I'm baffled at this. He's done absolutely nothing of note since arrival - no trials, no arguments, no chests since the first few days, but he somehow seems to avoid the axe every day. He hasn't even been in the Bottom two yet.

I just don't understand it. Why would people vote for him?

It is the reality tv under the radar sort of contestant. He has done nothing in general. He should be gone in the next few evictions.

The same reason why Jimmy was there until the end, he is VERY popular outside these forums.

cus he wears a rubber mac

think the public are scared to put him up for a trial in case he carks it live on air. He looks a bit frail to do anything of interest.

But why? I just don't get it at all. There always seems to be the older man who slides under the radar, but at the very least George Takei was prominent.

I really can't think of anything that Willie has done that would encourage someone to pick up the phone to vote for him.

he is soooo boring imo BUT he doesnt get much coverage along with dougie which is a shame

They keep someone like Willie in to make the winner look good.

I am baffled as well. He appears to do nothing, and it is the viewers voting now. You would think they would forget he was there. I know I do.

Maybe he has a big family?

I also wonder how he's not gone yet but we don't know if he's been in the bottom two as the result is read out 'in no particular order'.

I really like Willie. He's nice, friendly, good-natured, funny.

Pat bored the life out of me.

I have no idea why he's always safe. I find him singularly boring. Can't imagine why anyone would vote for him to stay ........... Unless they like watching people that barely move.

He hasn't done anything, he gets pretty much zero screen time. I don't know why he's still there at all.

Nice one

Because he gets his t*ts out, it usually works.

The same could have been said about Jimmy White, we barely saw him but, he still managed to get to the final. Willie has had a long and successful career as a jockey and is very popular with racing fans. Just because the show isn't showing the "younger" viewers that someone can be famous for doing something otther than pose for the paperazzi doesn't mean to say that Willie doesn't have a story to tell.

I really would have liked to hear more of Crissy and Lorraine's story but, instead we get Antony biatching, Emily and Mark's fauxmance or Jessica Jane talking about her bust size. I doubt very much if I'll invest as much time in the programme next year. Sadly the programme is going down the same sorry route as BB and we all know what happened there.

Too true.

Well, in fairness to Willie, he gave me my first LOL moment with the ding ding ding, while flicking those little crab things during the immunity trial!

And he is always fairly good humoured, so people who like him will vote for him until he does something to make them change their minds!

If you really think about it a lot of the winners were boring until the end, it was usually in years gone by the eating task , who won that was the winner . who would have thought Tony Blackburn or the awul Willis or Pasquela and even worse still Squash .. it is not as obvious now but they have always had their winner picked out from the start apart I would say probably Tuffers, who did struggle at times but was the nations favourite

He is well liked by the public and will have the horse racing fans behind him too

LOL

I'm completely baffled as well and can't think of anything he's done of note either. He just seems to be there, a bit like the camp fire and about as interesting. Wouldn't miss him one bit.

he seems to be regarded with a lot of affection and deference but hes done sod all as far as I can tell and isnt interesting or entertaining.

Lots of people clearly like him, but based on the show I can't understand why. He's a nice enough guy, and has done nothing to be disliked, but I just don't understand why people would vote for him.

I only knew of him by name before the show. Does he have a reputation for being well-loved or something, because I guess that could explain a lot...
