The love square, Stuart looks to have diminished any chance of a Jennifer/Dale relationship. The general public opinion was to approve of such a pairing but Jennifer made her stance clear when she said “Dale obviously has a bit of an infatuation going on, which is very sweet, but it’s never affected our friendship. We’re still good friends.”

Sylvia probably didn’t help matters when she expressed her feelings for Dale to Jennifer. As a result Stuart’s odds have drifted to 33/1 at Bluesq and 888sport and Sylvia is up for eviction tonight and as a result she’s 250/1. The bookies obviously feel she’s outstayed her welcome.

Still leading the winner’s board is Kathreya at 11/10 (general) and 6/5 her best price on Bluesq. In fact the pecking order in the top four seems to have remained the same over the past few weeks. But Dale has drifted to 25/1, next to Mario who I’m surprised to see is still around, most likely because of a certain amount of animosity expressed towards other house mates. Tonight’s eviction sees Sylvia at 1/33 against Mohammed’s 15/1.

Speculation as to the last four housemates shows Michael dropped to 10^th place at 2.5/1 on betfair and Rex displays some apparent popularity in 4^th with 1.24/1. Why not try some good value at 13/1 with Dennis Rodman….?

The big brother producers will be delighted by the turbulent start to series 9. Alexandra’s odds have already drifted to 200/1 on paddy power but I doubt she’ll be off for a while, the public seem to enjoy a bit of banter and she’s certainly the cause. Meanwhile, early favourite Kathreya has eclipsed the votes for Darnell and Mohammed at 3/1 on Betfred and Stanjames. I think Michael also has a good chance to win, the bookies have him marked just above Katheyra at 5/1 (general) which isn’t bad value considering the amount of people who’ve marked him down to be at the finish line.

As for next eviction, Mario seems to have captured the newspaper’s eye. Although a born schemer, he lacks notable intelligence hence landing himself in the public’s black books with his recent failed escapades. The bookies have him down as 2/5 (general). Steph, Mario’s co-conspirator has also landed herself in deep water, it seems her fraternizing didn’t do her any favours. William Hill has her at 7/4. Respect.

Top man – again Michael appears to have earned someone’s approval as the bookies chalk him in as the favourite to win this event. In the event of a personality failure the obvious choice seems to be Luke, but I would also keep an eye on Mohamed’s figures. Top Woman – at this stage I’d be unwilling to bet against Katheyra.
