So let me get this straight. Those contestants who have aroused particular passion (strong likes/dislikes) among the viewers have either been evicted straight off or targetted in revenge for someone having voted for a favourite. People get really involved and therefore really upset when one of their favourites is voted off (I should imagine that this includes most if not all of us by now). The only contestants who are left (once Pip goes today
) will be those that no one has really cared about strongly enough either to support or target for eviction with any degree of conviction. So the winner ends up being a rather bland "compromise" candidate - someone who has been neither the favourite nor the least favourite of those who have participated in the voting.
Boro, may I congratulate you on managing to capture the essence of "real" Reality TV in this thread with such incredible accuracy.
Sad to say, but I rather like Reality TV (although the endless "variations" on the original theme are becoming somewhat repetitive) and so I tend to watch it quite a bit. And this thread has gone almost exactly the same way that most of them go.
