If BB decided to treat kim and JC as a couple and paired them up, what odds would they be to win.

Well thats what they are doing with Deadwood. They are 2 people that have a massive advantage as they have each other as company, sounding off ideas, friendship, brotherly love, social impact shields and can bring each other up when they are down. The rest are singular and have no support mechanism only their immediate competitors.

The mood in that house is magnified for those that feel ostracised or alone like Kim and JC as they are not a part of the gang, so they feel under constant pressure. This is why Speidi have been so successful and why Jedward are running amok in the house.

They need to separate them for voting purposes and tasks and see how far they get. Having 2 people as one is grossly unfair.

A Pair have never actually won the show so it mustn't be that much of an advantage

Less than 1% of all contestants have been pairs so its down to basic maths.

I dont really dislike them as people, I pity them more as they have not had a normal upbringing from the get go. Mummy has used them as her private cash cow and its sad they have been surrounded by yes me telling them they are normal when in reality they have never been allowed to grow out of nappies.

By the way I am not hating on mummy Grimes, her exploits are well documented and its fact that she has amassed a personal fortune out of the exploitation of her own kids. Zero to millionaire as a teacher is tosh, she takes a percentage of their earnings as a management fee and that cant be debated as its true.

I would never dream of exploiting my kids like she has so some of the blame for their weirdness has to lie with her. The reason why they are rebelling in the house is because outside they never are allowed to get into these situations as they are surrounded by yes men and secondly this baby speak they use is part of the brand they portray.

There are pros and cons to be being in a pair, as one can bring the other one down, I don't get this train of thought that they have each other, as they only seem to have each other, but Bonca, James C, Nicole and Coleen all have each others backs.

Pairing Kim and James C wouldn't work as I would vote for Kim but not James C

Even though the others have each other, dont forget they are competitors not friends for life after 2 weeks. In relation to the voting, I was using those 2 as a template, twins are stronger an entity than singular and very rarely argue.

...me thinks....one of the pair would hang themselves...before the final
