What is the "EastEnders vote" that you keep referring to? What does it entail?

Well yeah it's obviously going to be a factor, just like those who watch [whatever Bear was on] will inevitably favour Bear. But they wouldn't spend money on him if they disliked him so I don't really see a problem.

Eastenders is a bigger deal than Ex On The Beach though.

This is true. BUT...

Despite the fact Eastenders gets 6x the audience of EOTB, EE viewers are mainly older and most likely a huge majority don't watch CBB, never mind vote, whereas EOTB viewers are more likely to watch and vote due to the demographic. Big Brother and EOTB/TOWIE etc.. share similar demos. Whereas I heard the average EE viewer is over 40, and that doesn't tend to be the Big Brother average age.

Ricky topping the votes was not about being in EE imo, it was about people wanting him to out-do Bear I reckon, BUT i don't think it will be done again, I personally think Bear will place higher than Ricky.

A fan base from a TV show means a lot I think, Ricky is also getting the anti Bear vote at the moment, so if he keeps his new Bestie he could drop votes

If the fb comments are anything to go by there are a hell of a lot of frau who watch this show and will vote for 'nice Ricky'. However I don't doubt that Eastenders gives him a boost, but as you say I think it's more of the anti-Bear vote. It's less likely to happen now they're less at war with each other though.

Like imagine if Conor went on I'm a Celebrity or something and the fans kept say "oh conors safe, bb fans would vote for him" like, no, we wouldnt.

If Bear was not in it I would probably vote for him myself. Because of who he is.

hmm well one could say Katie P won from the viewers of I'm a celeb?

Its not so much about what program they were in, more about a familiar face, known, and Ricky is more known than most in there, certainly now.

Katie Hopkins was on im a celeb too though. I just personally dont know anybody who has voted for somebody based on the tv shows that they enjoy, i dont think Rickys lead has anything to do with eastenders fans.
I watched making the band, i dont want aubrey to win, i havent seen mob wives, i want renee to win.

i think these days, with the lower voting numbers, its much more complicated. People will place bets on someone they know to win, they may well then vote for that person to win without even watching the show, to try and secure a winning bet.

We will then have people who vote based on their perceived entertainment on the show, and then another group who vote for the person they like best, irrespective of what happened on the show.

So, the bottom line is that for the celeb version of BB, it really is less important what anyone does on the show itself, and more about feel good public perception.
