about WHAT you are not WHO you are to win. The winner won't be who was a great HM, it'll be whoever represents that year's current thing worthy cause, because that's who the XReddit crowd will flock to. I think that's a shame, because I will miss whatever remained of the old BB.

But, yep, no hate to Ali, she might not have played the game I wanted to see played in the show and might have manipulated and misled the audience to 90k but as heists go... It wasn't bad.

It was pretty obvious what she was doing throughout. She fooled the housemates but I just can't understand how the public like her. It's a weird cult-like following.

Nah, if she had fooled them she wouldn't have been up every week.

But, yeah... The Ali cultists on FB, X, and Reddit are terrifying...

She is gonna need to spend 90k on hiring security.

I mean tbf it was only a few people voting for her each time.

She was so cold and manipulative throughout, but instead of clocking onto her behaviour or calling it out they all sort of went along with it and made nice, bar a few moments from Khaled and Marcello. Even then, every disagreement had to be concluded on Ali's terms. You can tell she was a nightmare in those situations, pure arrogance.

If I was them I would have shone a light on her behaviour a lot more. That's what I mean when I said they were fooled because they kept trying to stay on her good side, even suggesting that she was a "nice person".

If they rewatch the show I guarantee you most of the house won't be in contact with her again when they see the venom she was spewing.

She painted herself the victim and the public and her cultists fell for it. It's the world we live in I guess.

Hit the nail on the head

Yeah I don't think many housemates are staying in contact with her , and I don't blame them.

The way she treated Khaled was grotesque , especially when he was such a gentleman towards her and
everyone in the house .

[GoldHeart]

Oh plenty would have got several phones and SIM cards I bet .

It's because she looks like a pussycat doll. If she wasn't attractive her behaviour wouldn't fly

Tbf there have been plenty of attractive women that have been voted off BB over the years.

Imo, some that are more attractive than Ali (with all due respect, as I get that it's subjective) in fairness Marcello and Segun should've been the ones benefiting the most from the looks argument, considering they're attractive guys with an audience that's mostly watched by women followed by gay guys.

And I say that as someone that wanted Marcello to win last night.

She did well, wasn't the landslide victory I expected though.

She got more votes than all other finalists combined? 51.9%!

Yes and that's with only the app voting not how it used to be where we voted unlimited amounts on our phones.
This was only from app votes of 5 votes each.

If you think people out there were not racking up fake votes on multiple accounts then I am not sure what to say to you.

It of course is different.
You could vote from landlines plus any mobile phones you had too.

The difference being you could vote continuously, as many times as you wanted to or could afford to,not just 5 times, that MUST make a considerable difference.

Except it was and it was thoroughly deserved

Hi @vesavius

You talk alot of sense , Ali knew exactly what she was doing. And the moment Lily got evicted it was inevitable that it would lead to her winning.

I wish a housemate would win for who they are , rather than identity politics. Unfortunately as you say ..this will just continue.

Ali manipulated her way to winning. And she might aswell thank Lily , Khaled & Marcello for helping her get there .

Sadly so.

And a part of me is just really sad about that.

[millyrose]

Well done Ali. She wasn't my fav i wanted Emma to win.

[joeysteele]

I made a mistake when I saw this thread, I thought it was a congratulatory one to the winner.
I see however it's just yet another vehicle to get at her.
How sad.

Really, not misleading.
Not a hint of negativity in.the thread title to draw members in.
However then nothing but much negativity afterwards.
Good grief.

I don't like to be misled.

However it's my own fault for coming into one of your threads, thinking it more a positive.
I'll not make that mistake again.
