Big Brother Betting Odds 2007: One Of The Awful Twins To Win?

The first week of Big Brother is usually the worst; the Big Brother highlight shows are  all full of 12 idiots bellowing about themselves and you don't really know or care who anyone is yet - it's like being at a hecklerspray family wedding.

Slowly but surely, though, the characteristics of each Big Brother housemate are coming to the fore. So far we've worked out that this crop of Big Brother hopefuls include an awful old woman, another awful old woman, four awful young women who all look the same, a bunch more awful women, an awful man and a lovely fat Welsh girl. Call us us old fashioned, but that's just the way we like it. Don't forget to place a Big Brother bet while the show is still young, will you? Not only are the odds for each housemate much longer than they will be in a couple of months, but you can also get a free £10 bet at the moment. And if that won't sweeten the experience of spending 14 weeks watching people you really couldn't give a chuff about, we don't know what will.

Here's part two of this week's Big Brother betting odds to win - for Amanda, Sam, Chanelle, Tracey and Nicky - with help from Paddy Power…

Amanda & Sam - We should point out that Amanda and Sam aren't a two-for-one deal where you can vote them both out of Big Brother at once - although, frankly, we think they should be, because they get on our tits and we'd like to see the back of them. No, instead, we're profiling Amanda and Sam at the same time because we're buggered if we can tell them apart yet and we're too horrified to even try. Over the course of Big Brother thus far, we're pretty sure that Amanda & Sam have just excitedly howled the word "pink!" at each other in that impenetrable Stoke dolphinesque way they seem to do all the time, apart from when they did their breakdance routine, and that was so startlingly choreographed that one of our internal organs split open out of embarrassment. Honestly, imagine having to tell people that you're the parents of the twins from Big Brother. Actually imagine it. Current Big Brother betting odds - AMANDA: 25/1, SAM: 22/1

Chanelle - Chanelle seems to be fulfilling the Big Brother role of dull pretty girl rather well, we have to admit. Not only is Chanelle blandly pretty and extraordinarily dull but she has also admitted that her main goal in life is to get married to a footballer, become a professional WAG and write a column in a trashy magazine about necklaces or something. Her mother must be so proud. Apparently new Big Brother housemate Ziggy has admitted that he has a crush on Chanelle, which is good because if they do end up hooking up then at least they have a post-Big Brother career as fire-damaged supermarket own-brand David and Victoria Beckham lookalikes ahead of them. Current Big Brother betting odds - 18/1

Tracey - Poor old Tracey. She spent all of Thursday and Friday pining for a man to enter the Big Brother house so she could talk about something other than make-up and cushions, and then they send in a bloke who's about 30 times girlier than any of the women in the house. No wonder Tracey looks so depressed. Her needs are simple - all she wants to do is wave a glowstick about like an epileptic monkey for 48 hours straight and have the chance to talk to someone who overuses the word 'phat' as much as she does, and the Big Brother producers are denying her those very basic rights. Perhaps that's why Tracey isn't such a hot favourite to win Big Brother as she was. Or perhaps it's because she's a bit mangy-looking and everyone thinks she used to be a man. Who can really tell for sure. Current Big Brother betting odds - 16/1

Nicky - Nicky is starting to look like the sort of Big Brother housemate that we like the least - a well-rounded, multi-faceted character. Damn you for not picking another gonkish cartoon of a person, Big Brother producers! Now we actually have to pay attention to the things that Nicky does - things like appearing to be a hateful wanker in her entry tape and then not being that much of a hateful wanker in real life. Or still looking like a boring nonentity despite talking incessantly and starting a fight with Charley. Luckily we have faith in the Big Brother producers to reduce Nicky to a cartoon within days. Current Big Brother betting odds - 16/1
