This might not work, I don't know.
A word in defence of Bubble. It's understandable if he is having delusions about how popular he was with the public because he was obviously popular with many of the people left in the house at that time. They told him he would win the vote easily.

Thanks for the link James - it did work. I'm in awe of your typing Vic.
I had been feeling a bit guilty about my self-righteous character analysis of Bubble, and your comments about being influenced by what people tell you is very true. He is, like the rest of us (esp me) entitled to his moments of self-indulgence and in an environment like the BB house, it's easy to loose your grounding.
Anyway, I was able to read Victoria's interview, and even if I had jumped to a few conclusions, I'm thinking my instincts were right after all. He has extraordinary self-belief in his own humour. I know loads of people were entertained by it, but lots weren't. It's the height of arrogance to go on about how much funnier he was than everyone else, and to think that makes him better than the others. If he's going to play the 'I only act stupid' card, then he can have the decency to assume Helen sometimes does the same for the sake of a funny line. Even if he didn't actually say that people laughed at Helen compared to with him, it seems he thinks it and is happy for others to think that too.
I can't understand the mentality of someone who is that sure they deserve to win, and are that sure they shouldn't have been evicted. Everyone else looked shocked if they weren't nominated, or when they survived eviction. Everyone else said "I thought so" when they were evicted. In fact, the whole interview was far more "I'm great, I'm really funny and everyone loves me" than I could have ever anticipated.
BUT, then I read LEE's interview. Very good work. He was much more humble and very pleasant. Much more normal and didn't seem to be trying too hard to impress. He talked about what he's been up to and things from his life like giving up drinking, and I really liked that side of him. He was talking about things he knew about and seemed to be more genuine, which works for me.
I hope LEE isn't offended, and I'm sure it was because it was the phone, but I think he was being all flirty and lad about town trying too hard to impress Victoria. As it does in many men, this brought out the naff, boring, arrogant side of his personality. I'm hoping it isn't the real him and it was less cringeworthy if you were there.
He is doing a lot, and the marathon is something to be proud of, as is his committment to Macmillan in terms of raising money and spreading the word. There's no doubt in my mind that he does give a sh*t, but that's a basic requirement for me to like someone and something I expect of all my friends. It isn't that unusual in normal people, and I resent the expectation that it is a rare quality we should be humbled by.
I wish Bubble all the best, and hope he is really sucessful in his marathon and fund-raising bid, as I do to all the other people I know taking part and raising money for charity with only an internal email and a space on the notice board for support.
