In the final week of Britain's longest running Reality Show competition, fans of Big Brother series 10 turned to Twitter to express their allegiance to contestants in the build up to the exciting finish. Such was the fervour surrounding the event, a competitive League was created to monitor the interest in the housemates. One housemate in particular, Sophie, stands out as having gained a significant amount of support. The contestant has evidently appealed to the online community with her easy charms and good looks, and this was reflected in the official public vote, which saw Sophie ultimately crowned Big Brother winner for 2009.
 
It's fascinating to see Twibbon correctly predict these kinds of results. It works as an accurate system for such a contest because users who actively use Twibbon to show their support are closely aligned with the people who are likely to make the effort to ring in or text using their phones to register their vote in the televised competition itself.
 
Theoretically, Twibbon Leagues have the potential to be impressive predictors of everything from reality voting programmes like Big Brother to predicting the music charts or the results of political elections.

Twibbon Leagues has now launched new leagues for Strictly Come Dancing, a British reality contest, and American Football College Teams.
