Hell’s Kitchen Betting Odds: Anneka Rice To Win?

We never thought we'd say this, but Hell's Kitchen has got kind of entertaining; not because of Hell's Kitchen itself - if we wanted to watch idiots cook some food we'd go to our local Nando's - but because of everything around it.

Basically, we mean Jim Davidson. Although Monday's Hell's Kitchen only hinted at the awfulness he was capable of, last night we finally got to see Jim Davidson get kicked off Hell's Kitchen - and hopefully all British television - for good. And it was sweet to watch, except for the grain of sadness inside us that emerged when we realised that both Lee Ryan and Jim Davidson - the two Hell's Kitchen contestants we were looking forward to ripping into the most - had bottled it and buggered off Hell's Kitchen like a couple of girls. We'd cry, but not seeing them on telly each night sort of makes up for it.

Our Hell's Kitchen betting odds week continues with the latest betting odds for the two outsiders - Anneka Rice and Paul Young - with help from Paddy Power… 

Anneka Rice - For someone who has made a career out of being resourceful, Anneka Rice isn't half dim sometimes. We've already covered the way that Anneka Rice spends great big chunks of Hell's Kitchen staring into space like she's got post-traumatic stress disorder, but earlier this week her children visited Hell's Kitchen and we'll be buggered if she hasn't forgotten to take either of them to the hairdressers since 2002 either. Anyway, there's not much point discussing how Anneka Rice will do on Hell's Kitchen because the public seems to be getting rid of the older women first - and Anneka Rice is the oldest woman around at the moment now that Jim Davidson has left - so it stands to reason that she's not going to win Hell's Kitchen. Current Hell's Kitchen betting odds - 40/1

Paul Young - Paul Young seems to be Hell's Kitchen's resident amiable idiot. Happy enough to bumble along doing whatever he's told without getting in anybody's way, Paul Young's real trouble crops up when he's required to think for himself - be it improvising during Hell's Kitchen service or pointing out to Jim Davidson that calling Brian Dowling a shirtlifter isn't exactly the fastest way to make friends with people. However, there's probably an army of middle-aged housewives that'll do all they can to keep Paul Young in Hell's Kitchen in the hope that he'll suddenly serenade Marco Pierre White with a quick burst of Everytime You Go Away, even though there's probably a slightly bigger army of people eager for Marco Pierre White to throw a knife into Paul Young's windpipe if that happens. Current Hell's Kitchen betting odds - 28/1

Tomorrow - the Hell's Kitchen betting odds for Abigail Clancy and Adele Silva. 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 Hell's Kitchen betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.
