It's an unholy trinity if ever there was one: Respect MP George Galloway, transvestite singer Pete Burns and the only woman to wear more make-up than Natasha Kaplinsky, model Jodie Marsh, are the first names up for eviction from the Celebrity Big Brother house.
So, after much ado, the good men and women of Bethnal Green and Bow get a chance to vote their MP off the telly and back to his office. Or will they?
The world and his wife have had had their say on whether Mr Galloway should be lounging around in the Laurence Lewellyn Bowen-on-acid inspired environs of the Big Brother house with Maggot from Goldie Looking Chain, rather than doing the job he's paid for.
Tower Hamlets council leader Michael Keith was having none of it:
"Local MPs should be representing the interests of the area in these crucial issues. He is paid to do a job and he is clearly not doing it."
And a London Labour Party source quoted in the Evening Standard calls his missing a Crossrail a debate "a complete dereliction of duty." There is even a website dedicated to getting the MP back to work.
But when it comes to reality TV evictions votes, the Great British Public can usually be relied upon to enhance one's faith in human nature. Think of uber-whiny Natalie Appleton being repeatedly forced to eat witchetty grubs on I'm a Celebrity. Or of Michelle McManus being voted Pop Idol as every big girl's revenge against the music industry.
Bear in mind Channel 4 have got about 4 million people hooked on the show, even if the whole of east London gets on the blower Mr Galloway could still avoid the Big Brother boot.
However the biggest factor working against Bethnal Green and Bow is probably the fact that Mr Galloway's up against Ms Marsh. That the British public will tolerate her much longer than a mouthful of I'm a Celebrity kangaroo testes seems unlikely.
