Isn't it weird, one minute you want her out - the next you want her back? Suddenly, without Alex, everyone is getting on. Rubbish!
 
At 12.40 this morning, everyone bar Mr & Mrs Boring Old Fart, were sitting at the kitchen table talking about their families.

They were playing a guess-the-amount-of-siblings game, which made paint drying an interesting prospect.

And Mohamed's insistence on recreating the Family Fortunes wrong-answer buzzer was as annoying as Teletubby Kat's constant mystified look.
 
Then they ramped the game up. "Where do we all live," someone piped up. And it turns out Mikey lives live 30 miles from Glasgow, while Rachel is from somewhere in Wales.

Relax, the vile Alex has left the building. She’s gone and better off forgotten, to be honest.

She had been favourite with Paddy Power to go first this Friday, but now there will be no vote eviction at all. But there is a downside to that…

Alex being hauled out for being continually offensive to her fellow housemates means the fake Italian slimeball Mario (really called Shaun) looks safe for another week.

But, hang on, there is hope. Paddy Power are offering odds of 5/4 that Mario is the next to go. And that’s a day I really can’t wait for.

Mohamed is “massively confused” apparently, according to Alexandra.

Well, let me tell you Alex, no-one else is. You’re going on Friday and it’s about time too! Click here to find out Paddy Power’s odds.

She is unbelievable. While admitting that, yes, she has been smoking and drinking in the house, Alex insists she is a strict Muslim.

Not so bad, we admit. However, she still has the nerve to then berate Mohamed for “cross dressing” (her words). While considering the fact that she would be offended about someone else dipping their fingers into a cookie jar and taking a bigger portion than she deemed fit, then I think that about takes the biscuit…

Outrageously two-faced Alexandra’s time in the house must be up.

Surely it’s all over for the whining cow. Let’s get rid as soon as she’s up for eviction. But hang on, Paddy Power thinks she might walk (4/1).

Now wouldn’t that be a bonus. We could get rid of Mario too then.

These two need to go as soon as possible. They are beyond entertaining now.

They have become galling to watch. Alexandra’s outburst about housemates talking behind other housemates’ backs highlighted her obvious insanity, while Mario has reached all-time record-breaking levels of creepiness this week.

Watching him sitting in the bath with his products and his anti-trophy wife exfoliating was quite disgusting. Not for the first time this series, that man made me feel ill.

“The lines are closed. The votes have been verified. And I can now reveal that the first person to be evicted from the Big Brother house is… Stephanie!”

And with that went my chance of making any money out of Paddy Power this week!

I had my lolly on creepy Mario and his plastic wife Lisa. Surely that was a banker of a bet? But no - the voting public thought otherwise and ousted pretty young thing Steph, the only one to really stand up to the gruesome twosome and their childish bullying.

Apart from those two sad acts, she was probably the only one who expected her name to be called by Davina, too. The faces of the others told that story quite clearly.

Here we go - it’s the first eviction night and one of the Wedding Task four will get kicked out of the Big Brother house.

Paddy Power think it’s going to be Mario (1-3). In fact, they are so sure, you can already place bets on such things as what he is going to do after leaving the house, how many times he’ll mention girlfriend Lisa in his eviction speech, and who he will say he wants to win. Unsurprisingly, Lisa is the favourite for that.

Give me a break, in fact, we wish it was Lisa leaving tonight. And at 25-1, I’m putting a shiny pound on such an outcome – in hope rather than expectation, admittedly.

Steph is 2-1 and Luke an outsider at 66-1.

Paddy Power reckon there’s a good chance that Steph (2-1) could be climbing the Big Brother stairs out of the house tomorrow.

It’s between her and favourite Mario (1/3), with his man-like girlfriend Lisa an outsider at 18-1 and northern salt-of-the-earth talent show host Luke safe as house. Mind you, that’s not saying much in this current climate?

I’m in two minds over Steph at the moment. One minute I can’t stand her sulky, open-mouth, incredulous face, the next I watch bewildered as she stands up to bully Alex while others around back off and shy away from confrontation.

Paddy Power think Mario (4-9) will be the first to get kicked out of the big Brother house this Friday.

But his annoying girlfriend Lisa could be worth a bet to be the first one to be evicted from the Big Brother house at odds of 18-1.

Her Nine-And-A-Half Weeks performance with her chunky monkey boyfriend in the diary room sealed it for me. I felt quite sick watching her shove those strawberries into his big fat gob. She covered him in cream and chocolate, but not herself in glory.

I’m afraid for poor, old blind Scot Mikey!

Seriously, how the hell’s he going to survive in the Big Brother house without his trusty guide dog Mario? Surely he’s gonna be crashing round the place, banging into things and crying a lot?

Mario, of course, is up for eviction - and Paddy Power have him at 2/1 and their second favourite to get the chop after Steph, his fake wife. So it seems Mario’s carefully thought out strategy of leading the blind guy around hasn’t had the effect he so desired. It hasn’t made him look like Mr Caring at all. Just a bit of a cock.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more blindingly obvious and see-through ploy to win votes. The Sun, bless their corporate socks, called “Beefcake” Mario, a “big bully” yesterday, while I prefer “twat”.

Yes, everyone’s favourite show to hate is back.

There’s no middle ground here. You either love Big Brother or you hate it. And I am very firmly in the ‘love it’ camp. But then, I like Marmite too.

There are 16 housemates this time. And, as always, it’s taken me a day or two to get my head around them. Always, there are those who spring out like puppies at a rescue home, while there are also those who sit at the back of the kennel shaking and waiting for a kindly soul to take pity on them.

Well, here are the Big Brother betting odds for all six million new housemates to win, with help from Paddy Power.
