Ultimately I`d be very surprised if Foggy does win simply because he appeals to the kind of people who may enjoy these types of shows but ultimately wouldn't bother voting, the same reason despite there being uproar on my Twitter football fans timeline about Jimmy going, very few even considered voting.
Jake on the other hand has considerable backing from reality tv stars and their fanbases, many XF acts for example and has exactly the kind of following motivated to actually vote and vote many times, and Twitter demonstrates that's exactly what they've been doing.
For the record I don't mind who wins out of the 3, they've all been decent contestants in different ways and have at least all got stuck in, just feel Jake is most likely for the reasons above.”
I used to think exactly like this, in fact if you go back to this time last year I was SO sure that Joey Essex would win for these precise reasons (big fanbase multiple voters etc.) & I was the exact same about Mark Wright as well, I was so sure both of them would win , but what previous years of this show has tought me is that the show appeals to a different type of audience of voters than shows like the X factor for example.
I could be calling this completely wrong but it reminds me so much of how everyone seemed to think Mark was a shoo in to win because he got so much airtime etc, same with Joey , but in the end people seem to side with the person that doesn't get as much airtime but also doesn't cause any fuss etc.
