Big Brother UK Version
Jeffrey Scott:
I agree. But most of the people there have no chance of winning. I doubt Jennie, Aisleyne or Richard will win. Nikki, Glyn and Pete have a much better chance. There were people on the chanel4 forum saying that a betting company had closed bets on Aisleyne and she was going to win, but everyone in response to the message said he was just dreaming. I'll have to see if I can find the odds of the housemates winning.

Big Brother housemate Pete may not be allowed to appear on live TV shows because he suffers from Tourette's Syndrome.
He involuntarily shouts obscenities when he is nervous - and swearing isn't allowed on daytime television programmes.
TV schedules are being hastily moved around to accommodate the 24-year-old's disability, according to The Sun.
Dermot's Big Brother's Little Brother (BBLB) will be moved from its usual Sunday lunchtime position to an evening slot.
"Pete is set to win but even if he comes second or third he is going to be a vital part of any BBLB," a Channel 4 source told the paper.
"The decision has been taken to move BBLB to a prime-time slot so he can swear as much as he likes."
The Brighton comic will not be allowed to appear on live interviews for shows such as GMTV and Richard & Judy.
It is also reported Pete will sign up with John Noel Management - who already look after Davina McCall and Dermot O'Leary - and that they have a plan to deal with his swearing, such as pre-recording interviews.

BB punters keep piling on the cash

BB punters keep piling on the cash
More than £5 million has been gambled on this year's Big Brother, bookmakers Ladbrokes revealed.
The amount - across the whole of the bookmaking industry - means that more than £56,179 in wagers have been placed every 24 hours on the Channel 4 show, said the bookmaker.
Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said: "This series of Big Brother has smashed all records."
"Despite the outcry over a number of the show's stunts, punters have kept the faith," he added.
The favourite to win the series - now in its final week - is Tourette's sufferer Pete. His odds to win the show have slightly lengthened from 1/6 to 1/5.
Nikki - who caused an outcry by being voted back into the house last week - is proving not very popular with punters. Her odds have drifted from 12/1 to 20/1, as her relationship with Pete continues.
Mr Weinberg said: "Both Pete and Nikki seem to be suffering as a result of their lovey dovey antics. But Pete has got plenty to play with and is still the nailed on favourite. But Nikki's drifting like an unmanned barge. She could easily fall at the first hurdle."
The winner will be announced on Friday's final show.
The latest odds are Pete 1/5; Glyn 8/1; Nikki 20/1; Richard 66/1; any other winner 6/1.
Jeffrey Scott:
Sorry, additional thoughts on the last show. 50 percent was a tremendous reshowing of the live show, the other 50% was of Pete and Nikki canoodling, or spooning, or whatever it is they call it. Not my favorite episode. I actually fell asleep watching it.
Jeffrey Scott:
I'd love to find out why Bonnie was not able to come back. Davina said for legal reasons but I can't seem to find any article on what that might be. Also, what about Jonathan, the first guy evicted from the house next door? Was he not eligible?
