Underdog Alex Reid wins CBB


The British public always love the underdog, the hero or heroine that wins against the odds and last night Alex Reid, the underdog in the Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) house stormed to victory.

In front of the cameras and millions watching at home, waiting for any moment of weakness or wrong-doing, the CBB house seems like an unlikely venue for the underdog, for redemption. But Alex Reid, famous only for dating the infamous Katie Price (aka Jordan) left the house last night the winner, only weeks after being roundly booed upon his arrival.

But Alex's surprising victory is not the only example of how the BB house can apparently turn-around public opinion in a matter of weeks. In 2009 Ulrika Jonsson, famed for her affair with Sven- Eriksson and the different fathers of her four children, claimed victory on CBB after another surprising change of heart from the British public.

Alex Reid beat Stephanie Beacham, Jonas Altberg, Vinnie Jones and Jordan's ex Dane Bowers to the last ever CBB crown last night.
