Evictions on Friday format is not exactly known - could be 4th and 5th place together, then 3rd, then 2nd/winner.

Betfair will always suspend when voting suspends - also bear in mind that the 'live' show is not 'live' but time-delayed transmission. For example on Wednesday, Nicola was evicted about 9.55pm real time, but the 'live' show was not transmitted until 10.55pm. We knew shew had been evicted by website reports from the audience.

Because of this, the market remained suspended from the time voting suspended at 9.20pm.

For the finals night, the voting lines due usually open between the 3rd eviction been shown on TV and the announcement of the winner. This has always allowed a brief window for trading in the past

Sorry if this sounds complicated, but there is no simple answer to your question.
