Joel's favourite to go. However as CS says, it's very close - to the extent that the odds really aren't all that meaningful at the moment (and are likely to stay that way).

Current odds on Betfair (to evict):

Joel: 4/7;

Eileen: 5/4

 

[For those not used to betting odds, the way to think about them is as fractions: the smaller the fraction, the more likely the outcome (eviction, in this case). The first number is how much you win if you place an amount equal to the second number, so if you place ÂĢ7 on Joel to be evicted and he is, you win ÂĢ4 (plus your ÂĢ7 stake back). If you bet ÂĢ4 on Eileen and she goes, you win ÂĢ5 (plus ÂĢ4 back) - a comparatively bigger win because she's considered less likely to go.]

Oh no, I don't want Joel to go!

I don't want Joel to go, but I'd rather Danny or Jack had gone before Eileen.

 

Yay !!

 

I got it right

 

I think we both got it the wrong way round!

Every year when BB is on, I have to ask Mr Yogi to explain again how it works!
