Who went last night?!

[eggcup5]

It was Sam. He shouldn't of gone I reckon it's set up.

[Numbers]

'of?'

[rja211077]

indeed we are left with a couple of bog-standard cruise ship redcoats now. the voting this year has been bizarre.

[robssk8angel]

hurrumph. so we're left with the fat one and the one who's name no-one remembers? this will never do

[bernardo]

"who's"?

PS the problem with the voting is that the viewers do not vote to evict the worst one. Someone who is quite good might lose because they are everybody's second favourite - i.e. not enough votes from people who think they are the best one. My theory is that most voters thought that Sam was safe, so they voted for Michelle (to keep out Mark) or for Mark (to keep out Michelle).

we quite often end up with governments that the majority of people didnt want for exactly the same reason, voting is rarely a very satisfactory way of deciding anything
