****official polls thread****

Be good if someone counted up those comments.

I've just thought of one reason - women voters on reality TV. Their preference for men all else being equal. It's not strong though.

TVpolls has consistently had Luke A and Adam doing better in 2nd choices than Deana.

That's strong evidence for me that they'll benefit most from vote transference.

If the last 3 are Luke A, Deana and Adam , If Adam leaves next luke A wins quite easily imo.

I can't see Deana picking up vote transference from anyone

yes

Wouldn't there be too short a time period to have an impact to the overall % ?

* "yes" to TVPolls.

I don't think it's that decisive bearcub, and the final 2 voting window is too small usually to have that effect.

And if they are the final 3 (likely) it needs an immediate vote-again ie the 3rd place hm fans will have just voted their hm to see them gone, very unlikely they'll vote again for someone else.

I would say a large % vote again when it comes down to the last 2 Henry. Its a pretty powerful segment, a climax where you can be involved and take part even if your favourite went out in 5th. everyone has an opinion on the last 2 hms. At a minimum you have an ad break and an interview of the third to vote.

If the last 2 sitting on the couch at the end are Luke A and deana i simply think he wins. he's just very votable imo

He has to get to the last 2 though of course

I think people would be more likely to vote again if there was someone they definitely didn't want to win left in the final 2.

agreed Squares, and as much as it pains me to say so I think Deana does have a negative there

Though i dont think that negative really shows up that much in these types of shows thankfully

Just been through the "favourite HM" poll on DS and counted the numbers where only 2 HM's were mentioned in the comments section.......surprised me a bit tbh

Deana & Sara (9)
Adam & Luke A (6)
Deana & Luke A (3)
Adam & Deana (1)

Obviously an incredibly small sample,but evidence if Sara goes,then Deana benefits.

"he's just very votable imo "

Well let's first see how he behaves in the days following him hearing cheers for himself and boos for obese and herpes.

The same can be said for Deana too henry.

I think Luke knows the bmi comment was a huge mistake and he's certainly beaten himself up over it enough.

I think he will be a lot more comfortable in a smaller number household where he doesn't feel the need to compete as much.

Im hoping Deana will get bored and find ways of amusing herself, which usually involves taking someone to task over something trivial.

All to play for yet though, only takes a moment to ruin your chances as we all know

If Deana can just say nothing for two weeks she might just fall over the finish line in first.

On FB the vast majority of comments are all for Deana - I think this is where the core voters are

Depends if they even leave the lines open when it's a last 2. Didn't they close the lines completely for the Last 3 on Ultimate Big Brother? Can't remember what they did last year

Lines were open for the last two last year. Cue a mad panic to back Jay down to 1.8x by those who had huge reds on him. Backing Aaron at 2.1x was just lovely.

Jay surely never went that low?

I can't remember that tbh.
I thought Aaron went well odds on once Alex had gone

timbucktooth is correct, Jay went odds on just in the last couple of minutes before voting closed.

I guess it was down to the cheers for Jaye and the very mixed response for Aaron. And yet we'd heard the same crowd reactions everytinme each had been up.

I'm pretty sure I back Aaron at 5.1 on the final day last year.
(Tho I could be wrong

*backed

Sure you are wrong. Started maybe about 2.8 and only went lower

I've just read last years thread.
No mention of prices.

I did call Alex 3rd tho

Clearly there would have been a jay price crash but I doubt he went odds on

he did

so suck my luke a lips

for 5 seconds?

ok, i'll take that

I certainly backed Aaron at 2.1x, I think it was 2.14. On the final night thread I had enough time to point out what value it was. Squares reported that Jay was `favourite with paddies`, and fll said that   
Aaron was `from 30 down to 2` Both reliable reporters, I think we all agree, both reporting that Aaron was, at a minimum, 2.0. with Jay being odds-on.

i remember it tim, dont worry about these fecking idiots..clueless gumbies.
more brains in the white room

armagnac

Bit below the belt that one army, white room couldn't have any less brain cells in there if it was empty.

Deana cooked them.

Guys, I remember it well. After the lines reopened when Alex was third, Jay was around 2.3 then continulously shortened in the few minutes until ending up around 1.9 or maybe a tad shorter when lines closed.

Madder than jack mcmad

I think I can remember 1.88.  I usually post odds matched on final night threads, bit iirc I was on my cr@ppy old laptop somewhere.

Deana will be well clear before any mythological vote transference takes place. She's still steaming ahead on BBspy winner poll and most other winner polls.

Facebook voting being cancelled is a hindrance though as I get the feeling she was picking up lots of international votes. Maybe this is why they stopped it?

She killed them all by impersonating indians

(DS)

I've been watching Tellymix. Deana is 37% with 1400 votes but she was 42% with 800 votes and has been slipping since.

Suggesting she's favoured amongst hard core fans, who would visit the site more often and vote earlier, but not so much amongst the main casual voters (as we knew from TVPolls).

Unfortunately even Tellymix, which isn't a specific BB site, will still be read mainly by the fans.

* I'm quoting her percentage with the total vote figure, not her votes.

Guess the question then is,who will the casual viewer vote for? Is there a logical reason to suggest this will be Luke A other than the back story?

I don't know who they'll vote for but yes there are more reasons Luke A will get votes than his back story.

Vulnerability, humour, and he's the only one with a normal job and a marriage. A hard working taxpayer with a loved one waiting for him is a big plus for the voters (probably a subconscious plus in the main).

I hope not though, I find the whole "blub blub, I just want to be accepted blub blub, and to be accepted I need to win BB and £50K, cough cough blub blub" rather tedious.

Cheers H.Im minuscule red Luke A,which I could rectify easily if I so wished.

I'm in complete agreement with your last paragraph however,and he will remain red.

i think most of us are resigned to the fact hes the most likely winner because hes playing the 'perfect' game.
he knows what it takes to win and is delivering the goods to the public in a way written by past winners.

still could slip up though, he cant help himself on the b1tching front.
deana has hardcore fans but is more vulnerable to the casuals

one thing to consider is adam also has a back story which we've heard nothing of from him.
with a few DR visits and a late run, he still gets up to beat both on the line with a strong casual vote finish

"I'm in complete agreement with your last paragraph however,and he will remain red."

Logic error mate. Don't let personal likes or dislikes influence your views of probability.

I didn't say I agreed with your second paragraph .

My decision not to cover him is based purely on mathematics.Unlike virtually everyone on here,I rate his chances far less than the current odds on offer,and will therefore not be covering unless his price drifts quite dramatically.

As a side note,with the possibility of a double eviction on Friday it's not out of the question to have a 3 horse eviction Deana,Luke A and 1 other.

I rate his chances far less than the current odds on offer,and will therefore not be covering unless his price drifts quite dramatically.

agree, im virtually scrach on him now, very small red
still think adam shortens and the other two lengthen before all is done
all to play for, and with the prods handing 50k to the white room anything can happen imo
prods do not give a feck about anyone, i see them leveling the playing field too get as many votes from the diehards as possible in the run up to the final

how on earth the prods justify the criteria for the WR was a fecking joke
every house mate had a right to be in there
just proves the prods dont care one bit

very interesting, only 1/4 of DS may vote, think the casual is far more important this year.
probably why tv polls has been so good

Virtually no change in the last 20 hours.I must be going crackers,because I just can't see the justification for the continuing drop in price for Luke A.

Are the traders just ensuring a profit,or is his chance accurately reflected by a price of  2.5? I've read about the casual vote alledgedly favouring him,but personally I see no justification for that.With the Olympics reaching a climax over the next 6 days,who's going to be watching this anyway apart from the die hards?

Good point about the Olympics but it may not be decisive. Wiki weekly average viewers for the week just gone (final week, as you say, may show more difference):

BB12 Week 8   1.4 mill
BB13 Week 8   1.1 mill

tbh hems, i think the 1 million viewers BB has are all dihards
its less than 2% of the population figures
when u compare that to soap figures its peanuts, i dont think we'll see much of a drop
900k at worst

It makes no difference to me who wins as I have them level (book wise) but I'm now thinking it's Luke A's to win unless he messes up this week! I think there is more chance of Deana messing up with no Connor in the house!.
As for viewing figures come a week monday and Olympics has finished every one is looking for something to watch and I think he has an advantage over the rest of the house to pick up the "casual vote".
Very sadly we still live in a racist country and We have 3 people with a chance of taking the BB title - one is black, one is Indian and one is white!

Embarrassing if white with no c0ck beats black and indian descent. We need to get or prejudices sorted out

Comfy fav now. Been inevitable since beating lauren I guess

I agree looking on. IMO Deana's been a rip off since she went under 3.
The GBP want to win Luke A a new willy, not help Deana buy a new dress

Tellymix Poll if you only include the votes from the past 24 hours:

Deana-779 votes-30.9%
Luke A-573 votes-22.8%
Adam-567 votes-22.5%

That's an interesting one Orlaith. Deana still getting the most with the less fanatic too, this late in the poll.

She was stuggling a bit on there yesterday, only getting marginally more than Luke and Adam, but last night's highlights seem to have really worked in her favour and she is pulling clear again.

Cheers Orlaith. Interesting. My initial reaction to last nights show was that it is better to be featured at this point than disappear into the background.

Looking at the DS fav HM poll shows that if you take Luke A out then Adam picks up 12.5% and Deana 5%

Luke A & Sara too.
The others don't really count.

TvPolls will be interesting.
We could have Adam leading their elim poll by a decent amount

They've been about level recently. But you'd expect transfer from Luke to Adam

Last week's tvpolls the eviction vote was 48% Luke to 38% Deana. I was surprised Deana was that close on their poll to be honest.

The thing that intrigues me is that Deana is actually polling better on certain polls than she was when she was relatively inoffensive.

That's because her fans can see that her haters are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill with regard to her behaviour the last few days and it will probably strengthen their support as it did with Aaron.

aaron also had masses of casual vote, deana has none now
so stop comparing with aaron all the time ffs

hth

There is very little casual vote on this show.

I think some people fail to see a distinction between BB and CBB. There is a much bigger casual vote on CBB, imo.

It doesn't have casual voters in the way it did 4 or 5 years ago, but the vast majority of voters in the final never post on forums or FB.

Can't remember who it was who pointed this out, but the final weekend does clash with some pretty big final events on the Olympics.

Not the final itself though...

monday will see massive figures and casuals, will go against deana

I can't help but think there's a lack of enthusiasm for this years show. Terry Christian summed it up when he said there was no one in there very likeable.

I still think Luke A wins (although he's disappearing into the background), but I actually think all this heat with Deana going into the final is a positive for her. Especially if after the 3rd place announcement the lines are then only kept open for an extra 5 minutes or so, providing the support is legit and she hasn't come third of course.

I would haven't have any of the top 3 red.

It's BB. Of course there's a lack of enthusiasm   It's been 200 times more exciting than last year tbh

I've loved this year's BB and the cruelty of the things BB has been setting up.
Voting face to face and friends and family voting were fantastic.

I think they should have saved face to face for the final vote though, to make sure there was an interesting final week.

aaron also had masses of casual vote, deana has none now

No evidence Aaron had masses of casual vote, evidence he did have fans multi-voting thousand of times because they discussed it in the forums.

I’ve transferred a lot of Deana green onto the other two as she seems to be continuing her provoking. I still think (atm anyway) she’s got more chance of being in the final two than Adam, if so her price will shorten again. And the win can’t be written off due to all her loony fans. Her fans will be multi-voting Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday, whilst the casuals will vote once on the Monday evening.

In fact her recent bad behaviour seems to have increased fan support. Anybody understand the psychology of this? Is it the same that happened with Aaron? Maybe people can’t face the fact that they were wrong about somebody. Or maybe they enjoy payback, an eye for an eye etc.

For Deana to lose...somebody else has to win

Adam and Luke A aren't looking like winners from where I'm standing.
