Now that we are halfway through the ninth series of Big brother, there should be a few potential winners emerging, shouldn’t there? Let’s have a quick look at who could nab the final prize money.

In the first couple of weeks the favourites seemed to be Kat, Mickey and Rex, but at the midway point these characters seem tiresome and boring, not at all what they seemed at the beginning. And let’s just rule out Mohammed, Darnel and Rachel right now!

As the weeks go on Luke is emerging as a more likeable character. Even though he stirs things up within the house, moving from one group to another, he is amusing and entertaining. Even Rebecca, someone who very nearly became evicted a couple of weeks ago, is showing herself to be quite entertaining! 

Although Rex seems to be a more likeable character – so what if he is arrogant, self – righteous and a little self-involved? He is so blatant about it you can’t help but like him!

So much has happened in the series so far - two people thrown out, a love square, fight-night, and the three new housemates - it is hard to imagine that we have still loads more to come. But you never know, in three weeks time Lisa could be the bookies favourite to win!
