The second eviction looms for Tina and Michelle, and Betfair punters have been piling into the toenail-eater to go...

They say that everything seems better after a good night's sleep, but tell that to Michelle, who within seconds of waking up was in floods of tears again.

As ever, Michelle's female housemates were on hand to dish out some clichéd advice. Yet nothing could make Michelle feel better, as she worries about what her boyfriend will think on the outside world. Michelle is now [80.0] to win.

Ironically, her boyfriend probably isn't that bothered about the goings on in the house, as he'll be too worried about the fact that Michelle's ex-husband is running around telling anyone who'll listen, that she had several affairs during their marriage. When you take liberties with your ex, it's bound to come back to haunt you.

The row was temporarily forgotten when the housemates were given a task in which they all had to dress as toys. As with most of these tasks, it seemed to have been designed with the intention with the sole intention of getting Verne dressed in a costume that would make him look even cuter. The wee man remains the favourite at [1.73].

So clad as a teddy bear, Verne and fellow teddy Michelle, were given a pot of honey each, which they had to eat in four hours. They were always going to struggle with this task, because the honey pot was about the same size as Verne and Michelle doesn't stop moaning for long enough to eat anything.

Tommy [100.0] and Coolio [19.0] were dressed as cars and had to run through a car wash, whenever they heard the song 'Car Wash'. It's tasks like these that make you think that the producers on the show aren't making the most of their degrees from Cambridge.

Coolio's car had a horn fitted to it, probably because the producers were thinking that he's been having trouble making himself heard. The rapper was soon revving his engine at Mutya [130.0] and chasing her around the house.

The former Sugababe was dressed as a ragdoll, which had the effect of making her look even more like a porn star than she normally does, albeit a 'specialist' porn star. As Coolio honked his horn and spilled oil everywhere, Mutya threatened to let Ben (dressed as a dinosaur) loose on him. To which, Coolio retorted: "What's he gonna do? He's a Weakasaurus." Ouch.

Tina [220.0] and Terry [5.9] were given a ballet task. Perhaps a little self-conscious of looking like a girl, Terry commented that: "You have to be super-fit to do ballet." Well, you certainly do if you have to pick Tina up and twirl her around.

When the housemates heard the sound of laughing children, they had to run into a toy box. This was particularly difficult for Ben as the sound of kids laughing causes him to suffer painful flashbacks to difficult audiences at Radio 1 road shows. The boy-band bore can be backed at [14.0].

Before long the housemates were complaining the task was making them look stupid and discussing whether they should just give up. In doing so, they completely missed the point that when they were specifically signed up to the show to be made to look stupid. Haven't they ever seen the show?

The nominations were announced and Coolio couldn't get his head around the fact that he wasn't nominated (he's not the only one). The volatile rapper then verbally attacked Ulrika (and to a lesser extent Michelle), telling the Swede that he wanted her out of his house. When Mutya said she would be going, Coolio put his foot down: "You ain't going anywhere Tattoo."

Ulrika [42.0] brushed off the attack, but not surprisingly Michelle turned on the waterworks again. Coolio was then sent to the diary room, where he was lectured by Big Brother and told not to be a bully. He came back into the house saying that he wasn't going to talk again: "I'm in my shell. Consider me a turtle."

Michelle was advised by Big Brother to talk through her problems with Coolio. She explained to him that the girls didn't like hearing words like hoes and bitches, probably because they're more used to being called slags and trollops.

Coolio resented being labelled a bully, as he was bullied as a child (can't think why). He explained that his behaviour was down to wanting to win the game and that he even cheated when playing Monopoly. I bet he's the top hat.

Michelle is the second favourite to be evicted at [6.8] behind Tina at [1.24]. I still think that there's a chance that Michelle could go on Friday, but whether she does or not, she'll eventually be crying all the way to the bank.
