Official 2012 Big Brother thread

[Chompy]

I wondered what effect a game-player winning last year would have and it's made a massive difference. Now everyone wants to 'play the game'.

But Aaron was also entertaining and funny at times, and this is not the USA. Game-players will never hold mass-appeal over here.

By process of elimination I'm back to where I was on the first night, with Luke A, but not at 4/1.

The edit will have a massive say again and, same as the previous two series, they're soon going to be running out of females. Shievonne, Ashleigh and Deana can't win and I'm not backing Rebecca with anyone's money. Actress is pretty close to the mark with her.

I can't see girls voting for Lauren and think the positive edit will end up aimed at either Sara or Caroline. Have to wait and see with that.

Luke A or Lauren FTW imo.  Sara might hang on til the end, but can't see her winning.  Caroline is funny in a train wreck sort of way...cringe.

Thoughts please -

I'm leaning towards one of LUSH winning.

"Bullies" and "dulls" take it in turn getting voted off and we're left with the likes of Caroline, Shievonne, Adam, Becky and LUSH. Surely at that point only LUSH can get the funny and likeable edits?
He's not involved in the game playing like the other lads and she didn't know a chicken came from an egg.
Winning combo for me.

[Horneris]

Lauren or Luke S for me. Hoping he comes out of the shadows a bit when Conor goes because hes genuinely a nice guy.

Did not expect Arron to go, big shock

[Horneris]

zzzzzzzzzz the public vote out the wrong people every week. Arron was very entertaining.

Becky will just sit on her bed stuffing her face for another week.

[Chompy]

Time for an interest...

Sara @ 10-1 or bigger. Honest, pretty, sticks to her morals, gawd bless the Queen Mother, gets emotional when she's had a few, independant, not tied to one group, easy to watch, natural, bit of a sense of humour, girly enough for the girls to vote for, proud to be British (Scotch) and loves the royal family. Can't find any negatives with her tbh and she's unlikely to be put up for eviction in the foreseeable.

The only other girls with any chance are Deana and Lauren. I do like Lauren but the girls just aren't going to vote for her. And that laddy laugh! Urgh.

Deana halved in price last night after getting most votes in the Deana-Aaron-Conor-Beccy vote. I get the feeling she was winning a race akin to a Ripon seller and then being asked to run in a Classic. False market move imo. Too aloof and princessy to win.

I wouldn't back any of those at single-figure prices. Luke A just hasn't done enough and is very unlikely to step it up now, while the longer it goes on the more Adam will go into prison mode. He's ultimately a bit scary. And he's American, which is a no-no.

[Horneris]

Good analysis.

I don't see Adam, Deana or Luke A as likely winners either.

I think Lauren is strong, think that girls may vote for her due to her vulnerability. Sara seems a good shout for all the reasons mentioned, she just seems a bit dull, you wouldn't know shes been in there really. But she may come on into more prominence now and grow into the edit and with all the non players the bet seems a good one.

Also think Luke S has a chance but probably will just about fall short. People may see it as refreshing that it says hes on the show to win to improve his life out loud instead of the usual I don't care about the money bla bla. And he seems a nice lad.

Becky might have a shout too but I fucking hope not. She is disgusting, stuffs her face 24/7 and says how much she enjoys eating and doesn't care about being fat then as soon as she is asked to wear a pair of trousers starts crying to the world about how shes too fat for trousers.

what do u reckon on Caroline Chomps? She defo has some bad points, but some of the things she does are pretty funny and she's quite sweet most of the time. Her reaction to the bitchy statements played back (where she had to guess who said things about her) for the team task were brilliant, where half of them got really annoyed and taken aback, she was told someone said she's the bitchiest person they've ever met or whatever and she just burst out laughing. Are u, or anyone, keeping records of who's voting for who each week, there's some who have not had one vote so far (I would guess), Sara probs one of them to be fair, have had a little interest in her on your saying. Aaron going was good for her too

[millidonk]

Caroline has made it to my hate list: Andy Murray, Russell Brand and Caroline. She is an utter scumbag and a massive bully. Not even sure she will be able to exit through the front as the hatred is strong for her. As soon as the house put her up she will be out.

Like Lauren a lot, Luke S is a nice guy just a bit boring, think Scott is pretty com and can see him doing very well, stood up for himself well and seems to get on with most ppl. Rapscalian ftw.

[Josedinho]

Urgh, chomps is the BB oracle so I have to back this but I think she's really dull. Happy to be against those at the top of the market though.
Still hoping for a Luke S win tho.

[Chompy]

So far I've just had a few small bets, Luke A @ 16-1, Lauren @ 16-1, Benny Dicked @ 14-1 and, the biggest so far, Sara @ 14-1 and 12-1.

The head of the market is so weak. I'll probably add Luke S and Scott to the portfolio as trades today.

Scott can't win coz he's posh but still fancy there's a market move in him. There's a bit more to Luke S than it first appeared but the show-mance with that Essex atrocity won't work in his favour.

Caroline has been a big disappointment. She's such a product. Ben Duncan knows her and said she'd be good for comedy in the house on BOTS, but she's just an utter, non-stop bitch. That probably helped her get to top dog status at Roedean or wherever, but she's got zero chance in this imo.

*No trading of Scott, just not gonna happen

[sovietsong]
