We used to enjoyed it when Celebrity Big Brother housemates escaped; especially when it was Jack Dee – who escaped, ran out onto the streets of London, realised he had no money and went back to the Celebrity Big Brother house again.
This year's Celebrity Big Brother has suffered from housemate escapee overkill, and it to say it was hurting the show would be a huge understatement. Without the drunken belligerence of Donny Tourette, the eccentric genius of Ken Russell or the supremely deluded twattery of Leo Sayer to bask in, all that's left in the Celebrity Big Brother house are a bunch of pikeys complaining about the way a millionaire cooks chicken. Yesterday on Celebrity Big Brother the housemates sort of played a rubbish version of Run The Risk. And that's about it.
But, hey, who's going to win Celebrity Big Brother this year? Here comes the second part of our Celebrity Big Brother betting odds to win for Ian Watkins, Jade Goody, Shilpa Shetty, Cleo Rocos and Dirk Benedict, with help from Paddy Power…
Ian Watkins – There's a marked difference between H From Steps – the phenomenally irritating former member of a pointless pop band – and the Ian Watkins that we can see on Celebrity Big Brother. For instance, the H apparently stood for 'Hyperactive' in his old music days – now we understand that it could equally stand for 'Hairpiece' – and H would have bounded about the Celebrity Big Brother House like an even more annoying version of Leo Sayer. Ian Watkins, on the other hand, mooches around quietly sucking up to those more famous than he is and making boats out of milk cartons. That's hardly the behaviour of a potential Celebrity Big Brother contestant, is it? As exasperating as H From Steps was, we'd infinitely prefer him to boring old Ian Watkins, whose Celebrity Big Brother best bits package could well be used to knock delinquent teenagers into an unconscious stupor. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 15/2
Jade Goody – When Jade's mum Jackiey Budden was evicted from Celebrity Big Brother last week, Jade chose to react as if Jackiey had been hacked to pieces by a mental with a samurai sword right in front of her eyes. She hadn't, of course – she went on a few TV shows and is now living in a form of luxury that the remaining Celebrity Big Brother housemates would kill for – but that sums Jade up in a nutshell. Even though she's a Big Brother veteran, Jade Goody still has a weird propensity for making mountains out of wormhills. She shrieks and wails about every tiny thing that gets in her way, vindictively making enemies out of anyone who she thinks has wronged her – all expect the one person who genuinely did wrong her; her teenage boyfriend who spuffed all over her semi-awake legs the other night. All in all, that means that Jade's Celebrity Big Brother stock isn't as high as it probably once was. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 5/1
Shilpa Shetty – It's hard to think of a Celebrity Big Brother contestant that has polarised viewers more than Shilpa Shetty – or at least would have polarised viewers more had this series of Celebrity Big Brother not have been so interminably snoozeworthy. People can't seem to make their minds up as to whether Shilpa Shetty is a manipulative control freak or the trembling victim of The Evil Goodys. Jade will happily turn on Shilpa for no good reason whatsoever, Jack thinks Shilpa's a "cunt" and Danielle (a Goody by proxy) will have a weepy incoherent argument with Shilpa because Danielle isn't completely sure how the English language works. However, judging by these betting odds, Shilpa Shetty has the majority of public opinion on her side. Now, if Shilpa would only do something in the Celebrity Big Brother house that didn't involve acting all put-upon or being somewhat snippy, we'd see her as a Celebrity Big Brother finalist. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 4/1
Dirk Benedict – Dirk Benedict keeps flitting backwards and forwards between first and second place in these Celebrity Big Brother betting odds, and for good reason. Although Dirk has a wealth of public support behind him thanks to him being an undeniably good person, the constant voice of common sense in the Celebrity Big Brother house and the one who kicked all kinds of ass in The A Team, his fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemates see him as something else. After Dirk hilariously enraged Jade Goody by pouring some whiskey down the drain ("Vat's not raaat! Vat's paffetik!" Jade raged) he's become something of a black sheep in the Celebrity Big Brother house. This means one thing – Dirk is in line for all kinds of nominations. It'll be a test of love to see how long the public can keep Dirk in Celebrity Big Brother; well, a test of love and a test of how much people want to further enrage Jade Goody. A lot, we hope. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 3/1
Cleo Rocos – We always had the suspicion that Cleo 'I'm just a happy unfinished doodle on God's telephone pad' Rocos was a bit of a loony – nobody who ever thinks they're as constantly happy as she does can be genuinely all there – and that was confirmed with the Celebrity Big Brother departure of Jackiey Budden. Cleo burst into tears, said she felt like she'd been shot and then called Jackiey "the most important person we've ever met in our lives," even though we all know she was an angry, illiterate one-armed lesbian and not a lot else. Luckily for Cleo Rocos, she's a nice, well-meaning loony that the public seems to want to win Celebrity Big Brother, and hopefully it'll lead to Cleo getting the obligatory post-Celebrity Big Brother E4 spin-off show, like Princess Nikki, but with all the amusing histrionics replaced with bone-crushing niceties. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 11/4
Tomorrow – why, even more Celebrity Big Brother betting odds, of course. But if that's too long to wait – or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with – head right over to the Paddy Power Celebrity Big Brother betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.

I can’t make my mind up if Jade and Danielle are being genuinely racist to Shilpa or not. I hope they are – but only because it’d kill their chances of ever being famous again
