The betting says Nathan is sure to leave, whether those giant eyebrows follow is another matter

"BB is pretty similar to a summer holiday for the combatants. Ten days is about right, two weeks and they're getting restless. Now, one month in, and they're all starting to slowly come apart at the seams."

As the mercury goes up, housemates' collective sanity goes down - Eliot Pollak provides us with an update on Big Brother 11

In yet another huge misjudgement from the British press, Shabby's decision to self-evict herself from the Big Brother house on Monday, failed to breach the front pages. Bloody gunman. Yet in the spirit of 'as the Lord giveth, so he taketh', the show has actually improved this week, just in time to fill that gaping World Cup void.

Tomorrow night's eviction is a showdown between John James and Nathan, after previous nominee Caoimhe unsurprisingly managed to ride a bucking bronco for a lengthy period of time. Plenty of practise one suspects.

Yet the markets are clear - Nathan is toast, trading as short as [1.06]. Time instead therefore, for a brief assessment of the housemates' mental health. Forget that annoying body language bint who stains our televisions at this time of year - this is real expertise.

BB is pretty similar to a summer holiday for the combatants. Ten days is about right, two weeks and they're getting restless. Now, one month in, and they're all starting to slowly come apart at the seams.

The biggest victims of meltdown have been Caoimhe, Nathan, Corin, and to a lesser degree, Steve.

Caoimhe has essentially committed BB suicide by throwing caution to the wind and playing some shots i.e. letting everyone know exactly what she thinks of them. It seems that Shabby leaving has left her feeling berieved, aggrieved and venomous. Voters might sympathise with her loss, but bitching is never tolerated. She also swears too much. How much is too much on Big Brother - ****ing loads. She is increasingly beginning to resemble a character in Bad Girls. Ah, the golden age of 9pm terrestrial television.

Corin and Steve were both victims of their own rage, when the bedroom was trashed earlier in the week. Corin in particular, has spent weeks burying her true colours under a gloriously brainless veneer, but at last the mask has slipped. Like Caoimhe, she wouldn't look out of place doing hard time. Both would look out of place doing hard work however.

Steve, sadly, has morphed into an angry soldier - specifically when Ben starts talking politics - and a hunch suggests that your average BB voter doesn't have much in common with the military. Bar perhaps a few pairs of garish combat trousers. The early front-runner, he continues to drift, and is now out to [12.0].
