This year, I'd settle for a 3 way tie!!!!

The bookies have made their minds up, that's for sure. Ladbrokes have Kate at 9-4 on, Paddy Power at 11-4 on, and Coral Eurobet have Kate at an amazing 5-1 on!

Either they have inside information, or large bets are being placed by people with inside information, or a large number of people just think Kate will win, and are putting bets on independently.

If these odds are to be believed, Kate already has one hand and three fingers on the £70,000!

She's been absolutely great, and I hope she does it!

Although I would have liked Kate to win, she does not have a prayer.

The smart money is on Alex, especially as he is the choice of Channel 4, and they have edited programmes in the past to keep him in the house. So expect the editing to make Alex more popular.

According to one source the bulk of the voters are teenage to young women, who will always vote for a man. You have a professional model and someone who looks like an old man

Ergo Alex has it in the bag
This weeks vote is a mere formality

You COULD be right, Sticks.
