I avoid spoilers for a reason, I don't understand why people look at them, and this works in exactly the same way. Either an ~unpredictable~ winner like Michele is called way earlier than I or most other people would expect, which takes away the potential blindside (even if the result would still annoy me), or people like David are signposted only for them to fall before they were supposed to.

You actually did post a spoiler that Adam got voted out (clearly wrong, but still) so that's not entirely true, and that's another part to this - when you're aware that someone reads spoilers, it is inevitable to think that any winner 'predictions' they're making may in part be influenced by what they know, which means I'm reading spoilers by proxy...and...no thanks?

There is a difference between me and a cat lady on Facebook making a blasé prediction that someone will win because they've been shown the most, and you making a prediction based off of an intricate analysis of the edit. Don't get me wrong, when the season is over I can find such analysis perfectly interesting and enjoyable...but when 9 times out of 10 it's right, it spoils the season when watching live.

I just don't understand the difficulty in wrapping a post pertaining to a winner prediction based off the edit in a spoiler tag? Like, not to beat around the bush here, but it's just a bit twatty to continue? Is it really that unaccomadating a request?

Yeah this, its one of the reasons why i don't come on this thread during the show(the whining from one member also plays a part) because there's always a "so and so is going because of the edit" or "this edit must mean so and so won" it just ruins the whole thing.
