TRANSCRIPT OF WEBCHAT WITH NUSH
22 July 2003
Chat Ed : Welcome to this evening's BIG BROTHER 4 chat with Friday’s evictee - NUSH!
Nush : Hello everyone, bring on the questions, bring it on!
Flower Power : Hi Nush, just wanted to say you were a ray of sunshine in a somewhat dull and grey BB house this year. My question is, what's next for Nush? Are you going to setup your own yoga school or perhaps we'll see a chain of Nush's Amazing Psychedelic Welly shops spring up across the country? Whatever you do I wish you every success :)
Nush : Aah thank you, I'm not sure at the moment, I've only been out a few days and it takes a while to settle back down. It's quite a media whirlwind once you come out. I'd like to do something yoga related though, something that would be good for me spiritually.
Suzuhiko : Nush, do you think Steph had a reason to be jealous of you?
Nush : I've had a bit of time to think about this one and I've seen some footage and I'm quite upset by what I've seen...I tried very hard with Steph to the point where it was exhausting to be honest. I think if you want to know what the problem was, you probably need to ask Steph.
Eponine : How did it feel the first time you heard Big Brother calling you to the diary room?
Nush : You get really nervous and self-conscious because a part of you wonders a) if you're in trouble, b) if you're going to say something stupid and c) you KNOW you're going to say something stupid! Especially if you're drunk ; )
Dave Malvern : Were you sad when Cameron didn't choose you to go into the Reward room?
Nush : Initially I was really upset. I actually thought, for a split second, that I was going to cry. It's so childish but you look forward to the reward room all week, but when everybody came out they were really lovely and I'll let you into a little secret - Ray brought some chocolate out for me and I ate it behind the toilet door as that was a camera blind spot which they have since boarded up. Also then the boys decided to jump in the pool naked to cheer me up, it did kind of work in a strange way! It was really sweet actually, they tried really hard.
ayebairns : Go nushy hushy!!
Crash : Do you like Scott. What are you missing the most from been outside the house?
louise : Do you fancy Scott?
DaNi : Will there be any romance between you and Scott?
louise : Do you like Scott?
Iain BB4 ROX : Do you wanna go out with Scott?
lilgem : Nush and Scott the perfect couple :-)
Nush : Right... I think Scott is definitely one of the nicest people I have met and he was always there for me, I could always rely on him cheering me up. I miss Scott and I miss Jon. And um...I miss Ray as well. But there won't be romance at the moment because I've just come out of 2 very long-term relationships and I need a bit of independence at the moment and to get back in touch with friends, family and myself.
NickShark : How are you feeling that Scott and Jon said they love you to bits?
EmmaMart : Are you flattered by Mr Tickle’s attention?
Nush : When I first saw that on BBLB I just wanted to go in there and give them both a hug. That is such a nice thing for me to see after having come out, to see 2 grown men being such absolute babes. Jon was brilliant in my last week and yeah I was flattered because you know, he's a nice guy. He was trying to look after me.
Marianne : Are you a vegetarian that eats fish because they get on my wick being one that doesn't?
roxybabe : Have you seen much yourself since you have been out?
Nush : I don't eat meat because I think animals are pro-biotically fed, reared in poor conditions, probably injected with growth hormones, they get radiated in transport on aeroplanes, then packed in plastic and I'm not too keen on the thought of eating that. I had been a full vegetarian until recently but I got quite ill on it, so I need the fish in my diet.
I've only seen a few short clips of it on BBLB, roxybabe, I haven't had a chance to scratch my butt let alone see any footage. I'm charming aren't I!?
Headman : What’s been the best bit about coming out?
cameron rules : What does it feel like when you’re walking through the crowd?
Nush : Walking through the crowd...you know… you have no idea of what perception people have of you and it's quite a daunting thought. Getting to the top of the stairs and realising you're an individual again, away from the group - that's quite scary. When I came out to hear good things was absolutely brilliant. The first people I saw were my Mum and Dad, which was fantastic. The studios are very exhilarating, it's a real rush, a sensory overload because you haven't been used to it and then you see your friends and family on top of that so it was a pretty exciting experience. Seeing my Mum and Dad was the best bit, even though at first I thought it was 2 mad people standing there!
Cooper : What did you think of Gaetano?
Vertigo : How do you feel about Gaetano telling his African housemates that he had sex with you?
Ste151188 : Yeah that was bad what Gaetano done! Do you hate him for that?
Nush : Hmm...Gaetano from the start admitted that he was a devil's advocate and taking into account that he was only going to be there for a few days I was fully aware that he was going to be trouble. I got a little bit vexed but then just shrugged it off. He looks a bit silly, he's made himself look stupid by lying. I can't give it much more thought than that really.
niallOs : Did you enjoy the play fights with Ray or was he really abusing you?
Nush : He was absolutely, definitely, categorically not abusing me at all. That's just Ray's way and he may look rough but that's just his way. When you know him you know it's alright. I've seen it since and it's still funny. Play fighting is really important in the house because it gives you something to do in the day, you know, it passes the time. You have to do something.
i love ray cause im : How is your bum after falling alot of times
joe_in_da_house : Nush did you really hurt yourself when you feel over so many times
Jas : Are you really that accident prone?
Nush : My bum is OK but my foot is actually in a bit of a mess at the moment and I can only wear flip flops because it hurts so much, but it's pretty normal for me to fall over continuously.
Nush Is Great : How is your tooth?
bigbunions : How’s your foot?
Andy Atticus : I will kiss it all better!
Nush laughs
Nush : I'd love to know how my tooth is doing after it left my head! My foot is very, very sore. I didn't realise how sore it was, the drink kind of numbed the pain. If you saw my foot Andy I'm sure you really wouldn't want to kiss it, but thanks anyway!
cazdel : Have you spent any time socialising with ex-housemates and if so which ones?
Nush : The first few nights I've just stayed in and today I met Tania and Gos for a drink in a quiet, remote pub for about an hour and it was really nice to see them again, but I'm so busy - I'm exhausted, so all I can think about is laying in bed and eating chocolate and sleeping. I'm sure I'll see them all in a few weeks but right now I just need to rest.
players : Nush, do you think Cameron will have blown his chances with his firmly held religious beliefs?
nushfan : What did you think of Cameron?
Nush : I think everyone is entitled to have whatever beliefs they want. It seems that people are reacting very well to Cameron and I haven't heard any negative things about him quoting from the bible or anything like that. I'm aware that Big Brother is kind of targeted at the youth culture, but I think people are more interested in Cameron than his views on religion. I thought Cam and me got on really well to start with and he just really cooled off in the last week, which was a shame. Part of it was due to the fact that Cam and Steph got up early so naturally they did form a bond. Maybe it was nomination related or that my laugh annoyed him or that I interrupted him on occasion.
I Adore Nush : What would you have spent the prize money if you won? (and I wanted you to win! :-(
Ashley : What would you have done with the prize money if you had won?
NushGorgeous : Nush - If you won Big Brother, What would you of spent the money on?
Yvonne : Hi Nush, I wanted you to win too
hooah : Me too
Lozzi loves Scott : So did I
Cody : Me too
jammo : Same here
lukewithers : Nush 2 win
Geordie Boy : I still do :o(
nush has gone : I didn't want you to win
Nush : Bless! That's really nice. I would have loved to have taken my entire family on holiday abroad that would have been lovely. I would have got my Mum a decent car and my Dad a Vespa because he had one when he was younger and I missed my brother's 8th Birthday so I'd throw a big party for him with a bouncy castle, which I'm still going to do, so don't tell him! It's hard to think what you could do with that kind of money. I'd like to get a little nest, maybe study. Also I'd like to give some to an animal charity. There are a lot of places that really struggle. I'm talking about places that do breeding programmes and things like that, the re-releasing of animals into the wilderness as opposed to pet sanctuaries, even though pets are cool I'm thinking on a larger scale.
AliP : It’s made me cry you leaving :'(
Kelly Nush no1 fan! : What would have been your dream reward room and who would you have liked to be in it with you?
desbhoy : My wife loves your necklace where did you get it from.
Nush : The necklace is from Quicksilver.
Everyone would be in my dream room, it would be like a Buddha lounge, Chinese lanterns, hammocks, candles, plants and mirrors, feathers and we'd all have to dress as something really surreal...a nice Indian theme would be good. And loads of booze and food. An ethnic theme would have been funny.
SHY KARYN : Do you miss the chickens?
catmini : Which was your favourite chicken?
Nush : I really, really miss them! I'd quite like to own them. I used to pull a spinach leaf out of the vegetable patch and sit in the garden and wait for them to come up. I loved them all but it was a close one between porridge and chickpea.
lukewithers : Are you glad Jon gave you advice before you left the BB house?
Nush : Yeah... at the time I don't think I was really fully hearing what he was telling me. I think he was just telling me to be careful and not do anything I'd regret but to be honest I did know that already. I didn't mind him saying it at all though because it was just his way of showing that he cares for me.
Chat Ed : Our half hour with NUSH is almost up, so last few questions now...
Heather : Did you like Lisa?
Nush : I did like Lisa. It wasn't so much Lisa that was odd it was the situation. The one regret I have is the stick that Lisa got and I feel that it just got out of control and the situation really brought out the worst in the group. I just hope everybody realises that she is a really nice person, so don't go being nasty! It's hard when you come out and I'd like to think that the public are smart and just realise that we are all normal people with feelings.
DaNi : Who is your least favourite housemate left in and was there any housemate that you didn't like???
Nush : Least favourite isn't the exact phrase I'd use...but I'd say it was pretty obvious that Steph and I didn't get on very well. I've got no bad feelings or anything like that but I am a bit miffed at what she said.
roxybabe : In all honesty, who do you want to win and who do you think deserves it the most?
henry : Who do you want to win this year???
Nush : I'm speaking from a friend's point of a view and not from a viewer's point of view on who I want to win – that, pretty obviously, is Scott. He is a really level guy, good fun to be around. I never felt that he was in it to win it, no tactics, no game plan and he's very creative and so it would be lovely to see him win and use his money to fund his writing skills.
shush : Why did you enter BB?
jojojo : Hi Nush, what have you learnt about yourself from your BB experience?
Nush : God, that seems like years ago. I was going to India and I borrowed a video camera to do a video diary. My boyfriend at the time thought it would be a funny idea to do a BB video and the very last day that you could send a video in I did one in my bedroom and sent it off and never really thought anything more of it. I feel really lucky and I'm really having a nice time.
Chat Ed : That's it! Thanks for coming and talking to us NUSH!
HiyaNUSH : Nush, can I say everyone at my place thought you had a lovely happy laugh, brightened up our day!
Mick_BBfan : Bye Nush! You’re a great person!
shush : Why did you enter BB?
Clyde : Bye Nushy xxx Luv ya!!!
BRIGHTON MICHAEL : Scott to win, he's cool
daleBBfan : Bye Nush lovely
Nush : Thank you all of you for being absolutely gorgeous and asking lots of lovely questions. I'm going to go to sleep now and I hope everyone has a lovely evening. Night night.
Lee_Cherry : night!
Bekki : Sleep tight
