neither will win because

say George James or Dee comes out in those spots their votes will then go to the other two, then the remaining one when two out of these three are out

if Edele comes out in those spots, her fans will not bother voting again so no roll over for her votes

if Audley or Gary come out in those spots then their votes will go to each other, hence their only chance of winning is if just one of them comes out earlier

It will be interesting to see who gets the most votes out of George, James and Dee. I would probably wager a bet on James only due to the fact that he is against Audley and Gary so much, therefore those who dislike A and G, will fling votes J's way.

My guessing order would be Adele 6th, Dee 5th, Audley 4th...................Dees votes are then split between George and James and Audleys will pile onto Gary. Depending on the time scales between closing lines George will come out 3rd, and if the time allows his voters will push James to win, but if it is close (as we saw in the summer votes) then Audleys followers will push for Gary.

It is good to see a close finish and really it is anyones game. My personal favorites would be George or James, but if Audley or Gary win then well done. All in all a good CBB to watch, as long as you keep it tongue in cheek and realise its just a manipulated fun game and they will all walk away unscarred.

You're assuming that when a person's fave goes their vote transfers

I want Audley to win, but if he goes my vote wont transfer to anyone. I'd want Gary to win, but I wouldn't then spend money voting for him.

I really don't think it's anyone's game at all....BB would like non Gary fans to think it is so they can make more money...but it's going to be an obvious landslide.

Transfer of votes won't matter much either... not this time.

As soon as James leaves I will be switching off, I'll check the website tomorrow to see who'd eventually won but I won't transfer my votes to another HM

other than edele i dont really mind who wins they have all added to the show in their own way i dont usually like rows but i have watched this series from start to finish good luck to them all.

So we won't be seeing you on the forum once Prancer is booted
OK - we've had a good laugh, us two, so in case James goes quickly.... nice to have 'met' you.

Sadly like the Helen fiasco,it is going to be controlled by voting syndicates. Due to ch5 destroying BB ,not many people watch now,so is a lot easier to do these betting wins. I won't be watching , couldn't stand to see one of the wolf pack win,so will watch Ds for the results. I'm praying for a miracle in either Audley or Gary winning but sadly I don't think it will happen.

i really don't think you can 'assume' that people will vote for another simply because their favorite has gone, i imagine its a very small minority that does this and not enough to make a difference at all.
i have voted for Gary, and i won't be voting for anyone else regardless.

More people watch CBB, it gets more coverage, which probably equals far more votes than the civilian BB, which makes it more difficult to manipulate.
The winners of CBB have tended to be far more clear cut than the civilian winners.

Do many people really transfer their votes? I usually vote for my favourite (in this case Audley) and then when they go I don't bother voting anymore.

I think when the lines close they should stay closed to get the true result. People do transfer vote just to try and stop someone they don't like from winning but how can the winner know if they won because they were liked or by default?

I never transfer votes. I don't even vote often, only if I feel strongly about a housemate. When the have gone I don't vote again. I'll give George a couple of votes today. If it came down to James and audley or Gary last two I might vote a couple of times for James as I really don't want either of these two to win.

don't fret too much I'll be back in January most prob supporting the HM the who Forum seems to hate again

Great 2014 for me, first Chris and now James

One consolation, both my Favs ended up in the final against all the odds

I'm scared you might be right there. The voting has really been messed up lately.

I'll bet you're on here whatever

I kind of agree, it's been the case of that really. Most of the times, if only one member of a group is there against 5 members of another group, that sole person will win because the other 5 votes will be split, but if its say... Audley, Gary and George Final 3, George could take it just based under the assumption that Audley and Gary fans will be split and George would have Dee, Edele and James' support.

I think people like to think that if so-and-so goes then they'll switch their votes to their next choice, but when it comes to it I don't think most people can be bothered. Partly because they are disheartened at their favourite going and also the show is incredibly rushed now.

However I feel like all the unofficial rules when it comes to voting for a winner have been rewritten since Helen. Not only for her type of character (before BB15 I always had the excuse that people end up voting for the nicest or most relatable housemate left, though I suppose the relatable excuse could work for Helen in a roundabout sort of way if people could understand where she was coming from), but she also didn't have the most votes when the show started.

CBB has more viewers and therefore probably more voters too, so the result might be more predictable (or less predictable since alot of the voters for CBB might not make their voices heard over the usual social media sites).
