Feature: 'Big Brother' The Final Five
Big Brother 10 comes to its grand conclusion tonight and although there may not be as many viewers as in previous series, for loyal followers it should be an exciting evening with, for the first time in years, any result seeming possible. Glamour model Sophie Reade is the bookmakers' favourite, but all the Final Five have considerable and dedicated fans so don't be too shocked if there are a couple of surprises in store when Davina reads out the eviction order! Digital Spy will have all the breaking news from Elstree as it happens this evening, but for the time being, we've compiled a handy guide to help you decide where your valuable phone bill money should be going.


Charlie Drummond

Best Bit His kiss declaration of love for Rodrigo.
Worst Moment Rodrigo brands him "nasty" after a late-night prank gone wrong.
DS Verdict The housemates have considered Charlie the clear favourite from the moment they walked in the house. However, the Geordie Customer Service Advisor hasn't proved as popular in polls outside the compound, with some commentators and former housemates claiming that he is "fake" and trying to hard to love everyone. His strop in the 'Single Ladies' Task may have ruined any remaining chances of a win. His on-off romance with Rodrigo has been more off than on in recent weeks and he's the definite outsider to take the crown.


David Ramsden

Best Bit Heading into the outside world dressed as an alien.
Worst Moment Losing his best pal Lisa in the final week.
DS Verdict David has made great strides in a short amount of time with the viewing public and has even won the support of celebrity fan Robbie Williams. The Dewsbury fashionista's unbridled enthusiasm for tasks (The 'Single Ladies' task was hilarious), challenges and strains of living inside Big Brother have won him respect, while only his peculiar attachment to the unpopular Brummie Lisa has held him back from being a clear frontrunner. With Lisa now out of the way, he could be a contender, but he may have left it a little too late to stake his claim.


Rodrigo Lopes

Best Bit Meeting 'the Queen'
Worst Moment Any of his shopping list strops.
DS Verdict From the moment he ran into the Diary Room for the opening night challenge from Big Brother (shaving off Noirin's eyebrows), the Brazilian student has been a hot favourite with the bookmakers to take home the prize money. His squabbles with Charlie and strops over shopping have highlighted dents in his naturally cheery demeanour, but no housemate has been as consistent in character and behaviour as Roddy. His letter and meeting with 'The Queen' may have been a slightly cruel twist from producers, but it also remains a series highlight.


Sophie Reade

Best Bit Her failure in the Geography Task and willingness to be called Dogface.
Worst Moment Her lover Kris becoming the fifth housemate evicted
DS Verdict Sophie has confounded many expectations by being one of the most pleasant and sweet housemates from any Big Brother series, not least by taking the name Dogface for several weeks without whinging like many others would. Her corny and deathly dull showmance with Kris must go down as a major black mark against her, but since he left, she has won fans with her good humour and continual gaffs, such as the Geography Task, her dolphin-friendly tuna chat with Rodrigo and her confusion over whether George W. Bush is a king. Probably the safest bet for a win, but nothing's certain this year.


Siavash Sabbaghpour

Best Bit Playing the King Henry VIII in the Tudor Task or wearing that barrel in the Diary Room.
Worst Moment His kiss with Noirin
DS Verdict Siavash has continually divided the nation with his actions, but his irreverent humour, unique style and willingness to wear silly costumes would make him a worthy victor. He may have blown his relationship on the outside world and also his chances of winning by romancing and kissing Noirin, but the Dubliner's harsh and swift dumping also won him sympathy. His no-nominations policy has had many questioning whether he has a gameplan, but whatever he had plotted it looks like working, as he's the current DS forums favourite to take home the cash prize.
