I just saw a thread that said Calum is pretty much level with KH as bookies favourite, yet, in tonight's show Hopkins got booed by the crowd. I guess the crowd can be a bit like rent a mob...not sure though.

I have never gauged the accuracy of bookies comparing it to the BB crowd... anyone been following which tends to be more accurate - bookies or the crowd?

With all the cheers that Michelle was getting tonight, I would say the bookies are a bit more clued up.

OK thanks. I had no way of appraising it. So that means the crowd booing Hopkins tonight counts for very little?

Neither. They both get it wrong as often as each other.

I have to agree.

It's become interesting as the number of votes has got less over the year and is more volatile and unpredictable. If you really want to know-and as a viewer I'm happy not to know as the finals night is pretty pointless if you "know".
The crowd -the betting -online polls-your own intuition on history are all good information and if they all suggest a similar result then it adds up.
Two comments-.On evictions a close contest (two close in the mix)often results in the second favourite to be evicted when the contest is announced going rather than the immediate bookies favourite. It's close this year-my suspicion is that KP is a decent" price" at 7-1 and will do better than anticipated at least.
