Big Brother House – it’s finale week – you are live on ITV2 – please do not swear.
Congratulations to the finalists, and to everyone who has survived the “Woooooah Mr Vegas” guy featured in every ad break. I don’t mind him, but the internet says otherwise.
We’re here to talk finalists, the probabilities of each to see who really has the edge going into the final, and revealing our winner prediction.
Fan Favourite vs Bookies’ Favourite
Meet the Housemates Before We Say Goodbye
The Big Brother Love Story We All Wanted
Big Brother Winner odds
With the shocking sudden evictions of [spoiler!] Marcus and Teja on the penultimate episode and the departure of Sam, Nancy, and Caroline last week, the bookmakers’ heads have had a wobble. But that hasn’t stopped fans scrambling to place a bet on who’ll take home the crown.
Below is the latest look at the current winning odds:
*Odds accurate at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
Fan Favourite vs Bookies’ Favourite
Look at the bookies data above. Are they watching the same show as the viewers? Richard has 1/6 odds. A quick look at social media polls and comments shows that Jenny is fan favourite. She survived a double eviction, found her voice (literally), and her humour has won us all over.
That gap between “who people talk about” and “who people bet on” has defined much of this series. If public sentiment drifts more towards Jenny, don’t be surprised if the odds tighten drastically or even flip before the winner is crowned.

Meet the Housemates Before We Say Goodbye
Jenny
The bubbly make-up artist from Derry has been a fan-fave from day one, loving her no-nonsense honesty (like that time she admitted she was worried about Elsa’s demon sightings). Why people love her:
- her strong outfit game, from velour tracksuits to eviction night glam
- she”s normalising the bedtime face cream and hair curlers look
- Fun fact: she has a gastric sleeve and her stomach gurgles when she drinks tea
Tate
Male strip business owner Tate is a chiseled, Bible-reading, Scottish adonis who has given us:
- a laugh unlike any we’ve ever heard before
- bad catching skills when fry up items are being tossed at him from less than two metres away
- Fun fact: he has a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
Emily
Emily is a political events manager. Evicted on the first night, she returned a few weeks later in a plot twist and has (mostly) managed to join the gang under difficult circumstances. Unafraid of awkward discussions, she:
- has an “energy, energy, energy” attitude which riles some housemates the wrong way
- admitted she was eternally single
- Fun fact: Marcus voted her “most jarring” housemate
Cameron
Generally well-liked Cameron is an arable farmer from Somerset. He seems genuine, thoughtful, and has so far managed to dodge the drama. He is:
- proud to represent British farming
- already a finalist, beating Jenny to win a ticket to Friday night’s final
- Fun fact: he went to boarding school
Elsa
The other half of the BB love story this season, Elsa from Essex admitted she was a witch and sees demons (which went down like a lead ballon with some housemates). She is:
- a 21 year old content creator and social media personality
- she has been candidly honest about her adoption story
- Fun fact: she must be creative – she made Teja a purple bunny out of socks for her birthday
Richard
Writer and composer Richard was a late addition to the house, joining as one of four newbies after launch. He is considered to be:
- a rather unique housemate and very much Marmite
- he’s never been in a relationship, never married
- Fun fact: he’s older than all the others, preferring to go to bed and to get up earlier than everybody else
The Big Brother Love Story We All Wanted
While critics shouting “shomance” and the fact even he has claimed he’s “a bit of a flirt”, Marcus and Elsa have somehow managed to make a genuine connection. What started as late-night chats under the shared covers blossomed into this season’s defining love narrative.
Even though Marcus looked skeptical at Elsa’s claims about demons in the house, he defended her against Jenny in the diary room which we found quite sweet of him. They’ve made pancakes for each other, they’ve shared a private dinner together in the garden (slightly weirded out by the fact Marcus cut up Elsa’s food for her, but hey, love is love), and they’ve discussed what life might look like for them as a couple from different parts of the country after Big Brother.
Whether it lasts outside the house is anyone’s guess, but for now, they’re providing the wholesome love story we all wanted.
Well, they were, before Marcus got booted out on Thursday’s episode.

Our Final Finale Verdict
Big Brother is a divisive show. Some fans are die-hard, watching every iteration including celebrity versions, while others claim it ruined television. And yet, it endures. Starting in 2000, hopping all over the box, from Channel 4 to Channel 5 and now finding new life on ITV2.
As for our WhichBingo prediction:
We’ve got to go with the odds on this one: Richard. He’s been heavily backed for weeks (though he only had 5% chance of winning back in our Big Brother 2025: Shock Twists, New Contestants, And Who’s Most Likely To Win piece in early October.
Whoever wins, if anything, Big Brother 2025 has reminded me to remind you that we have an honest Mr Vegas review (and don’t be surprised if you see the ad in our WhichBingo Awards 2026 Best Ad category….)
