Live Eviction Show (Day 7 Highlights and Live Eviction) - Part 2
Emma returned with the next part of the show. “Hello and Welcome back to the first Live Double Eviction of the series. Before the break, we saw Alan, Dani, and Sunetra be saved from the public vote - leaving Dawn, Gareth and Willow in danger. It's time to talk to the house once again.”
“Celebrity Big Brother House this is Emma. Dawn … Gareth … Willow; the viewers have spoken, your fate is sealed. For the last 48 hours, the British public have been voting to evict and I can now reveal the housemate with just 3.6% of votes, and the 1st to be evicted is … Gareth, Gareth you've lost your place in the Celebrity Big Brother House. You have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes.”
Gareth walked down the stairs, to strong boos, before joining Emma in the Interview Stage. “Gareth, I'm so sad that you're out of the house, I think we all had high hopes. How does it feel to be the first housemate evicted from the series, and with less than 4% of the vote to Save?”
Gareth frowned. “I think I hoped for safety - but when you look at the opponents in hindsight they have much more of a fan base so that makes it a little more soft!
Emma nodded. “So why do you think you were the first to be evicted?”
“Kind of the same reason as before really.” Gareth said. “Others had a bigger fan base, and my meltdowns and outbursts probably didn't help my case.”
“As you said just, we did see a lot of your temper in the house.” Emma reiterated. “Do you think that flared up more because of the environment or is that something that's a regular occurrence?”
“I have a temper usually,” Gareth begun. “But I am probably more hesitant in the real world because it's a real experience. In the house you forget the cameras, the public, and everyone else and if something pisses you off, you're not going to hold back.”
Emma agreed. “When you look back on it, do you wish that you held back and regranted yourself?”
Gareth nodded. “Of course I wish I had, but it would have made me less genuine, and in turn made the experience less authentic to me.”
“Do you have any regrets from your time in the house?” Emma continued.
Gareth shook his head. “No. If you dwell on the past too much then, in my opinion, you can never move on. Instead of regretting things I did in there I'm going to learn from them and improve myself.”
“Are you happy to be out of the house?” Emma asked. “Or would you have liked to stayed a little longer?”
Gareth answered honestly. “I think we all go in there wanting to make the final, potentially even win, but that can't happen if someone isn't the first, or second, or third out so it had to be someone, and I suppose it's me!”
“I'm going to let you in on a secret now Gareth.” Once the double eviction is over, four more Housemates are going to be entering! How do you think that's going to shake up the house?”
“Gareth grinned, happy at the twist. “Oh it'll definitely shake it up. Everyone's already formed their relationships so it's probably going to show the cracks.”
“Now really quickly -“ Emma rushed. “Who should leave next tonight, and who should go on to win?”
“Willow to leave, Dawn to win!”
Emma gave him a hug. “Thanks so much for being a part of the show - go and see your family!”
