Is this series going to be another coup for the highly coached radar dodgers?

Ollie and Sam - nice people, but who clearly calculate every act according to extensive media coaching - look ominously poised to mug the public by snatching victory (well, one or the other!)
If it were to happen, it would prove a feeble, lame ending to an excellent series IMHO.
Are sufficient people going to moronically fall for it again?:(

The plastic reality nonsense duo have done nothing if either of them win it would be a travesty. Silly little school kids seem to think they are gods but the truth is they are both as boring as hell.
Tomorrow maybe.
Historically many people who were accused of doing nothing actually were central to the running of the house and supporting the bigger characters. Some even had winning stories doing more constructive things than those who made more noise. Some won because everyone else was terrible. You are right that nowadays they often win for doing nothing at all. The goodlooking boyband type does well on most reality sghows, as do the people who seem to need mothering. The people from minority, terrible, reality TV shows also have a cross over fanbase.
Here, there's a question where the vote that dislikes anyone noisy or controversial will go. The teen boyband vote actually has a couple of naughty male singers to go for too. Jim will be claiming much of the puritan, elderly, and far right working class vote, and anyone who couldn't follow the story and feels sorry for him.
There's not really any good winner in there. Luisa's been a great house mate at revealing everyone's issues and contradictions - from idle sexist Dappy, to chauvinist misery Jim, to Lionel's Peter Pan issues, to do nothing, offend no one Ollie. However, along the way she's upset all the fans of all the people whose bubble she has stuck her fork in. She's also upset all the puritans, and fallen out both with the elderly HM and their fans, and the do nothing nice people. She's done a brilliant job at this, one of the best ever at assessing her fellow HM, but she's made the cardinal mistake of voicing her conclusions loudly, and arguing them in full - instead of just acting on them, or dropping subtle hints in the diary room. Subtle hints though would be ignored by whats left of the voters, just as they are when BB explains whats really going on. BB must be delighted, though, that she's kept them in dramas for the entire series.
