No not really. I'm fed up of reading stuff like "she's so nice and sweet and genuine she deserves it x" **** off being nice is not a worthy reason to win. All the storylines this series have been made by Aaron, Harry, Jay and Anton (also Rebeckah & Heaven when they were in there). Alex is just an extra thrown into the hl show once in a while for a cheap laugh.

The only people more undeserving of winning than Alex are Aden and Tom.

Sophie Reade didn't fake her way into winning. It's not her fault she was the most popular Housemate of BB10 by a landslide

Thankfully this, and other, forums with all their polls and whatnot, do not reflect how the majority of voters feel.

The majority obviously see in her a fun and charming counterbalance to all the darkness in there that they enjoy a lot and therefore she is popular.

Does this 'justify' her? Ofc it does, to those that value such things.

To those that value arguing, aggression, manipulation, fake showmances, and being generally vile, ofc it won't though.


But, again thankfully, the majority of voters seem to want their winners to be good people and that makes her popular, which in a popularity contest is all you need to 'justify' yourself to anyone.

Yes, she's a great housemate and I'm glad they're finally giving her more airtime, she's a gem!

Not really IMO. Seems a nice enough girl, but shes only featured when messing around with Tom or when they give her a task.

I think part of the reason shes odds on though is not to do with her, but to do with how marmite the other faves are. If Aaron goes before Jay a lot of Aaron fans would vote Alex just to stop Jay winning, and vice versa. However I do think she would probably be favourite anyway, just not at the odds she is.

She might start getting featured more once this wolfpack thing dies down. And then I will probably change how I think, but at this moment, she probably has about 20 mins worth of footage since they entered, and 10 mins of that is the yes task.

We have no way of knowing that.

And again, what type of footage we put value on is pretty subjective.

Was I not clear enough? I expected people to know that I obviously meant on the HL shows, that we have been shown...how on earth would I know how much footage all together she has had?!

Vicky, we are just talking, no need for the 'was I not clear enough' type snarkyness.

I wasn't attacking you in any way, and I don't really udnerstand the tone of your response, but nm.

Sorry, I just really cant see how anyone could have possibly took my post to mean anything different to what I meant it to mean :S

Its quite obvious that I base what I say on what we HAVE seen(be that on the c5 site, the HLs, or BBOTS), not what footage there might be that we havent seen

Alex won't win. The bookies usually get BB winners wrong. Jedward were odds-on faves for CBB8.

Not really, playing dumb and not taking sides should not make you popular, but sadly on these shows it does, she will win.

But at least shes a step up from the awful Josie.

I like her better than Josie , but without Tom to bounce off, she'd go unnoticed in the house.

You have to wonder if Alex is still in there, she never does anything in there.

They must give her screen time to Jay.

I don't think any of them deserve it. Most undeserving lot of HMs ever IMO. Not saying the shows rubbish. Just the HMs are pretty undeserving.

Alex is the typical BB winner, lets face it if you get on witb everyone, have a laugh and don't cause offence you are going to win!

Forget its an entertainment show, the public always vote for those that don't annoy them.

Wether or not they have done alot or not doesnt seem to matter, its the mad world of reality tv.

Look at your past Big Brother winners, Brian Dowling for example, when he won he actualyl deserved to!, He was hilarious and was without question a fantastic housemate!. But other than Brian,you have to question if any of the other winners have deserved it!. Their is no way Rachel Rice should have won, theirs no way Ulrika Johnson should have won!,but they did!

Its up to you lot to vote correctly!

Alex is a decent sort of girl but apart from the tan task she really hasn't contributed and, imo, doesn't deserve to win. But she will more than likely win as the viewers tend to vote for silly HMs. Brian Belo for example.

Alex is playing a blinder of a game,she steers clear of any confrontation, is never nominated and it seems to go over the others heads,other than Tom's.That's why he sticking to Alex like glue.
Jay will not have noticed but Aaron will in one of his pensive moods he'll realize and work his devious way to get her nominated because he's not going to be able to get rid of her threat of winning BB if he doesn't.

The only way he can do this is by getting Jay on his side which will bring Anton into the frame and Harry will back Aaron.So if they all vote Tom and Alex they will be lowering the opposition.
