NADIA Odds 2-1

The Portuguese transsexual is now the favourite to win - despite a slow start. The chainsmoker was sad to see Becki go but her hidden strengths should see her through this week's boot camp.

DANIEL Odds 3-1

Baldy bore pushed into second place this week but it's not over 'til the fat lady sings. Tension between Dan and Jason flared up again this week with the gay hairdresser branding the bronzed Scot nothing but 'totty'.

STUART Odds 4-1

Student Stu enjoyed a spanking session with the girls and another romp under the covers with Michelle. Still sadly lacking in the personality department and if it wasn't for Michelle, he would be on his way out.

MICHELLE Odds 6-1

The Geordie lass's late-night romps with 'chicken' Stu has seen bookies slash the odds on her winning. The latest steamy scenes certainly aren't doing flirty Michelle's popularity any harm.

VICTOR Odds 7-1

Snivelling so-called badass was up to his old tricks as he flattered Ahmed and plotted against Nadia. Thinks of himself as the house 'alpha male' so won't like being one of the foot soldiers in Big Brother's boot camp.

SHELL Odds 10-1

Still scoring high on the boring scale, Shell celebrated her graduation but this didn't stop her moaning about her big bum while parading about in her knickers. Female viewers are unlikely to be sympathetic.

AHMED Odds 33-1

Joint bottom with Jason, Becki's eviction prevented another violent outburst from the Somali refugee. Will there be another outbreak of Ah-mania in the house this week... could well be if he ends up facing eviction.

JASON Odds 33-1

His moody behaviour continues and he must be praying the housemates pass this week's task as in a run-off with Michelle the muscle-bound Scot is a dead cert to go - and there's not even Becki to flirt with. Yuk!

Im gutted to see that Michelle has more of a chance of winning than Victor and also i would rather see Dan win than Nadia.

[Lance]

Im surprised to see Stu up so high but delighted to see Nadia is the favourite!!

The bookies have been shown up after making her the rank outsider in the beginning!Just goes to show not to judge a book by it's cover!Nadia was just seen as a Portuguese transexual in the beginning but now look where she is..she's the favourite to win..I say well done Nadia and well done to all those who see past her transexual status!

[bananarama]

This facination with an animal hating fag junky beggars belief.

[Hooly One]

I Agree Lance

Much as I like Nadia, I can't really see her pursuing a celebrity career after being in BB, so even if she wins I don't think she'll be in the media years down the line. Yes, she is popular and I like her too but is she celebrity material? She does have a fun personality tho' so we'll just have to wait to find out...

To me, Dan is the one with the celebrity presence and has tons of charisma to boot so I think he'll be the one with the most successful media career after leaving the house, regardless of whether he wins or not. I read an interview with his friends on the internet somewhere and they said that he always gets what he goes for and he has loads of fans already so I can see him having some sort of celebrity career.

Stu - As nice as he is, he seems a bit too laid-back, too "normal" to be given a TV career.

Shell - Also too "normal"

[Lance]

Who said you have to have a job in the media after BB anyway?Maybe she doesn't want to work in showbiz?

[Julia L]

No, you don't need to enter BB to pursue a career in showbiz, but a lot of the contestants do. Just saying that I'm not sure Nadia will be one of them.

[Lance]

Me too!I don't think she is in there for that reason!

[BusyBee]

I think most of the housemates this year ARE in it to get a job in the media. Though I dont think Nadia is one of them. I think she went in to prove she could be accepted by others as herself and to boost her confidence. Maybe she has an alterior motive, but I dont think so.

[James]

You could argue that the first series had the most media-wannabes because they might have thought they were all going to be offered media jobs. All the series have their fair share of wannabes.

About Nadia, I think she is probably going to win because people want to prove a point about transphobia.

I think it's a similar situation to Michelle McManus winning Pop Idol where viewers wanted to show the pop industry should not be all about image.

I guess though in Big Brother this reason is as good as any.

[She Devil]

I agree James

[golden~rose]

i also think the nadia will win because of her past and that alot of people may feel sorry for her!!

[Lance]

I think Nadia is could win not because she is getting the sympathy vote but because she ius entertaining!

She is fantastic in there and again I don't think she iis looking for a media job but acceptance from the public which we have already seen when she was kept in the house!

I think you well be right there James.

[Lance]

Noway,only people who are shallow enough to be unable to look past her transexual status would vote for Nadia because of that reason,I think a lot of her fans are voting for her because she is entertaining and genuinely fun!

[Lance]

I wonder if Nadia odds have shortened after her fight with Jason?

[AndyJK]

This is very depressing news indeed.

[Lance]

I think it's fantastic!It's better than having big bores Jason Ahmed Michelle and Stu as favourites!

How can you say Ahmed, Michelle and Jason are "bores?"

I'm losing faith again in the BB viewers again.

[Lance]

All Jason does is excercise,plaster himself in fake tan and shave his chest while looking in the mirror...oh and bully Nadia!

ahmed is a whinger turning into a 5 year old!

I will take back what I said about Michelle,her tantrums are quite entertaining and her outburst at Ahmed are great viewing!

But Ill stand by caklling Jay,Ahmed and Stu boring!

However I have changed my mind about Victor,although I don't particularly like him he is certainly better than Jay,Ahmed and Stu!
