Does anyone else think it's a bit sad that 11 grown adults all voted within their own gender group? Not saying that the wrong choice was necessarily made (though it isn't the one I would have gone for), but it seems bizarre!

Not that surprised but it makes it all rather daft and it should be like BB where they all sleep in the same room ..... there is always a certain amount of bonding whatever the sleeping arrangements are...... same happened in BB4 for example, if any of you are fans of BB.

I think any one of us could have predicted that that would happen. It stands to reason, therefore, that the people who run the show did predict that it would happen.

Its a shame though as the better final would have been Tara and Barry

Yup, it was so predictable and rather pointless.

I'd have liked it better if Tara wasn't allowed a vote and it went back to the numbers cast by the public when it was 5-5.

Didn't seem fair to me that one finalist got to choose their opponent.

I did think it was a bit odd I have to say, as it was advertised as an "ex student" vote. We all knew the result when Tara went up to vote. She was not going to vote out her best friend in there.

I think its a bit silly they did that to.
In fact throughout the series it was nearly always the guys voting for the males to stay and vice versa.
It would have bee more interesting if say it was between shaun and colin.

At the end of the day, with the Judges and Fellow students "saving" people, and the "ex students" deciding who comes 2nd and 3rd, there is room for manipulation. Last time when everyone kept saving the (admittedly nice bloke) Reggie Yates who should have gone about 10 times over.

I know it's for charity, but let's face it: if all the women vote for women and all the men vote for men and one gender has a majority, it is farcical. If one finalist can choose their own opponent it's worse.

For all we know, Shaun could have been a handful of votes behind Tara with Tricia way back in 3rd. Indeed given the "personality" voting I'd be surprised if that were not the case.

The big question is though: why do we all get so upset? These celebs are not there for Charity, they are all self-serving. They all expect a career boost from this, I suppose at least Angelica's naked ambition was more honest than the others .... who knows?
