Bully-O
It's a cheap shot but I couldn't resist it. The man is a bully in the classic mould of Alexandra (REMEMBER I TOLD YA). It might have been funny to tease Ben and Michelle about their non-relationship. But when it stopped being funny he should have stopped. He didn't. He also didn't tease Ben--he picked on the woman. Yet he totally escaped nomination. Why?
No one nominated him becuse they were scared to face his wrath if the nominations were replayed into the house AND probably they thought everyone else was nominating. I wish they'd play his line in to the house about how he wouldn't look at any of the women in the house if they were outside. That'd get him nominations from all the women. The men are turning against him. I want Tommy to take him down. La Toya is an apologist. It's sad to watch her rationalise sexism because she's 'used' to it.
It is not YOUR house Coolio, Cur, Cus, whatever. This is not the Coolio Hotel. You're a bully. You have ridiculous hair. For what it's worth I HATE YOU.
PS 2 mins 45 secs is enough time for a perfect soft-boiled bantam egg. Violet continues laying.
PPS can someone get Tina cab in which to dispense her home-spun hard-earned wisdom?


I feel the need to sing you a calming lullaby, Damesy. You poor darling, whipped up into an unassailable frenzy by that naughty chart-topper.
Have no idea what unassailable is but it seemed to fit.

He is gross. Why do they let him get away with it? Everyone kept saying last night to ignore him, but when you've got some real potential firebrands in the house (Tommy, possibly Tina if she can avoid making it all about her for a second) surely the best course of action is to put him in his place?
Urgh. Frustrated.

Coolio is a bully and in the mould of a former housemate, but not Alexandra. Remember Science*? The same unrelenting, remorseless, unapologetic attacks. Not shouty but. just. never. ending.
But even so, there came a point when I thought 'chell should stop snivelling. I mean a melt down is permissable but she kept it going for hours. And saying in the diary room 'I think I want to go home' surely means 'I don't want to go home'.
But being a bit wet isn't as bad as being a mysoginist bully who once had one good record.
*I should get out more, shouldn't I?

I agree, Coolio is a complete bully and does remind me of Alexandra. I felt that last night's episode was painful to watch - I really wish Michelle would leave, not because her crying annoys me, but because I think she is right, it isn't worth it!
I think Coolio "fancies" Michelle and the only way his maturity level will allow him to express this is through unfair bullying.
I can't believe BB hasn't had the "bullying conversation" with Coolio yet! Sort it out!

Damien dont hate him. Its not good to hate.. he is trying to wind everyone up and successfully. I just think he is a top class tosser. He is a walking sterotype. calling everyone cuz (ie cousin/brov). If he isnt on drugs, he should be. God help the woman in his life.

i want someone to stand up to him. ben's ultrapolite efforts failed..La Toya is just an appeaser..Tina is all mouth (and toe)...Ulrika? terry? Tommy? Michelle?

Did Coolio ever have a good record? Wasn't it a blatant rip-off of Sting (or am I getting my rappers in a twist?) And was Chell's meltdown any less grandstanding than whatever her name's risible reaction to Rex's daub-vandalising ?

He wouldn't have a house.
He'd have a Crib.

According to Mrs Rot I got Coolio's credentials wrong - I thought his claim to fame was a thoroughly rubbish reworking of "Every Breath You Take". So I still don't know what he's famous for, but I am loving his topknot. In the same was as I loved David Beckhams Alice band - i.e. not a jot or tittle.

Whilst nestled in the ash tray, Tina herself pointed out that Coolio's hit 'Gangstas Paradise' owes a great deal to the fabulous Mr Stevie Wonder.
