During week 2 or 3 of the live shows, Rylan did the commentary for the rest of the contestants as they attempted the crossbar challenge on Soccer AM, back then I was not a fan but thought his banter was decent. Since then he can do no wrong, only problem I can see is he may be too full of himself as he displayed in the Spencer arrival. The backstabbing, maybe hilarious although may grate on those to vote against when it matters.

snap his hand off

I did, he is now in to 6.8 2nd favourite. 

Have been sat playing poker all night, so not sure what he did to cause the drift or for him to come back. 

The guru chompy will be along soon to explain it all.

Probably the layers thought, surely we have got some celebs in this country that can keep this thing in our green and pleasant. And laid him accordingly.

One by one a series of freaks and weirdos were wheeled out and we all realized he had a great chance!!

I've just been sent someone's conspiracy theory about CBB betting, thought you might like to read it:

Inside information at work on Celebrity Big Brother?

Never mind the horse racing. Maybe Chris Bell and the BBC should be looking at the integrity of Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) markets on the exchanges.

Call me a fool but I’ve taken an interest in CBB – currently being aired on . And – call me a nincompoop – I’ve involved myself in one or two of the CBB markets on Betfair. We’re only a few days into the event and I’m already wondering if the playing field is level….

Last night saw the first eviction from the Big Brother house – with 3 participants up for the phone vote: Frankie Dettori, an American couple I’ve never heard of and Paula Hamilton.

I don’t know who knows what when it comes to these phone votes. I’m not sure how the information food-chain is configured, who stands where in its hierarchy or exactly when they get to know the outcome of what the rest of us are betting on.

One thing I do know is that a list of the exchange punters who were backing Paula Hamilton down to odds of 1.01 (1/100) in the minutes leading up to the announcement of the vote result would make for very interesting reading indeed.

In my book it’s 1.01 that at least some of the exchange punters who profited most in the ‘1st Eviction’ market knew the outcome of the phone vote – or at least which way the wind was blowing – sufficiently well in advance of the rest of the market to take advantage on the exchanges.

Making a mockery of fair play….

Looking at the market in the final moments before voting closed was a bit like looking at the death throes of a typical ‘Next Manager’ market – with the prices telling you which guy’s got the job before the official announcement is made.

Sure, there were only 3 up for last night’s vote and Frankie Dettori was nailed on to survive. But to these eyes the American married-couple are/were just as grotesque and depressing as Paula Hamilton and the public had just as many reasons to give them the bullet.

The bottom line is that Hamilton was never a genuine 1.01 shot. It was a much more open contest than that. She was only that price because people who already knew the outcome of the vote were piling on at ever-decreasing odds in the knowledge that they couldn't lose. That’s my contention.

Betfair should be looking into this issue – and identifying punters with an uncanny knack of calling CBB markets correctly in the minutes before a market closes and who demonstrate a willingness to back their view whatever the price. And then Betfair should act accordingly.

If Betfair are not prepared to acknowledge this issue or deal with it appropriately then they should close the markets and refuse to bet on Big Brother events because the situation, as it stands, makes an absolute mockery of fair-play and straight-dealing.

Spencer & Heidi too big @ 20s?

I know they have been clipped in but they are going to get lots of airtime over the next few days so I assume they'll only get shorter...
