With what looks like the last of the new housemates entering the Big Brother house the betting market has found three likely winners. The shortest price of these with the bookmakers at the time of writing is Corin. The 28 year old Jordan lookalike has not put a tanned foot wrong and has come across as ditzy but kind. This persona has resonated with the target audience and Corin would be a worthy final Big Brother champion.
Trying to upset Corin are unlikely lovebirds Josie and John James. Their BB relationship has been partly played out in front of the cameras but mainly under the whispering duvet. Cynics are of the opinion that their tryst has been planned enabling viewers to want to continue watching the pair and therefore keeping them in the house. Whatever their motives either of them could win Big Brother. The Aussie John James is more likely for he currently has no male rivals which could assist him. Josie's vote may be split with some viewers voting for Corin this would let John James in and he would pick up Big Brothers final cheque.

The final series of Big Brother has again thrown up the usual dysfunctional human beings chosen for their eccentricity and complete lack of humility. The desperate wannabees are again after their quarter of an hour in the tabloids and will then retire and return to a life of obscurity. The Big Brother concept has run its course and you always feel that whichever clip you are watching you have seen it all before.
The betting after the first couple of weeks has Stockport gal Corin towards the top, she has displayed either naivety or cunning in exchanges with her fellow BB 11 housemates. Easy going you need to lower the brightness button on your TV such is her addiction to being the colour of an orange via sunbeds. Steve the ex squaddie who lost both legs in an explosion in Northern Ireland was the early favourite but he does not seem demonstrative enough and the show seems to be passing him by.
However if past history is anything to go by in Big Brother we expect a male candidate to win the show. The current male candidates include Ben, Dave, Govan and John James. Church Minister Dave may be a slow burner and is way overpriced to win Big Brother. Dave started very slowly and reminds us a little of Cameron Stout who won the show in 2003. At the prices Dave the 39 year old from Pontypool is a decent bet.
