Fatima was winning every save/to win poll here in the last week or so - often getting 6 times Mark's vote.

Perhaps its shows we just have more taste.

Am sure the TOWIE block vote that won the BAFTA for the show will see Mark through on this one.

It could be down to the fact that although we vote on the DS poll we don't actually vote to save on the show itself.

I voted on the DS poll but didn't pick up the phone to vote.

That could be a reason why.

Well obviously a lot of people did pick up the phone for Fatima - for her to come third and beat a Corrie star must have taken quite a few votes. But you cannot compete with the TOWIE/Mcfly fanbase multi voting.

Its not always the person most people prefer who wins these sort of shows - but the person who has a huge fanbase multi voting for them. How else do you think TOWIE won that BAFTA (based on phone in/online votes).

Obviously a lot of people did. I was merely pointing out that could be the reason why Fatima was topping polls on here, but obviously not all of us vote when it matters (if you get my drift).

I'm not new to this lark don't ya know

Sorry - no offence intended.

Our polls are one FM per vote - if you were only allowed to vote once on a reality tv show we would probably have got many different results over the years.

One direction might even have faded into history.

So online polls can be right - but multi voting can lead to different results. Nothing wrong of course with multi voting - its how they make their money!

Oh, no offence taken at all

Yes, I understand where you are coming from.

1D............I'm not even going to comment........don't get me started. They should still be in education imo LOL!

Talking of One Direction I think their fans are voting for Dougie. I mentioned earlier one of them tweeted his followers with the number and also Tom McFly wrote one of their new tracks so their fans seem to have a soft spot for the band. Whenever I search things like "Dougie" on Twitter I fet a load of One Direction fans saying they want him to win.

I'd prefer Dougie to win but really don't mind Mark. I got the result I wanted last night...the two control freaks out.

Yes, I think I remember seeing that 1D were backing Harry in Strictly. So it makes sense to think they are in Dougie's corner too.

Mark and Emily = the new Andre and Pwicey or John James and Josie

Expect a TOWIE spin off reality tv show sometime in the new year. With all the OK magazine deals thrown in too. Especially if Mark wins this thing

At least Joey Essex's REEM didn't get anywhere near #1! If that was the case, UK culture has just died a little bit more...

There seems to be a lot of hate for Mark. I assumed he was a complete bellend having caught glimpses of TOWIE, but at the end of the day, he seems like a decent bloke. I think a lot of hate is just jealousy. People never seem to give examples of why he is such a bad person, which to me suggests that not many such examples exist.

Sometimes we just have to deal with the fact that there's a tall, dark and good looking young guy who is also a perfectly decent human being. He's got it all (OK, he's clearly thick, but what does above-average intelligence get one these days?), mostly due to pure good fortune, and that's just the way the World is sometimes. Hating the guy isn't going to change that one iota.

When Ant & Dec have announced who is booted off, they say it's between two people. Is this the bottom two, i.e, the two with the least amount of votes? If so, should it not be noted that Dougie has never been in the bottom two....Mark has.

Also, I know when McFly were at their peek a year or so ago, Dougie was the girls' favourite. I don't think that will have changed.

Pretty sure Dougie has got this in the bag!

Its not just Mark, more so that TOWIE and the trend of "reality shows" it started has been virtually dominating for the past year and has proved that you don't need talent or hard work to become famous. Go Dougie!

It's been said that one of the bottom two is picked entirely at random, unless there is a head to head situation e.g. Pat vs Fatima.

What, so you dislike people who star in TOWIE because they don't have talent and don't work hard, even if they are a genuinely decent person? As far as I know Mark has a job in real life, or at least used to before TOWIE.

Before TOWIE et al, there have always existed supermodels. These don't have a talent or work hard, they are just born looking a certain way and let other people photograph them. Do you dislike all supermodels as a general rule, too? What do you class as working hard and being talented? Finally, being born with a talent is hardly something to be proud of. It wasn't worked hard for.

In my humble view, I think you should look more deeply at people instead of basing your opinion of them on the degree to which they are talented, the degree to which they are famous and the degree to which they have 'worked hard'. E.g., you can be a hard worker and a complete 4rsehole simultaneously.

I hate the fact that the media over expose chavs like Mark these days. It's depressing really.

I dont think the 'it might be you' means that both camp mates are in the bottom 2 at all. Mark was the it might be you when Willie went and Dougie was the it might be you when Crissy went.

It may be random - or alternatively its a way of the producers suggesting a camp mate who they want to make the final is in trouble - thus boosting their vote the following night (and making more money for ITV). They probably took even more votes for Mark and Dougie - by implying they were struggling!

It would be odd if both Anthony and Fatima went last night - that neither was bottom 2 in the previous 2 nights?

Not if we pick up the phone and chuck one vote Dougie's way, come on peeps, just the one?

I see where you're coming from - Mark has been the favourite since the start. Dougie is a bit of an underdog - but judging by Twitter and other internet polls, Dougie is leading atm.

DOUGIE TO WIN!

It would be nice if Dougie won but I really don't mind. I'm glad Anthony isn't in the final and glad that Fatima went out after him.
Mark may be playing a game but he was still nice with it. The others who were game playing (IMHO) were Anthony and Pat both of whom played it mean. So, if Mark does win I won't be too upset.
