CAPRICORN

This guy belives in discipline. In putting in an effort and getting out. He is logical and into cause and effect – he truly knows that if he steps up to the plate and put in the required effort, something has to happen as a result. And that's why he's always so surprised when the thing he wanted to happen doesn't happen in the way he thought it would. He is a bit rigid in his thinking, but hardy enough to weather just about any storm (more on that later.) In fact, he may not even see it as a storm at all – he's not really into self-examination and deep thinking. He's into action and doing, and getting from one place to another – and surviving through the tough times is just part of the deal, he reckons.

He's going to be in great shape. He will need to run and to move and he's going to have to find a way to burn energy because he has plenty of it. He's actually quite a tough cookie underneath his rather pretty exterior. He can take hard knocks – very hard knocks – and not get too phased at all. I'm talking rude comments, large boulders falling on him, trees clunking him in the head and he could probably fall off a cliff or two and make it through. He just tends to get up, shake his head, and keep on going.

He has got a very healthy, ahem, interest in exercising his sexuality... well, he has a very strong interest in hooking up... I believe he has a massive sex drive, is what I'm trying to say! He doesn't quite see it that way animalistic – he just really, really likes girls. He's like an Elvis movie. He was the kind of kid who had girls fighting over him at pre-school, the guy who asked girls to marry him in third class. And when he does have 'relationships', he goes about it like another job that needs to be well done. (You have to love him for that.) He's able to stand up for what he believes in (which isn't really all that well formed at this stage) and he is, believe it or not, kind of hard on himself. He really does want to do well in this world and at some stage, his ambition will arc up and show itself so fiercely we may get a shock. Because he is utterly competitive. And he will want to win. He's uncompromising on that front, no matter how zen he seems. That's despite the fact that if there's someone who needs a hand, he's willing to give it, and is usually the first person to pick someone up after they've been knocked down.

He gets along with women really well – and you know why? Because even though I think he's very much into sex, he's also genuinely interested in what makes chicks tick. And he hates upsetting people – so if he does upset someone in the house, the hardest, hardest thing for him is going to be distancing himself, or comforting them effectively. Because he's not actually going to be able to do either very well. He's never been anywhere before where he's been so very resticted. And in some ways, it's going to be extremely hard on him.

Why he's there: He's eye-candy, with a little extra on the side.

Why he'll stay: He will do everything he can to hook up. It's just how he is.

Why he'll go: We won't get to see his hidden extras...
