They've realised just how awful a line-up they've got and are rightly getting their money's worth out of Speidi, the rest have done piss all to earn their fees.

If, and this is a big if, voters had any sense, they would survive, and they would win, but alas, even with a vote to save, a system where you'd have thought we could cull the dull, the voters who series by series tore apart any interesting elements by evicting the big characters early have found a way around it, and will ensure that this series goes out with a whimper as opposed to a bang.

I agree. Why the hell do people continue, series after series, to vote off so early the HM's who make the best viewing? They don't have to make them the winners necessarily - just keep entertaining people in for as long as possible to make it worth watching.
Many seem to see the whole premise as goodies versus baddies and get rid of the baddies instead of seeing it as a fascinating social insight into different characters from varying backgrounds and how they react to all kinds of situations and to each other. It takes so called 'baddies' to bring out the best and worst in others - and that in turn makes for the best viewing. It's not about everyone getting along, sitting around talking everyday chat or having 'fun' all the time. Very often, the 'baddies' eventually reveal a nicer side, and the 'goodies' reveal a nastier side - if given the chance to interact with each other for long enough. Everyone is multi - faceted if given the situations to show it - and they won't show it in a stress free nicey nicey house.
