Hmmm. Watching bits of the show right now and I can't help but agree with the conspiracy theorists that something was very, very amiss with the finale.
Minor carnage over at the
Betfair and Digital Spy forums.
It's the first Big Brother show where the huge odds-on favourite
DID NOT win (unless you count Bez overhauling Kenzie back in Celebrity Big Brother 3).
Davina wears a red dress (6/1 for Davina to wear something red) instead of her usual black attire (black was a 1/6 shot). Jonty finishes sixth (he was available at 2/1+ to do so) instead of Carole (she was at least 1/3 to finish sixth).
I can't imagine the losses
Paddy Power must have endured. Gawd knows how many other markets the bookies/punters might have clobbered on.
Did the bookies get it very, very wrong or were the results of the show manipulated? I'm inclined to say the latter and that the insiders got their freak on.
Big Brother 8 - Final thoughts
) will realise that they don't just sit on a cashcow and will have to make some major changes for the next year..
