1) Chaos - Don't get cocky bitch, you're only #1 because Ammi opted out. I am most comfortable with Caitlin when reading her to filth and exchanging the nastiest insults that wouldn't and couldn't be repeated on here without 3 month bans, and you could be forgiven for thinking that's an unhealthy friendship (and you'd be right because she is basically AIDS 12% of the time). But she is almost always the first person I turn to for advice, to rant about family and friends, to plan things and think things through, and I can only hope that I return the favour enough for her because I'd be lost without her. As the grumpy mum and dad of COL2 we may have pooped on a few parties, and she probably spent half the time watching Pretty Little Liars instead of talking to us, the rancid dyke, but I can't help but feel I've made a lifelong friend in Caitlin and someone who I can fully trust and respect. Minor cat obsession aside.

2) Drew. - I've probably had more fall-outs with Drew in the time since COL1 (and Most Loved...12, was it?) than I had with him at all in the years prior he's been on here. We've had awkward moments and the odd blow-up, mostly misunderstandings, that I think was embarrassing/uncomfortable for both of us, but what it has taught me is how much I value him as a friend. Most of them stemmed from not really being able to figure each other out. Much like his favourite film's character (Shrek), he has many many layers, and whilst at first I saw pretty much the token boring heterosexual that likes to kick footballs at his classmates on YouTube, in the year or so I've gotten to know him I've had the privilege of getting to see the other sides; I didn't think Drew would be a member I pour my heart out to, but it now seems almost commonplace. He's just extremely supportive, knows how to cheer me up almost 100% of the time (the exceptions being whenever he reminds me of DJ Ironik), has been more than what I could've wished for when it came to needing to get (super-personal) stuff off my chest - my text inbox is now basically like notes from an amazing psychiatrist, with occasional outbursts directed at Jess Glynne - and he's great to mutually vent about work with. Plus he organised the Arsenal tickets. I don't really 'do' nice paragraphs without a silly comment at the end but I love you Drew <3

3) _LucasMichael_ - the producers had to step in after COL1 and split us up because neither of us were putting out for each other (Lucas had Novo, I had the children's swimming pool down the road), so for a while it did seem that the dream team was over, but ALAS, we are unbreakable. So on the face of it Lucas is this silly wacky homosexual that tells people to die a lot and hates a lot of stuff on Twitter and has absolutely no alcohol tolerance whatsoever, which I must admit is basically his shtick and I can't lie and tell you "oh no it's all for the cameras, when I met him he was actually nose-deep in a Dostoevsky and raconteuring me about his experiences with furniture reupholstery", but there is indeed so much more: Lucas does have a heart somewhere in there and he's someone who it is just effortlessly easy to unload on and natter and share mutual interests and always get along with. Obviously I think I just have an inherent "don't trust the straight blokes" program operating somewhere, but even in a world of bitchy, trashy, nasty gays, Lucas is a rough diamond. Emphasis on the rough but there is a diamond there. Slay, queen Lucas.

4) Jake. - I said in the last Most Loved (PREVIOUSLY) that Jake was sort-of the member who, when meeting everyone, I just instantly clicked with and seemed to exchange knowing-looks with often and had the same sense of humour, so with the 2nd holiday that only really increased. Jake's someone I honestly admire - in terms of his maturity, how hard he works, how much he's put up with, how level-headed and responsible and fair he is, and yet at the same time great company - and at such a young age as well. He's an incredibly thoughtful and valuable friend and I can't really say more than that, he's just an all-round great guy. We might not talk so much lately with his new job and other time issues but I know I can always count on him to listen and help out and just be a great friend.

5) Locke. - If I open up Skype on a day where Purdy hasn't said a thing then I'm pretty much guaranteed that I'm not going to read something that interests me. I think it's strange how different our personalities are and yet how strikingly similar our tastes in film/TV/other stuff is - I think we might need some negotiating on the music, but then I'm sure he'll happily lend me the entire Trapped in the Closet boxset to enlighten me. But Purdy is basically the ultimate drinking friend (which is more than a nice way of saying "I only like him when I'm drunk", honest) - hilarious, super-quick to get a joke/make one, a vast knowledge of Arsene Wenger's shortcomings, and a useful knack for finding the nearest tractor.

6) LemonJam - James I swear to god if this Australia nonsense turns out to be what should have happened to Ben instead (ie. you stay out there and never talk to us again), I will burn a Portuguese flag and never look at an azn again. I have to be honest in that I'm hoping this is enough points to give you the sorely-deserved "underdog" status you so clearly don't deserve (you should be TiBB ROYALTY, BITCH), but at the same time you've always secretly been my favourite zetan on account of that "The TiBBs, They Are A-Changin'" eurovision entry. Speaking of which you had better take part next year. I am not having you Aretha Franklin your way through TiBB and becoming retired and huge and hairless. That is for Glenn. (I am sorry Glenn I just felt a bald joke was timely).

7) Dezzy - Forever TiBB's lionheart, the Man with the Darkwood Isle in his Eyes. Dezzy lurks under the ivy and dreams of sheep, but enough about Sheppy. He's taken TiBB to wuthering heights with his stellar games and writing and moderating, and does TiBB's very own version of cloudbusting (the clouds being messes that need a ban). You'd be running up that hill before you found a better member of staff on here (no tea no shade, other mods). This woman's work knows no bounds. I (hounds of) love you dean <3 (and I won't end this vote with 50 words for 'snow').

8) Nathan - I want you to type this entire reason out with Google Trish. Nathan is a top bit of muff and knows all of the banter. Nathan got a happy birthday from Wagner. He has touched greatness and given some of it back. He does not tolerate crappy little cats like Meowzie, and his mum is somehow even better than him.

9) Raph - we really don't get much time to talk on here / on Skype / elsewhere, so I'm really just basing this placing on the few times we've met up since the last time I wrote something for ML... Raph is Raph. Probably the friendliest person I've met. Super laidback, non-judgmental, the coolest voice imaginable and a total BB nerd. We share VERY few favourites in common (thank god for Sam Kay) but it doesn't really matter because he's not going to scream at me "DUDE, KATHREYA ****S ALL OVER SARA", he's just too lovely for that sort of thing. I'm also voting for him because he managed to cheer up Jake on the Day From Hell, and that is no mean feat.

10) Z - Honestly, last time, when I didn't even nominate him in round 1, it was sort of like I'd just stabbed him in the ball sac. And I feel horrible for ever doing it (but I had one of those "let's vote for the underdogs and forget Greg because he's not even here any more, the stupid has-been" moments). Greg is still Greg, a wonderful constant in my life that it's been lovely to see grow up from the daft Sugababes-stanning closet case into the daft Sugababes-stanning gay. His boyfriend seems lovely. Like he's no 'Shaun' but I'm happy for you Greg bc you deserve everything and more, you insatiable (I am only using this word because of Nadine Coyle) slut.
