After Helen, anybody can win. But please god don't let it be Ricci. That would be the end of it all.

We have no idea who won the vote between James and Gary last night, we have no idea what the pecking order was in terms of votes ricci, lauren, george james and gary, from the previous eviction, and Dee is untested, so its all pretty much up in the air at the moment. All we know is that Gary beat those that have been evicted, and thats not a lot of use, because we don't even know where the evicted votes will now go too

So, the short answer is yes, of course he has a chance

[Robodog]

He could be top 3.

Can't believe he got more votes than Audley last night.

Maybe people are voting to keep James in - at this stage - just for entertainment and to keep the big characters in.

When it comes to final night - i think Gary and George will be top 2. Audley and James will be close for 3rd/4th place.

The rest won't pick up many votes compared to those 4.

I think Gary, George and Dee will be top 3. They are pushing those 3 like mad on BOTS and every guest and the studio audience loves them. Gary, yes, but the other 2? wth?
I'm very satisfied that Gary and James made it to the final week, as they are the only reason I'm still watching. If either of them had went, I would have switched off. I've no interest in the other dullards.

James has made this series. In that sense he would be a worthy winner.

I don't think it will happen though.

Let's be honest, with so little live feed, BB could edit anyone a certain way if they wanted to hence why what we see and the opinions we form on the housemates is often so vastly different to what the housemates reveal.

I agree. I will be voting for James

He was singled out as a baddie and we didn't even get to see what the others said. That was blatant, unbalanced editing. He definitely has a fun, playful side which the producers don't show more of because it doesn't fit in with their limited pantomime mindsets.
If they did show the more rounded personality that he has, he could win. But they aren't, because they want Dee or George to have it (BOTS is a good indicator of who they want).

Is haven't watched for a couple of years. Why are the live feeds so restricted? It used to be on air so much more then now, is there a reason for that?

Cost maybe?

I think that maybe they decided that the pantomime aspect works well enough - people get their villains and heroes and stick to them through thick and thin and that it's a good deal cheaper to manipulate that aspect rather than spend endless hours showing people potentially what people are really like day in and day out?

[Cherie]

James could win he must have a huge fan base, he would be a decent winner Dee would be my nightmare winner
