I believe there is a very good chance Marcus will go.

I know the various polls point against this. But I've been watching them closely and believe what they seem to show is invalid. Most people used up their single votes almost immediately they opened. Since them Marcus has been shown in a pretty bad light. Watching the small additions to the polls from Tuesday on, those additions have been overwhelmingly for Marcus.

Also, I've a feeling that casual viewers (rather than diehards) will be voting Marcus. Fans of the show consider stuff such as the need to break the dominance of Team Dumb. Casual viewers simply pick up the phone for who they see as being the most apparently obnoxious......and a lot of the time Marcus and his mouth fit that bill.

Lastly, I don't think you can rely on the gambling odds. The bookies opened the eviction market on the basis of that intelligence they had gathered from fansites, etc. Punters have gone along with them but there has been no acid test of how strongly the public will feel about someone like Kris (a pretty boy who melts into the background most of the time).
