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...

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...

So, Lucy was the first evictee from this year's Celebrity Big Brother house. A glamour girl is always going to face hostility from some quarters, but Lucy was far from the dumb brunette many expected and, judging her on her behaviour in the house, I thought she was all right. She could take a joke, wasn't afraid of confrontation (after all, she told Coolio to his face "you're the most irritating person I've ever met") and took being evicted with good grace.

Of course, the real reason Lucy was voted out is Ulrika. A lot...

When Big Brother announced that Lucy would be reading the news "in briefs" for the talent show, I fancied I could hear the cheering of men around the country. A bit of a letdown, then, when she started slagging off Gordon Brown while wearing a cardigan. Lucy getting her legs out and talking about the Labour Party seems to be missing the point. That's not her talent.

Who knew LaToya Jackson would come out of her shell so readily if you just dressed her up like a jester? Her Coolio impersonation - "you got two hos...

The trouble with Celebrity Big Brother - as opposed to proper BB - is that the format provides less scope for conflict. A fortnight or so in the comparative luxury demanded by the stars can't create that much stress. And a lot of the celebs are in there to boost their careers, not ruin them, so they should be on their best behaviour.

Having said that, there is certainly some potential for conflict. Shameless star Tina Malone describes herself as "hormonal, OCD, bi-polar" and has already started to get uptight at the thought of not being...
