How has this man not got a train yet??

As time goes on we will see more and more of his extrovert character and with his happy go lucky approach to life he is sure to be a grower in terms of popularity.

He is huge on Youtube which I know doesn't transfer to votes per se but he is popular on there because he is interesting and positive which should transfer to votes on BB as long as this comes across on screen which to me it already does to a certain extent.

He is currently around the 20 mark and IMHO I think unless he has a hidden horror side I think it is virtually impossible for him not to trade in single figures at some point.

Personally on what has happened in the house so far I make him 2nd favourite behind the obvious Biggins and with several runners way shorter than any evidence says they should be I think his current price is easily the best value in the market currently!

so far so good imo as he's been entertaining but not a pain.

hard for yanks to do well though isnt it?

i'm not on but agree he seems a more creditable winner than many of the others. good luck.

I'm not so sure it is any more, Gary Busey winner, Austin Armacost 2nd.

If this were a horse racing handicap I would say that being American is like a horse having a 3lb penalty, yes makes it slightly harder but if it's good enough it will still win!

Many of the 'rules' for who wins BB and CBB has changed since the move to channel 5.

Heavy was only ever a trading option rally Army.

I backed at 22 and sold at 15 and was really happy with that business even though he touched 12.

He's just a big gormless lump, no harm in him but no brains or subtlety either and his appearance alone will put off many voters.

Sorry HF, I was referring to BB 3rd Cousin twice removed post about Frankie's sisters fans keeping him in the house in case she talked to bots, it reminded me of The Kittens post from IAC in 2012, about Eric Bristow being a county class swimmer in his youth, and that would boost his chances. Laugh

For anyone who doesn`t know the story, (it was nine years ago, so memory might have the details wrong);

BB announced there was to be some kind of swimming task, which might have involved immunity. Somebody posted that nightmarish and huge-priced  Charlie had been a `county class swimmer` Her price plummeted by about 80%. Then, it turned out, she was no swimmer at all, perhaps still before the task? Cue the inevitable drift back towards pre-ramp prices. Forum legend has always said it was The Kitten but I posted that once, only to be corrected by bear. Kitten was the one who`s posts I remember; he ran with it for sure, but it`s entirely possible someone else had posted it first, and then stood back.

Either way, having been lurking for a couple of years, it was this episode which turned me into a poster. I happened to be in front of my computer when it all started and managed to back her, and was also here as the truth became known, and managed to lay her; a most exciting afternoon, one that changed my life.  So, you can all blame kitten for every bit of boll0x I`ve posted ever since!

Taking on Bear was a big move after seemingly fawning over him yesterday after he nommed him for permanent eviction.

he tackled him with dignity and never fell to Bears level, undoubtably a stayer, very unlikely to do something to ruin his chances as he seems very even tempered.

Still the value at his current price as at half the price is someone we only see for 1 minute every other night and 45 seconds of that is him just saying 'bruv'!
