Or been nice you cynic. (old rolls eyes)

Ollie opens up about his sexuality
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6s6Z-b76QE

He's one of the least offensive people ever, has a good sense of humour and is very good looking. Plus he's male, you can see why he'd be a favourite.

Too early to call it yet, odds aren't too important until at least a few days in.


What was he supposed to do in the first few hours? We haven't even seen a full day yet.

I'm not surprised. While watching the premiere episode, he was someone I thought could win based on first impressions. It's still too soon and anything can still happen. We'll see if he can actually pull it off, but so far I think he can.

He's about the only HM I like. Never seen him before, but he seems like a charming lad.

I liked Ollie in MIC however I do think he has a rather spiteful side to him, he was quite cruel to gabriella at times after they broke up, admittedly she is bonkers but he wasn't very kind for a while

Don't punters always make the pretty boy favourite?

You mean like Charlotte

Being a handsome, well-spoken, polite middle class young man is always popular, but does not necessarily lead to winning by a long chalk.

At the moment I am finding him pleasant, but if the forum fills up with people demonising anyone not prostrate with adoration towards him - yes, I am battle scarred and bitter - I will turn against him and send in rats to bite his ankles.

I like him more than Lee at the moment.

You and me both, us veterans should stick together

I know I’m shallow but I could sit and gaze at him all day long....forever...and ever...and ever...and...you get my drift!

Boy Band members alaways win these things


berlington Bertie 100

always and berlington bertie 100 to 30

go to ladbrokes and put down 30 squid

130 back

boy band members always win

LEE RYAN

Oh yes them well known boy band members charlotte and rylan and before that deniese welch

Ollie just seems like a genuinely nice guy, and the shorter hair defnitely suits him much more, it didn't do anything for him when it was longer and just gave some reason to ridicule him - now you can see his face and he isn't flicking his hair around every five seconds - I prefer Ollie to Lee so far by miles ! (mind you I'd be happy and a really nice person if I had bit of dosh too.... just saying...)

Nice guy, early days still though!
