Big Brother Betting Odds: Housemates Go Time-Travelling, Ziggy To Win?

This season of Big Brother has had some genuinely good tasks - the Big Brother Fake Week, BBTV, Big Brother's birthday party - but this week the Big Brother housemates are going back in time, and that's a bit of a crap task.

There doesn't really seem to be an over-riding theme to Big Brother's time-travel task, other than getting the housemates to wear stupid clothes and forcing them to clean a pile of shoes, but maybe there's a big twist at the end that will put it all in context, like it'll skip ten years into the future to when Channel 4 announces that Big Brother was just a cruel practical joke, or back a few years to when Davina McCall looked like she was enjoying herself. Oh, and Sam and Amanda might be being counted as one Big Brother housemate from now on, but they might not. We'll know for sure next week.

But, amidst all this time-travelling revelry, who's going to win Big Brother? Here are the Big Brother betting odds to win - for Ziggy, Gerry and Sam - with help from Paddy Power…

Ziggy - We scared ourselves last week. Last week, when Ziggy volunteered himself to go and live in the Big Brother halfway house - for the five seconds that it actually looked like he'd be nominated for eviction - we were actually sorry to see Ziggy go. Ziggy had a hard week last week, you see - he had a fight with Chanelle, Chanelle left, Chanelle came back, he had another fight with Chanelle, Chanelle left again, and then he had to go and live in a Big Brother annex with a handful of tossers for a few days. To be evicted after volunteering to be moved into the Big Brother halfway house didn't seem like a fair way for Ziggy to go, we thought. However, that's mostly because the only fair way we think that Ziggy should be evicted from the Big Brother house is for him to be smashed against a wall and then picked apart by buzzards, the leathery-faced shitbag. Current Big Brother betting odds - 40/1

Gerry - We're still finding it hard to believe that Gerry is still languishing in the Big Brother betting odds mid-league doldrums, since he appears to be doing all he can to shawshank his way right to the very bottom. It's the constant level of explosive self-regard the man has for himself that does it for us - tell Gerry anything at all and nine times out of ten he'll somehow assume that he'll have played an important role in it. Gerry threw a wobbly because he didn't get to share his vast Bronze Age knowledge with the Australian Big Brother housemates, Gerry threw a wobbly because Ziggy kicked an inflatable globe over the Big Brother fence before he got to share his vast geographic knowledge with Sam and Amanda and you can guarantee that whenever the Big Brother nominations are announced, Gerry will call out his own name like some sort of attention-seeking nimrod. Fingers crossed that this week he's right. Current Big Brother betting odds - 28/1

Sam - This has been a big week for Sam, Big Brother betting odds-wise. For weeks Sam has been scraping the depths of the betting odds for no other reason than that her eyes are slightly too far apart and she's put on a bit of weight. But this week - bam - Sam is back in the top half of the Big Brother betting odds with a bullet. And God knows why, because Sam has done just as little as usual lately, with the possible exception of hugging overweight Welsh strippers a bit more. And, by Christ, if that was an attribute needed to win Big Brother then we'd have won it for the last eight years running. As the least popular of the Big Brother twins, though, Sam still doesn't have much hope of winning Big Brother. Unless Amanda dies suddenly of course. And we can't rule that out - at the rate her girth is expanding, we wouldn't be surprised if Sam eats her before long. Current Big Brother betting odds - 25/1
