Many years ago, I concluded, rightly or wrongly, that who wins is decided by mums who very casually watch with their kids. Cracko winning fits in line with this. The struggling mum story. Mising her kids, the repeated ads of her phone call to them. They can just latch onto that basic idea of who Coco is and vote. The several weeks lusting after 'loveable larkin" Bruce with his six pack also probably appealed to them.

They would have automatically sided with Coco when she bitched about Holly. As a well put together, pretty model, who watches what she eats, is vocal about that would be an instant hate. Any nuance their surface level viewing could have picked up on Coco being the problem won't exist as a result.

Em can't compete with any of that because she won't have left much of an impression to them.

I feel personally attacked! Lol
FWIW I'm a single mum middle aged white chick and my teen daughter and I were not fans of Coco at all. She came off as very calculated and also scheming. She also was a massive two faced hypocrite.
Do we actually know who does a majority of the voting. Michael seemed to think it was young chicks for some reason.

Sorry, I didn't mean to and I wasn't referring to someone like you who actually watches the show and pays attention. I do think most of the voters are women who casually watch though. I think the mum thing came from seeing stuff the Ben Norris season of people with their kids thinking Ben was hilarious.
 
The eviction process was a mess. They need somewhere to sit, with a roof and be far enough back from the audience so that the HM's don't get distracted and wander off to say hi to some nobody. Or worse see a family member and just ditch Mel for their family.

Mel doesn't do a great job either, she lets them walk about, take the mic like with Holly. Mel needs a course in media control.

Last night was a joke when Colin latched onto his mother, he just wasn't wanting to answer any questions and was able to use his mum as a shield.. Other HM's too, just did whatever they wanted whilst Mel stumbled after them.

Another thing I can't understand is how these people can miss their parents, siblings etc so much for 30 days. What happens when these people go on holidays for a month, do they have a complete melt down mid holiday and have to return to mummy ??? I can understand it with parents/kids but no so much with adults missing mummy & daddy ....
 
Yeah my Mum also clocked Coco playing the 'my kids' vote (or production also playing up to that with the edit also), but also told me Coco kinda reminded of Sara Marie in some ways I was like erm... well yeah (Mayyyyybe the rough bogan-esque accent kinda way I could see perhaps), but also...nah. Can you imagine Coco coming up with something like the Bum Dance/Bunny Ears this year? Her thing was probably the Coffee shenanigans. Haha

I found the most interesting part of the finale was when Bruce called the experience traumatic and Mel awkwardly asks "A good kind of traumatic?" lolwat - there's no 'good' kind of traumatic. He was probably exaggerating but who knows?
