Nasty Nick - what happened next
 

Because they didn't show Nick's actual ejection, the housemates finding out about his fictional dead wife and his tense af interview with Davina :skull:

Here it is for those interested:

Why do all your YT videos look weird when they’re embedded

Yeah they have a TiBB border :skull:

He's using [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je7R0oEXd3I[/youtube]

instead of

[yt]Je7R0oEXd3I[/yt]

Omg I didn’t know you could use the whole link, I thought it was just the numbers/letters at the end

For some reason they never work when I do it the normal way

Craig telling Nick that he's going to be lonely :skull:

If it wasn’t for Nasty Nick the odds are the programme would have been a one series wonder

weird to hear Davina narrating instead of Marcus, was that just a BB1 thing or when did they stop that?

She narrated highlights during eviction shows until BB3 or 4 I think.

Yeah that was savage. Nick now lives in Australia and Craig has interestingly recently met up with him there in the last couple of years.

Thanks Maxxie :hug:

My thoughts after watching this episode:

"Your main concern shouldn't be with us, it should be your family when you get out of here. That should be the scariest part" - they really did treat it like he committed a murder or something didn't they :joker:

It's funny how in his interview he said he'd like Tom, Mel, Darren and Anna to be with him until the end yet three out of four of those were names he had written down telling people to nominate them, I wonder why he did that?

I know it's hypocritical of me putting it in the title in this thread, but since then I've been thinking the name 'Nasty Nick' is actually reminding me a lot about the name 'Muggy Mike'. Thankfully Nick's journey didn't have a similar outcome to Mike's but can you imagine if it did! the whole reality TV mental health debate we have now we would have probably experienced almost 20 years earlier and BB UK (and possibly even BB around the world) probably wouldn't have lasted very long if even at all further. It was a different time though so I think maybe some people would have had the opinion that he did it to himself but I think that would be in the small minority.

After watching BB US/Can and other American reality shows I can definitely see where Nick is coming from in terms of his social strategy and I have a lot of sympathy for him. There's a side of me that says it's just British culture as to why his housemates took it so personally but it also made me think - if somebody did this in America during BB1 (where they had the same format as we do) I wonder what the housemates and the public's perception of that would be? Would he have been ejected or would he even have been villanised/scrutinised?

and on a lighter note I also really like Tom, Darren and Mel and think they're all very underrated in BB fandom!
