Does anyone else have a clue?!

I can't say I'm overly enamoured by the lot left in there.
I think it's going to be my least favourite final line-up ever.

But the one mildly exciting thing about this series at the mo, is that I really don't know who's going to win.
I know what the bookies are saying, but I just can't see anyone having a huge enough fanbase at this stage to win.

There's no-one in there that I particularly want to win to be honest.
Maybe Lisa. But she won't...
Or maybe Rachel. Just to annoy Rex...

Hmmmm. Any ideas?!

I'd be surprised if Mikey did, you'd expect a bookies favourite to at least have some support on the forums etc. but he barely has any. Darnell's too volatile, Kat's going backwards...maybe it is Rachel's year after all? Personally I'd love that, see how many pissed off ex HMs there'd be, and probably a certain gurning presenter too :)

Will the World be set alight by any of them winning d'you think?

Exactly.... whoever wins, I can't envisage there being loads of "Oh, didn't they deserve to win!" posts....

Rubbish!!

Are you requiring the winner be a pyromaniac Cam?

In which case my monies on Lisa.

I prefer it like this... I'm sure in the final week many will be nailing their colours to one HM's mast or another.

Its never good to have a straight favourite from week one and then lots whining about how rubbish BB has become because a personally favoured HM has been evicted early or worse the public favourite goes on to win.

I like surprises and we're nearly at the point where any of them remaining deserve to win. They might not be universally loved, but this year none of them will be universally hated.

Fact is, for every reason you can find for someone winning, there's another perfectly good reason (or twelve) why they shouldn't. As such, not many people will be happy with the result, whoever wins. One thing I will say though is that you can't look back on the evictees and go 'boy, did we ever make a mistake in getting rid of them, what a great winner they'd have made!' IMO.

You don't need to specify which kind of maniac she'd be - the generic is fine for her.

And another thing, the 'didn't deserve to win' phrase will be thrown round a lot, but I've come to the conclusion that if a HM can get enough people to vote for them through their actions (or by being a gimmick like Brian BB8) over several weeks then they probably do 'deserve' to win. Now being a 'worthy' winner, that's a different matter entirely... ;)

Yes

If they 'deserve' it, haven't they been a 'worthy' winner?

No, because I'd class that more on the entertainment value they provided to me as a viewer. For example, I'm backing Rachel at the moment, but that's based on the fact that I think she's conducted herself in a good manner and got a good spirit. Is that really enough to qualify her as a 'worthy' winner of BB? Probably not, I'd hope for a little more from a BB winner than that (see Brian BB2 or Anna BB1 (if she'd won) for instance). It's not like she's got me tuning in each night going 'I can't wait to see what Rachel's got up to today!' But as it is, she's the best option available to me so that'll have to do.

To further elaborate - Anthony BB6. Deserved to win because he got more votes than anyone else in the final. Worthy winner? Thick as two short planks and would have been an also ran if he wasn't chased around by Craig Coates for several weeks, so no, not for me.

Why should it, though? It's only a gameshow. ;)

And it's 'only 100K' - okay, I wouldn't sniff at that amount of money, but for being exposed on primetime t.v. for 13 weeks, it's not an outrageously large sum.

I think it's preferable if the winner is someone who you wouldn't be ashamed to let loose on the media, someone who has shown by their behaviour in the house that they possess positive characteristics, and can be relied upon not to get into a fisticuffs on 'This Morning' while waiting to have their 3 minute slot the Monday after BB ends. Maybe it's a terribly old-fashioned notion, but someone who could be an ambassador for BB.

But after that, it doesn't really matter if the person never appears on television again, or never graces the covers of the gossip mags, or delights us on Page 3 showing off their new boob job.

If they can acquit themselves in the show, and by the way they behave for the couple of weeks afterwards, when they are contracted to the media stuff, then haven't they done enough?
