Sports may be back, but that doesn't mean they're the only thing eager bettors have to gamble on nowadays. Big Brother: All-Stars will host its first eviction tonight, and gamblers can place bets on which nominee, Kevin Campbell or Keesha Smith, will be going home. The odds suggest that Kevin is likely to survive the night, and Keesha will be the first player evicted from Big Brother's 22nd season.
The odds of Kevin getting evicted tonight are 11/10, while the odds of Keesha getting evicted are 4/6. Kevin has been campaigning for his safety much more than Keesha has over the past several days, so it makes sense that the odds are in his favor. Both players were among some of the most anticipated returnees in this cast, so an early elimination for either of them will surely be heartbreaking for a large swath of the Big Brother fanbase.
Betting website US-Bookies features odds not just on who will be evicted each week, but also on who might win only the second All-Stars season in Big Brother history. Unsurprisingly, Kevin and Keesha currently have the worst odds to win this season at 40/1. Of course, anything can change at a moment's notice in Big Brother. Whoever survives the block tonight could still make a deep run in this game, and maybe even win it all. Plenty of other players have found themselves in early trouble and gone on to find success.
Interestingly, Da'Vonne currently has the best odds to win this season at 3/1. Nicole Anthony has the second-highest odds at 11/2. Rounding out the top three is Cody, whose status as the first HOH of the summer likely helped him secure 6/1 odds of winning Big Brother: All-Stars. What makes Big Brother so unique, of course, is its ability to swing the pendulum of power in unpredictable and unexpected ways. A player could be in power one week, and in trouble the next. Even the players with the highest odds could see those numbers changed drastically from week to week, as they find themselves or their allies on the chopping block. It does make sense, however, that Da'Vonne is considered one of the most likely winners out of this cast. She has played the game twice, and has excelled as a strategist and observer on both occasions. While she has yet to make a truly deep run on Big Brother, she clearly has the skills to make it happen, and her early exits in the past may be enough for her competitors to underestimate her.
With the first eviction of the summer on the horizon, we will soon gain a better idea of how this season might unfold. In the meantime, odds such as these can help viewers make their own guesses as to what might happen. Of course, as every Big Brother fan knows, expect the unexpected.
Big Brother 22: All-Stars airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8 pm EST on CBS.
