Do you think Martin was in the bottom two? |

Yes, it's hard to believe that viewers would vote for a gold-medal winning Olympian and a retired Premier League winning footballer rather than a daytime TV presenter
.I'm hoping that Martin isn't anywhere near as popular with the majority of voters as he seems to be with the posters on here. He can be quite amusing at times but I find him rather tedious tbh, so the sooner he leaves the better AFAIC. I'm not quite sure what you mean there? Are you suggesting that viewers would be voting on Celeb status of campmates? rather than entertainment value which I thought was what these type shows encouraged you to vote on, your favourite not the celeb or zeleb status of campmates.

Larry has a very high opinion of himself...used to quite like him but after watching him on this show gone completely off him....bully is the best word suited to him.

That 2nd link didn't work. I've found these from a post from last year;
Bottom Two's Vote 1 - Susannah & Chris (Actual B2, Susannah Out) Vote 2 - Brian & Yvette (Actual B2, Brian Out) Vote 3 - Yvette & Chris (Duncan announced as Bottom 2, Yvette Out) Vote 4 - Chris & Lady C (Tony announced as Bottom 2, Chris Out) Vote 5 - Duncan & Tony (Actual B2, Duncan Out) Vote 6 - Tony & Jorgie (Ferne announced as Bottom 2, Tony Out) Vote 7 - Jorgie & Kieron (both out) So I'd say that's about 50%, so not 90% I don'y really know why they do it but looking back, it seems to happen once a series most years with the odd exception. I admit 90% may not be entirely accurate but then 4 out of 7 (as above) is not 50% either! One thing we can safely say, we don't know until the end what the real story is, but, even in a bad year, the "bottom two" is more often true than not. |

It's hard to believe the likes of Sam, Wayne etc. had more votes than Martin. What do people think?
It will be interesting to see how he behaves after that result in tonight's show. A good test of his new found cooperative behaviour and "niceness" Are they deliberately stirring him up again? I hope he's found enough maturity and sense not to go back to that.

2015 was not a typical year. The three previous years it only happened once per series.

I assume they will manipulate this to make for good viewing and skew the votes. However carol was in the bottom two for the first 2 vote offs this year which is a bit cruel if she technically shouldn't have been. Full stats are on wikipedia for each series btw |

So, it turns out your own data showed that I was right - you made it up.

Just because last year was a bit different than previous years and they used false bottom two more often doesn't mean they made it up. Go back and look at the stats for all the series yourself and you'll see that the 'wildcard' only happened once or maybe twice in the previous series. 90% may have been an approximation but it certainly wasn't made up. |

Mostly, it is the bottom two. They usually throw in a wildcard once or twice per series but 90% of the time it is the actual bottom two.

How many people watch daytime TV or HUTH? I had little idea of who he was and he hardly made an appealing first impression.

Incorrect, as shown by the data subsequently provided.
Have you checked the other years yet? |

Did you miss the post where I said it was a inaccurate guess and apologised?
There are some other odd people who are still trying to make me out as foolish for (correctly) challenging your (incorrect) assertion. |

The person making the bold (incorrect) assertion needs to provide the evidence (which doesn't exist).

It may be under threat, the reason Martin's on IAC? Homes Under The Hammer to be axed? Host Martin Roberts angry over government calls to drop show http://tv.bt.com/tv/tv-news/homes-un...11364067797845 Quote:
Mr Whittingdale’s plan outlining the future of the BBC singled out Martin’s show Homes Under The Hammer for criticism, alongside other daytime favourites Bargain Hunt and Escape To The Country.
It suggested that they were part of “a static daytime schedule highly reliant on long-running property and collectables programming”. |

I think I could have a good stab at your score if you did. 😀 |

Did you also miss the part where I said that in the previous three years, the "bottom two" was only wrong once each year?
Still not 90% is it? You remember the 90% that you described as a fact. And then rightly and humbly apologized and confirmed it was not a fact and not correct. It seems others struggle to comprehend. I wouldn't worry about it - it's their problem, not yours. |
