After the third walkout from the house this series, the second in the last week, bookmakers have slashed odds on the series being axed midway through according to a report in The Sun. Even the housemates have talked about a mass walkout with Siavash saying it would be “the coolest thing on telly.”

Last night Sophie almost walked after getting bored in the house, she decided to stick it out however saying, “Eventually I’m going to be out so I’ll enjoy my time here.”

Odds on the show being moved from its Channel4 slot were slashed from 5/1 to 2/1 after Tom’s departure.

Coral bookmakers spokesman Gary Burton told The Sun, “This series has been awful, turnover is at an absolute minimum. With new entries and three walkouts already it has been a nightmare to bet on. By lumping on the show to be removed, punters have obviously had enough.”

The news comes as Friday’s “non-eviction” show was down by almost 1 million viewers week on week.

Core fans however think this is one of the better Big Brother series with 51% in our poll disagreeing with Marcus’ view that this is the worst Big Brother yet.

It's a shame - I think this series has been pretty good so far, not sure why it's not getting the viewers it deserves Frowner

Oh how sad am I for what this show has become? Crying
It's hard to stay positive about it this year, the l/f has been a major problem for me. I'd watch round the clock on the secret channel, and then see how BB would edit it for the h/l show, and try and manipulate viewer's, Roll Eyes but there was always a good buzz!

2/1! I would be surprised if its still on by Friday Smiler

I have now got into this years HMs after a shakey start, that said I only like Freddie and Sophie. Freddie is always with Bea and she is getting on my nerves. Sophie just looks like she wants to curl up in bed and sleep till its over.

Probably wouldn't miss them if it finished early.

It is lack of LF thats caused the problem.

LF...yep. Though in typical C4 'cut nose off to spite face' stylee, they'd never admit that.

For me, it's been the worst series ever and not just due to lack of LF. The HMs are almost exclusively obnoxious and the tasks...cut-price groundhog day.

because it has no live feed, without it there is no forum buzz and little or no press coverage and so nothing much to talk about with others, the result is that it doesnt encourage anyone else to watch.

you see what ch4 have missed is that its OPINION that drives big brother not straight facts, "tom has walked" is just a fact as fed to the press by ch4, but with a full live feed all the lead up to it would have been on the forums and lots of differing opinions about it would have driven the news instead.

without the feed the connection between viewers and contestants is lost.

I think you're spot on; the GBP goss (even about the banal stuff) keeps it vital.
