Just The Two Of Us is the latest TV celebrity talent show to hit our screens and – ear-bleeding theme-tune aside – it looks like it’s going to skew the world’s notion of television shows forever.
OK, maybe not. Just The Two Of Us is another run-of-the-mill singing programme that teams a professional singer up with a hopeless, honking mess of a TV ‘personality’ to blast their way through all kinds of bad songs in order to survive a public vote. And where there’s a public vote, there’s a dirty great betting opportunity. You’re already one step ahead of us here, aren’t you?
So – who’s going to end up winning Just The Two Of Us? We’ve got some early Just The Two Of Us betting odds right here, in association with SportingOdds.com…
Matt Allwright & Jocelyn Brown – The underdogs of Just The Two
Of Us, which we think is pretty odd. Matt Allwright – from Rogue Traders – played bass in a
Song For Europe band in 2002. They came last, but at least it shows
that the enthusiasm is there. And Jocelyn Brown has a monster of a
voice, even if she does look like Jabba The Hutt. We could be wrong, but these Just The Two Of Us odds don’t look
so bad to us. Their Just The Two Of Us rendition of I Got You Babe had the judges raving: "That was the most entertaining act so far." SCORE – 32 – Current Just The Two of Us betting odds – 12/1
Sian Reeves & Russell Watson – We’re slightly doubtful as to how
well Sian Reeves and Russell Watson will do at Just The Two Of Us,
because a) contestants have to sing in a variety of styles, and Russell
Watson is only able to shout at the top of his voice and then brag
about it like a big tit, and b) we haven’t got a flipping clue who Sian
Reeves is. She seems to be able to sing, though, and their Just The Two Of Us blast through I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You made the judges say: "You held your own very well… I think your going to go far in this competition." SCORE – 26 – Current Just The Two Of Us betting odds – 10/1
Nicky Campbell & Beverley Knight – Christ, Nicky Campbell is an
arsehole, isn’t he? He was rubbish on the radio, he’s rubbish on
Watchdog and he was a weird, shouty mess on Just The Two Of Us. A
shame, really, as we sort of like Beverley Knight a bit, even if she
only really does go "GRRRRR," instead of singing. Their performance was to I Knew You Were Waiting, which the Just The Two Of Us judges called: "A great performance to open the show." SCORE – 25 – Current Just The Two
Of Us betting odds – 13/2
Gaby Roslin & Martin Fry – We like it when a TV presenter
decides to become a serious actor, only to crawl back for a spot in a
dodgy reality TV like Just The Two Of Us show a few months later. And that’s exactly the case
with Gaby Roslin. Can she sing? A bit. Does she dress like a 16-year-old girl? Certainly. But Martin Fry – her
Just The Two Of Us partner – is a solid gold genius, and his brother
was in Earl Brutus. They sang Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, and the judges said: "Gaby you were obviously loving it, but watch it with the dancing." SCORE – 22 – Current Just The Two Of Us betting odds – 13/2
Fiona Bruce & Alexander O’Neil – Fiona Bruce is the box-headed,
nine-foot tall Crimewatch presenter with a singing voice like a teeny weeny mouse. Her Just The Two Of Us partner is 1980’s filthy sex dumpling Alexander O’Neil. He seems a little bit, erm, wayward, and we’d quite like to see him send Fiona off the rails. They sang Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You, and the Just The Two Of Us Judges told them: "I think you’ve got the tool box but not all the tools came out tonight." SCORE – 24 – Current Just The Two Of Us betting odds – 6/1
Penny Smith & Curtis Stigers – Penny Smith – the weirdly
dominatrix-like GMTV newsreader – and Curtis Stigers! Curtis Stigers!
What the hell is this all about? We’re starting to think that GMTV
breeds shittiness, after Fiona Phillips messed up Strictly Come Dancing
and that weathergirl messed up Dancing On Ice. Not even Curtis Stigers
parping into his saxophone could cover up Penny’s bad voice during When I Fall In Love, and the Just The Two Of Us judges pounced on her: "Penny, you didn’t carry the tune now, did you?" SCORE – 17 – Current
Just The Two Of Us betting odds – 9/2
Chris Fountain & Jo O’Meara – Chris Fountain plays Justin in
Hollyoaks, which means nothing to us since we haven’t seen Hollyoaks
since Jambo was in it. And Jo O’Meara was the one in S Club Seven who
could actually sing, and easily the most masculine. They both sang More Than Words, and the Just The Two Of Us judges said that: "There was a blip in the middle, but I look forward to hearing how you do tomorrow." SCORE – 26 – Current Just The Two Of Us betting odds – 7/2
Mark Moraghan & Natasha Hamilton – No idea who Mark Moraghan is,
but we hear he’s a fan of Steely Dan. We’re more interested in the
inclusion of Natasha Hamilton in Just The Two Of Us – the last Atomic
Kitten to do reality TV, after one of them did Celebrity Love Island
and the other one did I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Weirdly,
Natasha can actually sing, which shocked us a little bit. Their rendition of Kids had the Just The Two Of Us judges saying: "I’ve never liked that song… but the two Scousers gave it charm." SCORE – 26 – Current Just
The Two Of Us betting odds – 11/4

i would like mark and natasha to win because she was in my favourite girl group and he is the best actor in Holby city please vote for Mark and Natasha!!!!!!!
Tamasha says
I can’t believe that Sian and Russell won!! They absolutely SUCKED (as they have the entire competition) and Mark & Natasha were robbed. I can’t stand that oh-so-fragile, melodramatic Sian and her screeching voice and constant tears, but I guess she brought in the pity vote. What crap!
Pat Martin says
Who sang Crazy? Penny Smith or Fiona Bruce?
