Surprising results at popularity poll?
TV ClubHouse: Archives: Surprising results at popularity poll?
Sonia | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:08 am     I just check the CBS popularity poll at this last 11th week and I saw : 1. Popularity of Jason became lower, now 76%. 2. Amy is the same : 54% 3. Lisa popularity is higher: 80% 4. Dani: lower and lower each week, now 44% 5. Marcellas: highter, now 54%. Are you surprise of those results? Personnaly, I'm not surprise at all of Dani little popularity, and not really surprise about the Lisa and Jason results. How do you explain this lower popularity of Jason now? Guilty by association because of Dani? What do you think of the now higher popularity of Marcellas? Sympathy vote because he have been evicted by Jason and Dani? This sudden popularity of Marc is not really representative of the reacts about him on this discussion board. Do you think we can consider this poll to predict the public vote if there is a tie on the finally? http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother3/polls/popularity/results.shtml |
Wcv63 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:11 am     I think Lisa's popularity went up after her internet chat. It's always exciting to chat with someone from a tv show and that excitement that incited people to attend the chat on the CBS site voted while the thrill of the chat was still in the air. Jason's vote is lower because he is being held to impossibly high standards because of his nice guy image. One or two breaks in that image and people are ready to condemn him as a fraud. Additionally I believe some of the anti-Dani venom is rubbing off on him because of his alliance with her. I like both Jason and Dani and hope they win. |
Gina8642 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:19 am     I noticed that too Sonia. Interesting stuff. Wcv63 is probably right about Lisa's chat effecting her ratings. There was also her refusing to take the money during the phone competition. I also think CBS has started to show some of Dani's less kind atributes in the the TV shows and I think it's really cost her in approval ratings. I don't think enough LF watchers post there to change it, I think something has to happen on the TV shows, so CBS controls that to some degree. Amy has been the total underdog and everyone loves an underdog. |
Beegee | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:26 am     I wouldn't be surprised to learn that many feel they initially discounted or misjudged Lisa, and now want to make it up to her. She appears to be a very nice and down-to-earth person (perhaps initially assumed to be a snob because of her beauty and relatively quiet manner), and a serious player (perhaps initially assumed to be in the house just to hook up, and then just to be Eric's girlfriend). Also, the fact that she has made it this far though initially seen as unlikely to make it to the end, gives one pause. I would rather see Jason or Danielle win because I admire their alliance, Danielle's serious attitude toward the game, and Jason's handling of human relationships. However, I can think of no one I would rather see joining them in the final three, and I would not be at all disappointed at this point if Lisa ends up the winner. I like Lisa for some of the same reasons I like Jason -- she seems genuinely nice -- and, as it turns out, she has played a good game! |
Missy2 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:27 am     Lisa? The lizards are more entertaining than her. |
Sonia | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:29 am     You make very interesting points Wcv. It's frequently true than some people don't forgive "mistakes" to people they have give too high idealist image and even impossible high standards as you say. I agree your comment too about the result may be influence with his association with Dani, and about Lisa, her chatting with her fans, and of course, with Eric, have help her. I admit it was a very beautiful moment to see her "speak" with Eric. Maybe also when she refused the $$$ about the phone call, it had give her more fans. |
Kellirippa | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:30 am     How did a girl who slept with one of the guys the 2nd night, another shortly after and gave lessons about oral **x turn into everybody's favorite Polly-Anna? |
Cindyluvsroddy | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:31 am     i dont think lisa's popularity was from the internet chat ... it was maybe due in part because people liked the idea of her not accepting the money for a phone call ... and also, since there r only 4 of them left - and now 3 - she is getting alot more expore on tv ... she seems to come across as sweet girl on tv .. Jason lost some popularity because of voting marcy out and his alliance with dani .. but i still like jason |
Kellirippa | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:31 am     Don't get me wrong though, she's my favorite too! LOL |
Costacat | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:32 am     I'm not surprised at all. I've been watching Lisa's popularity steadily climb, as Danielle's has steadily fallen. And I agree that this past week has really contributed to her likeabiliy -- the luxury challenge that she *didn't* take and the Internet chat. As far as Jason's going down, well, there's a finite limit at 100% (although this poll isn't set up that way). So if someone is going up, someone else is gonna hafta head down. I also disagree that Jason is being held to some "impossibly high nice guy" standard. I think Jason is just pretty boring -- he's playing along on Danielle's coattails (in my opinion). And I think that is hurting him a bit. |
Sonia | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:36 am     Gina, Beegee and Missy, Wow! You all make rapid replies? LOL! I didn't see your posts yet when I first reply to Wcv. Thanks a lot for your comments too. You make good points too, and you give interesting new details. Continuity of my post after I saw the other replies: Kelli, Cindy and Costa, I'm so happy of how people participate to my topic! Each time I want to reply and I get out of my own post, I saw other news replies who have been made at the same time than me. LOL! Thanks a lot for your comments too. I will continue to check, I'm very happy of all your interesting and rapid participation to my topic. Thanks a lot everybody and we will see for other opinions maybe.  |
Romans8_1 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:41 am     voters are finicky and have short memories. Voters look at more of "what have you done lately". Don't get me wrong, I like Lisa, but if they were to show a couple "pedophile" statements, I think we would see the numbers drop. The 2 quietest people in the house are Lisa an Jason. They both happen to be at the top fo the polls. It goes to show that voters like less confrontational people. I think we all have to much drama in our lives and many of us look for soothing personalities. I think this also relfective in the polls. |
Wendo | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:58 am     Romans, exactly (re: the less confrontational players.) Which is why BB1 failed miserably. We're just to prudish. The BB1 formula works great in other countries because the people their have far less hang ups than we Americans. |
Jagger | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:07 pm     I've been seeing Lisa's ratings growing too, and Jasons dropping. I think Lisa's have grown because they keep bring up her romance with Eric, how she wants to see him after this is all over and done with. People who just watch the show love this kind of stuff and will vote them as the most popular. I think Jason's has gone down hill because of his alliance with Danni. Also they have dropped since he did not nominate Roddy when he had the chance. 've noticed that on this board and other boards that more and more people are disliking Jason and turning to Lisa, not sure why, but I've seen alot more negetives statements about him and possitive about her in the past few weeks. I still haven't seen Jason do anything that I would change my opinion of him. |
Espen | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:15 pm     In many ways, it reminds me of what happened to Hardy, Will and Nicole last year.. If you recall, Hardy started amazingly high, but then gradually, for each HoH dropped further.. Will, on the other hand, started very low and then gradually moved up, until he was near the top.. Nicole, on the other hand, kept dropping.. Now, I am not saying Jason has done as much damage to his image as Hardy, that Danielle is as bad as Nicole or that this means Lisa is the winner of BB3, but the similarities are there... |
Wcv63 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:23 pm     I think the trick is to start off with a generally unlikable personality and gradually grow into a likable one so that you can only go up in the viewer's estimations. After all, it worked for Will. (I must say that Will never did grow on me because that whole "leukemia stunt" left a really bad impression that he never could recover from IMO) |
Sonia | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:54 pm     True Espen, thinks may change each week, either in BB1, BB2 and BB3. Example, I would be very curious to see how things could change for Lori and Sherryl (BB2) if they could stay more long time. Those 2 women would be very interesting to watch more long time, and maybe, we would be surprise how their own opinions or strategies could have change too, with all the BB stories we know. |
