[Nature]

i know i just said it was boring on the NOOOO topic

[Dan_]

Don't like this show much then :laugh:

[Nature]

craig is a dumbo

[Red Moon]

I thought it was too short.... it only lasted 14 minutes at most. There should have made the program 5 minutes longer so he could have had the full 20 minutes that most housemates get. He did come 5th after all.

[Nature]

naa 14 mins was enuff trust me lol

[Lance]

I thought it was alright,I liked the way they did his best bits aswel,very well done.

Craig was quite good,it's obvious he wants attentionand plenty of it,but meh at least he is gone.:dog:

It was a good interview, in my opinion he deserved to beat Kinga and Makosi.

Totally agree. My last remaining peice of entertainment in this years BB was to see Craig evicted and made to squirm in his interview. The eviction itself was OK, although I'd have preferred to see it be much more of a surprise, like calling Stu to the DR last year.

But that weak ass interview from Davina was a joke. Not one tough question about why he was such a pratt to Eugene, very little on that drunken night where he tried to molest Anthony, there were no specifics just general crap about what a great housemate he'd been. Yawn.

The biggest travesty was that he got an hour out of the house before the interview. What happened in this hour. Clearly he talked to some people about his time in the house cos he knew by the time of the interview that everyone knew about his sexuality, about stuff with Kinga etc. He was prepped before his eviction interview and for me, thats goes against the whole BB principles.

Bring back interviews in the open air with the whole crowd there, and not just a bunch of paid, sycophantic lackeys cheering them on.

I'm well pissed off about the whole eviction of Craig and I have very little interest in the rest of this weeks show. Maybe Dermot on BBLB can do better but I seriously doubt nice boy Dermot is gonna give him a hard time.

And the twist was mildly interesting but, yawn I just can't be bothered any more....

At least the new series Lost looked quite good.

:mad::mad::mad:

Thats the most astute thing ever written on this board imo. This season was an anti-climax from the start. Whoever did the casting needs to find a new career as the boring, uncharismatic, personality lacking specimens that were selected simply failed to capture the public imagination. I don't think we'll be seeing much more of this lot now that its all over.
The production team that planned the tasks and lame twists also need their P45's.

Why no live tasks?
Why did one person get most of the secret missions?
Why didn't they try something original?

[Ruth]

I've totally lost enthusiasm for BB now. I'm glad Craig's gone, but his interview was a joke. I also wondered what was going on during the hour between his eviction and his interview.

And I don't like the twist with the cash either. Defeats the object of voting for a winner if one housemate gets to keep half the money.

I agree! It was a fantastic interveiw the best in the series i think! He was funny, and laughed along with everything that had been said! It was brilliant! And it was really lovely when his mam and dad came on- it was sooo sweet!! awww x

[Slartibartfast]

I've talked to a few people in work this morning (you can see I get lots of work done) and they all hated Craig and they are all very disappointed with the eviction last night. It was such a let down. Davina needs to toughen up on her questions generally but especially last night when Craig only got 4% of the vote. Very few liked him and most wanted him to be pulled up on some the crap he has said and done in the house. And yet Davina actually finished the interview saying after seeing his best bits it reminded us what a great housemate he'd been!! Utter tosh!

I'm seriously considering emailing CH4 to complain and normally I wouldn't be anywhere near so pathetic. RIP BB6, it died the day the Mary left and Craig stayed, and was properly buried when Science and Derek left. :sleep:

[Corkie]

i didnt think it was that bad

[Tanser_Man]

Davina was just continually laying into him and telling him things he probably already knew.

She needs to book up her ideas because a few times this series her opinions have boiled over and wrecked the interview.

But Craig reacted well and conducted himself in a good manner.

Good luck Craig.

[Slartibartfast]

Of course he reacted well, he had an hour to prepare himself. Bleedin joke of an interview.:bored:

[1_In_A_Million]

the interview wasn't that bad come on you lot lay off craig for a bit its not his fault he was overobbsessed in anthony!

[GlitterEyes]

He may have been annoying at times BUT he was entertaining.

[Slartibartfast]

Really, I'm not laying into Craig (and it was his fault he was obsessed with Ant, who else's fault could it be) I'm laying into BB and Davina for that joke of an eviction and interview.

Craig was pretty much disliked by the vast majority of BB viewers, 96% of people voted for someone else. He was a nasty, bitchy, moaning little twit in the house, (now I'm laying into Craig) who thought the world owed him a favour and as most of the BB viewers seem to share that view, the interview should have challenged him on some of the things he had done and said in the house. Instead he gets an hour to collect himself (and who knows what he was told during that hour so no surprises in the interview), and gets a load of rubbish questions with Davina telling him at the end that he had been a great housemate. But he wasn't a great housemate, he was a little turd. :mad:

[GlitterEyes]

Craig is quite similar to Makosi then.

[Slartibartfast]

Oh FFS, a thread about Craig being evicted and another Makosi-hater manages to bring Makosi into it. There's plenty of threads slagging Makosi, can we have at least one thread where her name isn't mentioned. Please?

[1_In_A_Million]

ok go back to the original thread topic then

[Tanser_Man]

People are slagging Makosi because Makosi is pathetic.

Anyway, back to the thread.... I think we need a new presenter.

But who would we have?

Dermot?

Ant & Dec?

Avid Merrion?

Parky himself?

[Slartibartfast]

No we should keep Davina, we just need some proper questions, less of the sycophantic rubbish and get rid of the idiots who are paid to stand round the stage and cheer for whoever has been evicted.

If a person isn't liked then the interview should reflect that. They should be terrified of the post eviction interview cos all the bad stuff they've done should be brought up and they should have to explain it. Especially when it's someone like Craig who was generally disliked by the vast majority.

I'm still fuming from that interview last night and it has soured this whole last week of BB for me.:mad:

[James]

I don't think there really was an hour gap between the eviction and interview - the interview was recorded and shown later, I believe.

The reason for this I think is that, for a Wednesday eviction, they have to finish the show earlier (to comply with their entertainment license).

My take on the interview style is that is should be light-hearted - Davina doesn't do Paxman-style grillings very well and that type of interview would come across as very awkward.

the interview had nothing to do with anthony lol where you going the interview wasnt exactly good, i didnt atually turn ma chair around to watch it i carried on facing the pc but other interviews i put away up for msn and turned around

[Nature]

Well I disagree with the light-hearted stuff, I just think the interview was far too soft on Craig, and my blinding hatred of Craig demanded that he be called up on some of the rubbish he said and did. Whether or not we need to go to Paxman level, I'm not sure but brushing over the very reasons that Craig was hated is unforgiveable. He wasn't liked, so why give him an ego boosting interview when the public wanna see him put in his place over certain things.

I didn't know about the possibility of it being recorded and shown later. ! thought all the post evictions were live but if they're limited by an entertainment licence then it may have been pre-recorded. Maybe we'll find out a bit more on BBLB when instead of Davina, it's Dermot who gets to massage Craig's ego for 15 minutes.

I'm still fuming, but if there was no hour long gap (and what kind of gap was there and did people get a chance to talk to him about his portrayal in the show before the interview) then I might be slightly less angry. But it was still a pathetic interview.:bored:

[Ashley_Bash]

i thought the interview was ok and i didnt mind craig. i think hes dead down to earth and its nice he didnt pure come out n say IM GAY on tv to embarass his parents lol

[OPL73]

I blame Davina. She's rubbish at interviewing. She is always being criticised in the press for it.

Jonathan Ross would be brilliant. He pulls no punches when he interviews and they are major celebrities! He'd have ripped Craig to shreds. Or even Jeremy Paxman. Now that would be interesting.


JP: We're joined now fresh from the BB House Craig Coates. The 5th runner up of Big Brother 2006.
(Cut to-Audience feigning applause and adulation)
JP:Craig, do you understand why you were so unpopular?
CC: What a strange question. I didn't get the impression I was unpopular.
JP: The boo's, the fact you were 5th? Why do you think you were unpopular?
CC: Unpopular me? - Jeremy - move on to your next question.
JP: You're not answering that one?
CC: (Dramatic sigh) Because of my man boobs? I don't believe that people should be discriminated against because they have a bit of insulation.
JP: Are you proud of your man boobs Craig?
CC: (Silence)
JP: So again, why do you think you were so unpopular and why do you think you only received 4% of the votes?
CC: If you ask that question again, I'm going, I warn you now.
JP: Don't try and threaten me Craig, please.
CC: You're the one who's trying to badger me.
JP: I'm not trying to badger you, I'm merely trying to ask if you're proud of having man boobs and if you understand why you are so unpopular?
CC: (Dramatic outburst) Probably because I am so bitchy and that I might be (whispers behind hand-Gay)...I can't say the word
JP: (Nods head) Gay you mean Craig?
CC: (Silence)
JP: I put it to you Mr Coats that you molested Anthony in front of millions of viewers. It made for uncomfortable viewing.
(Audience shouting Go Jeremy, Go Jeremy......)
CC: (Shocked) Sorry?!!!
JP: Touching up Anthony. You know who I mean? Your best friend Anthony, who you have known for a pitiful 10 weeks when he was 'paralatic'
(Cut to screen with scenes of Craig in a bad wig, salivating over Anthony in his yellow undies, and stroking his belly in the diary room- background music of the song 'I'm a Maniac'
CC: It was never like that, you have twisted it. (Cue tears and out pouring of you don't know what I've been through)
JP: Are your tears real Craig? You must have cried at least 5000 times while you were in the house?
CC: Cut-to Craig's wet, red face and puffy cheeks. Why are you doing this to me?! Where's Davina?! I can't handle it.
JP: I'm not doing anything and Davina has b*ggered back to ITV, where she belongs.
CC: You are actually conducting one of the most absurd interviews I have ever seen and participated in. I have finished 5th. Surely that's a good feat? Can you find it within yourself to recognise that fact? To recognise the fact that the public like me?
Why are you insulting them?
JP: I'm not insulting them, I'm insulting you. And it was only 4% of the public Craig, the rest hated you. Just have a look at this. This is just one person.
(Cut tv screen to scenes from BBBM and numerous phone calls from a guy called John from Blackpool "GER IM OUT!!" "E makes me feel sick. I can't eat me Tea!!" "GER IM OUT!"
JP: Anything to say Craig?
(cut-to Craig hyperventilating)
CC: I refuse to diminish my character to surv-
JP: You already have Craig. Audience I give you 5th runner up Craig Coats.
Cut to audience throwing eggs and tomatoes at Craig.

Ok, firstly I should apologise to poor Dermot. The interview on BBLB was actually quite pressing, he asked a good few difficult questions and Craig made himself look like a right pratt. No ego massaging going on, and Craig's mum embarrassed herself with the same old rubbish about how he'd been portrayed. And giving him the training bra was a classic, kudos to whoever sent that in!

But there was no help from BBLB about the possible hour gap in the middle. In fact when they showed footage of it they showed the time on the screen and the interview was at 9.35 which would suggest there was a hour gap between 8.30 and 9.30 and the press conference wasn't until 10.45 which would suggest the interview did take place at the later time of 9.35. But neither of these are conclusive either way.

I'm still well pissed off though, but not as much as I was yesterday. The pain dulls with time.... :mad:

[harry]

Craig looked like a rabbit in the headlights on BBLB - scared to give any answers.

Did they dye his hair between eviction and interview because I thought is looked dark brown on eviction then during the interview it semmed to be a blonde/ginger colour?

I don't think that the reason he didn't say it was because of his parents! And why would his parents be embarrassed that he was gay anyway - it's not a crime, and I think they probably worked it out from watching the show!:spin2:

Jonathan Ross would be brilliant - and would definitely ask the questions that people want asking. I don't think there's enough money in the world to get Jeremy Paxman presenting Big Brother, but it would be soooo funny to see (loved your post about the imaginary interview by the way)! I think Russell Brand would be great at doing the main show!

Davina is the best person for the job. She'll still be there next year.

ppl, wot did he actually get asked in the interview? i missed it cos i was on holiday!! :conf:
