This is Corin, those are the hands
"If you do like an outsider however, consider new boy Sam, priced at [17.0]. He is definitely worth keeping an eye on."
The Big Brother watchers love a bit of lurve, and Corin has served it up to them to take a leading hand in the race to win BB11
Not since Ricky Ponting told Mark Nicholas "we'll have a bowl Mark", on the opening morning of that second test in Edgbaston, has a toss been more important. Not until now that is. With the antics between Corin and JJ this week, the betting markets have been up and down more often than the former's knickers. And that is saying something.
But we must start where we always begin - with the impending Friday night eviction. Dave is safe, priced at [13.0], and although JJ has blotted his copybook (not to mention his sheets) this week, he too should survive.
Rachel won't however, and is available at [1.25] to drop the shoulder. The housemates in this season's BB, even have brutally irritating voices - Rachel's happens to be of the awful cough-hack-sniff Scouse variety. Funnily enough, with a different accent, she might have been fine. Sweet natured and semi-hot - she ticks similar boxes to a previous Rachel (Rice), who went on to win Series 9.
Andrew will feel the fallout the most if Rachel goes. He has become a more peripheral character since Josie stopped mock-flirting with him, and Rachel was his only real option in terms of a 'romantic journey'. Unless he gets torn apart by The Cougar, he doesn't really stand a chance. Nerds need to undergo a kind of 'cool' makeover to become BB heroes, and without a woman, he ain't going to be getting one in time. At [36.0], lay him - after all, nobody else is going to.
If you do like an outsider however, consider new boy Sam, priced at [17.0]. He is definitely worth keeping an eye on. A horrible little toad for the most part, the lad is also quite funny, and should he be able to discover a softer touch, could shock everyone by reaching the final week.
And so to the top three, the triumvirate who have dominated the winners market for the past few weeks. Josie has drifted, now out to [7.0]. But that does mean if you are going to bet on Josie, the value is now. This week's events could propel her back into contention, depending on how she plays it all.
JJ remains solid at [5.5], whilst Corin's price has only shortened, now just above evens at [2.14]. Which only goes to show - the British public really do still love a tosser.
