Josie innit Plain

Even Corin could be gone on Friday Plain

And why would anyone in their right mind want to back Steve, Andrew or JJ2?

My green is already in the safe haven of Josie George, now hoping I can have my second winner of the series with a Top Male win for Stevo.
Ungreened my outright screen by backing Steve again at 42-44, only to lay it off at 32 to go back to all green.
Top male market is the only interesting one for me now, seems to be the only one with the potential to still make a bit.

I lumped on Mario when the news broke, so that was fortunate

I honestly can't see Steve surviving mate

Both Sam and JJ fans will target him

I'm not too sure that they will target Steve as they probably do not see him as a threat to their chances, I'd have expected them to go for the perceived bigger players.

Who though?  There aren't any are there?  Corin?

He's also well up in the polls, top on BBOL

When you speak to most people who are not obsessed like us, they seem to think that the likes of Corin, Mario, Andrew and Dave all stand a chance of winning. Steve seems to be regarded as my favourite type of character(underdog), because he is perceived as being boring.
If as many have pointed out, John james and Sam go because they are such big characters, there is only space for two more, and if the edit team continue to target Corin (why show her picking her nose last night) then there is only space for one more. At his current price, I think it is a worthwhile gamble that he may not fill that last slot, leaving him in a decent position in a "vote to win" for the Top Male slot.

Hi Guys
Like you Pakey, I was surprised they showed the shot of Corin picking her nose. I'm no fan of Corin and have been against her since she went to some silly prices, but she has not had the rub of the green lately. It suits my book, but with the four to evict and the deconstruction of Corin, it is almost like they want a coronation of Josie ahead of the All-Stars event. Perhaps the argument is that a vote to evict on Friday will bring in revenue and a massive audience if the likes of John James and Sam go (and PR wise, both would be 'gold' outside the house), then there is only three shows before the final and the start of the next event, plus the revenue from a 'vote to win'. If Sam and JJ1 go on Friday and if there are no more twists, I could see Josie winning by the widest margin ever.
Turning to the 'Male Winner' market. I would rather wait until Friday evening, but if Sam and John James go then I think Andrew is the most likely male winner (or even more interestingly, if they put up a 'Without Josie' market). I suspect he has a few more fans out there than we think. I also don't discount Dave as he has been a good house mate, always give full value and he does have a potential Welsh vote/Christian vote to call on.
What makes it hard to call is that relatively few votes could seperate second to fifth.
Regards to All

Hi lg
Can't argue with that mate, I think the very important one for us guys who are no longer playing the outright market, is the point you make about the very few votes that could separate second to fifth.
While I'm happy to back Steve as he has been trading at large prices, I would not want to go too red laying any of the remainder for Top Male, or for Winner Without Josie.

Corin is clearly a bogey.
Report PAKEY August 16, 2010 12:41 PM BST
She was certainly looking for one on last night's HL show Kitten.

Must be a big green (bogey).
