Carole: 'We were bullied by Big Brother'
Exclusive By Megan Reynolds

Carole is happy to leave the confines of the Big Brother house
CRUEL Big Brother made the housemates suffer behind the scenes by starving them, locking them out and setting housemates up against each other, claims the show's fifth runner-up Carole Vincent.

The 53-year-old anti-war campaigner said she nearly drowned when Big Brother ordered the housemates to swim in their sack-like guru robes for a fitness task, after forcing them to sit outside in the rain while wearing their wet clothes.

"When I dived into the pool the water was filling up the material and I physically couldn't move. I was trying to get up for air and it was actually pulling me down. In the end I pushed my way up as Ziggy was taking his stuff off to get in and save me.

"I composed myself and got my breath, but as I got up I became quite light-headed and dizzy and as I fell back they went to grab me."

The housemates were frequently locked in certain areas of the house indefinitely and Big Brother would make some rooms hot and other rooms cold, claims Carole, but starving was one of the most difficult things they had to cope with.

Although Carole is pleased to have lost three stone and cured her night-eating syndrome, she said: "I didn't think they would leave people without food, and for several days, we were eating slop, an oats based nutritional thing, in a small paint tin with the minimum amount of calories for each of us - I had about a quarter of a tin and the twins had even less."

After several hungry weeks the housemates finally passed a task and won a luxury shopping budget, but it was all taken away when Carole was accused of hiding the biscuits.

"I never hid the biscuits," she said.

"I found them behind my bed when I was clearing stuff out, and when they were all starving I thought, if they were my kids I would not let them suffer like this when there is a packet of biscuits there, so I gave them the biscuits and thought, if I get evicted, I really don't care."

Conspiracy theorist Carole believes Big Brother was trying to turn the other housemates against her.

"We gelled really well as a group and that was difficult for them as programme makers," she said.

Oh dear.

It was like a prison but she lost three stone and cured her life long night eating syndrome which must have made a massive impact on her life.

Sounds like we ought to make our real prisons into BB houses. The prisoners would come out reformed characters. :dance:

Im now waiting for the story line"Big brother ruined my life"to come out in the papers soon.

Yes and perchance how much would that housemate get paid???? :rolleyes:

Quite alot of money id expect(i like your journal by the way especially the joke about the panda).

LOL... There would be a lot of money involved

Well basically if your going to auditon for big brother you`ve got to be prepared for anything including,starvation,manipulation from bb and tough tasks.Im not saying that this is right becuase i dont think it is but Carole should have done a bit more research or put a bit more thought into what she was about to do before she entered if she wasnt aware that virtually every year bb has managed to manipulate housemates into liking and disliking other hm.They dont give a **** about the housemates they just want to make a good show so that more people will tune in and they will generate more money.

Any housemate from Big Brother can have a moan or a gripe about other housemates or the way they were treated. Carole didn't have to do any task - if she really didn't want to, or she thought it would be dangerous to herself - that is basically stupidity on her part. She is a big girl and has certain talents and lacks certain others. That is just the case with Carole. Regarding being starved or lack of food!!!! What about - I'm a celebrity, get me out of here? Plenty of moans and groans about - Rice and Beans!!!!! If you fail the trial, task, bushtuckertrial then no food ladies and gents, ha! All I see from this particular article is Carole looking or seeking attention of some kind! I don't think that we will see much more of Carole personally. She just doesn't [have it] - or as Tracy would say - AVIT

I'm guessing she was paid for this interview? If so what a waste of money lol. That could have gone towards solving world hunger.
