Totally agree Joey. Imagine if they do win, and the amount of Jedward dislike threads that will probably spring up

Very good satement Suze.I guess there will be loads, but also if they don't win there will be still be loads deriding them and winding up Jedward fans on here as to 'they couldn't even win CBB'.

As for the making of threads it seems it's in the main near all as to CBB that even the anti-Jeds can make,threads on Jedward.
They,some at any rate, are more obsessed with them than Jedward fans are who are also members on here.

Exactly so. One does get the slight feeling there may even be strange, but unwanted, attraction between some of the anti-Jeds and the twins.

Just sayin' !

I think you could maybe, possibly,be on to something there.

As in 'Methinks some protesteth too much' You could well be right

Ok here is my objective assessment of Jedward is:

(1) They are cute young guys, with a physical fan base of a couple of thousand and a YouTube subscribership of (I think) about 400,000.

(2) They've banked about £5-6 million, between them, and could afford to retire to Jedward Land if they wanted and never do another day's work in their lives. But that is not their way - they want to continue to entertain their fans and stay determined and focused on their career.

(3) They don't drink, smoke, do drugs, get into sexual shenanigans. Not overly bright perhaps, and a bit too dependent on each other but basically good-hearted.

(4) In the context of CBB, their HMs don't have a bad word to say about them.

So............what is there not to like?

I come back to what what I said a few days ago. "Hatred" of Jedward is based primarily on JEALOUSY.

So........... stop hating and start appreciating. Here's a nice pic for the haters!

That is not an objective assessment.

Livia is right..

this has been a dire, juvenille, mockery of CBB. So it's only fitting that it finishes with a dire, juvenille pair of winners.

then we can all just forget about it like a bad dream.

I saw enough and have heard enough since to draw that conclusion. MY conclusion.

Its got better since you switched off.

[CaudleHalbard]

FFS, lighten up all you Jed-haters!

I wouldn't be giving Jedward a fraction as much attention, if you lot didn't keep posting your hate mail which seems to be based on.... pretty much nothing!

If you said you don't like their act, or they are vocally talentless or there was something a bit more specific, I could understand it and possibly agree with some of it. But it seems to be just largely puerile name-calling which is, on the face of it, about as immature as Jedward are accused of being.

Which is what has led me to the conclusions I have stated.

OK I may be way off beam about the jealousy thing, but if it is just mindless, blind hatred that's actually even worse. You guys' psyches might make an interesting study.......... where's Nikki Grahame when you need her?

[Zippy]

Rusty Lee is far richer and more famous than me too

And, trust me, Im ten times more envious of her than those two basket weavers.

[Zippy]

He's utterly obsessed with them.

Utterly. Never seen so much adoration lavished on people who deserve it so little.

Sign of the times. [/arista]

[Zippy]

we're not the ones posting creepy pictures of them in their underwear. Ew

[Joelle.]

Sue Katona could stop anything.

[joeysteele]

I rest my case, it was fun, ever seen guys on a stag night or students or for that matter even fancy dress parties.

[CaudleHalbard]

Best thing to do is ignore the haters. Leave them to wallow in their own bitter little worlds, whilst the rest of us have fun! Life is too short to hate.

Anyway, back on topic.......... latest odds. I think the juggernaut may be gaining momentum. Even Kerry is going to struggle to beat the boys.

Jedward 8-15
Kerry 11-4
Paddy 7-1
Amy 33-1
Lucien 66-1
Darryn 110-1
Bobby 250-1

I think Amy is expecting to do a bit better than 4th place........... hunnayy!

Interesting odds at this stage, I admit, just hope they may be near being right.

[CaudleHalbard]

The bookies usually get it right for evictions - but often wrong for the winner.

But as everything is a Vote to Save now, perhaps to confusion that normally reigns when there's a switch from Vote to Evict, for the final, will not apply this time.

Will be interesting to see. But it's really a two-horse race now, methinks. I doubt Paddy is really a runner, but I'm sure he'll be pleased with 3rd.

Awwww c'moooooaaaannnnn....... where's the fun in that!! We're giving the Jedites great reason to offer ongoing profusive reasons for why we should love them.

You never know, all that hard work might pay off and someone might even be converted!

As far as the winning: I would be really surprised if they do. I do think the switch in Vote To Save might throw a spanner in the works though. As you say: bookies have been pretty much on the nose as far as evictions in the past have been concerned, but often, way out as far as the actual winner.

We'll all soon find out soon enough!

Congratulations on finally reaching that touchestone of human logic. Some people hate them. They are free to post in as many threads as they want about this as long as it's not the appreciation thread. You won't convert them.

She already been on BBOTS (twice I think) - and scantily dressed.

I highly doubt there's a video clip on the web of it though!

No but if challenging unthinking views at least makes them think, it's an achievement in itself.
