Okay, iyo. But imo I still feel Mcfly fans will tip the balance, all things being equal. Just like when it comes to the final two in the jungle, I was told both Mark and Dougie were likable (in fact I read a lot of people were determined not to like Mark in the beginning), and the Mcfly fans factor tipped the balance. My opinion, of course.

I liked:
Series 4: Mark Ramprakash and Louisa Litton Series 5: Alesha Dixon Series 6: Austin Healey Series 7: No one. ![]() Series 8: Kara Tointon Series 9: Chelsee Healey followed by Harry Judd a country mile away. Jason, in comparison, is far away in Australia going by this distance analogy... For Otto and me it's Chelsee all the way, as Pasha is a competition animal and will be working his girl till the last moment. And should Jason win and embark upon a winner's analysis of the true situation as seen by ......I'll already be on a Virgin spacecraft to outer space. |

I'd say Dougie handled the last task better than Mark and that's what swung it. Think the same can be said for the dances they pick for the finals

It was interesting that Dougie got both the anus AND the penis when they're seen as the worst. Mark just got fishy stuff and worms. Think that helped Dougie.
Well, going by that analogy (?) I think Harry will win since Chelsee doesn't have a penis though both have anuses... |

Don't watch TOWIE but Mark struck me as very self-absorbed player. I was quite sure even fans of TOWIE won't necessarily vote for him seeing he dump a lot of women in that show?

Wasn't Tom Chambers the bookies' favourite to win? And he won?
Wasn't Mark Ramprakash bookies' favourite to win? And he won? Wasn't Alesha Dixom bookies' favourite to win (in the finals, after Gethin)? And she won? Wasn't Colin Jackson the bookies' favourite but Darren Gough won instead? |

don't watch either all I know is all the women in work are ga ga over him and he was who they all seemed most excited about going into the jungle. Something about him being " missuderstood" and just needing to find the "right woman"
![]() ah women and the workings of their minds can sometimes be a mystery even to a fellow female like myself ![]() ![]() I only hope the 'news' I read in DS is not true, namely Mark's going to be Tesco's next poster boy. I will stop shopping there.

I would take that with a pinch of salt. the Im A Celeb forum on here was so out of touch with what people were actually voting for. In fact it was like they were in their own little bubble.
Anthony Cotton was the devil incarnate and they were convinced that Fatima was going to win the voting figure did not tally with that outlook at all. With Fatima, they wanted her to win but expected Mark to (even though Dougie ended up doing so, but he was certainly second favourite to do so by the semi-final). Kind of like how a lot of people on here seem to want Chelsee to win but seem to think Harry will. |

Fatima had a strange public vote. On one day she came bottom 2 the following day she came first just goes to show it's about what happens on the show. Sometimes she came across as good others not so good.

Oh dear, now that anus and penis analogy is out of the way, if I understand your parallel above are you suggesting Jason will win???

[/b] Nobody likes an old winner. Hollins was the oldest winner, at 39, and he only got away with that because he was the height and build of a toddler. Kara and Harry are both almost the youngest in their class, but in both cases there's someone a bit younger/less mature (Tiny Tina/Chelsee) to remind you they're still a grown-up.

How old was Ramps when he won because I seem to remember that he was on the older side as contestants go - late 30's at least.

Be nice and middle class : This goes for pretty much all Strictly winners, but remember that VT where Artem met Kara's parents? Remember how the romance seemed the most important aspect? WRONG. It was showing us all that they lived in a nice big house with high hedges and classy furnishings. Do we even need to start with Harry?
Haven't got any hedges (high or otherwise) but have got a nice (and high) ivy-covered wall. Think that trumps any flora to be found at Tointon Towers. |

Fairly sure Darren was favourite by the day of the final and 100% sure Chris was, unless someone knew some very slow bookmakers indeed.

Jesus, how thick were gamblers that year? Who didn't know Gough was winning?
