Jason's Final Day Chat


Jason visited the Diary Room this afternoon to reminisce about the last 10 weeks in the Big Brother House and to discuss its impact on him.

Asked how he's feeling about the final day in the House he perkily replied, "Excited... looking forward to finding out what's happening tonight... who's gonna win this show... that's the big event."

But he insisted that it wouldn't be a disappointment if he didn't win. Being in the House on the last day was achievement enough.

And to celebrate his final day, he planned to pamper himself with the beauty goodies provided by Big Brother.

Talking of his turbulent time in the House, Jason expressed his joy at evading eviction and was pleased that he hadn't quit - but admitted that he had found it hard going at times.

"Big Brother decides your moods... it's up to you to sort of combat that and it's been tough for me," he revealed.

Unsure how he had made it to the final week, he suggested that male viewers could identify with his grooming routine - in particular shaving his chest - or if not identify, they would perhaps find it amusing.

Groomed to perfection?


"My grooming routines have got a lot to do with why I'm probably still in here to be honest," he speculated.

And his time in the House has had a significant effect on the Scot. Describing it as tougher than being in the Navy, he believes that he will now appreciate life more.

"I'll just remember it with fondness... it was a godsend for me," he stated and then revealed that the experience had given him breathing space to re-evaluate himself and his life.

He said he had become more patient and is now motivated to change his career path. Laughing, he told Big Brother that he would be more mature and serious in the future.

However, there were things he wouldn't miss - and said he would remain in contact with only four or five housemates.

"That's just the way life is," he said simply and was adamant he bore no grudges.

But he refused to be drawn on who he would not see outside the House and deflected the question when asked.

"Big Brother," he responded, "I don't like to be controlled... I'll be free again".

That you will.

Shell's Final Day Chat


Shell has paid a visit to the Diary Room to reflect on her time in the House.

"It's really exciting... we're going home today," she enthused when asked about the atmosphere.

And she spoke fondly of the last 10 weeks, despite there having been times when she'd wanted to quit.

"It's been excellent," she said emphatically.

Big Brother asked how she thought she had managed to make it to the final week. "I have no idea," she laughed before going on to reveal that the experience had been "much more than I expected."

And she believed that being in the House had encouraged her to try new things.

Reflecting on the more difficult times, she explained how she had dealt with them - by talking things through with Big Brother and her housemates. And not wanting to disappoint her family had strengthened her resolve to stay.

Pondering on who she thought would win, she thought that either Daniel or Nadia were strong contenders declaring, "They're such large characters".

... like ten weeks in a loony bin


And despite believing that she won't win, she will not regret her time in the House, describing it as "an experience and a half".

Unable to pinpoint one best moment, she said that learning about Stuart's friends, Team Handsome, had provided the biggest laugh and that she had loved cooking for the housemates and participating in the tasks.

She confessed she would miss her fellow housemates and also having no responsibility.

And of the conflicts that have occurred over the last 10 weeks she was also level-headed, believing it impossible to live with people "24/7" without an argument... "It really doesn't matter at the end of the day," she concluded.

Relishing her last hours in the House, she had a relaxed day mapped out and planned to straighten her hair, pack her suitcase and think about her family and boyfriend.

But she was pensive about the crowd's reaction after previous housemates had been booed and admitted that, "a lot of people scare me". And the prospect of meeting Davina this evening was "an odd scenario".

But she didn't hesitate when asked to sum up her time in the House.

"10 weeks in a loony bin... three months of just absolute craziness."

You're not wrong.

All the male viewers that I know dont identify with Jason and dont find it amusing - they just find it sad. Most of their comments are completely unrepeatable.

I notice as well that he wants a change of career - to what - answers on a casette that self destructs in 15 seconds. Will he be another Lee and try out for the Dream Boys or will he go in for Mr Universe.
