[SiMoN!]

As far as Spiral and Michael are concerned, the fat lady hasn't just sung, she's taken her makeup off and changed into a pair of fawn slacks. So, all the two boys had to do was answer our questions...

Spiral did you feel disappointed when you heard your name called out?

"I wasn't disappointed, but I would've liked to have stayed in the House. It was me time to go, you know, but I'm not disappointed. It's great to be out. It's just fate. I wasn't meant to be there any longer."

Michael how do you feel?

"How do I feel? I'm alright. The House was difficult for me to be in. I thought it'd be absolute paradise -- Jacuzzis, champagne and everyone'd be great and I'd get on with them."

What about your relationship with Richard, Michael?

"I was trying my best to get on with Richard, and in that kind of environment it's like a pressure cooker."

Michael why did you start start crying at hearing Richard's letter from home?

"When I had the epiphany, it wasn't about Richard giving a great performance, it enabled me to see the humanity, compassion and pain in him and I connected with that."

Spiral do you think you gave a bad impression of Irish men by being aggressive?

"At the end of the day, everybody has arguments, shouting louder than other people. But I'm a good person and I've a lot of time for people and I give people respect. I'm not in there representing Irish people, I'm in there representing myself."

Finally, we got them to reveal their opinions about the remaining housemates...
