I've tried but still don't understand odds but anyway I put it out there for those who do to interpret it for us mere mortals.

I can't say what I really think of this awful woman, or I'd get banned. As far as her son is concerned, the apple didn't fall far from the tree #vilepeople
Couldn't agree with you more, Yogi 
It's worrying just how many followers these people have too. Shocking!

It's depressing sometimes when I realise how out of step I must be, when people like her and Steven have followers.

Every year at BB time, I have to get Mr Yogi to explain it to me again.
I don't really get it even when Mr Yogi explains it, it just won't compute I'm a hopeless case.

I wouldn't mess with her!
This has helped me, from DS, someone explains it so even I can understand it 
f you convert the fractional odds to a percentage like this...
Chris 5/2 = 2/(5+2) = 29%
Zoe 1/2 = 2/(1+2) = 67%
Pav 10/1 = 1/(10+1) = 9%
...you get an estimate for the probability of the event happening (according to the betting market). It's not exact because the total will always be more than 100% - 105% in this case - and the difference represents the bookmaker's profit.

You lost me the minute you mentioned fractional odds.

Me too 
It's bad enough to get evicted , but to get evicted due to the sort of campaign C5 have waged this week is a travesty 
But , if he does leave he will be the first HM to be able to leave with his head held high !!!

If he manages to stay it will be a kick in the teeth to the vile Goode clan who've been waging a detestable campaign on Twitter to get him out! I loathe these Twitter campaigns They are so unfair.
I hope that all the support Chris has on FB is a sign he's not going anywhere, Zoe is the least favourite on there

They'll probably rile people up so they to vote Zoe out/Save Chris? The Goodes and their antics aren't liked, surely?

Keeping everything crossed and voting for Zoe.

I don't really understand bookie's odds but hubby tried to explain it to me this way:
In Zoe's case, if you put on ÂĢ2 you only get ÂĢ1 back (plus your stake), in Chris's case, if you put on ÂĢ4 you would get ÂĢ9 (plus stake) and in Pav's case you would get ÂĢ9 for a ÂĢ1 bet (plus stake), if they were to be evicted. So Zoe is definitely favourite to go atm.
Odds are just fractions - turnthem to a decimal number by dividing the first number by the second number and the one nearest to ZERO is the favourite.
SO:-
Zoe = 1/2 = 0.5
Chris = 9/4 = 2.5
Pav = 9/1 = 9.0
Zoe well in front
