Thats how it works. You get to express this opinion of yours through the vote system.





Right now though you are badly outnumbered in your opinion of her. The majority want her to win.

In a popularity contest, she is the most popular right now, and that's that. Position 'justified'.
That does not mean it is justified at all.. Cameron won BB4 and Rachel won BB9 but neither of them were justifed winners hence why they are considered the worst winners of big brother UK

You basically admitted she is boring and you can't get away from that your probably just embarrassed about it at the minute being an Alex fan and admitting it but unlucky and i hope you get over it soon

But they won.

Therefore they were justified, no matter your personal opinion of them.

You might not think so, but you should have voted harder I guess.

Argentina beat England in 1986 thanks to a Maradonna handball but since they won i guess it was Justified

No offence to the girl but for me it's a no!

She has made me laugh and I have loved her conversations with Harry & Aaron, but sadly that is it.

I see nothing in her other than she's good for around 10 minutes of the highlights every night and ten minutes isn't no where near enough for me to think she deserves to be at the top half way through the show.

It's fine to play 'hide the banana' or 'find the coloured sock' but that's just not enough.

Stop with that 'your basically saying..' BS as well. It's just your way of twisting what people say into something your want them to be saying. Respond to what people actually say, not what you need them to be saying. Anything else is dishonest and weak and shows you havent got a point that can stand on it's own.

Look, I have explained it to you, in the same way a parent might explain to a stubborn or just plain stupid child, but you obviously don't want to (or can't) understand the point being made so I will leave you to it now.

This is me bascially saying, btw, your a pointless little internet troll and I can't be arsed with you any longer. Just so we are clear.

I was responding to what you said i was responding to the " You turn up with as little as possible and just do what you do best. " which to me sounds like you were admitting she doesn't has much to offer so she may as well be all nice and win that way which to be sounds like a bore.. don't get into a strop and start crying because because someone is replying to you

Not at all. I like Alex, but she hasn't really done a whole lot. She's not a great housemate.

Which says how mediocre this series has been overall. Too many easy tasks, too many easy evictions. I vote Alex, just to stop any of the others in there winning. Most of them are either in a gang or boring or both. And that leaves Alex (funny) and Tom....enough said!!

Shes a nice and genuine person and probably the least offensive of all the housemates, however other than that she hasn't really done alot, to warrant winning!

That said, some other BB winners never did alot and won!it seems thats what the public vote for!

She will win, no question but i dont think she deserves to!

Although Alex seems to be a popular choice as winner, I agree with the
previous poster that Alex really has not done much to warrant the win.

Although I enjoyed the spray-tan task, Alex really hasn't had that much
air-time and not done much to affect the house. She is "under the radar"
most of the time.

Louise, although very beautiful was also "under the radar" for the first few weeks and I agree with others that she was a dull character. But in the last
few days we have seen more from Louise and IMHO has overtaken Alex
towards the winning post.

I don't think either of the will win. I think someone like Aaron should win
since he has done more for the show. But this is my own opinion.

Paddy won Celebrity Big Brother, but really did nothing (just like Alex)
so who knows how the British public will vote.

she's done absolutely nothing to justify winning for me, she's played safe the whole way never offending anyone. I suppose you might like the colour she adds to the house, but for me that's not enough.

Alex is very sweet and she makes me laugh. She has had some classic moments. I like the drama and arguments too but when it comes to the winner I want a genuine, nice person to get the money - not some argumentative, manipulating dickhead. Past BB winners have all been fairly genuine, nice people, so I guess most viewers feel that way.

No not really. I'm fed up of reading stuff like "she's so nice and sweet and genuine she deserves it x" **** off being nice is not a worthy reason to win. All the storylines this series have been made by Aaron, Harry, Jay and Anton (also Rebeckah & Heaven when they were in there). Alex is just an extra thrown into the hl show once in a while for a cheap laugh.

The only people more undeserving of winning than Alex are Aden and Tom.

Sophie Reade didn't fake her way into winning. It's not her fault she was the most popular Housemate of BB10 by a landslide

Thankfully this, and other, forums with all their polls and whatnot, do not reflect how the majority of voters feel.

The majority obviously see in her a fun and charming counterbalance to all the darkness in there that they enjoy a lot and therefore she is popular.

Does this 'justify' her? Ofc it does, to those that value such things.

To those that value arguing, aggression, manipulation, fake showmances, and being generally vile, ofc it won't though.


But, again thankfully, the majority of voters seem to want their winners to be good people and that makes her popular, which in a popularity contest is all you need to 'justify' yourself to anyone.

Not really IMO. Seems a nice enough girl, but shes only featured when messing around with Tom or when they give her a task.

I think part of the reason shes odds on though is not to do with her, but to do with how marmite the other faves are. If Aaron goes before Jay a lot of Aaron fans would vote Alex just to stop Jay winning, and vice versa. However I do think she would probably be favourite anyway, just not at the odds she is.

She might start getting featured more once this wolfpack thing dies down. And then I will probably change how I think, but at this moment, she probably has about 20 mins worth of footage since they entered, and 10 mins of that is the yes task.
