Taking a quick stab at it.
4th - John James (turned off alot of people towards the end, he also splits the JJJ vote)
3rd - Corin (benefits from the anti-JJJ vote, but she had a bit of a popularity drop around this time)
2nd - Sam (His popularity had the biggest momentum and he also benefits from the anti-JJJ vote, but not as much as Corin, since Sam became friendly with them towards the end. And I sense maybe some of his popularity was just hype and that it wouldn't translate to enough votes for victory)
1st - Josie (benefits from the combined JJJ vote, plus she possibly had more appeal to the casual/floating voters than the other finalists, except maybe Corin)”
Yes, I think that's very reasonable. I agree with all of that.

I'm glad he never made the final either and had he been in the full series I reckon people would of hated him by the end.”
I agree with that as well. People adored Sam when he came in because he was the fearless voice asking the questions we all wanted asking. (Though a bit unfair imo; since when has it ever been part of BB to put in a very late housemate to torment people with his outside knowledge?) But he showed signs of becoming a massive annoyance quite quickly. Allowing for the fact that he was extremely young, he still had rather a heartless, ruthless streak; and people like that never win in the end.
