Also, I might have to double-check this, but I believe the Marchant twins were the faves to win in BB8 over Brian.

I remember the twins being favourites right up to the end, but the margin narrowed closer to the final announcement. The C4 coverage and tactics stitched Aisleyne up in the last week, making Pete and Glyn more appealing to the voters. Before the last two days, Aisleyne was second favourite and the gap between her and Pete was narrowing. For me, a forum vote is a worthy vote as it stands for people who watch the show closely. The DS vote is a powerful vote. It helped Rachel Rice to victory in BB9, when nobody outside the forums gave her a chance.
