Didn't Darren boast in his book about how he was absolutely smashing Colin in the vote every single week?
IMO the two person finales have been far less predictable than the three person finals, although that's partly due to happenstance. It was obvious Jill (Denise was very unpopular, Julian was Chris Parker redux), Darren (you could hardly find anybody outside of the Internet supporting Colin or Zoe) and Tom (we knew the voting results from the round before) would win .
With Kerplunk it was uncertain, what with it being the first series, that the public would back off the comedy candidate at the last minute (it was for Sports Relief after all), with Mark we knew that Matt had beaten him in the public vote 2 weeks previously, and with Alesha nothing was certain as she'd been crushed by Matt in a vote (that was possibly partly to do with sympathy) quite recently.
Quote:
“In a 2 couple final, it is possible for the public favourite to not even be in it, so the public favourite will not always win. I prefer 3 couples.”
It's possible for the public favourite not to be in a 3 person final. Quite a few of us think that happened last year.
