Why Carole's the real winner
Posted by Jane Murphy
First, a disclaimer: I am genetically programmed to back losers. So with the same driving force that compels me to wander into the bookies at the start of every footie season and stick a tenner on Crystal Palace to win the FA Cup, I must urge you all to vote for Carole to win Big Brother.
OK, I know she doesn't have a chance in hell - but hear me out. She may moan, snipe and harbour a bizarre obsession with piccalilli, but Carole has displayed real warmth and strength of character throughout the entire series. Remember, she's more than 20 years older than everyone else. She doesn't possess the instant people-pleasing qualities of youth and beauty, but she's still made good friends in there and has shown she can empathise with other people.
She may also have done more than her fair share of the cooking and cleaning - but that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it? It might not make scintillating TV, but somebody's got to clean the toilet.
And while I'm backing outsiders, a quick word about latecomer Jonty. Again, youth and looks aren't on his side - but his good nature and game-for-anything attitude have seen him join the likes of Eugene and Jon Tickle in the not-very-long list of Big Brother's great British eccentrics. For this, at least, he deserves a huge cheer when he leaves the house tomorrow.
It's characters like Carole and Jonty that make the show worth watching. They're unique. They're surprising. If they put their heads together, they could be dead certs for the Christmas No.1 single. In fact, I might nip down to the bookies and stick a few quid on them both now...
charlie to come back into the house and win!

I love all the final housemates, however I do want Carol to win because Liam already has 100,000 pound, Ziggy, Twins and Brian will do well out of the show, Jonty not been in long enough.

Dont let carole win she does not deserve it.Her infatuation with ziggy makes me feel sick.She thinks she owns the house and her miserable moanings have made me switch off.Ziggy to win he deserves it for having to put up with moaning minny

I haven't forgotten how vile Carole can be. Personally I think the whole BB8 has been spoilt by her being there. Too efficient and seeing everyone was fed and watered and 'under control' knocked a lot of fun viewing out of the show.
The TWINS TO WIN. Charm and innocence that has been heartwarming and fun to watch.

I think people vote for Brian because he stood up to Charley and was the last guy to have a main argument with her. This admiration for him was emphasised by Big Bro because it was also his big brother the movie character! I do think he is alright and say funny things but I still think he's insisted a bit too much with Amanda which is not on. I mean come on the girl said no, she wants to be a mate, I know a guy that use to be around me like this and I know when you want to stay friend it does make you feel uncomfortable..these things should happen naturally plus I think he just plays dum..He's pretty clever as far as I'm concerned. I don't understand why people vote for him more than Liam..L is so gorgeous and nice! ( he also told Charley where to go). Liam is a sweetheart and women are naturally attracted to him..he knows how to draw the line between when to make a move and not I would like the twins to win..two girls people should be proud off..not many like them left in the UK or abroad. They are funny, always on the move, smile all the time and ever so nice to everyone, they know how to have fun but didn't lose their dignity in the process. PINK DOUBLE RULES!

Please, please, dont let carol win. She is a conniving old women who manipulates people and situations to her benefit. She slagged chanelle off until she eventually walked, (remember when she refused to talk to her and chanelle had not done anything?) yet she did not impose the same treatment on Ziggy.... Oops, she got her way agan, another one gone. Remember recently when Liam Ziggy and Carol had been talking about nominations? they got punished, but she stayed in the diary room and tried to blame other people, and disclaimed herself....liar, when she realised that BB would not accept this, she walked out and in front of cameras, started blaming ziggy, and oh for the sympathy vote she started crying again.....for a change I dont think. Yet we all saw that she was laughing in the conversation about the nominations. Lets have someone nice to win not coniving old women... Brian or the twins to win!!

yeh good idea for a commercial but for cleaning products. And a cookbook.
Oh yeh
Posted by: Jess | 30 August 2007 at 17:12
I thought Carole at first, then she went soooo moany - she's good in the house, a real Mum that the 'kids' fall out with now and then. But not to win....she'll get bags of money when she leaves - lets face it she has to be worth a commercial for picallili!!!!!! BRIAN TO WIN!!!!!!!!!

Ziggy to win.Ok he may not be that pleasant a person but he has played the game brilliantly(lets not forget its a game with a £100,000 prize).Hes had the romance, the tears, the self sacrificing and the trying to be nice to all.Hes even tried to cause confrontation and arguments.With 40/1 on offer at the bookies its got to be worth a £ each way.
