Layla has a better chance of winning.

Now that sam has been evicted does anyone think that layla now has a better chance at winning with all of sam fans now sending their voted towards layla?
 
Not sure it would have been enough to get to top spot. Indeed they clearly only showed the tally board in full to get Michael out of the bottom two tomorrow, so arguably Layla now has an increased chance of being evicted.

I agree with this comment. I think BB wants Michael to stay through to the finale. I understand his popularity with many, but I just don't think he has the people behind him who really spend to vote much.
 
As bad as it sounds I agree with Bradley - a pommy should not win an Australian series.
 
Some of Sam's supporters were voting for him because he was a nice dude, and I've seen some of his supporters on Facebook supporting Estelle for that same reason. There was also the element of people voting for him to see Zoe get evicted first out of the final 6, which is why I assume he managed to boost his final percentage from 6% to 7% in the short duration between when percentages were shown at the beginning of the show and when voting lines closed. He probably gained less than 1% due to rounding, but you get my point.

I expect mostly Layla and Estelle to each receive a bit of his support.

I don't think either will see much of a boost though, most people simply give up on voting once their favourite is out and let nature take its course.

What could really affect the outcome of the vote will be who the fans of tomorrow's evictees decide to support should they make the decision to throw their support behind another housemate and continue voting.
 
I think it's a good point that some Sam fans like Estelle, they were both outsiders. Also the more Layla speaks the more her chances could decrease, she's been bitching about Estelle again. I'm not sure her supporters are as fanatical as Estelle's or Ben's either.

My first thought was that Zoe's fans would get behind Ben, but then some could get behind Layla who's been quite sympathetic to her this week, or there would still be a lot who would get behind Michael if he survives, despite what's happened over the last week. It depends who the other evictee is.

If Michael goes, would most of his fans get behind Ben? Or just not vote? Maybe some of them like the showmance and would get behind Estelle? Or the broadly popular Layla?

If Layla goes, how many of her fans would get behind Estelle, how many would get behind Ben? Layla's a pretty neutral character, liked enough by both sides, so her votes could go anywhere, especially as she would be getting secondary votes from fans of other housemates.

If Ben goes, would most of his votes go to Michael or Layla?

And if Estelle goes, you would assume her supporters would go for Layla?
 
I don't think Sam's genuine fans would easily transition to Layla, if anything they are more likely to be Estelle fans. His honesty and nice guy approach would resonate with Estelle's following.

Layla's gorgeous, but she has bitched a lot and been quite dishonest with HM's. I don't think Sam's fans would be into that.

As for his F&F voting base. If it were me I'd stop being a voter the minute he was evicted... BUT, he has said he will get the car is Layla wins, so maybe his F&F will vote for Layla so he doesn't end up empty handed.
 
Sam was the only person in f6 I would have liked to see win. I don't live in Australia so don't vote but if I did I would not support Layla with Sam being gone.
 
I liked Sam and Estelle because they were both the only people who weren't two faced. A lot of Sam fans think the same way. So at least some Sam voters will now vote for Estelle. Doubt it will make much difference though as clearly Sam didn't have a lot of voters.

I would hope so. Now that the tallyboard has been revealed it will make Ben fans vote like crazy to get him in front. I still would prefer Layla to win but if not then Estelle.

But he lives in Australia and has an Australian family and calls Australia home. I dont see Layla staying here, she'll take the money and spend it o/s
 
Her Dad is a Kiwi, that's practically Aussie.

Anyway I think Sam leaving will harm her unless she can get some camera time somehow.
 
Layla's nationality only bother me to the extent that she had obviously followed BB closely in the UK, and since the Australian show tends to copy the UK one, she had the advantage of knowing what "tricks" were coming next (ie the "second" house, etc). She's been one step ahead of BB the whole season. She's obviously a huge BB fan.

What bothers me about Layla is her (to me at least) obvious attempts to entertain us by playing the airhead. Knowing BB inside and out as she does, there is no way she didn't know the meaning of the word "strategy". When you see her in serious conversations with other housemates, she uses intelligent language, but then pretends to not know what a hand grenade is. I don't mind when people "play the game". I actually like it, and I respect those who can do it well. However, it really bothers me when an intelligent woman "dumbs down" because they think that's what the public want to see. When she does it so badly that it's easy to see through, then that's just bad game playing.
