The Corin Taxi

what happened to corin last night? see we have a blocker in at 6.40 but last night left old offer up at 5.OO which got lifted at 02.30am
much to my surprise??

so my 4/1 gets lifted on here when high st is trading at 7/1. bit of a varient hmmm

fat finger maybe

off to winter gardens,blackpool for the darts tomorrow,up there for three days,better leave some more offers up

You don't rate Corin then alfie?

henry i rate her very much but that was an aggressive buy last night.

2.30 am - could be alcohol or a bot, or someone who can't spend any time on this market but can smell a winner.

Probably just booze.

yes maybe,a josie fall out would represent a corin price crash

broom, broom.

Full steam ahead

Indeed.

If you see Angie try to get in again, lock the doors.

I seem to remember she puked on the back seat last time, so shes barred

Genuinely my biggest green (get out now!), can't stand her though.

Went odds on, for a second

Coem on my little orange beauty!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a poll that shows Corin ahead and deserving her status of the jolly ?

Thanks in advance.

Polls are just a guide at this stage and they're all saying she's gaining support.

I'd also say all of these polls, bar the email ones and DS, are being distorted by the 'isn't he gawjuss' brigade on facebook and twitter.

Looking at the final TIBB poll for CBB it was way out on' isn't he gawjuss' Jonas.


eleb BB - Who do you want to *win*? [Final week]
Alex     24.69 % (904)
Jonas     18.71 % (685)

I believe they're vastly overstating the JJ vote this year.

that's last years Henry

Yes it was almost exactly one year ago and was the best answer to your question Phil. (The simple answer is that Corin leads no poll).

Looking like the winner at the minute

Fair points re the polls.
Still can't see her winning myself.
Only a matter of time before the mask slips again.

Corin
£53,354.12

Looks like my biggest specials win. Main liabilities being Ben and Josie. Just a matter of time now. GLA and WP.

Angela....

Picks up a good share of Ben's votes (anti JJJ).

The taxi driver's on for a big tip!

not been following closely lately but 3 seems very short

Seems rather long to me.

john james seemed popular with the young females there tonight. But wouldnt trust him not to fvck it up with a misplaced comment or action. Corin also had an iffy few days once and maybe that could resurface too.

Anything happens with JJ2 shes finnish, thats my only worry even then its not a worry cause then JJ1 will just win, back both for free moneh.

john seems pretty immune to that stuff, noodles. If it looks like he has 'learned lessons' I think he now stands a chance of winning. Quite obviously how JJJ pans out will influence things greatly. It must be remember that the iTune generation have not really had someone to vote for last couple of years in the final.

Brian Dowling is on board.

Hello sailor

She has the camp vote sewn up. The only thing stopping her is a change of heart at HQ or if she were to get with JJ2. Both seem immensely unlikely.

Choo choo!

great judge of character  that dowling fella

Angela, given your contrary posts and incessant b.s., I am hereby turfing you out of this taxi - you were eager to lay Corin only about 10 days ago claiming she could not win.

The tangerine dream coming true?

The future's bright etc

Fair enough JR, if you read this thread you'll probably spot my genuine posts. She's been the one I've been trying to get on all series. No need for anything but truths from now on for me as position is set. Apologies for ramping + b.s. Good luck with this taxi. My genuine view is it's almost unstoppable. Would be amazed and v gutted if she's not the winner. GL bud.

(I personally don't really like her but she's a really decent human being, and out of this lot, a very fair winner.)

  your unbelievable

He's a total bullshiner.

Yup.

Went very close to our first odds-on shot recently on here...

Who is first to admit to backing at 1.99..?

1.99 is still v big imho. She's as good as ptp already imho.

1.99 isnt even a price on Betfair

So much momentum, just a question where the price will bottom out. 1.7 is realistic in the next day or two

No point in laying yet

I think there is real honour in being the first to back the winner at odds on

leading survation now.

It's alandslide fll

The corin taxi is going to come to a crashing holt just before destination..There will be some long faces on here..But you will be able to see my smile from the moon weeeeeeee

She'll get out unscathed and get the bus instead

h2h JJ1 vs Corin eviction could be epic.

Not too impressed with the way she has effectively finished with her long term girlfriend on tv.  What impact if any might this have on her chances?

I have found this post on DS which pretty much reflects how I feel about it.  Any Corin fans feel this is overly harsh? 

"Corin came into the BB house and answered everyone's questions re her sexuality.

Yes, I am a lebian, she said.
Yes, I was married, she said.
Yes, I have a long term girlfriend, she said.
Yes, we have been together for over 5 years, she said.

She let everyone know how she and her girlfriend were good together, how she had supported her through thick and thin and also described how her girlfriend had been her rock completely as she 'Came Out' to her family.

All in all, Corin painted a perfect happy picture.

From what I gather, she has now jumped into bed with the immature looking JJ2, and fumbled about under the bedsheets getting up to who knows what.

Not a care in the world for the long term girlfriend now.

If Corin were this really nice, caring person that her fans go on about......then she would have done the decent thing and waited until she saw her girlfriend to establish where their relationship was at before making eyes at Nathan and JJ2........its only since she 'fancied' Nathan did she begin to say that things werent so happy at home after all......isnt that convenient for you Corin?"

Seems a pretty fair summary imo.

as odds on shots go its very fair,

no seriously there is issue's here, as ive said on the other thread i think its down to the attension she is getting in the house...her confidence has grown massively.
without make-up we would wee a totally different corin.

its obvious to say that her partner on the outside has helped her with getting over her dead husbund and reassuring her she has, as much beauty on the inside as the outside.

see*

Not really fair, no.

I'm not sure where those quotes are from, as from the 1st week or so, she said she thought her girlfriend would cheat on her and seemed fairly unconcerned about it.
She said it was a relationship full of arguments and she was happy to have time away from it.
She also says in her profile that her next relationship would be with a man.

So hardly the loving relationship that the person in that thread is trying to suggest it is.

It's an interesting and not particularly welcome development though, that certainly throws a huge spanner in the works.
We shall see how it plays out.

Sam should be 1.8 now

LOL, I wouldn't say that GB.

Jo maybe 1.8 ;)

Just to add, I've always seen her as someone who is predominantly straight, but after the devastating loss of her husband found solace and comfort in a relationship with a woman.
Possibly because a relationship with a woman meant, in her mind, she wasn't being disloyal or disrespecting the memory of her late husband.
That relationship had obviously turned sour before she entered the house and was pleased to have time away from it and get her head straight.
Of course in an ideal world she'd have ended the relationship before she went in the house, but life unfortunately tends to be messy. Rather like her duvet this morning ;)


From a betting POV, is it a positive? No.
Is it a massive negative? Very unlikely.
Is it a small negative that might lose her a little support? Probably.

No kissing, no handjob, just cuddling...and tickling.

It just seems very sweet and very funny with her worrying about her wig.

Yep, agree with that FLL.

Would people agree that the impact will be less because she is in a relationship with a woman and that it would be far more of a problem with the viewers if she had a live-in male partner?

This is even funnier

sl ag

Tart with a heart I'd say ;)

aye was a joke, she's lovely ( with make up )

without it i'd have to stare at the mantle piece

Would people agree that the impact will be less because she is in a relationship with a woman

Possibly, unless she turns up on BBBM

the biggest danger here is corins lover turning up in the papers and saying how much she has been let down by corin after helping her to recover from death and being ugly

has anyone seen Corin's OH?

a women spurned is a very very dangerous thing...if i'd have kept my corin green i would of been dumping half at evens for sure.

no squares

Must be a miracle worker if she has helped her recover from death and being ugly.

get her in, she'd be 1.8

or even she could turn up on BBLB and say how great and wonderful corin is and im glad she's having so much fun in the house im so proud of her and still love her to bits


timmmmmmber 1.01 game over

For me the contrast between Corin and Josie is enormous and evident again in those 2 videos.

Corin is upbeat, fun, determined, energetic, honest, self deprecating, but not excessively so and generally positive.

Josie is dour, downbeat, lazy, negative, sefish, excessively self deprecating to the point where she's looking for sympathy, not just trying to raise a smile like Corin.

I'm still fully aboard the corin taxi and don't see how the heffalump can win.

josie at single figure's is the biggest mystery in the world right now...fu ck the aztec lines there nothing compared to this

Yes, I would whole-heartedly concur with that comparison fll. Guess the slight concern is that many of those Josie traits you describe probably plug directly in to many of the female viewers who are likely to be her supporters and have an affinity with her.
I'm still in the Corin taxi but it's turned into more of a tuk-tuk in downtown Bangkok, and the driver has just decided to take an unexpected turn off the main thoroughfare, and you're slightly concerned he's about to pull over down some shady back street and rob you blind.
fwiw I have baled on my Corin spread today - bought @15 sold @33 this morning and been laying at her current odds of around 5-4 and 11-8. Still a big green on her and trouble is, other HMs are now turning to healthy greens too but I'm against pretty much all of them

I think the market has made a huge mistake with Josie.  The assumption is that insecure, bitchy women will back her and there are plenty of those.  The truth is no-one hates insecurity and bitchiness more than insecure, bitchy women and there are plenty of those.

I don't think the OH thing will make much difference (unless she actually turned up as a housemate ala Rex!)

People who vote are not really bothered about other people who aren't actually on the show, just the behaviour and character of those in the house.

That's the trouble with laying her, jr.
You're left with green on HM's who have very little chance.

BB is invariably won by upbeat positive HM's.
Whingers and moaners don't win.

So that rules out JJ1, Josie, Steve, Andrew, Mario.

That doesn't leave many left.
Sam is still an interesting runner for me, because although he's a bit of a toerag, he's a very upbeat and positive guy.

Being an utter utter tw@t rules out Sam.

As well as only being in the house 25% of the series.

Trouble is if you don't lay off your greens but backed other favoured runners instead you'd have to tie up much more of your cash until they introduce the last Tiddles, which you'd still be forced to back at whatever odds people could get away with offering if you needed to free up funds.

They have the footage to make Dave look like a prize cnut in lead up to Friday, moaning on about Mario putting him up etc so why is he friendless in eviction market?

whoops, wrong thread ^^^^ Sorry

Nicely position in 2nd on the rank.
Just needs a good week and it's all to play for.

Good value currently imo. Once Sam goes think Corin will lead Josie in the polls.

Cruising on the bridle this lass. Has done throughout. It's been like watching O'Brien send his battalions to topple Sea The Stars but much like the great 3-y-o colt she is still travelling ominously well.

I think Corin would probably win if a positive vote was taken now but Im struggling to see how she can survive as the lone female in an eight-way negative eviction vote in which she has had so much air-time, even though tonights show was great for her. It will come down to how much she is shown in Fridays HLs and how the eviction process works. So basically BB will decide whether she is evicted or not and I really cant guess what their intentions are or even if they are particularly bothered.

keep the faith she wins this

Taxi for the taxi!!! Goodbye Katie Price lookie likee. Never on doubt.

Excellent thread simper.

I'm really chuffed that she got such a great reception.

Very well deserved.
