Tracey, because she likes to get along and have fun, but can stick up for herself.

At the moment I'd say the Twins. I think they are going to be there a for a good few weeks yet and already people are really starting to warm to them. Unless they turn into major bitches, and if they play there card right, i wouldn't be surprised to see them go all the way.

I think there are a few potential dark horses...the twins because there is two of them and I think one will do very well...and really shine without the other when it comes down to it. Plus we shall see that other side of them and the whole journey thing too. I think they have one up on everyone else because if you like Mandy you will probably support sam if Mandy goes and vice versa.

I think Nicky is a bit of a dark horse too as she's not majorly popular yet she's confronting the characters that people don't like (Charley) which will win her support.
I'm glad that there is no clear winner from Day 1 like there was last year.

Hm, well there are so many at the moment. I'd have to say Tracey, The Twins, and maybe Nikki. I doubt Nikki, though since she's already been in an argument.

Totally! It ruined last year for me.

Everyone is on a level playing field so far.

Nicky is a very interesting character to watch also...for me she was the quietest and most reluctant to mix...apart from lesley. Yet she was the one easily holding her own in the arguement against the houses "leader". Being 27 I think she is very aware of what looks good and what doesn't...she is also a character which I cannot work out...one minute she is quiet and pretty dull and the next she is giving her opinions out quite openly.

I would say Nicky and all, she's not been the life and soul of the house so far but she has shown that she will not be one to back down when she has something to say and wont be bossed around, she seems like a woman that very much knows her own mind and is quite clever.

I can see her carrying on debating things in a good manner and that can only gain her fans.

I keep hesitating before I start to type, because it would be easy to mention pretty much anyone, other than Charley or Lesley. Tracey perhaps, but I think she's going to explode sooner or later, and a lot will depend on whether she's seen as being in the right or not. She's flipped a little with Lesley already, and the whole 'girlie-girl' vibe in the house seems to irritate her far more than she's letting on, too.

But (crossing my fingers that this doesn't come back to bite me) I'm going with Emily. After the argument between Nicky & Charley, she was chatting with Nicky in the garden. I think she gave a pretty good account of herself, and was modest despite defending herself. And the Ziggy thing, too. She says he's good looking but not her type at all, but she's clearly fibbing. She was flattered when he complimented her, too (she's probably unaware that he's done the rounds and complimented pretty much everyone by now). I think that glow people get when they're crushing on someone is really endearing, so it could work in her favour if it develops and gets picked up on for the highlight shows.

I agree with the fact that this series is quite unpredictable so far in terms of a winner, and that makes everything that bit more interesting. I think the dark horse based on the last few days is probably Nicky. I just thought she'd be the nice one in the house - which she still is - however she is also the sort not to take nonsense from any other housemate, and I like that quality.

However, since it is still early days there may well be the odd other housemate who really comes into their own over the coming days - perhaps Nicky just got the early opportunity, and of course I hope she keeps that up. I agree with people saying Tracey, because I was unsure about her at first but I'm beginning to like her more now as I see where she's coming from in everything she says. I have to give her credit for that because at first I thought she'd just be a nutter. Although I don't think they're dark horses as such, I hope we get to see more of both Chanelle and Emily.

I would say... CHANELLE!

So far she has been so genuine and so lovely and this is her and people will like her for it. Im sure of it.

I'm not really sure if I think anyone is a dark horse so far.. I don't think we've sen all of Tracey just yet, she's taken quite a back seat so far.

Hmmm, I don't think that being in an argument would make anyone less popular necessarily, I suppose it would depend who started the argument and what it was about, etc. I quite like Nicky the man-hater.

Hmm, I think the fact that there isn't a clear winner puts them all 'dark horses', apart from the obvious ones like Charley who clearly won't win. Most of them have yet to show us what they promised in their VT's, and when we get that, I think then we can see who might win this series.

Probably Chanelle. Her odds to win have dropped from 20/1 to 10/1 already. People are seeing that she is a nice down to earth girl.

Admitting she wanted to be a WAG wasn't the best of starts for her but i think she will win the public over by the end.

Not this week anyway, I think she's secured herself as safe for Ziggy's nominations this week. Becoming close with him is the best thing she could have done, for safety.
