Big Brother 6 - The Official Thread

[Jonathan B]

I think orlaith was out of order leaving it til today to leave, if she was so intent on going she should have walked before the eviction, then hopefully kemal would still have been in there now.

I thought it was quite funny her getting Kemal the boot then walking herself ... especially as it's her who's on the cover of all the sunday tabs. No mention of Kemal at all [ I imagine he got a mention inside though ].

 

[Jonathan B]

Now I understand, thanks guys.

Out of all of them that's left, i would least unhappy if eugene won, I reckon. I don't think any of the others deserve to win, they're all not very nice people.

Eugene = total plank but, underneath it all, a decent guy. I agree with you about the rest of them.

 

[DJ Squelch]

So they are replacing Orla with a new housemate tonight. Hope its Kinga, she looked gutted when she wasn't choosen to go into the house. Or bring back Science.
Actually I say bring back the kitten they had the other day, I'd vote for that to win. Or an inanimate object as a housemate, kind of like when they had a tub of lard as a guest on Have i Got News For You. I'd vote for a tub of lard over most of the current housemates.

 

[CyberRose]

Wow thats gonna be brill!

I thought they might just let Orlaith go as solving the problem of having too many housemates with 2 weeks left but I guess they already made arrangements for that!

 

[Orang Utan]

I'd vote for a tub of lard over most of the current housemates.

Fantastic idea, I'm sure the tub of lard would storm it and end up in a 4 page spread in The Sun (geddit?)

completely agree.

haven't watched since friday and can't say i'm that interested even in the new hm's entrance. how many weeks left?!

 

[AllStarMe]

According to the Sunday papers, theyre going to put Kinga in Orlaiths place.
This should be interesting!

 

[smurkey]

absolute toilet viewing tonight...

 

[Passdout]

Kinga the minga it is then

 

[Random One]

ffs!

 

[smurkey]

she's so fucking irritating already

 

[dynamicbaddog]

Fucking great, this coming week ain't going to be so dull after all

 

[Red40]

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer is she?

 

[exosculate]

she is horrible.

 

[The Lone Runner]

when she came in she hugged everybody except poor Eugene...

 

[AllStarMe]

She so didnt understand what her secret mission was!

 

[Pip]

I TOLD YOU SO!

 

[Echo Beach]

Yeah it was abit obvious that she was ignoring Eugene. But being the generus soul I am I'll put it down to her being star struck by all the other's "celebrity".

I still can't decide who should win

 

[Orangesanlemons]

Been away for a few days, but from what I can gather:

Kinga can win. She can nominate this week and also be nominated against.
Her secret mission: if she avoids being nominated by every housemate she will be immune from the public vote this week.

It looks likely that Derek won't nominate her this week, so she'll therefore be immune, taking a lot of noms with her.

Derek is the only housemate guaranteed to be up for nomination this week (trading at less than evens on Betfair even before noms have been made!!!). IMHO he's got two sure votes (Ant and Makosi), but that's it.

So: Eugene and (unbelievably) Craig should be safe by my - admittedly - unscientific reckoning, so it could well be a three-way tussle betweem Derek, Makosi and *SHOCK HORROR* Anthony.

Kinga is the loose cannon here, but I'd expect a wasted vote for Eugene, plus maybe one for Makosi.

DEFINITELY keeping my powder dry on this one.

 

[Orangesanlemons]

Orangesandlemons...if you tell me how to make a small fortune off this I promise I will only take the piss for beating you this season and will never mention 4-0 or the two times we beat you in the cups when you were still in the Premiership again!!

Ah, but we'll be in the play-offs this year, while you'll still be in eighth place, two points outside, as per bloody usual.

But seriously, I've put most of my betting on this thread as a kind of "BB gambler's blog-within-a-thread". If anyone follows it or acts on it then that's all well and good, but I'd feel uncomfortable advising anyone that they will 100% make money if they do as I say.

In any case, the only way to 'make a small fortune' is by starting off at the beginning - Betfair is the gambler's joint of choice here - with (say) a £100 quid stake, keeping an eye on the editing and when the odds start to swing, putting money on both (or the most likely) candidates at their BEST prices, and then reaping the rewards. Keep increasing the stakes in line with what you've won, and by the time the eighth eviction comes around you should be talking a few grand, with no real exposure to speak of.
Nothing's guaranteed (I lost money - but not much - on Maxwell's eviction because I got lazy and didn't bet on Science too. Saskia's eviction was a waste of time too because she was unbackable), but the odds are heavily stacked in your favour. You'll be picking up 'crumbs' rather than big 10/1 shots, but the crumbs get bigger in line with your stake the further the show progresses. You could also go mental and stick a grand on straight off, but I wouldn't recommend that.

Feel free to try it this time - I'll post exactly what I'm putting money on and when - but bear in mind i'm just another schmuk on the internet - buyer beware! I'm also not going to be here on tues/weds, which is the most important time in BB betting, but I'll certainly have a few quid on.

 

[equationgirl]

I thought it was if she avoided being nominated by a single housemate she was ok.

 

[bigbry]

Wrong - if she doesn't get nominated by just ONE housemate she's safe

 

[Orangesanlemons]

Yeah, to clarify: if she avoids being nommed by just one HM she's okay - sorry, it's been a long day.

 

[Orangesanlemons]

Okay: after ten mins of the live feed couldn't resist an opening salvo of £100 (1/10 total stake) on Makosi at 9.1 - IMO Eugene will nom her, leaving a Makosi/Derek eviction on the cards.

I have to point out here that this is an entirely speculative pre-nomination punt - the bookies don't agree with me and Craig is still 2nd fav at 5s.

How exciting!

 

[Buddy Bradley]

I'd vote for a tub of lard over most of the current housemates.

Your wish is Big Brother's command...

according to the mirror, maxwell has been sacked -

MAXWELL Ward has been sacked from his job as an electrician at fashion store Top Shop.

Maxwell, 24, arrived home after his six weeks in the Big Brother house to find a letter telling him he was fired.

A colleague at the store on London's Oxford Street said: "He didn't tell anyone he was leaving. He just didn't turn up for work. The next thing we knew was when we saw him on the show."

A spokeswoman for Top Shop owners Arcadia said: "He can appeal against our decision. We'd be interested to hear what he has to say.

"strike a light guvna, i cahnt be on the jam roll nah im a sleb like! fuck abaaaaaaaht"

Deserved, cunt.

Champion!!!!

 

[madzone]

I didn't realise that Derek was such a film buff. He obviously specialises in rare films such as the cult classic 'Hey Ho!' with John Wayne and his horse Silver

 

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

when she came in she hugged everybody except poor Eugene...

I'm not surprised, given that loveable old 'Eug' was such a complete c*nt to her when she was passed over the first time.

I had a feeling we hadn't seen the last of her. And I am somewhat suspicious that she actually has more upstairs than the rest of those mentally sparse twattocks put together.
