I thought I'd post this for
Mario Fans who may have missed his interview with Davina last friday. And this is my 500th post, so I had to dedicate it to the Mario board:
See what happened when Mario met Davina...
Were you expecting that?
M: It was a tough shot to call. You never know who's gonna win and who's gonna lose.
Your Fan Club... where were they?
M: (Laughing) I haven't got a fan club.
Who do you think nominated you?
M: Rex, Mohamed... B Block.
Mario and Davina watched the nominations that led to his eviction.
Any surprises? Were you surprised Rachel didn't nominate you?
M : Yeah.
She loved you. She thought you were a really nice guy.
Mario does not reply.
Ricky Gervais is a fan. Any idea why that may be?
M: No...
Mario and Davina watch a clip spoofing 'The Office' in which Mario bears an uncanny resemblance to David Brent.
M: (Laughing) I still can't figure out what you're getting at.
What was the deal with the Health and Safety?
M: It was initially about Mikey. I was very passionate about that.
How frustrating was it being with younger, less experienced housemates?
M: Not everyone was less experienced... like Rex The Chef.
You love Rex.
M: (Laughing) I do. He's on my Christmas Card list.
You and Lisa were very physical... you spend your whole life exfoliating..
M: We've got more skins than an onion.
Was it hard to get intimate in the House?
M: It was just the puppet shows. They were pretend.
It must've been hard.
M: It was hard, yeah.
Very hard?
M: (Laughing) That's a leading question...
This week, for the first time since you went in, you had a pop at Lisa. Why was that?
M: I'm very protective of her. She washes up and does everything. She doesn't see everything else that's going on.
Who do you want to leave next?
M: Belinda. Her heart's in the right place but her snoring isn't,
How would you sum up your time in the House?
M: When you walk through those doors it feels amazing. For me, personally... fantastic.
Any regrets?
M: No regrets. I did the Health and Safety for Mikey.
Mikey was fine without you for years before this.
M: But he hasn't been in the House before.
One last question. Mario. Have you ever been to Italy?
M: (Laughing) No.
Grazie Mario! Ladies and Gentlemen... Mario!
