Wow - we asked for a bit more action and we got it by the bucket load.
It's all kicking off as Ofcom step in to investigate complaints about Coolio's 'bullying', and Tina Malone and Coolio have an almighty row, which ends in tears - not Michelle Heaton's for once.
Too Many Cooks
In a confined space, with no privacy and so many ego's, tension is bound to flare - but when those egos belong to Coolio and Tina - you're in for an nuclear explosion.
The two clashed over the shopping list (after the group failed the task and were left with a budget of a pound per person per day). Nobody could decide what to buy and eventually it all came to a head.
Ulrika said that Coolio would order what he wanted and not think about the rest of the group. Coolio fired back: "You already proved you're untrustworthy." Which made Ulrika burst into tears.
Tina defended Ulrika and shouted: "Hang on a minute Coolio. It's not your decision to tell the rest of the house what to do."
To which the rapper replied: "Shut the f*** up, man."
And Tina had the last word: "Don't you tell me to shut up."
Ooh, nasty stuff. The pair had a dressing down from Big Brother, but maybe Tina won't have to worry about Coolio for too much longer - she's the favourite to go tonight with bookies' SkyBet giving her odds as lows as 5/1.
Will Coolio Get The Chop?
TV regulators Ofcom have launched an official investigation over claims that Coolio has bullied housemates with viewers complaining about the rapper's behaviour.
Despite getting a telling off by Big Brother for his behaviour towards Michelle Heaton and Ulrika Jonsson, he hasn't really toned himself down and during a bust-up with Tina told her to "Shut the f*** up".
A show insider told the Daily Mirror: "Coolio was very aggressive towards Tina and is showing no signs of changing his attitude, despite being warned a number of times."
The director of Mediawatch added: "I think they should remove him from the show. It's absolutely unacceptable."
MP Nigel Evans from the Commons Media Select Commitee also agreed that Channel 4 bosses should axe Coolio: "They have the power to boot him off and that would be the best signal to give."
But Big Brother have assured viewers that they're on top of it. A spokesman said last night: "We are continually monitoring the situation."
We know they don't want another Jade Goody / Shipa Shetty episode on their hands.
Let's hope Coolio chills out in the next few days because let's face it - if he goes, in his own words: "Get ready to be bored."
