Day 22: Celebrity shopping list

There are only two days to go till the end of Celebrity Big Brother (we’re sorry - we should have asked you to sit down for that). That means two days until the winner is crowned; two days until the six finalists come blinking out into the public eye. There are lots of questions on our minds but one of these is, how will the celebrities nourish themselves in preparation for what, for all of them, will be an unforgettable day? It's a fairly balanced list in our view, with representation from cheeky choccie snacks to prove they’re human just like the rest of us. We only hope that suit jacket is seasoned correctly.

Tonight's eviction: Trio on trial

Tonight's double eviction is almost upon us - and three of our celebrity housemates are currently biding time and packing suitcases. There's not long to go before this evening's ejection extravaganza, and each of the celebs facing a clamber up the staircase and a one-on-one with Mr Dowling has good reason to worry that it might be them going through the motions.

None of this trio have been as clean as a whistle since they stepped through our doors 21 days ago – but then again, each of them has entertained us a ridiculous amount too.

That's what makes tonight's outcome almost impossible to call. We all probably have an idea of one who'll likely leave, but two of these enormous characters leaving in one night? It's almost unthinkable.

But let's have a think about it anyhow. We're always up for a good old think...

Julie

Our soap queen and drama-specialist, Julie, has left more than a mark on this summer's series. In fact, she's pretty much left a dent in the whole franchise, her personality being so gigantic that she's dominated an awful lot of the stories that have arisen from flinging her into the mix. Julie brought with her a catchphrase or two, attitude and a massive, familiar personality. She also brought dry with and a wicked sense of humour. Corrie fans and admirers of strong women will vote to save her in droves.

But being on camera 24/7 has also captured a number of perceived flaws in Julie's character. Even though it's not the most easily defined character-trait, a large portion of the viewership considers Julie two-faced after she expressed love for housemates she then went on to curse in private and nominate. She's also been caught trying to influence votes – a big no-no in Big Brother-land. It's in the balance whether her pros will outweigh the cons when it comes to the public vote.

Lorenzo

He arrived with one of the lowest profiles (here in the UK at least) of all the celebrity housemates, but he's more than proved his worth. Prince Lorenzo Borghese has also demonstrated his entertainment value, being a louche and relaxed housemate who speaks his mind when he feels it's right and who's also shown a game side to his character. He was more than willing to stand in a thong, getting plunged for a task and he stood up to Mike and Harvey when they rounded on Danica. This kind of everyman activity combined with the touch of class that comes with a background  based in papal nobility may well have won him a legion of fans.

But for all that, a low profile going in doesn't guarantee a high profile upon exit. Big Brother viewers are infinitely more familiar with the bass player of Spandau Ballet and Bet Lynch of Coronation Street. Will a formerly barely known ex-contestant on The Bachelor USA really be able to command votes-to-save from a British public more given to soap opera and 80s pop? Who can really say?

Martin

The Kempster went into the bungalow with, he told us, a gameplan. He wasn't explicit about what it involved so we had to guess as he made his way through the past three weeks. After seven days or so, it seemed that his tactic involved sitting back and watching how the show unravelled, holding back when drama arose so that he could cruise to the final. Apart from tonight's eviction threat, it seemed to be working out. He's well-liked in the House and has kept us amused with his rock 'n' roll anecdotes and enjoyably laidback attitude. Spandau fans will be overjoyed to see that Martin's as close to his public profile as they'd probably hoped. And it doesn't hurt that he keeps wandering around with his shirt off.

But then again, a man who's played gangster Steve Owen in EastEnders in addition to a movie version of a Kray probably ought to have more of an edge to him. Martin's been accused of being boring umpteen times, not only by viewers but also by his fellow roomies. Where many will be chuffed to see Martin as normal as they'd hoped, others might be disappointed that he's left a bit of a faint mark on the show. That split in perception might well be his downfall.

With three great individual characters and two destined to leave, we're beside ourselves trying to work out who's the most likely to go. We've broken our scientific calculator trying to factor the probabilities and we've blunted our nibs correlating all the variables on multiple graphs. Our felt tips have all run dry. We've broken our protractor.

The simple fact is, folks, that it's impossible to call until we know which way the public have voted - and the ball's in your court for that one.

Julie, Lorenzo or Martin? The only way to sway the outcome is to vote – which you can do right here, right now. Good luck with that.
