The Tuesday nominations
Posted by Will Parkhouse
"Everybody's runnin' but half of them ain't lookin' / At what's goin' on in the kitchen but I don't know what's cookin'." These may have been the words Coolio gave us in his 1995 hit song 'Gangsta's Paradise', but in last night's CBB, the opposite proved to be true – not only did the weird-haired rapper seem to spend most of the day in the kitchen, but a bit of over-zealous chicken marinating led to some very close scrutiny of his culinary activities.
Ulrika and Tina were particularly critical, pontificating from their beds like Roman empresses. Look out, Cools – it was a disagreement over poultry that sparked the notorious events of Shilpagate.
The 45-year-old was at the centre of even more controversy when Michelle ended the day blubbing in the Diary Room because of the unremitting ribbing she got from Coolio about whether she'd ever thought about having sex with Ben. Surely he could've just asked if she'd ever seen the red hot music video of A1's chart-topping classic 'Same Old Brand New You' and he would've got his answer.
However, the show centred around King of the House Terry's third nomination, in which he had to pick the star with "the least integrity", after getting to watch Diary Room footage of Ben, Mutya and Michelle talking about what a great guy he is.
It was a tough one, but in the end he went for Ben, who was then made to sit in a room with Terry's previous nominees: Ulrika (chosen for having the most inflated ego) and Lucy (the least talented, although Nuts readers will surely disagree). Then the twist came: in scenes reminiscent of an episode of The Weakest Link, the remaining housemates were asked to vote for the nominee they wanted to save. It was, of course, the beloved Ben.
Are you keeping up? The bottom line is this: Ulrika and Lucy face the public vote on Friday night. And who goes? As ever, you decide…

"The females in the house this year make me so ashamed to admit I'm female"
Why, is it a secret?

Coolio is such a nice & funny guy who's been made to be something he's not by the girls!
The girls this year are two faced brats who bring on the croc tears and play the victim to win over the public. When Ben said he couldn't be a*ssed to give up his bed for Mutya, Coolio really nicely offered & Mutya took it without uttering one thank you! He made them dinner and Tina sat all through it saying "This is vile! This is vile! Honestly this is horrible!" How disrespectful can someone get ?!!! When they were doing the Paparazzi task, Coolio was the one who encouraged them to stay awake to help them pass, made them tea and coffee, tried to keep their spirits up and what did they do? Lucy stuck her nose in the air proclaiming she can't stand anymore! Ulrika is one of the worst. Bitter, incredibly stuck up, rude and manipuative! The females in the house this year make me so ashamed to admit I'm female!! Tina was BITING OFF her TOENAILS yesterday on the Live Feed!!!!!!!!!!!! What one earth??? How vile?!!! None of the above made the Highlights show - what a surprise!!!!!!!!! Unfair editing much???

This series is boring, the casting is bad, there are no personalities in there except vern who has a little character. Dull, dull, dull. What were bb thinking?

I wonder what it is that makes a person likeable or not. I know or have seen nothing of ben yet percieve him as a nice likeable guy. Ulriki on the other hand is not likeable at all. Latoyah is lovely. Tina is an ogre, she's discusting, calling coolio for swearing, she's got a fowler mouth.
