Big Brother 11 / Dan Fitch / 01 September 2009 /

Everyone is up for eviction tonight, but Dan 'The Betting Man' Fitch thinks that there's only one person likely to go, after Lisa reverted to type.

Lisa, David, Charlie, Rodrigo, Sophie and Siavash. Is the most boring set of final six housemates, in Big Brother history?

You do wonder what the producers must have been thinking when they cast this deadwood, although I suppose when they decided to choose the 'punk' lesbian Lisa, who likes nothing better than to pull straight girls, they didn't expect her to spend three months doing nothing but smoke in the garden and slavishly follow the rules.

One of the sleepy six will be booted out in an eviction that has been billed as a 'surprise', but that in truth won't come as much of a shock to anyone with access to the Sky+ EPG or a fortnight old copy of the Radio Times.

The housemates were asked to cast their votes of Sunday and once again the subject of whether or not to nominate, was the main talking point.

When Charlie was asked to enter the diary room and give his vote, he refused to nominate, despite having had a massive argument with Siavash when he did the same thing only last week. A cynic would say that this might be because Siavash survived his eviction against Marcus and therefore Charlie figured that not voting might make him more popular with the public.

The housemates then started to debate whether anyone else would nominate. Siavash, Sophie and Rodrigo (equally hypocritical as Charlie) all decided that they would not and even Lisa was convinced to abstain.

Convincing David to break the rules was another matter though. First he agreed that he wouldn't vote and refused to nominate when asked, but when the pressure was put on him (ie. being asked again by Big Brother in a slightly more authoritative tone) David buckled.

David explained that the reason why he eventually voted was because he won't be told what to do, missing the irony of the fact that he always does the bidding of the various researchers at Endemol who pose as 'Big Brother'. His diary room performance was also funny because he was wearing dungarees, making him look like a perfect casting choice for Lenny from Of Mice and Men.

Lisa then changed her mind and voted, forcing Rodrigo to vote to ensure that she and David were up. When all votes were cast and automatic evictions for not voting were counted, it turned out that everyone was up.

The odds on favourite to go is Lisa at [1.16] after a Monday highlights show when she revealed her true colours. I've been of the mindset of late that I'd prefer Charlie to go before Lisa, but after her performance last night I'm not sure that I could stand to see the smug look on her face.

The only possible other contenders to go are David at [9.4] and Charlie at [15.0], but I'd be amazed if it isn't Lisa. Within this one show she managed to get in sly digs at Siavash and Sophie, as well as having full on rows with Charlie and Rodrigo.

In doing so she undid weeks of good work. For a while now Lisa has been staying in the background and not getting involved with disputes, but last night's show brought the memories of the Lisa from the first couple of weeks, flooding back.

Quite what David will do when she goes, I don't know. He completely worships Lisa and has isolated himself from the rest of the group. You'd think that even he would have the nous to be able to work out what Lisa is really like, when you consider that he had the advantage of watching the first few weeks of the show on telly.

In the winners market it now looks like a straight fight between Sophie at [2.1] and Siavash at [2.82], though I bet some backers were having kittens when they, along with Charlie and Rodrigo, started talking about walking out of the house.

Unfortunately they couldn't quite bring themselves to enter into obscurity quite this early in the week and decided against the plan, robbing the viewing public of a week spent watching Lisa and David smoking fags and talking about 'being themselves'.

Instead Lisa's bullying has finally caught up with her. What goes around come around and tonight is going to be scary stuff for Lisa as she faces her a nightmare on Elstree.

Freddie's fans are gonna get you.
