Big Brother 2010 – Actually Quite Good… In A Way
Anyone who has ever endured the displeasure of listening to someone eulogising about a great TV show like The Wire or The Sopranos will know the score pretty well.
You just have to watch a few episodes, get used to it. Or to use the words of someone like Danny Dyer – you just need to break the tart in. Big Brother is the same. And like the aforementioned shows, you need to stick with it, and then stay stuck.
So, for the benefit of those people who have been too distracted by things like the World Cup, Andy Murray‘s thrilling Wimbledon ride, and going out with friends because it’s hot outside, here’s the general gist of what’s been going on…
Big Brother 11: This Year’s Bunch Of Staggering Nitwits
Hooray! Big Brother is back! Hooray! And because this is its final year, the launch show did its best to mimic the entire Big Brother decade.
It started out exciting. Then halfway through it threw in somebody who looked famous but wasn’t. And then it became so overwhelmingly tedious that we automatically wished pain on all of the housemates and briefly considered euthanising ourselves because we didn’t think it was ever going to end. The entire Big Brother experience, summed up in 90 minutes. Great work, Channel Four.
But who’s in the Big Brother house this year? Glad you asked – we’ve listed them after the jump. Honestly, the things we put ourselves through for you people…

Big Brother Betting Odds: Nicole Out, Lisa Engaged, Rex To Win?
Crikey, is Big Brother still on? It is? Why, that must mean we’re being punished for something. Sorry. A million times sorry.
Anyway, what’s happened on Big Brother this weekend? Nicole got evicted which is good, because it means that the most annoying woman on the television has automatically reverted back to Jeremy Kyle; and Lisa got engaged to Mario, which is bad because it meant that Mario was back on TV and we promised ourselves that we’d cut our eyes out if that ever happened again. Thank heavens for braille keyboards, eh?
So who’ll win Big Brother? Here are the Big Brother betting odds for Mohamed, Sara, Rex and Kat, with help from Paddy Power…
Big Brother Betting Odds: Mario Out, Belinda To Win?
The worst thing an evicted Big Brother housemate can do is quickly realise why the public voted them out and alter their personality accordingly.
That’s no fun. That’s not what we want at all. So thank heavens for Mario, who was evicted from Big Brother on Friday and steadfastly refused to understand that people dislike him for being a hopeless David Brent clone with zero self-awareness about what a prick he is. Mario, you truly are a hero. Don’t go changing. OK, maybe change a bit…
With Mario gone, who’ll win Big Brother? Here are the Big Brother betting odds to win for Belinda, Mohamed, Maysoon, Sara and Rebecca, with help from Paddy Power…
Big Brother Betting Odds: Mario Out Tonight, Please
Tonight, one more Big Brother housemate will be torn out of their comfortable environment and exposed to a world that now strongly dislikes them.
And for the first time this season, the Big Brother eviction is a two-horse race. Previously the likes of Sylvia and Jennifer have been so overwhelmingly unpopular that their eviction has been inevitable. But tonight? Nobody knows – both Rebecca and Mario stand an equal chance of being evicted. For once, both nominated housemates are equally knobbish.
So who’ll be evicted tonight? Here are the Big Brother betting odds for Mario, with help from Paddy Power…
Big Brother Betting Odds: Rebecca To Go Tomorrow?
As we’ve often said, the best way to judge a Big Brother housemate is to see how they react when they get nominated for eviction.
Take Mario and Rebecca, for example. They’re the Big Brother housemates nominated this week, and they both responded to the news in very different ways – Rebecca immediately thought back to all the bad things she’d done and assumed that she’d be evicted, while Mario passive-aggressively rounded on everyone. The moral of this story, we think, is that Mario is an arsehole.
So who goes tomorrow? Here are the Big Brother betting odds for Rebecca, with help from Paddy Power…
