[Romantic Old Bird]

Ooooh dear! I've just had read Bubble's interview for the first time.

Now I thought Bubble redeemed himself quite a lot in his eviction interview. He seemed to be happy to concentrate on positives regarding his fellow housemates. I remarked on that occasion to OH that he seemed a really nice guy.

This interview however does betray a somewhat inflated ego. He was not, in my opinion, the second funniest person in the house. Brian and Helen were both oceans funnier than he was. They both fed him opportunities to give the punch line;
'i.e., 'Bubble, did you take down my knickers?'

Bubble mate, you don't REALLY think Helen didn't gift you that, do you?

In fact, given the opportunity, in dry wit, observation and intelligent humour, Dean was funnier as well.

I think he is deluding himself completely on the Paul Clarke v. Bubble vote. I know BB were manipulative but they had independant adjudicators, and could be challenged to justify their figures.
--------------------------------------------------
Bubble, you were moody and annoying.
I know you hurt your leg, but for a couple of weeks all we saw was you whingeing and moping around. That could well have been a proportional misrepresentation by BB I know, but the 23 thing to Brian? And the hats? You were practically psychotic when Brian hid them! Sad! Come on!

What I saw was you taking the nomination badly, wallowing in self-pity, and your housemate buddies sympathising openly with you, and ignoring Paul. It was his third nomination, he took it on the chin, and did not display any ill-will to the housemates who rejected him. The nominations did take away the cheerful openness he displayed in his first two weeks, but he showed a LOT of character.

We empathised with him. He was a nice ordinary lad. He was 'everyman' in the house and at that stage his flirting with Helen was only at the laugh stage. It's certainly not the reason I voted you out!
--------------------------------------------
I applaud the fact that Bubble is doing the London for charity, but I hope he doesn't think it makes him a saint. Almost everybody does it for that same reason, personal challenge and a good cause. He is using his higher profile for a good reason, but it won't do him any harm either.

I have supported my husband and sons completing the London and other marathons on numerous occasions. They do it for the right reasons too, but afterwards they anonymously donate the money they raise!

But hey, I'm sure Bubble is a good bloke really, and he has to capitalise on being a 'good pa' because he hasn't any alternative profession to turn to.

Bubble bragged in the house that he had 'had' at least 100 women. A proud boast indeed, so sensitive. I'm sure they were all delightful young ladies. However, despite this awesome prowess, I don't think the girls were screaming for him when he opened the HMV store in Basildon with Mr Clarke.

So, he needs to capitalise on his strengths and to continue to develop his comedic skills. In a year or so, the PA's will dry up as the rounds soak up more and more ex-reality show hopefuls.

Thankyou for the interview Victoria, you've met and obviously like the guy, so I'm sure he is a nice bloke. I just think it's a pity has had to rationalise his early departure from the house by crying 'foul'.

The 'public vote' got Bubble out, and he effectively defeated himself.
