Was Michelle.

I've seen people say Katie but between her "It's A Job" comment and friction with Perez she caused her own problems

A lot of people took personal digs during noms Michelle was the only one to try and calmly defuse every situation by speaking to people like Ken & Jeremy on their level to explain why people were offended. Didn't alienate them.

She didn't goo off and bitch behind their backs. She in a rare BB moment acted like a responsible adult.

I didn't know who she was before this show but if this is how she carries herself... I tip my hat

I'd never heard of Michelle before the show but she's very quickly become my favourite HM.

Classy lady who has handled every situation with dignity and set the right tone. She's done herself proud so far

I too have never heard of Michelle but was very impressed with her way of handling difficult situations. She manages to diffuse situations with quiet humour and a calm, honest, sensible approach - SO refreshing when everyone else is being either patronising, or hysterical.

Yes, you definitely have a point there.
Not sure I like her all that much, even so.

I rather liked Keith and Patsy's way .................stay right out of it. They were nowhere to be seen - they've both been in the 'business' for years and have their heads screwed on IMO - in situations like that you could be acting with the best will in the world (as personally I think Nadia was) and it'll be twisted and misinterpreted.

I really did like the way Michelle handled things but - it's a powder keg in there - it could have (and still could) go either way. If you put yourself up to be an advisor/mediator or whatever you have to be prepared for potential flak.

Personally being 'older' I think I'd have opted for the lay low option.

Yep I agree - although kudos to Alexander too, he reacted to Ken's nonsense in a similarly calm and sensible way.

Cheggers had the right idea, he stayed away from it, good for him.

I agree, the way Alexander dealt with Ken's attempts to provoke a reaction was dignity personified and showed Ken up to be the ignorant little cretin that he really is

I too had never heard of Michelle before, and I agree she handled that day perfectly, but I think there was another person who also handled things perfectly, and that was Alexander. He showed commendable self-restraint and tolerance in the face of Ken's crass and ignorant remarks to him. Well done to both for showing levels of sensible, sensitive, adult behaviour rarely seen in BB or CBB.

I agree with everything she did and how she did it. Perfect.

I would have done what Callum did. Sit up in be, looking baffled and trying to look at all the sides, whilst thinking, "what a bunch of oddballs". He is very chilled... to be fair he needs to be, he was relatively chilled when faced with the bat-crazy Paul Danan on both Love Island and the reality show after which followed them two and Fran Cosgrave.

Alexander reacted very calmly towards Ken too. A lot of people wouldn't have been able to been that calm.

Out of everyone, the worst one was Perez.

I think Michele and Katie could make a good team. Complete opposites, but also mature enough to have an interesting debate and discussion with regards opposite opinions. The only way you learn, is to listen to the other person's argument and then take their opinions on board. Does not mean you will change your opinion, however it does make you more informed and view another perspective of the argument.

Katie does not carry over an argument, you have your say and then the argument is closed. You both move on, no simmering resentment feeding anger, if mature enough to manage that.

Watch Perez and Nadia. Everybody that put Perez up for eviction, he seems to have a problem with. Together with Nadia, they are just so loud, full of negativity and seriously turn a happy room toxic, without even knowing it.

I'm impressed with how Michelle takes the negativity out of potentially explosive situations I think she'll be a great HM.

Michelle is brilliant! I adore her on Drag Race but she's even better than I expected. She handles everything perfectly, she's kind and caring without Nadia's air of sanctimony.

Of the people who were involved, she handled it perfectly but tbf the likes of Katie, Alicia and Keith just stayed out it which was the best thing to do
