In the final shakeout, when it got to "positive votes to win" as opposed to "negative votes for eviction", Makosi came 3rd out of 5. That means a lot of people did like her and wanted to hear her interview.

A bit of pantomime booing as people come out of the house is par for the course these days, sadly, but she obviously had a number of supporters at home, and they had the right to hear her interview.

All that happened was that she was forced into a defensive mode, and the opportunity to open her up and find out what drove her was gone.

I mentioned the London Bombings in my earlier post. All the housemates as they have come out since 7th July would be totally unaware of them. They are going to find out as soon as they get time to breathe! I have felt sorry for all of them - how guilty must they feel, realising they were enjoying themselves on the telly blissfully unaware of it. And did anyone they know get killed?

We have a prime minister who took our country into a war that most of us opposed resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people abroad. We have an opposition leader who would have done the same thing. We have terrorists in our midst who have killed innocent people here.

Certainly puts a bit of "Drama Queen" behaviour and a few porkies into perspective, doesn't it?
