So here we are then. A series that began with Kerry Katona standing all alone in the shiny, new Big Brother house, will quite possibly end that way tomorrow night. KK is second favourite to win the show at 3.9, and it seems only that appalling Jedward thing can stop her. True to BB self-misogynistic form, it has been a dreadful series for the womenfolk, with all three evictions so far finding a female on the receiving end of some seriously penetrative live journalism from Brian 'Paxman' Dowling.

As can the betting. Sam Attwater seems to be the judges' favourite right now, and with Chloe Madeley and Laura Hamilton hot on his heels, this might well be the first time that he has ever been the most famous name in a sentence about celebrities. Attwater is also very much the favourite with the Betfair market too - trading at a staggering 1.97. We love a bandwagon, so he can have our support too.
