The Twist Explained (sort of)

So David and Kara have moved into the main Bog Brother House and Ziggy in a courageous and selfless act ( no sarcasm, honest) moved the other way.

So what happens next. Well the following makes it slightly clearer. Big Brother gathered the HM's on the sofas this afternoon and announced -


"This is Big Brother.
Housemates and Halfway Housemates listen very, very carefully.
This week some difficult decisions will be made.
The consequences of these decisions will be good for some of you and bad for others. "

"This week, there will be 2 more opportunities for Halfway Housemates to win full Housemate status and move into the Main Big Brother House.There is also a chance that some Housemates will move the other way and become Halfway Housemates.In two days time, everyone living in the Halfway House will face the public vote."

As we leave the shocked housemates realising that nobody's position is safe, stay tuned for further details...



So that's a little clearer then.
From a betting point of view it seems the public will have the final say, so the favourites are all safe. So like most twists, all rather tame and pointless.

Anyway, here's details of the first task.

Enjoy!

Chanelle Has Left The House (Atlast)

After leaving three times yesterday and the returning she has atlast left the building.
Just stayed long enough for all those who backed no Walkout last week on Betfair to make a tidy profit.

Full details here ...not of all the winners on the walkout market. Don't panic..lol

Wow! What a Twist!

This could really shake the market up if true.

So atleast two of the new entrants will become full Housemates, probably more. Plus the danger of losing a couple of the current ones. Possibly one of the favourites.

Tonight's Five New Entrants

Yes, only 5 now going in to the Big Brother House tonight. One's dropped out apparently.....but according to a press release these are the five -


DAVID PARNABY, 25, from Ayr Store manager David is an "open-minded practising pagan". His first love is nature and his second is fashion. He wants to win.

SHANESSA REILLY, 27, from Cardiff. Part-time care assistant Shanessa calls her daughter "mini-me" and says her dream job would be to work as a bunny girl at the Playboy mansion. Spends £600 a month on hair extensions. Will be nominated because "they think I'm a slapper or stupid".

KARA-LOUISE HORNE, 22, from Harrow Student Kara-Louise claims she's "extremely gorgeous and exceedingly bright". A pal thinks she looks like Mariah Carey "only much fitter". Privately-educated, has issues with "common people". Wants to work in PR.

JONTY STERN, 36, from London. Vegetarian museum assistant Jonty collects teddy bears (he has 50) and old coins. Read welsh studies at uni. Ran the Doctor Who Society. Speaks Welsh, French, German, Yiddish, Hebrew, Albanian and Cornish.

AMY ALEXANDRA, 21, from: Lincolnshire Amy is a glamour model and ex-shelf-stacker who idolises Jordan. Has two horses, Velvet and Arken. She wants to be on Big Brother to make a name for herself. Teetotal

The 2 blokes look interesting and some nice eye candy for the guys and the tabloids.

Charley & Tracey Up For Eviction

So Charleys time is up, unfortunately. I'll miss her....but I'm obviously in a minority.

The ferrets "prediction" (she's never been wrong before) ...here

6th Eviction.

Just a quick word on the next Big Brother Eviction. Only 4 hours or so to go before betfair close their market and if I'm honest I suspect Charleys time is up this week.
There have been rumours of a positive vote which could save her, but if it's the usual vote to evict and she's up then she's gone.
So will Charley be up. Almost certainly.
If she's not and it's a big IF, then with all the polls showing Ziggy as the 2nd least liked Housemate and him looking likely to be up, then at around 25/1 and higher on betfair he looks a pretty good outside bet.

Latest Ramblings of a Madman

...with a special appearance from someone called five leaves. Not sure who he is, but he certainly looks very familiar.



As mad as Betfair/I Da Boss is, I have to agree with the general thrust of his video. Not thrust in any pervy sense of the word, but that Brian looks all over the winner at the moment, Chanelle has little chance and Charley has become one of the greatest Big Brother Housemates ever.
I wouldn't write her off just yet in the Top Female Market. If she can somehow avoid being up for the public vote and sneak into the final, she should get more positive votes than any of the other female Housemates.

Just a quick hello to my great friend Dr E and her long time companion Dr Dud. I'm not sure whether Dud knows this five leaves character. I very much doubt it. He looks like total riff raff to me. Thought his impressions were rather good though.

On the subject of talent, or lack of it, please feel free to cast your votes in my latest poll.

Nicky v Gerry

The ferret has spoken and these are the two up for Eviction. Link here.

The early polls have Nicky 75%, Gerry 25%.
So it looks like Nicky will be going barring a miracle.

5th Eviction.

The Housemates are nominated now for next weeks Big Brother Eviction.
The big question is can Charley manage to escape again. Well she's played a blinder from what I've seen since her fake eviction last Friday.
The crowd were apparently all holding up big pictures of her and banners with "We Love You Charley". I must have missed this, but luckily most of the Housemates appear to have bought in to her blatant spinning of events. A job with New Labour could await her when she eventually emerges from the house, but hopefully not for a few weeks yet.
My main bet this week is Chanelle at around 20/1 on betfair
There are plenty of likely nominators. Charley, Nicky, Tracey and Carole being the main candidates, with Brian and Liam less likely but still possible. Surely the Housmates must have become bored by now of her tiresome on, off, on , off, on, off 'relationship' with Ziggy. As a viewer I certainly have.
I also feel Ziggy and especially Gerry have a good chance of being up, but at the price Chanelle looks the best bet.

My Early Tip For X-Factor

A great tribute to a great Big Brother Housemate.

It's Charley v Nicky

According to Nikki T on DS these two will go head to head in the fake eviction. Link here
She's be bang on the last couple of weeks with her 'predictions'

Charley is up in the one week she can't go...LOL

Unfortunately no payday this week :(

The 5th / Fake Eviction.

Not sure whether this week is a tribute to the wonderful Aisleyne from BB7 (Not a hint of sarcasm, honest), but as I'm sure everyone knows, this is fake week.
We have a fake Housemate in 'Pauline' ( video below) and a fake eviction on Friday.
'Pauline' may look rather cute, but she ain't going to make us any money, so let's move swiftly onto the Eviction.
Whoever's chosen by the public to be 'evicted' will have the usual interview with Davina only to return to the House immediately afterwards to face the remaining inmates who have watched the whole thing on the plasma screen.
Could it be Charley at last. Quite possibly, but as Laura (cheers) said on BBLB she's slagged off every other HM to their faces, so it wouldn't make great TV to see her do it all again in her interview with Davina.
What would make good TV is to see Ziggy being interrogated by Davina ( Not a hint of sarcasm, honest) about his 'relationship' with Chanelle.
So could he receive enough nominations to be up for the public vote. Well Tracey and Nicky nominated him last week and look likely to again. Other possible nominators are Charley, Brian and maybe Liam.
3 or 4 votes would probably be enough.
Betfair unfortunately don't have a market up this week (ridiculous decision), but Paddy Power have eventually put up a market and Ziggy is currently at 20/1
Be warned though. They only allowed me the grand total of £13.48 (ridiculous decision), but better than nothing, I guess.
I've also had a little bet on Gerry at 66/1. Can't be arsed to give full reasons except to say he has a reasonable chance of getting enough nominations (same candidates as for Ziggy) and is sure to give good interview, which will please Endemol.

Is This Tonight's Mystery Woman?

The latest rumour is that the mystery woman will be Thaila Zucchi who played 'The Bunny Boiler' in the Channel 4 Comedy series 'Balls of Steel'

Could be a load of balls, but here she is anyway -





Could be fun.

New 'Female' HM going in Tonight.

According to the furry fellow (though I've been told it could be woman. How do you sex a ferret?) there's a new female HM going into the Big Brother House tonight, though she's not all she seems.
Interesting.
Tracey's more masculine sister maybe. Who knows, but the show certainly needs some new blood

Laura and Chanelle Up for Eviction

All the signs are that it's Laura v Chanelle up for eviction this week. From two good forum sources and special bets have already started a new poll claiming they are up. Though I'm not sure how good a source they are after the Aisleyne fiasco last year.

It's looking good for anyone who took the 20/1

4th Eviction. Laura Looks the Value

Having been installed as the early favourite. The Welsh Nanny, who seems to rarely move from her Big Brother bed is now one of the rank outsiders to win.....and at around 20/1 looks the value bet for this weeks eviction.
The question is will she be up. Well Carole votes for every week, so we know she has one vote.
As for the others I reckon Brian, Liam, Jonathan,Gerry, Ziggy and Chanelle are all possible nominators of Laura.
The other question is will Charley be up, because if she is then she goes. Except in the unlikely event that it's changed to a vote to SAVE.
So who will vote for her. Ziggy and Chanelle look certain to, but there's no other cast iron votes for her.....and as she's odds on to go, it might be worth the gamble to oppose her once again.

So at around 20/1 or better, Laura looks worth a bet.

Be warned that the market will close at 11.59pm tonight, to stop any 'insiders' betting after the nominations have taken place....and will not open again until after the nominations are announced on BBLB at 7.30pm on Tuesday.

Just found out that Paddy Power now have a market up. Not sure how long it will be up. Hopefully a little longer than Betfair. Laura is 20/1 .....link here
