Big Brother Betting Odds: Mario & Bex Up, Darnell To Win?

On Friday, Big Brother will either lose an odd-faced self-important shrieker with gigantic boobs, or Rebecca.

That’s because Mario is also up for eviction. Ha! Do you see what we did there? We are clever. But anyway, yes, it’s been announced that Mario and Rebecca have been nominated for Big Brother eviction, and for once we’re torn about who we want to go. Oh, can’t we just humanely gas them both?

We’ll come to the Big Brother eviction odds tomorrow, but for now we’d better finish up our weekly look at the Big Brother betting odds to win for Mikey, Rex, Luke, Darnell and Kat, with help from Paddy Power…

Mikey - As a blind man, Mikey naturally has several major advantages over his fellow Big Brother housemates. For starters he never has to see the disgusting spectacle of Lisa and Mario kissing each other with tongues, and also his disability is bound to garner lots of sympathy from the Big Brother viewers. Except it’s not - although Mikey was the early favourite to win Big Brother, now his chances are sinking faster than ever. Mikey seems to recognise this himself, which is why he’s started to do bizarre stunts like shaving his eyebrows off for no reason whatsoever in the hope that people will notice him. One advantage that Mikey does have, however, is that all the housemates are scared shitless of nominating him in case it makes them look like anti-blind bastards. Which they probably are, deep down. The bastards. Current Big Brother betting odds - 14/1

Rex - Look at that again. Rex is one of the favourites to win Big Brother. Arrogant, loaded, reality-deprived Rex. There must be some kind of mistake here. Sure, Rex survived a Big Brother eviction on Friday, but that’s not because he’s popular and charismatic - it’s because he’s not Jennifer. Robert Mugabe would have survived an eviction against Jennifer, for christ’s sake. However, you have to appreciate the irony - Rex seems so desperate to go home that he almost started crying when he wasn’t evicted last week, and the more depressed and frustrated he gets, the more people decide that he might win. Let’s hope that Rex has some kind of violent psychotic meltdown pretty soon, then - he’ll have the show in the bag. Current Big Brother betting odds - 10/1

Luke - How Luke manages to stay in the Big Brother betting odds top three is absolutely beyond us - the poor boy genuinely can’t do a thing right. Politically he’s aligning himself against Rex, Kat and Rachel - the three Big Brother housemates who are popular because they’ve got quite a lot of common sense - and romantically he’s sidling up to Rebecca. Rebecca! It’s just bizarre that someone who bitches and whines so often can still stand a chance of winning Big Brother. Maybe it’s his voice that everyone likes - Luke talks like a permanently startled character in a children’s novel, and they’ve historically always done very well in Big Brother. Current Big Brother betting odds - 15/2

Darnell - For a brief period of time last week Darnell was actually the favourite to win Big Brother. It’s no surprise, really - he’s consistently stood up for the little guy in a number of incidents, seems to have people’s best interests at heart for the most part and is just about disabled enough for it to be endearing. But Darnell needs to look out - lately he’s started to get a bit paranoid about power structures in the house and how well he might be doing with the viewers. Darnell’s easily excited, too, so there’s a very strong possibility that he might start unspooling all over the place in the next couple of weeks. Fingers crossed, anyway. Current Big Brother betting odds - 15/8

Kat - But however popular Darnell is, he’ll have a tough job trying to usurp Kat from her position at the top of the Big Brother betting odds. Her kooky, grinning, rainbow-coloured, cookie-fixated shtick is never going to get old, unless you’re one of the growing swathe of Big Brother housemates who she’s starting to infuriate, of course. Anyway, Kat’s no fool and she knows that she’s going to have to subvert the form a little to maintain her popularity - which is why, for a brief period last week, Kat decided to become a kooky, grinning, rainbow-coloured, cookie-fixated gonk with rubbish hair extensions. Genius. Current Big Brother betting odds - 7/4
