Big Brother 10 Betting: Karly To Lose The War Of The Bitches

Big Brother 11 / Dan Fitch / 16 July 2009 / Leave a Comment

It's eviction time again and though Dan 'The Betting Man' Fitch believes that Noirin will provide stiff opposition, he still expects Karly to go.

He's gone from being barely tolerated, to Mr Popular. It's kind of the opposite journey that has been taken by Gordon Brown.

We are about to embark on the first Big Brother eviction of this series, sans-Freddie. What's more, Fred didn't even receive a single nomination from his housemates.

Up instead are Karly, Noirin, Siavash and Sophie. Hot favourite for the boot is Karly at [1.14], having become a fan of Freddie far too late in the game to save her bacon.

It's ironic that Karly has suddenly decided that she likes Freddie, just as she faces eviction for having slagged him off over the last six weeks, at every given opportunity.

Whilst I'm no fan of Karly, I 'dinnae ken' why she's such a short price, when there's Noirin for competition. I'd make Karly favourite to go, but still I'm surprised that she isn't a bigger price.

Noirin's behaviour is surely not endearing her to the female voters. All the women I know can't stand her, although admittedly this does only amount to my wife.

Having spent last week ignoring Marcus because he was coming on too strong, this week they've become friends again. Of course, being friends with Noirin means that she unfastens her bikini top so that you can paint all over her back. This act is not in the least bit erotic and in no way encourages Marcus to dip his brush into Noirin's paint pot.

Noirin is [7.8] to be evicted, despite having also been involved in a spat with the popular Siavash. The aftermath of this row saw Siavash ask to be put up for eviction by his housemates, with got him in trouble with Big Brother.

Siavash and fellow nomination-blabbermouth Sophie, were set the task of going the day without swearing, which to your average Big Brother contestant is a bit like being set a task where you can't breathe for the day.

Both failed, but are as safe as houses on Friday. Siavash is [80.0] to be evicted, with Sophie at [100.0]. Last week I mentioned that Sophie was a decent bet if Kris went and her price has fallen to [12.0] since her repulsive boyfriend's eviction. When her bitchy pal Karly goes on Friday, I'd expect her price to fall further.

With the eviction odds for the favourite, once again too short for all but those with very deep pockets, the best bet is in the vote percentage market. If like me, you feel that Noirin could pick up more votes than expected, 50% or under at [3.2] or 50.01% to 60% at [1.8] could be of interest.

Freddie at [3.15] and Siavash at [6.4] have both seen their prices rise this week, but only because it has been confirmed that there are new housemates coming. If none of the new bunch appear like a likely winner, their prices are likely to plummet.

Rodrigo and Charlie are both priced at [7.8]. Neither are unlikeable characters and have been hovering around that price for quite a while, as we wait to see if either one will actually do something that will mark them as a possible winner. We could be waiting some time.

Lisa is still persisting with her 'gameplan' of being the leader of all the people that the audience hate, despite its obvious flaws. She's now [130] to win and when she's sat smoking in the garden on her own next week, she may find the time to consider where it all went wrong.

It will be very interesting to see how the new housemates affect the group dynamic. They're bound to send in a bloke on a mission to test Sophie's affection for Kris and one to sniff round Noirin, to send Marcus mad.

Before the new housemates, we've been treated to some old ones, who've gone up against the current mob in a series of tasks. The likes of Craig from BB1, Nikki Grahame and that stalker bloke from Norwich, all had nothing better to do than to return to the house, which should put the current housemates' dreams of fame and fortune into perspective.

Shame they couldn't get the Slick V-I-C to come back though.
