Tamara- to spite Helen
Matthew- to spite Ashleigh
Jale- to save Ashleigh
Saving Pav- To get Bianca out and help Ashleigh stay
Zoe- To save Chris
Winston- To eliminate the threat of him winning.

I think the fanbase on social media has also changed, more forumers are using social media more actively and the lower viewing figures have pushed the power away from casual fans and more towards the diehard supporters.

Totally agree.

I can't believe how Emma, Rylan etc were all so baffled as to why Winston left and kept asking why and how?

Not one of them seemed to realise the impact social media campaigns have on BB voting now.
