But now I'm not so sure. ALL the polls have Craig in the lead. It's a small difference, I know - but for every poll to have him out in front sort of leads me to suspect that he's not coming across well with the voters at all and will be kicked out tonight.
I still have doubts, but the polls are telling us something. If the result was going to see Mary evicted, I would expect at least some discepancy in the polls - perhaps a couple with her in front, but - none.
The average of the polls is generally right, IIRC.”
I know what you mean - usually the polls are fairly accurate. However, I think this year it might be a bit different. In the past the eviction nights have been fairly predictable (the editing for one has certainly given an indication of who is going to go). Last night's editing though was so balanced that I think it set it up for a less predictable outcome.
I appreciate what the polls say, however, I wonder if this time the interenet users are the ones out of step with the actual voting public We tend to support the more exciting characters, whereas this isn't always reflected in the voting.
I do however take your point and am prepared to be completely wrong - I just have a feeling that Mary is going to be the one to go, based on chatting to the "average" bb watcher. I predicted Liverpool would win the Champions League - even at half time - so I sort of like to go along with my gut instinct.
