Early Thoughts

Having watched the opening show and a fair bit of live feed it's easiest to start off by considering who can't win.

1. The Awful Pink Twins (Amanda and Sam) - Immature, fluffy, shallow, hyper, irritating squealing voices. They'll drive their fellow HM's and viewers crazy. They're already doing my head in. Absolutely no chance of winning.
Currently both about 25/1. Should be 100/1 +

2.Charley - Not only booed on the way in (as the 'lovely' leah from BB7 was so keen to tell us over and over again happened to her) ...but also crys of 'Out!, Out!, Out! '. Surely a 1st.
She just comes across as obnoxious.I'm sure somebody loves her, but I'd bet my Grannies savings that she won't be there on finals night.
Could make Grace from BB7 look like Snow White
Currently 50/1. Should be 1000/1

3.Shabnam - Reminds me of a female version of Shahbaz. Seriously insecure and needy. Not comfortable in her skin and the fact that she seems to be 'clinging' to Charley can only add to her problems.
Currently 33/1.

4.Emily - Way too posh and full of herself to appeal to your average viewer.
Currently 20/1.

5. Lesley - Comes across as a rather stern and aloof headmistress type. Again can't see who'll vote for her.
Currently 28/1 .

6. Carole - Seems to get involved in 'issues' to make up for the lack of a personality. Harmless enough, but I suspect the cheers on the way in (crowd probably just got bored of booing and fancied a change) is the main reason for her being made the early favourite. Now 2nd favourite and drifting.
Currently 12/1. I fully expect her to drift further.


So that leaves Chanelle, Nicky, Laura and Tracey.

The first two look normal enough and down to earth, but possibly too dull to win.
Think they'll both survive until towards the end and will be shorter prices than they are now

Currently Nicky is 18/1 and Chanelle 22/1

Which leaves Laura and Tracey as the only two possible winners from the initial entry.

Laura is chatty and friendly without being OTT. Even tempered and down to earth. On the tubby side..... certainly not your bimbo type who other women tend not to vote for and looks a worth a bet at around 8/1

Finally Tracey.
Though it initially seemed she would be incredibly OTT and annoying, she has calmed down considerable and seems to get on well with all the other HM's , but I suspect won't be scared to have ago at the annoying ones if she needs to. This will surely earn her brownie points with the viewers and she looks the stand out bet at around 16/1.
