GO TERRI!

Terri is deservedly favourite to take out the crown tomorrow night. Betting odds have her as favourite to win on $1.66, followed by Rory on $2.50, and long-shot Ben on $7.00. According to the OS poll, 49% want Terri to win, with the remainder split slightly in Rory's favour.

With Travis gone, Terri's chances are higher, which is good. And with Alice gone, it leaves only 1 totally undeserving person (Ben) left in the House.

If Terri takes it out tomorrow night it will show the producers what they have been doing wrong all this time. Terri has been a real Housemate with life experience, knowledge, opinions, and feelings. A lot of the others were young, dumb, and only cared about number one.

But is it the fact that Terri is so different in age that makes her appealing? Is it because she has gotten along in there while being the odd one out? If they had cast more HMs from varying age groups, would there have been more HMs to love, or would they all just seem the same?

It was definitely Terri's ages difference that made it easy for the others to gang up on her on Day 1 and evict her in the first snap eviction. Thank god BB gave her the second chance and put her back in there.

Since then she has been motherly to all the HMs, but also has become their friend. She has joined in with a lot of their sex talk, played a few games of truth or dare in the spa, and has been tough competition in the Friday Night Games. She has, to her credit, given it her all in that House, and she would make the most deserving winner yet.

GO TERRI!

Alice & Travis Evicted Backwards

In tonight's Eviction Alice was evicted, followed by Travis. When they showed the voting graph, Travis had more votes to go. Really Travis should have been the first one evicted tonight, then Alice. I know the voting closed at the same time and it doesn't matter that much, but it affects the evictee positions for the two of them, who was 5th last, and who was 4th last. They probably did it for the tension, keeping the more popular one in there til later in the show. Just seemed like a strange thing to do.
