She is odds on at the bookies , the editing is firmly in her favour.

Is it all about who can finish second now

When the numbers whittle down sometimes some of the quieter ones come to the fore. I think George or Kieron could potentially challenge, but it's Vicky's to lose.

She's got it sewn up as far as I can see.

The only way she'll lose is if ITV pull a swifty a do an eviction or two that are strictly challenge related.
They haven't done that in all the years IAc has been on air though and would lose out on phone vote revenue so it's pretty safe to say they won't do go down that road.

George is the only one who could win assuming there's enough of his boyband fans watching,I remember Matt Willis and Dougie Pointer doing nothing for the entirety of the show and walking off with the crown.
But Vickys nearly 2m twitter army will be hard to defeat.

I'm genuinely baffled


What has Vicky actually done to be viewed as the show's run-away winner ?


What have I missed ?

I'm baffled too. The other on the thread seem happily convinced.
I don't mind her but I can't see why she is a nailed on favourite but then I don't normally agree with the winners of any of these type of shows,

I recall people saying the same thing (and much worse) about Charlotte Crosby when she was on CBB.
Walked it.

The Geordie Shore, TOWIE, tweenie vote........simple!

I haven't warmed to Vicky at all........there's just something that's not quite, right......

What's your point ? ... that is doesn't matter what she does or doesn't do on the show ... just being off a realty TV show is enough to make her a winner ?

She knows how to play the game. Just avoid being yourself, avoid confrontation, only slag people off in the diary room, and try to show a positive face at all times. The others are being more honest about their feelings, but the public prefer the lies. So she will walk it easily.

Pretty much .. If you have a large fanbase you will get votes based solely upon that.
For example Matt Willis & Dougie Pointer who both did nothing on this show won because they had a dedicated fanbase.

I don't think that's what made those two winners at all

Doughie, in particular, was lovely ... I wanted him to win because he was so nice, and I'd never heard of him before !

And if a 'dedicated fanbase' ensures victory, how come David Emanuel stayed longer than Joey Essex ( with his 3 million twitter followers ) ?

She seems to be the chosen one, never seen her before and she seems nice, but I gather she hasn't been in other shows. Still if she is acting and can keep it up maybe she deserves to win.

I haven't warmed to Vicky at all. The positioning of Yvette and Susannah with Lady C was interfering too much

I notice you didn't place yourself with them. She's not clever to pull this off...

Gurned and faked her way through

She's upbeat and positive. She managed to restore at least a semblance of harmony to the camp when she became leader, in the immediate wake of the "9 against 3" scenario Duncan had fostered. She is decisive and so far her decision-making has been OK. She consults people and invites opinions, and isn't afraid to change things when it's clear the other contestants aren't happy with her choices. She has tried hard to include people, even Lady C.

I think her people management and communication skills are excellent, I'd never heard of her before this, but so far I'm impressed.

Also I doesn't hurt her chances that she's pretty in a (relatively) natural way.

She's a very clever girl.

One of her friends from Geordie Shore was on the other im a celeb show, and he said she is playing a massive game. The Vicky he knows would have caused arguments, and snapped at Lady C. He seems to think she will blow at any point, as she won't be able to keep up this act throughout the show.

She's annoying me with her stupid Geordie accents and silly sayings, waye aye and all that.
She is always in the bush telegraph talking about everything that goes off in that stupid accent and she's just quite clearly not being herself.

Vicky is brilliant. She's my favourite by a country mile. She real,that's why. Plus she loves Lady C. Got her head screwed on instead of being pathetic like half of em. Just shows how shallow some of em are.

Oh yes she is. Just been the same in Ex on the Beach. Never did watch Geordie Shore.

You gather wrong. Geordie Shore. Ex on the beach. I found her annoying in the ex one but she's brilliant in this. Smart girl!

I would think so. IAC is watched by millions of 'arm chair' viewers who have never watched an episode of GS.

She may be known to those who watch GS, but there's a big viewing figure for IAC ( unlike CBB's couple of million ) and an older demographic.

Joey Essex was odds on favourite from the start.

They won't risk losing her, she is obviously their "chosen one"

She's growing on me but I definitely wouldn't say she's 'real'. She's playing the game and is doing it very well, but you can tell she's thinking about how she's coming across every time she speaks.
