Default Sophie favorite to win by being most bland

So Sophie - who arguably has had the least air time* - is favourite by virtue of the fact she hasn't really done anything remotely controversial or interesting.


So we get the 'Sophie is great, I love Sophie, you go girl!' brigade. But WHAT has Sophie *actually done?*.


She's popular by virtue of
  • seeming like the bland reliable girl next door
  • having the voice of Jade Goody (RIP)
  • the prettier looks of Josie Gibson
  • keeping out of trouble ie keeping away from anything interesting
  • flying under the raydar
  • passively reacting to everything rather than creating any good TV
  • styling herself as the 'normal one' compared to the more interesting characters

What would her highlights, best bits consist of?

In fact when you break Sophie down she's
-60% flying under the raydar
-20% moaning/ whinging
-10% latching onto the twins
-5% massaging or combing someone else's hair whilst moaning and
-5% reacting to more interesting HMs.










*Daley has definitely been featured more than her and, Jackie overtook Sophie in air time when she rowed with Jemima over parenting and feeling ill during task.

Erm why?

Because she's a nice girl next door blah de blah despite fact she contributes fack all!!

Sophie = 0 entertainment fact.
She's really uninteresting and states the obvious eg Sallie's really loud, Hazel is really pretty etc. You won't get much intrigue out of this one.

Yeah but you do tend to have odd opinions like this one you made yesterday.

"End it right now. Evict them all and cancel it"

Oh how bitchy! I don't mind though, I can happily say this series is rubbish and the previous ones have been pretty poor.. the whole idea of BB has changed and it's original appeal has gone completely. I was a massive fan back in the day and watched it religiously and cared about what happened, but now I don't mind as much. The housemates are ridiculously desperate and have no redeeming qualities. I like Sophie because she seems a really nice, decent person. Which can't be said for most of the others in there.

I also don't see why me not being a big fan means my opinions are odd

Judging from your name I presume you'd be a hardcore fan.

The most interesting thing she's done so far was when she was bitchy to Jemima in the task room when Jemima was actually trying to be nice.

Sophie is the type of HM who will NEVER be nominated, let alone up for eviction. Sadly she's sailing all the way to final. She's probably not C5's out and out favourite but a safe OK choice of winner as far as they are concerned. She will piggy back on the twins shenanigigans, playing the exasperated gal pal role (like BB9 Rachel Rice to Cookie woman Kathreya)

The only ways to get rid of her is if all the house is up in a vote to save double eviction once Jemima was evicted. In a vote to save I actually think Jackie, Callum and Daley would be get more votes.

The bookies favourite just means the person with the biggest chance of winning..

..considering its vote to evict and shes pretty harmless, its plausible.

Shes 5/1 which were roughly the odds of Speidi winning come the final (fairly unlikely) and its pretty close at the top too

But there's more people in BB now than CCB with Speidi so 5/1 is good

Its so unlikely that Sophie will win that bookies are prepared to give you a fiver for every pound you bet on her.

The bookies aren't saying shes likely to win, they're saying shes the most likely at the moment.

She definitely definitely doesnt deserve to win. She is dreadfully boring. But then Rachel Rice and Dogface and Josie won. God only knows why. We need a winner who has entertained us. Not bloody Sophie

She's got the elegant speaking voice of Jade Goody, and the beauty of Josie Gibson? Armed with that, truly nothing can stop her.

she's very dull, I can't see her winning. She'll probably sail through to the final then be first out once it reverts to vote to win.

Yes, she's 'nice' but sooo dull even you have to admit that. C'mon!!

She went 3 days with barely being in highlights other than combing Sallie's hair, tanning the twins and applying blusher on Dexter. Great TV

Please give a list of her entertaining highlights so far

to be fair I've seen and heard more from her than the likes of callum and daley.
I really like her. she's quite amusing with some of her comments and she seems genuinely lovely.
