Chickendinner have got bad news for Biggins...

It's the last day in the jungle, and the funnel webs and monitor lizards are looking forward to killing things in peace again. Amazingly, given her unique mental configuration, Janice is in the last three. After at first looking like a woman who could barely get through the first hour of the day without an entourage of assistants, she has shown a quite formidable tough streak in handling the privations of the forest and the nasty side of otherwise nice people, as this week has been one long gang-up-on-Janice session. Big mistake.

Underdog status goes a long way on reality shows, and when the scholars come to study what motivates people to waste good money on an expensive phone vote, the solidarity call has got to be a common impulse. Biggins is a runaway favourite [1.38] to win and Jason Brown is just making up the numbers [26.0 to win], but it's really hard to ignore Janice's claims on the crown [3.6 to win].

Big Brother this year was won by the second favourite - Brian - because the predominantly female voting public couldn't bring themselves to vote for the dippy twins. For all his likeability, Biggins is not the biggest personality in the jungle, and women have responded strongly to Janice's fighting talk. Chicken dinner is not in the tipping business, but for anyone who cares, the dinner is Janice all the way.
