The forum has been devided into 2 defined camps over the ast few series of BB. There are the diehard (we hate anyone that dosent conform ) type of voters and the ever present (supporters of the underdogs) type of voters. These 2 camps seem to like to get at eachother as opposed to relating to their favourite HM,s. In series gone by the Aaron and Deana suporters have emerged this year as Speidi supporters (in the main) and likewise of the Razor and Rylan camp. It all makes for healthy debate but occassionally some of us (myself included) cross the line and give the mods a hard time.

In reality its not about who wins, its the type of person that wins is the most important factor. Old farts like me and chuff seem to pick people that are good and proper and devoid of gameplans and deliberate kinks, while Dagger and the like seem to be more radical in their choices. Nobody is a bad guy or nasty person, we all just love to agree to disagree.

This year is no different. The bad guys wont win and the crown will probably go to the one celeb that has kept his or her nose clean from the get go. Hopefully its Razor or Frankie from my part, but Rylan has given us moments of gold as well although his motives seem to be clouded by snit bits of over acting. If Speidi win, its a win for the producers and everything that is wrong with our society in as much as we should not applaud deliberate nastiness and pander to the needs of media giants that play a game.

In my book playing a game is manipulation, being interesting and funny is entertainment. I view the series as an entrtainment program and not a game, so thats were people like me and dagger differ. Not that either of us is wrong, we simply have different views of life and in the real world, we are both nice people that love healthy debate. The series is as much about our online debates and fights as it is about the actual series so lets just hope BB learn from this series and keep deliberately nasty people out of the house and allow storylines and natural will to win creep in and keep us amused.

I enjoyed reading your post, but stop worrying about Speidi winning. They. Don't. Have. The. Votes.

@sampvt Damn dude, you've raised some good points. Nicely put. I hardly watch BBC News or Sky News. I get my factual uncut world news from Al Jazeera or RT, so one can understand where you're coming from.

We can't have the predictable winner who either faking it, or he's an 24 yr old idiot. I wish him all the luck in the world. Its true, Speidi cannot win. I know that and it sucks, but at least they're in the final and I'll be voting for them till the end. At the end of it all, I can take away from the fact Speidi have made all the housemates uncomfortable, especially the dullards.

However, Faye was okay and her relationship with Jem goddess <3
You should stick to watching soaps. One thing I'll agree with you on is Arron should not have won that year. He's been entertaining to watch, that's for sure.

Forgot who, but one of the two of you supported Conor. You just have atrocious taste in humans.

I have to say, I have never quite understood threads that state so and so has gained or lost support, to me such threads only serve to look like they are trying to rile fans of said housemate/s mentioned, as 'all' housemates will gain and lose support along the way, as is the way of the game, support is always changing. Very few fans will probably stick with their initial favourites. Also the final of such shows like BB always tend to attract the casual viewer who vote on the day, so that can change how the voting goes more than anything, so the winner could just be down to the editing on the day of the final.

Whichever housemate/s win , well done to them for playing the game so well, and probably getting decent editing to help.
