Brian favourite to win Big Brother

The housemates have entered the final week

Big Brother contestant Brian is hot favourite to win the series as the remaining four housemates count down the days until the show's grand finale.

The 23-year-old air steward has been given odds of 1-4 to take the prize of £70,000 in the last show on Friday.

Viewers are now voting for who they want to win the contest.

Brian has been favourite to win throughout

The person who polls the least votes by Thursday will be kicked out.

Website designer Elizabeth, 26, is tipped to be the one to be evicted early, with odds of 1-4 being offered on her early departure by bookmakers Paddy Power.

Dean, who was an early favourite to win, is now only third choice to be crowned champion behind Brian and Helen.

Helen, the hairdresser and dance teacher, has kept viewers entertained and the tabloids full with her on-screen antics with fellow housemate Paul.

The 23-year-old was devasted when he was evicted from the house on Friday, after being up against her for the public vote.

Intimate

The pair had grown ever closer as the numbers in the house fell and viewers willed them to take their relationship further.

Despite having a boyfriend on the outside of the house she made a play for the car designer as they shared intimate moments together.

On several occasions he was seen to back off, claiming it would not be fair on her boyfriend and that they would have to wait until they saw each other again on the outside.

Unbeknown to Helen her boyfriend Gavin, known as Big G, has ended the relationship because of behaviour.

Since Paul's ejection from the house, there have been varying reports about whether he wants to see her again.

The future is a unclear for Helen and Paul

During his live interview with host Davina McCall he said he did fancy her and that he wanted to keep in touch.

But earlier, he had said in the house to Elizabeth: "I've got interests in a couple of girls out there. You don't know what could happen."

Party

Since his departure Helen has said she does "not expect anything from Paul".

And she told Brian that her relationship with Big G had "not been a bed of roses".

"It was an on-off, on-off thing. When you are in this situation it makes you re-evaluate your life. It was make or break...it's break though isn't it," she added.

Meanwhile, Big Brother is setting the four remaining housemates daily tasks with rewards at the end of each day.

So far they have enjoyed a party with face paints and toy guns for successfully remembering childhood facts about each other.

They have also been given an art gallery-style opening, with food and drink, to show off their clay models of fellow housemates.

Reality TV show Survivor is also entering its final week as viewers prepare to discover who the final two are who will compete to win the £1m prize ($1.4m).

The decision will be made by the other contestants, who have each been voted off the island.
