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!
