Big Brother (UK 2005) - Come anticipate Craig's eviction with me (thread 5)

Let's count those betfair odds down:

TO WIN
Makosi: 4/1
Kemal: 5/1
Derek: 5/1
Anthony: 13/2
Science: 17/2
Maxwell: 9/1
Eugene OR Orlaith (joint ticket): 12/1
Craig: 30/1
Vanessa: 50/1

NEXT EVICTION

Craig: 2/1
Maxwell: 3/1
Vanessa: 6/1
Science: 13/2
Eugence: 18/1
Orlaith: 27/1
Derek: 30/1
Anthony: 33/1
Kemal: 40/1
Makosi: 40/1

As a betting man, a tenner on Science to win (he's riding the polls at the moment and all he needs is one moment to turn around a few doubters later on. If he survives The Lost Boys going out he'll have nothing to inflame him so he should be safe) seems sensible. Also, £5 on Anthony at 33/1 seems great value, because if Team Diva go for him over Craig he might not beat Maxwell in a run-off.

So there you go.

I have just realised that I have no idea what odds mean. 13/2? 9/1? What? Which is better than the other? They make no sense.

― The Lex (The Lex), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:46 (nineteen years ago)

C'mon lex. 13/2 is 6.5/1. They round it up - so 9/1 is better odds as it is more return, 13/2 is considered more favourite.

and they always quote 100/30 because 10/3 could be mixed up with a race time.

― 3underscore (___), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:53 (nineteen years ago)

So if you bet on something which is 9/1 and win, you get nine times the amount of whatever you bet? But if you lose, you just lose that amount? And I've seen bets like 9/4, surely they are getting into ridiculous maths territory there.

― The Lex (The Lex), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

ridiculous maths? 9/4 is quite easy to understand. very easy ectually.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

i mean that sounded patronising, maybe arithmetic is a weak point for you, sorry. but it's simple (primary school) arithmetic. 9/4 as a fraction is 9 over 4 = 2 and a quarter or 2.25. you get 2.25 as much back as you bet initially so for £1 you would win £2.25.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

I was always really bad at fractions :(

(I have forgotten all maths ever since leaving school which means that I am in the ludicrous situation of possessing an A level in the subject but being unable to do basic arithmetic without a calculator)

Not mine, but I found it amusing:

you are all thick as shit

― telling you how better than you i am, Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:54 (nineteen years ago)

Shit tends to vary in consistency. I move to strike your comments from the record.

In hindsight it would've been better to see Saskia still in and squirming, I've not caught any of the aftermath yet but I'm looking forward to it.

― On one hand I've got myself to blame (Lynskey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

the miked up snogging between those two (and whatever else last night) had something of the industrial music's intention ('hamburger lady' throbbing gristle etc), uncomfortable and not only bcz of who was getting it on.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

I fear that Craig's unutterable appallingness, so obvious to the viewers on TV, may have been sufficiently blunted by the HM's loathing for Maxwell. I think this is as their Max-hate is based on how his vileness is inevitably expressed directly to them - cf the Kemal incident and the innumerable barneys with Science, whereas Craig tends to be vilest when in the, um, bosom of Team Twunt.

― darren (darren), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

I thought Maxwell's surname was just Ward - I guess the double barrelling with Trotter makes him the epitome of nouveau riche, it's like trying to affect something posh but failing so dismally. Isn't Vanessa the possessor of a double-barrelled surname as well?

I don't even hate any of them any more, I now just have a general feeling of meh-ness towards the whole house. Makosi is winning in my heart by default.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

In other words, he may avoid nomination while Maxwell goes up instead. While those two are clearly the most loathsome creatures left in the house, I am on of those that would love to see a Team Twunt vs Team Diva tussle on Friday. With the probable exception of a Max v Vanessa tussle, it could only result in a victory for Team Diva and some serious humble pie for M and C...

― darren (darren), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

I kinda hope that Science and Eugene form their own rap-duo. I can see them going for Christmas number one. Derek will definetely be in panto, he is that cool.

Anyway, Anthony will move himself away from Max and Craig this week.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe he will, but why bother? He might be harmless for the most part, but he's still harmlessly gormless.

― Negativa, True Believer (Sheryl Crow in a Britney costume) (Barima), Saturday, 2 July 2005 18:05 (nineteen years ago)

i can't believe no one has commented on last night's hot tub antics.
oh my lord

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 3 July 2005 12:02 (nineteen years ago)

Well, what happened? I just watched BBLB not ask Saskia about bigotry.

― suzy (suzy), Sunday, 3 July 2005 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

I am just catching up via Digital Spy having not watched any BB last night. It sounds appalling and I'm glad I missed it.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 3 July 2005 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

mrs fiendish woke me from my hungover stupor this morning to tell me about some vileness involving the hot tub and anthony's cock. how i managed to avoid vomiting, i don't know.

(also: how mrs fiendish manages to avoid hangovers, i don't know.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 3 July 2005 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

I saw some hot-tub vileness on E4+1 last night (ordinary E4 doesn't seem to work on my freeview). It was truly vile. ICK.

anthony on homosexuality:
"I think maxwell's a bit more adjusted to it, cos he works in topshop..."

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

i hate these people. hate them all.

except eugene.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 3 July 2005 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

i hate eugene

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 3 July 2005 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

oh, sorry, for those of you who missed out, it involved about 10 solid minutes of bare breast sucking, followed by four-person naked hot tub fumbling and anthony suspiciously facing forward, 'fiddling with the hot water jet' and... then the broadcast cut out, as apparently more raunchy goings on occurred. wow. all at the family hour at 12.30 am or thereabouts. i'm curious to see the highlights show...

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 3 July 2005 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

Is that "bare breast sucking" as in "sucking of a nude breast", or were you talking in Estuary patois?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 3 July 2005 19:51 (nineteen years ago)

anthony is currently sucking orlaith's breasts. ooh, no: he's now up to all sorts of shenanigans with makosi.

science is looking on, all dejected. i'm not surprised: it's the single least sexy thing i have ever seen.

did i say how much i hate these people?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 3 July 2005 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

craig was crying big crocodile tears
'BUT I'M ANTHONY'S SLAVE! ME! ME! ME!'
unhealthy obsession there. it's disturbing me

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 3 July 2005 19:57 (nineteen years ago)

Yes. You also added 'except eugene'. It's Arkham for you, sonny!

"And then my mum put a currant bun in the toaster burble burble" SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU BORING BASTARD.

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Sunday, 3 July 2005 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

yes. that conversation has maybe changed the way i feel. sorry, eugene.

maxwell is now getting all teary over saskia. shame it's not because someone's just hit him in the pods with a hammer.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 3 July 2005 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

Someone in the pool, to Science: "You're watching us like it's a television show!"
Science: "It IS a television show."

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 3 July 2005 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

brilliant.
i can't BELIEVE this stupidity:
"They won't show the snog on TV," Orlaith said uneasily. "Will they?"
DUH

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 3 July 2005 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

I liked it when Craig was talking at length about "Everywhere I go, everyone treats me like SHIT!" I was thinking, "If it quacks like a duck..."

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 3 July 2005 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

This thread is funny today. I hate them all too.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Sunday, 3 July 2005 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, that Science line was grebt. Derek was OTM wrt Craig in the diary room. He is quite clearly infatuated with Anthony.

― RickyT (RickyT), Sunday, 3 July 2005 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

I reckon it'll be an eviction match-up of Craig vs Orlaith this week, based on the increasingly irritating Team Yawn's pronouncement that O is two-faced (read: she has the ability to be friendly to various different people).

― darren (darren), Sunday, 3 July 2005 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

I am becoming increasingly annoyed by the house's tit fixation, especially since the focal points of it are Orlaith's freakily unnatural looking wrongboobs.

― RickyT (RickyT), Sunday, 3 July 2005 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

Orlaith seems fascinated by her own boobs, maybe more so than anyone else.

Maxwell came out of the highlights show well, surprise surprise.

Craig to Anthony: "Did you fuck her?" How the hell don't you know, freaky-man-tit-boy, you were in the pool with them at the time! Makosi and Orlaith's girlie chat in the bathroom "he kept asking me did you come, I was trying to get myself off but couldn't" etc was also horrifying. GET THESE PEOPLE OFF MY TELLY! (yes, I know, I could turn over, but...)

RickyT OTM about Derek in the diary room. Craig is like a lovesick teenager over Anthony, and I don't think he's equipped to deal with it.

Has Vanessa done *anything* yet?

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

I keep forgetting she's there.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

The mister has hardly seen any of Big Brother but caught the end of the highlights show. Makosi & Orlaith, Orlaith & Anthony, Makosi & Anthony, Orlaith & Craig...he was all like "why do you watch this?".

I wish I could have answered him.

Horrible thought. Imagine if Sam and/or Lesley had been involved in naked jacuzzi wrongness. Yeuch. I'm not even thinking about Saskia because I'm still mentally scarred from that photo aldo posted of her topless.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

NO (more) NAKED JACUZZI!

― MichelleT (RickyT), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

I felt sorry for some of them

I would not be suprised if eugene wasn't border line autistic or at least aspergic (sp?). Has this been discussed?

― Nush, Thursday, 14 July 2005 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

What - just cause he's a bit nerdy? I think the diagnosis of Asperger's is thrown about a bit freely these days. Eugene seems to be able to pick up on social cues etc. well enough.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 14 July 2005 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think Science is as much of a write off as some think. He's rather Bez-like and Bez can't have won Celeb BB just on the back of aging ravers and the Manchester bloc vote.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 14 July 2005 13:01 (nineteen years ago)

Eastern Bloc vote.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 14 July 2005 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

Bloc Party vote.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 14 July 2005 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

Science is a good dark horse to be on, my feeling is that this week's process eviction process is bad for him in the long run. His best bet was to be put up for eviction with a stream of lame horses (Craig, Vanessa, Orlaith) so eventually people started to put some cognitive dissonance as in "I voted for him, I must like him". This week will throw out 1 no-hoper, which may mean that he has to go up against Anthony or Kemal a bit soon.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 14 July 2005 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

I dont see anyone stopping Anthony now!

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 14 July 2005 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

as in "I voted for him, I must like him"

At this stage, people are voting against people, not for them, so I don't think this really works, except for maybe when it's just two people up.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 14 July 2005 13:20 (nineteen years ago)

Science is actually quite boring most of the time, I think. Yesterday's commentary being an exception.

PREDICTION - The first lie was that Big Brother will tell two lies this week. The third lie will be that the housemates are voting for who they want to save, rather than who they want to evict. That would be k-classic.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 14 July 2005 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

Matt, you are an evil genius. Send that to Endemol in case they haven't thought of it and their plan all goes wrong.

grimly, I don't think you are really right now in a position to be bringing up ILXors' past connections with minor celebs, given other revelations from that same night in the pub, are you?

(xpost back to 9.22am)

Shit, we're back to Kemal singing Flower of Scotland again. Thankfully Marcus Bentley is talking over him.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 July 2005 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

Crikey, that was some bad singing. Possibly even worse than mine.

― RickyT (RickyT), Thursday, 14 July 2005 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

And as stated above, we need a catacylsmic event to start a new thread. Maybe start a new one for the eviction show tomorrow?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 14 July 2005 20:18 (nineteen years ago)

Makosi and Derek really have no rhythm or sense of timing at all, do they?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 14 July 2005 20:21 (nineteen years ago)

Kemal "shake it like it's hot, oh, I mean drop it. Drop it like it's hot. Shake it like..., er, ..."

Kemal in "only person in the world not to have heard Hey Ya shockah!"

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 July 2005 20:30 (nineteen years ago)

Craig and Anthony are the best thing about this now by a fucking mile. And yet I still don't want either of them to win.

I actually can't believe how stupid all the housemates bar Science actually are. Have they forgotten this whole two lies thing already? What exactly are they expecting to happen?

Interesting then that he probably won't (and hasn't thus far) attract the same amount of ire from people as Maxkia did for their comments or allusions. Granted he IS more likeable than Maxkia generally, but still.

From DS:

Big Brother have sent a message to the housemates this morning.

The words 'There Is A Mole In The House' have been scrawled in lipstick on a garden mirror near the lounge area. The housemates, however, are oblivious to it's existence and continue to walk past it.

Hmm. Well we already know what the two lies are, don't we? Which implies this is true. So which one? Derek? Makosi? Or have they just hidden a cuddly mole behind the sofa or something?

― JimD (JimD), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:47 (nineteen years ago)

Jim, I think you have got it. (Cuddly mole, that is!)

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

The housemates, however, are oblivious

how the producers refrain from zooming in there and punching them all repeatedly is a source of constant amazement to me.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:56 (nineteen years ago)

Makosi is toast manifest, she doesn't know it yet though.

Vanessa will most probably go this week as in tests most housemates like her less than Makosi. But, noms next week, assuming normality, will have her up against anyone, and I think we can assume all the people who rang in to evict Vanessa will ringintoevict Makosi next week.

Ah, I think we have our new thread title...
