Big Brother have very much handed Emma and Michelle an advantage on a plate.

Apart from the fact that they can play the game more tactically now, breaking up Michelle and Stuart has let the viewers see a different side to Michelle that they didn't see before.

Also the highlights show has become centered around those two in the bedsit with every event ending with in a comment by them.

The voting patterns have been changed by them still in the game but not available to nominate.

Furthermore Emma and Michelle being shown watching the show on TV has made them seem like more like us than any of the other housemates.

All in all the effect of this is to give Emma and Michelle the same advantage that Cameron had in BB4 with his Africa trip.
