Digital Spy is so out of touch with the general public now, they're not even relevant

Internet forum's about BB is where the true power base for BB fans now, the casual fans the go on BOTS and the eviction crowds are the ones out of touch these days.

Once in the early days of BB you would have been right.

I remember the eviction crowds, the HM they booed the most would have been evicted, but not anymore.

That's... not even remotely true? The forums are nothing but a vocal minority. If they really were "the true power base for BB fans now" then Conor wouldn't have made it as far as he did, Deana would've won, Sophie would've been evicted last week, etc. Aaron getting viciously booed upon winning a show based on popularity shows the blatant disconnect between the forums and the majority public.

It has been true in the last few years, as I said, you would have been correct on this several years back, but since BB fell apart on c4 and then moved to channel5 things have changed.

If the forums were out of touch and the casual fans had their way Conor would have won, Luke A was very popular on the forums as well as Deana, Jay or Alex would have won BB12 as the casual fans that went onto BOTS and the eviction crowds worshiped them (god knows why)...Aaron was loved on the forums, was the most popular on every forum but was hated on BOTS and the eviction crowds, they were the ones out of touch as it turned out.
