In order to survive "vote to save"...
...HM's need a fan base.
I know it's not exactly scientific, but I've just had a look at the appreciation threads. Of the surviving housemates, Lisa has got practicaly no support at all. 20 posts on her thread (as I type) despite being in the house from the beginning! Hira has been here a much shorter time than Lisa, but at 101 posts, she has provoked people to be bothered to post, 5 times more than Lisa. With Bea attracting 177 posts (again, as I type), that's more than 9 times more than Lisa. I get the feeling not many will vote to save Lisa, because no one can be arsed with her. You heard it here first,,,LISA WILL BE EVICTED ON FRIDAY! ![]() OK, Digital Spy might not be an accuate barometer in the voting strategies of the wider GBP, but I thought it quite interesting. |

I don't know if this belongs on the appreciation board per se.....but I do agree that house-mates need some kind of fan-base in order to survive in a 'vote to save' scenario.
I think you're observations are quite astute, and although they may sound 'obvious' to some, you'd be surprised how many people really struggle to make the strategical cerebral leap from: Vote To Evict to Vote To Save The 'vote to save' dynamic is reasonably reassuring when it comes to house-mates who have managed to acquire a fan-base......and these are the ones who can generally afford to throw a little bit of sideways 'charity' out there for other house-mates, depending on who they feel might be in the 'weak' sector....and therefore in need of every single vote that they can muster. You mentioned Lisa, and this is interesting because I believe that she's generally perceived as being a nomination dodger, rather than somebody who has too much by way of public support outside the house. The 'Vote To Save' is something that will always compromise house-mates like Lisa, because her strategy [if indeed that's what it has been]...is solely dependent on her ability to manipulate the house internally.....without really paying too much heed to the necessity to win the general public over, and acquire an external fan-base should a time arise when she might need one. It appears that this time has arisen, and I would be very surprised if Lisa manages to survive this week, because it is essentially going to be a battle of the fan-bases....plus whatever charitable 'crumbs' are thrown to other house-mates with a view to sustaining their tenure. There's obviously still a few days to run on this, but it will be interesting to see how it pans out.
