I guess next year the clear winner will be whoever is in second place at the time of the final.

I don't think they intentionally ranked Mikey the obvious winner to get money. It was so close and it easily could have backfired.

The top 4 were just way too close to call at all. So the bookies were not at fault for the odds. People were stupid for betting the way they were in a four way
race.
Rex was 2.5% off from a quarter of the votes 4 ways. Sara was off 3% from a third 3 ways. Rachel edged out Mikey with the final hour of voting with 1% difference from him. |

I was just thinking when the final betting odds were released "I would bet money on Rachel." Just because it was like... bet one paycheck, get 4
paychecks back! For Mikey you'd have to bet 5 to get 6 back. You need a lotta money to be confident.
Anyways, unlike last year where I felt that the bookies COMPLETELY fixed the odds to make more people lose money by betting on Samanda when everybody knew Brian would win, I actually feel that everybody thought that Mikey really would take the win. It was a close vote anyways. |

Well, my gut instinct in this case was right! More people were voting for him than I thought, but I just knew he couldnt possibly be a runaway winner. The one
hour break when all the b-block supporters could just vote for Rachel definitely won it for her. Had it been Sara vs Mikey, it probably wouldnt have worked out
the same.

I'd like to know where they've got Terry's odds from, he got pretty badly booed if I recall...

the bookies had KAT winning for most of last season, and then MIKEY to win after she was evicted
they have NO credibility |

I'm disgusted by that top five, apart from Terry, who seems okay.

they have NO credibilityBookies odds aren't spoilers, but they're totally credible - if the vote to win had been earlier in the season, Kat would have won and Mikey still had a good amount of support. The only real WTF betting odds came from Celebrity Hijack because hardly anyone was watching since it wasn't on Channel 4. |

Verne is like Pete from BB7. Obvious winner. But unlike Pete, Verne is unstable and I can see him getting axed or leaving before the end. If he sticks the 3 weeks, he is going to win by a landslide like Nadia. |

04/12/08:
Verne - 11/8 Coolio - 5/1 Ben - 11/2 Terry - 6/1 Tina - 12/1 Ulrika - 12/1 La Toya - 14/1 Michelle - 20/1 Lucy - 20/1 Mutya - 28/1 Tommy 33/1 I for one don't understand why Mutya is so low. I don't know if it was just because she lied up and down she wasn't going in, or if it's just too late for her. I think had she done it a year ago.. she would have been up at the top. |

Predictable... the men & the fat girl are highest.

Mutya is the Ian of this series. In the background, interesting to a point but never in the mix of things and then becomes a bit bland, perhaps making it to
finale night and being the first or second out.
Sad and I agree if she had done it earlier perhaps she'd place higher. I think it would have been interesting to see her in Shilpa's season being asian and all. I like Mutya don't know why the public isn't feeling her to some extent, she isn't horrid or anything. |

Mutya is probably a lock for the finals and will get 4th or something.
