She is not. She's Hughie in canine form. Does a good impression of being a darling little sweetheart but is a persistent, noisy, impossible wee f.ecker when anxious or confused.

I still think Hughie will win with Andy runner up. I actually don't mind who wins now. I was just glad the likes of Alex, who has a mega following on Instagram ( someone said 300 thousand ) has gone. I had visions of all the young girls voting in their droves for him.”

I forgot about Marc. You are right he was topping the polls to stay in a four way eviction and he went. Maybe the Irish were voting in the polls and could not vote in the actual vote to evict.

Might be the same in the case of Hughie

54% is given so not sure where you are getting 10-20 from?

So over half of the votes for Hughie on that poll are from people who can't vote for a winner. Wonder how many fir the others ar from Ireland?

Could make it interesting. Multi voting v one vote affects all candidates equally. Half of those polled who support Hughie can't actually vote. Might make it closer than we think.

The Tellymix online poll is clearly getting lots of action from Ireland and it isn't a large leap to assume all the online polls are seeing action from Ireland.

The reason I think this information might be interesting is three-fold.

First, the overall impression everywhere is that Hughie will win, this is based on the bookies and the online polls. The bookies odds are based on actual bets placed. The people placing bets are trying to win money and will bet on who they think is going to win and people look at online polls when they try to determine who may win. These polls effect betting.

Second, if people think there is a real horse-race and Hughie as the winner is not a forgone conclusion, they would be much more likely to vote.

Third, People in Ireland can not cast actual paid votes on landlines or Irish mobile phones. It is not easy for Irish fans to vote.”

Agree with all of that. At the very least it makes it more interesting.

Of course we don't know how much traffic for other HMs is coming from outside the UK.

True, I voted in the poll and I am in the USA and can not actually vote.
