Celebrity Big Brother - days 9-12

Michelle Heaton in Celebrity Big Brother

A pop star in a teddy bear suit and a gangsta rapper dressed as a car shut themselves in a bathroom together to discuss their feelings. You have to hand it to Big Brother - sometimes it comes up with some fantastically surreal stuff.

Coolio and Michelle will never be best friends (although I predict they'll release a single together after the show) but they have, for now, agreed an uneasy truce.

Whose side you take is down to whose approach you are most comfortable with. I think Michelle has set herself up as a sensitive, innocent type - but her farts don't smell sweet, no matter how much honey she eats. Guilt is her weapon of choice, hence her constant tears, which she turns on and off like a tap. I can almost see her peeking out from behind her hands sometimes, to make sure we're watching her cry.

Coolio, meanwhile - when he's not just making stuff up to amuse himself - employs the twin uzis of honesty and persistence. He says what he thinks (quite often before he thinks) and he says it again and again and again.

Some people say Coolio is a bully. Coolio says, "I hate bullies. I was a bullied child." Given his background, I suspect bullying and intimidation mean rather different things to Coolio than they do to those people.

But as Coolio's translator Terry has told us (and I'm loving that relationship), Coolio is feeling guilty about upsetting Michelle. "He's a big softy, really." But he's also torn by the need to be true to himself - to say what he thinks, and in his own eccentric way. Sure, he can get annoying but he can also be really funny, and when it comes to his honest-to-the-point-of-irritation style versus Michelle's manipulative methods, I know which I prefer.

There's not much point going into the question of whether there's anything between Ben and Michelle (although LaToya - "Tee hee hee!" - is convinced there is). But Michelle is protesting way too much, and I can't imagine her worries about her current boyfriend are completely unrelated to the accusations her ex-husband has famously made about her infidelity.

"Battering ram" Tina has been grating on me like she has on many of the housemates (although the way she bites her toenails is pretty sexy), but I'm kind of getting used to her and I'd love to see her stay tomorrow if it means Michelle gets booted out.

What are your thoughts on Michelle v Coolio, and who would you like to see evicted next? Post a comment below and let us know.

Tina drives me berserk. I hate people who constantly describe themselves as "feisty" or say things like "I just say what I think, that's just me" and think it's an excuse to act like an aggressive bully. Michelle is also worthless. They should be evicted and then deported. Coolio is amazing, likewise Terry! In fact everyone else is good value! x

Latoya has Michelle's card marked. Coolio is a bit annoying at times, but I'd rather have that and the dynamic it brings than a load of feather brained simpering women.

I too am bewitched by the Terry/Coolio relationship, and hope that they both make it to the final.

Michelle is boring the pants off me so, even though I'm intensely disliking Tina and her toenail biting ways, I'm hoping everyone does the right thing and votes the boring ones out first. Michelle first, then Mutya.
