Mikey favourite to win Big Brother
6:39pm Friday 5th September 2008
The winner of the ninth series of Big Brother will be crowned on Friday.
Rachel, Sara, Rex, Darnell and Mikey have survived 93 days in the house, but on Friday night one will walk away with the £100,000 prize.
Bookies' favourite Mikey Hughes, 33, is a radio producer from Ayrshire, Scotland. At 23 Mikey lost his sight while undergoing an operation and is now a radio producer for the blind station Radio Insight.
The outsider is albino Darnell Swallow, 26, a songwriter from London. He was deported to the UK after getting involved with gang culture in the United States.
He was born in Ipswich and raised in St Louis in the US and focuses much of his time mentoring community groups.
Australian Sara Folino, 27, was a late comer to the Big Brother house. She had a rural upbringing in Melbourne but moved to London five years ago. She now works as a personal assistant.
The housemates had a special supper on Thursday to mark the end of their time in the house.
Big Brother marked their last supper by playing music into the house, including My Way by Frank Sinatra and I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.
Darnell, Mikey and Rachel huddled into the Diary Room to thank Big Brother for the party.
"Whitney Houston, man. That was it, right there. That was the tune to put on at that moment, that did it right there," Darnell said.

Club was a welcome back for our soldiers
AS a welcome home from the war, it was a touch on the genteel side. After all, when you’d been dodging Hitler’s bombs and bullets for a few years, you could probably have thought of better things to do on your first night back on civvie street than wander down the social club and listen to a bloke playing a violin.
