Ife waves hello to the cameras and now the time has come to wave goodbye

"Ife is just plain boring, and being boring is rarely enough to induce voters to kick her out. Eviction rival Corin is more the kind of Marmite character who will make people lift digits to mobiles."

Anodyne Ife needed to be a bit more Marmite to chime with viewers but it's too late now, says Eliot Pollak. Meanwhile you should keep an eye on newcomers Rachel and Andrew

Poor, old tabloids. The World Cup all over and put to bed. But yet, hope springs eternal. Just as they bid, 'Farewell, see you at Comic Relief' to Africa, along came something else to fill their pages - a storming 'Battle of the Babes' eviction set for Friday night's Big Brother. Salvation.

But then Caoimhe went and ruined it all - winning the duelling task and instead throwing non-babe Mario to the wolves, or Big Brother viewers as they are more commonly known. Yet the ex-mole should be safe - the battle is between Ife and Corin, with Linford Christie's cousin all set to go on the B of the Bang come Friday night, priced at [1.31].

Corin has had an awful week. Anointed by many as, 'the new Jade Goody' just days ago, the lady with the face (but not the body) of a female body builder has now turned into a woman possessed, ranting and raving like the lunatic bint in the pub on the corner of your local council estate. New Jade Goody crown now secure one suspects. Her hopes of winning lay in being 'stupid but sweet'; now she's lost the 'but sweet' part.

But according to the markets, this still won't be enough to see off the iffy Ife. From a psephological point of view, it makes sense. Ife is just plain boring, and being boring is rarely enough to induce voters to kick her out. Corin is more the kind of Marmite character who will make people lift digits to mobiles.

In the winners markets, Steve continues to drift. His disadvantage should serve as an advantage, but in truth, being legless the whole time is nothing new in BB, and crucially, he lacks the necessary sweet-nature that the afflicted require in order to win votes.
The top three in the betting remain Josie, John James and Ben. The first two will stay in as long as they remain romantically entangled, whilst Ben brings comedy to the house. Even when he's angry, he gets angry gracefully.

Three newbies have also now entered the house. Keeley might as well sod off, but keep a very keen eye on the other two (Rachel and Andrew) - both could be potential winners. As a shy nerdy teenager, Andrew is full of "journey" potential, and not since Jack Kerouac, has anybody loved an epic journey as much as a BB viewer.
