The difference is, the most hated housemate can be more popular than a housemate who isnt hated but also doesn't cause a reaction on people enough to make them bother to pick up the phone and vote.

if it had been vote to evict

the majority of people who voted to save darryn would have voted to evict pamela
the majority of people who voted to save pamela would have voted to evict darryn

the fans of darryn + haters of pamela vs the haters of darryn + fans of pamela

the groups in bold are the deciding factors

only stupid people would not bother voting in the alternative voting process

and i don't think the majority of BB viewers are stupid
