It's been on for what seems like months and yet Big Brother still has a gaggle of housemates. Thankfully, Alex was escorted off the premises last week and hopefully this week poisonous show-off Sylvia will be out on her ear. I can't imagine the reception Alex would have got if there was a crowd outside. Her limbs would have been ripped from her body and there would have been world record boos from a crowd not normally known for its charity. As we edge towards this week's nominations I have one, burning question: Sylvia or dullard Mo are welcome evictees but seriously, why aren't they nominating Mikey?

I thought it was quite a step forward having a blind person in the house but all he's managed to do creep people out washing his privates with a kitchen cup and telling a seriously suspect joke about bestiality.

My jaw dropped when he told that 'funny' joke during the housemates' talent show. Not quite enough to join the legions of people who called Channel 4 to complain but even still, a blind man making an inappropriate joke involving a dog is not exactly Britain 's Got Talent.

The mind boggles as to why Channel 4 chose not to edit that bit out but fair play to them for being honest for a change. Canny lass Jennifer has twigged that Mikey isn't the cleanest of souls and I'm hoping the rest of the inmates aren't far behind. Perhaps he's the secret custard cream thief too?

I was hoping Luke would use his CSI skills and track down the culprit but he lost interest. A bit like me at the moment. They need some more tasks. Something that means they don't sleep, or get covered in glue and stuck together in pairs. Come on Channel 4, get mean!
