So how does our top 3 being; a transgender man, a black male with a gang history, a British-Indian female - fit into this idea of yours that the public are inherently prejudiced?

Even if you did argue that race is a factor, that alone does not account for such a massive difference in percentages

That's because they have a storyline, they are all known to the public and liked for who they are. If you just put up a man and a woman, nothing else, no emotional investment, voters will save the man. It's always happened. There's only been one instance in a head to head where the woman has been saved since BB9 when rachel was saved and that's lauren vs. benedict. Same goes for if you put up a black woman and a white woman, voters will tend to save the white woman.

And not at all pathetic, I think it's more pathetic that people support such a vile, odious creature.

So you only crudely reduce it down to stereotypes where it suits, I don't deny that it might give an advantage being white/male but I'd say the difference is only marginal & I'm still surprised at how much Conor did win that eviction by

He's not just doing to where it suits. You're acting like because it doesn't happen every single time, it's not true, discounting all the times a black female is labeled as aggressive or a woman is shunned while a man is a "legend" for similar behavior. All this year's final three shows is that a broken clock is still right twice a day.

Hear hear! Let's he honest if Luke A didn't have that transgender story he would have went the week he was up against Lauren, that eviction is a prime example of a back-story versus a strong personality, the back-story always wins.

As for Conor if we're up in a head to head against any outsider he would've gone, beating Shev no achievement.

Yeah, luke A played a blinder that week. Talking to the insiders gave him airtime, he then made his first of many 'accept me' DR pleas, and got adam to dig lauren a big hole for herself 2 DAYS before the eviction. Yet she only lost by 7%.....THAT was a big turning point in the whole series. Still, no hard feelings, lol....
