Verne set to be the victor despite last night's soup-dipping, mirror-licking show
Day 22 in the house and we must say it was most disconcerting watching Celebrity Big Brother last night.
Having watched the double eviction on Wednesday night, it seemed downright odd to be watching the antics of two housemates that were already long gone into the outside world.
Has the editing turn-around always been this long? For some reason, our poor over-worked brains thought it took just a day for action in the normal civilian Big Brother house to reach our screens, but perhaps not.
However, watching two evicted housemates after a day out of the hourse already just seemed plain crazy last night as you already knew just about everything that was going to happen before you saw it.
Having said that, there were still a lot of laughs to be had, even if you knew what was coming - much like still giggling at the punchline of a familiar old joke.
Highlights? Our favourite moment had to be La Toya licking Gentleman's Relish of a window. This was actually almost bad as it sounds too.
Poor Ms Jackson was forced to slurp a square of the concentrated anchovy paste using just her tongue for her 'dare' in order to win a shopping token.
She exclaimed as she started: "It's all thick and salty."
While the rest of the housemates almost keeled over laughing from innuendo overload, La Toya stoically toiled on with her fishy task, showing that contrary to her shy demeanour her determination was not to be sniffed at. And her breath afterwards certainly wasn't.
There were also shades of the last CBB's eating tasks - a sort of Bush Tucker Trial-lite from I'm A Celebrity - with Ulirka's challenge.
She had to lick a fish's eyeball - but having willingly snogged Sven Goran Eriksson, we reckon this was quite literally small fry for her.
Coolio though was particularly pathetic when it came to his task. He was told by Big Brother to don diving gear and get prepared to submerge himself in a bath "full of gross stuff."
Big Brother declined to elaborate on what the substance was, but for all Coolio knew it was dog vomit.
He treated it as such too, the great big wuss, even though it was in fact just vegetable soup. Hilarious.
The rapper was further enraged when Ben got to snog a granny on the lips for five seconds for his daring challenge - it seems any action is better than none for the hard-done by, sex starbed hiphop singer and he'd wanted that task for himself. Odd man.
Ben however didn't seem so keen, though he couldn't stop giggling with that infectious laugh of his afterwards.
"She tried to slip me the tongue!," he chuckled. I usually go for them a bit younger, but she was gorgeous."
Verne had a bit of trouble for his challenge, which was to blow up a balloon that was almost as big as him until it popped.
And last but not least was poor Tommy Sheridan who had to down three flavoured ice drink shots in under a minute in an attempt to give the Scottish politician brain freeze.
The Socialists orgasmic grunts as he tried were hysterical but he still failed to empty the trio of glasses in the required time, prompting Big Brother to send him straight to jail in the garden.
"I've been made a victim of injustice - not for the first time!" quipped Tommy with his tongue firmly in his cheek.
But because we all already knew that Tommy was going to get the boot out of the house in less than two hours, we knew his incarceration was hardly likely to prove to be any real sort of celebrity incarceration.
And now all too soon, it's the final tonight, with Verne Troyer the odds-on favourite, followed by Terry then Coolio, Ben and Ulrika in that order.
But have the bookies got it right?
For once, you're just going to have to tune in - there's going to be no time-delay and editing around the ultimate eviction.
But you may get that familiar old feeling of deja vu when Verne wins just like everyone says he was going to all along...
