I'm sitting here laughing out of nerves, yep i've officially lost it, wheres Susann when you need her! I need her confident responses right now!

Of course he won't.

If he grants an exclusive, then the paper he gave an exclusive interview with will fawn, their rival paper ( e.g. if its the Sun, the rival is The Mirror ) will slate him but try to be PC about it.

The rest will comment neutrally, with maybe one or two with their own spin on it calling it an "exclusive". The broadsheets will make dry comments about the tabloids.

If he doesn't grant an exclusive, and talks to all, then the items reported in all the tabloids will be shorter, to the point, pretty neutral. Maybe one or two will claim an "exclusive" ( when it is no such thing ) to get you to buy theirs.

If he grants no interviews, then it will be more of a free for all and he will get "Recluse Pete" type stories, and maybe a few catty words but nothing terrible.

Because he has what is referred to as a disability, he will get careful handling. It is the way of the journalistic world.

So long as he doesn't say anything very stupid tonight, he will be fine. So put worries about press reception right out of your head.

However, how they treat his mothers willingness to reveal all at a crucial point is not predictable. In THAT way they might hurt Pete.

lol, i know...i thought she'd be on more on today!

I am going to get my knitting out to calm my nerves. Ps can I thank everyone for this nice thread which I only discovered a few days ago. I feel safe in here some of the other C4 forums have got so hostile.

Loving Pete and Richard
Liking Jennie and Ash...Gyln I disliked but a bit of me is warmed to him because I do think hes been neglet in the Ash/Pete battle

Afternoon everyone- been really nervous all day go from feeling really confident to full of doom and depondancy.

Less than 4 hours until kick off

Go Pete! Eezzuamana!

I think the pro-Ais press is synthesised 'cos Ch4 were scared it was looking too one sided. Although I'm personally an Ais fan, I think all the press tells you is how strong Pete's position actually is.

i hope your right...Pete to win!

oh and thanks for coming in without bashing.

According to radio one, Ash is 4.5% ahead of Pete, anyone buying this? Do you think its for real or a load of bullocks?

well i've heard 1% 2% and now 4%...just vote and ignore them!

its all we can do really...
Feeling ok now.. we're all getting a little dispondant... looked in on some other support threads and everyones really upbeat and raring to go!!
I'm feeling confident after reading a lot more about how Glyn has moved to 2nd and Ais is 3rd... but, these stats are changing by the minute it seems, so, not going to bother analysing any longer!
Come on Pete!
Go on my son!!
There'll be singing in this house tonight when Pete wins!!
Brrr! Ye..hah!
there, just geeing myself up into a more positive mood...
Don't let the anti-threads get you down!!
There's going to be a rush of propoganda now and sudden 'conversions' - as if to explain that Pete is losing fans... ITS NOT TRUE!!
PETE IS AS STRONG A CONTENDER AS EVER!!

Seriously, don't believe their hype...
Pete's in a very good strong position. I still personally know of no-one who even likes Ais, let alone would think of voting for her (I know a couple Glyn fans, but thats a couple in amongst loads of people)

Chin up everyone!! I'll be back after dinner.. suspect Susann will be here too shortly!!

PETE WILL WIN!!

oh trinsk, please don't say that until we know! it just makes me feel as though people arn't going to vote as they're sure he will!

I have just run in here to take a rest from the pro-Ais and Anti-Pete threads out there.

:::sits quietly and breathes deeply:::

How has pete been today - not getting too stressed I hope.

The good thing is all the who do you want to win threads seem to say ash but they all have a who do you think will win bit underneath they all say pete

(does that make any sense)

he seems alright. Talking about him showing Richard his mum.

LOL Gambit! It's not complacency... just trying to focus positively!! Take a look at the other fan threads.. they're all going on about how their hm WILL win... I'm the only one saying it here.. don't think it will jinx it or ruin votes.. (especially as i also sneakily am nervous, scared and gritting my teeth at my assertions!!)
BUT!
WE MUST REMAIN POSITIVE 4 PETE!
And like has been said, save a few votes in case it's down to Pete + 1 other...
(back later )

It makes perfect sense micky... but if they think that they may vote more to stop it happening
Unless, they're resigned to it...
(now I've got to go before my pasta burns!! you guys!! )

Still voting for Pete! We can't stop!

Evening my friends, I hope you are all ready for Pete to walk out of there the winner

I have a bottle of Champers on ice ready for the event.

Pete has done this whole BB experience without any of the papers backing him, they have all slated him as the outright fave without asking his fans why they support him - he's been an easy target for them.

As far as i'm concerned Pete's won already!!!


Oh BTW, if you want to join me, i've started a Thank the WHATM thread as they have done a great job, and i wanted to tell them
http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...8#post10408378

I just want to say a last good luck to Pete, won't be able to come onto the forum later, son will be on the computer most of the night, so keeping everything crossed and off to give him some votes.

yes. Good luck Pete!

hubby has just banned me from placing any more votes for pete hes worried about the phone bill



Mad fool has just left me on my own for 2hours when he takes our daughter to her Karate lesson.

quickly vote!

Aye, I have to vote to do my bit.

Fingers crossed for Pete, the best HM by far.
