Does it really matter who the favourite is?

The bookies are rarely right when it comes to winning Big Brother.

No, it doesn't really. I have always prefered my favourites not to be bookie favourites as it feels like it jinxes their chance of winning.

It doesn't matter who has been topping votes or not or been bottom of the pile. Look at Jay last year, almost a goner in some evictions, yet second in the final, because that is when the votes matter, and casual viewers might decide to vote, plus some wait to see if their favourites make the final before shelling out on votes in the final only, so that is why the final can be harder to predict the winner in some cases.
