The online polls at several forums have Mario to go, with about a 55%/45% split. I'll be so happy if Mario goes!

Me too! Rebecca is annoying but Mario is evil. I can't believe the way he tried to control Lisa's behavior - and he wasn't even nice about it.

Mario is finally showing his true colors... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother9/a108920/mario-tells-lisa-she-is-a-laughing-stock.html (I normally wouldn't encourage this- but I hope Mario and Lisa break up over this- she doesn't deserve a guy like him) The odds BTW- Mario 2/5, Rebecca 7/4...

He's also (apparently) just told Lisa she's nothing if he goes. She'll be so much better without him in the house and she could definitely do better in life. I never understand odds, Wilson, does that mean Mario is more likely to go than Rebecca or the other way round?

He really is a big <self moded>! I bet he doesn't complain when she cleans up after him at home. I also don't understand the odds, but I read that he is projected to go by a slight margin in the polls. She could do so much better than him. She has a lot of patience. I would have exploded at him the first week when it became apparent that she isn't allowed to talk unless it's to agree with something he's said.

Mario is more likely to go Kitt... 2/5 means you have to bet 5 units to win 2 units- for a total of 7 units (the original 5 plus the 2). 7/4 means you risk 4 units to win 7 for a total of 11 (your original 4 plus 7). The odds are set in order to try to get the people to bet evenly (to minimize the risk to the bookies). Thus, the higher the odds, the fewer people think the event will happen, so they have to set those higher odds to get people to wager the other way. Mario is getting more money bet on him, so the bettors are saying Mario will go as of now because his odds are lower (worse than even money in fact)...

Thanks for the explanation. I so hope this doesn't change before Friday, because I think he thinks he's safe, after being "saved" twice in the past.

He's counting on his 14 million fans to save him. If he is booted out, he will blame people trying to break up the couple. He won't accept that it might just be his own behavior.

a lot will depend on if they show his telling off of Lisa on the daily show...if they do that, he's gone probably...

Watching Epi. 31 today made my day. I loved when Darnell and Dale were acting as BB and asking Kat questions. So cute how they ended it. Gee, from reading here, it sounds as if Mario might be the one to go. I was hoping Rebecca would go. Mario might have wanted to handle his nomination a little better. I see his lecturing Lisa as a way of getting out his frustrations on those he's closest to. Not fair for her.

There is just something about him that gets on my last nerve. He thinks he is all that! I think he needs to quit Judging everyone else and look in the mirror at his True self!

I think the Irish Jig task will be something to watch in tomorrow's show. The costumes for the girls look really funny. Unfortunately they've failed the task, but really, all those steps in just 24 hours, it would be pretty impossible to pass. They did get alcohol for trying so hard.

I'm watching today's Highlights show and Mario's giving Belinda such a hard time over the snoring. As usual tact isn't his strong suit. I feel really bad for her, she can't help it, but it must be awful for the others. Sara is annoying me a bit, I think she might be all right when you get used to her, but at the moment she seems a bit full on. And Lisa sounds so mad at Mario, then when BB ask her about it, she says the cracks are starting to show, but he's a really great bloke and that he deserves to stay! To me he really is looking bad, I don't think there was one clip of him doing something nice.

the only nice that man does is to butter someone up..even his helping Mikey was to endear himself to the public.. I want him out..i think the way he has been speaking to Lisa borders on verbally abusive. (you are nothing without me..you are weak...ect.) he moans and whinges about everything..he is the fakest housemate in there...magistrate my fanny ..22 years in the post office 7 in the army time as a magistrate acting ect..the man is a billybullshiner if there was ever one..he is up to his neck in cowmanure

One of the interviews with one of his exes described him as a fantasist, and he really is. And I think Lisa believes most of what he says. On one of the highlights clip he said he was a magistrate (as you mentioned, Kellee) and then earlier on, according to DS, Lisa was trying to defend Mario's opinion and mentioned he was a magistrate, and he said no he wasn't. It's like he's told so many lies he can't keep them straight. He's a psychologist's dream.

Quick Question.... I'm not watching this season of BBUK, but I am a big fan of of the celeb edition and have seen them all. Could someone tell me if it's true they will be bringing the original celebrity format next season? (That celeb hijack replacement sucked the big one as far as I am concerned...lol)

I heard it will be back in 2009, Naja, in the original format. I don't think they'll do the hijack again, although I quite liked it.

First link I click on at Digital Spy this morning says that now Mario has made Rachel cry by calling her a "spineless jellyfish." What a charmer. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother9/a109541/rachel-cries-after-mario-comments.html

The oddsmakers have Mario going pretty much a cert- Mario 1-7 Rebecca 4-1 (and I'd bet money that in the half-hour or so between the eviction announcement and the time Mario actually leaves- Mario will try to bully Lisa into walking out with him)...

Yeah, I think he will too. He'll say the press and so on will be so much better if the two of them leave together. I'm surprised he isn't working on her already, but I guess he really doesn't believe he's going. He's promised he's going to tell some people some home truths on his way out, if he's evicted. It'll be interesting to see what he does, if anything. This season has been weird. I so wanted Sylvia out. Then I so wanted Jenn out. Now I so want Mario out. Usually someone you want to stay goes early on. Or maybe I'm counting my Mario chickens before they hatch. Oh, and strangely BBLB and BBBM both seem to still think Rebecca is leaving. Weird. But then Zezi still talks about the much loved Jenn without a hint of sarcasm.

Luke and Rebecca have finally kissed! Rebecca is a bit drunk but clearly still in control of the situation. They are now talking about whether they should never speak of it again or just do it again! Although I don't like Luke, and Rebecca is so irritating at times, I am kind of fascinated by their unlikely relationship. It really does seem to be very mutual and caring, and they are clearly fond of each other, despite each other's peculiarities.

Well today Mario is very confident, outwardly at least, that he's staying. He's said they should bring Rebecca back on Wednesday for Luke's birthday and have her jump out of a big cake. Nice idea but a bit presumptuous to actually say to her face! I'll post the eviction this afternoon, again as long as the streaming holds out.

I'm about a week behind, but it's good to read that Mario is up. I hope he goes tonight. It will be interesting to see how Lisa interacts with everyone without him.

It certainly will. I really don't know how she is, she seems very independent in many ways but then she sometimes just seems to believe all the rubbish he says. I think she'll mix ok but when it comes to preferences in later evictions no one will have that close bond with her, so she'll be nominated a lot. I can't see her causing offense on her own. Rumour has it there will be a twist of some sort over the weekend. Not sure what, but nothing to do with this eviction.
