So. We're into the final week already, and doesn't it bring home what a short series CBB is? The celebs have got it easy. Yet a lot of them don't seem to think so. Ulrika uses her "dancing eyes" (among other techniques) to make it clear how little she's enjoying the experience, Michelle threatened to leave several times and Mutya actually walked out last week.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure the intensity of the situation makes it a lot tougher than three weeks on holiday with your mates, but surely you can grit your teeth and get through 22 days of boredom, punctuated by the occasional fun task or overblown argument?
Of course, Ulrika and Mutya miss their kids, too. But I've often found it strange that people with small children decide to go on the show. Ulrika's youngest is only seven months old. I know she thinks she's doing the right thing bringing in cash for the family but surely they're not exactly on the bread line. And is it really worth missing those priceless, formative weeks?
I was a bit sad to see Mutya go. Although a lot of people thought she'd been boring, I enjoyed her moodiness. And don't tell my psychiatrist, but I found her strangely alluring dressed as a doll. Still, I respect her for deciding she was going to go, and then actually going - rather than moaning constantly and taking it out on other people, like Ulrika, or using it as an empty threat, like Michelle.
Whether Michelle wanted to leave or not, well, she's gone, voted out in a "secret" eviction. She left on a high note though, beating Coolio in a chilli-eating task that left him the one with tears in his eyes.
If Coolio had been up yesterday against Ulrika, he might have been in trouble. But now we're voting for a winner, and the personalities who split opinions are in with a good chance. A win for Coolio would be all right by me. I think a lot of people misunderstand his edgy humour, and he's been entertaining as hell. But really, Terry should win it.
Self-effacing, thoughtful and fair-minded, Terry is as non-celebrity as a modern-day sleb can be. But if the crowd last night are anything to go by, Verne is going to win. Most housemates got booed as Davina read out their names, but Verne got a resounding cheer. Why?
Verne's been an OK housemate, yet he's hardly been scintillating. And voting for him because he's a funny little man who looks cute dressed as a teddy bear would be wrong. Given Verne's constant pleas to be treated like everyone else, it's not what he would want. So vote Terry, and give him that caravan he's always dreamed of.
Who do you want to win? Post a comment below and let us know.

I just typed a long message about Terry and deleted it by mistake. I totally agree. Terry to win. He's 20 million times better than a mysogenist rapper, a vertically challenged 'actor', a pompous politician, an ex-weather girl, a shy boy-bander and a two-faced American.
TERRY TO WIN!!!
