Michael Madsen has finished in fourth  place…

The Hollywood actor played a starring role in the Big Brother drama, but ultimately he was out-staged by his fellow housemates tonight, who the public elected to save. Michael once stated , "There is no winner, just survivors."  Well, Michael, you are not the winner but your survival tactics were undoubtedly very entertaining and that's why you made it to the semi-final of Celebrity Big Brother 2012.

Before he even entered the House, it was clear that Michael was a straight talking man, and wouldn't stand for any nonsense during his stay within the House. However, despite his tough exterior, the actor surprisingly began his stay by striking up a heart-warming bromance with fellow superstar Andrew Stone. The two shared a lot of particularly interesting conversations, but were sadly split up when Andrew's fairytale ended  in the first eviction of the series. Michael's rather bizarre sense of humour was displayed in conversations with the Starman amongst others, and his fatherly traits were shown in his relationship with Frankie in particular.

On the other hand, Michael's more grumpy side was showcased in the House, too. It was Denise in particular that Michael wasn't always the biggest fan of: she seemed to have a particular way of getting under the actor's skin. He considered her to have a rather invasive nature, taking offense to when the 'Loose Women' presenter questioned him about, well, most things! Everything came to a head in last Wednesday's face-to-face nominations, with Michael finally putting his feelings on Denise straight for the record.  No doubt upon his departure he will tell us once again exactly what he thinks of his fellow housemate and his experience in the House.

Overall, with his admittedly slim knowledge of all things Big Brother, Michael did very well to get through the testing experience of such a show in the first place! He provided the House with more than a touch of Hollywood magic; along with some slightly more diva-ish moments that won't be forgotten. He'll go back to Hollywood with an experience he won't forget under his belt: good luck, Michael!
