A crushing 68.6% wanted her out. So out she goes.

The interview was diabolical. To think I first welcomed the new panel idea. But perhaps that was more to do with the interviewee, not the procedure. Sophia was interested in what they had to say. They listened to each other, and she was coherent and defended herself intelligently.

Since then it's been downhill all the way. Shrinks who talked psychobabble as if it was fact, not opinion, and celebs who look as though they've never seen the show before in their life.

This time around, for Lisa, Davina glossed over the difficulties: minor rows with Freddie and the like, asked stupid questions, and let the panellists talk all over one another.

What Bea and Noirin made of it, back home on their sofas, who knows. They got a far harder time of it. What, finally, did Noirin do that was so terrible? She kissed a guy.



The longer the series goes on, the more vacuous the interviews become. This isn't always the case. Makosi got a torrid time, in front of a crowd as well, and Jason sat their bemused. He came second in BB5, and Davina sat their ridiculing him.

But it doesn't augur well for the final. She certainly won't give cheeky Charlie a hard time at all. "Maybe you pushed some of your jokes too far". She might just try it once. Then he'll say he never meant anything by it, and she'll then ask him if he fancies Rodrigo. Nothing to see here, let's move along.

I mean, do they all think Lisa is a delicate flower who couldn't take it? Is saying: "I think the reason you're here now is that in the early weeks you surrounded yourself with a gang of hyenas who tore into Freddie for hours on end, behind his back and in front of his face, and you never gave him an even break. He endlessly tried to reason with you and none of you gave a damn".

How hard can it be? It's what the audience wanted to hear. Even the ones who thought Freddie was arrogant, difficult, and the author of his own misfortunes might have wanted to hear it.

As is, Lisa left to a chorus of boos, and she won't yet know why.



Anyway, the game is over now. Even though it's got the worst set of final week housemates since BB6, and even though it's probably the closest final ever, it's also got the least worthy set ever as well. But Sophie's got it all wrapped up. Her Noirin impression will have tipped the balance in her favour, and Siavash once again ballooned a golden chance over the crossbar.

When they were shown the highlights of the programme in which he kissed Noirin, he could have taken it well. He could have laughed gamely, played along with it, and seen the funny side. Instead he did his tortured martyr bit, buried himself under the blanket, asking, self-consciously, "Biggie, why are you doing this to me?"

Can you imagine Freddie, or Marcus doing the great big sulk? Even Lisa would have played along.

So it's Sophie for the win. Mind you, I'd still like it to be Rodrigo, if only because I predicted it on Launch Night

nice first post...

[eye sea]

All BB related interviews are tripe.

Beso - not always agreed with you, but what a great OP!

Finally, after quite some time we get a really well written, well argued piece. (pls see my thread on 'forum implosion'). Thanks for that!!

Unfortunately the 'troll' had to appear before our eyes rather like an apparation - they cease to amaze me in how quick they appear out of nowhere...hopefully banned just as quick.

...Ahem, anyway, I agree with almost all of the OP -- but I do feel that Bea's interview went almost to perfection in terms of what needed to be said, and Freddie's and Marcus' interviews were best of the series - mainly because of their own characteristics.

Apart from that they've not been too good, but personally for me the Lisa interview was THE worse interview I have seen in BB history - for all the reasons you have coherently pointed out.

Great post Beso

I have to agree with you on it, it wasn't an interview at all with Lisa. Nothing of her character was discussed. She won't know how she got on, or why she got the boos coming out.
It still baffles me as to why this happened, everyone saw she has quite a sdtrong character, and can defend herself, but yet they choose not to point out her faults.
Every interview should be the same layout only adapted to the person evicted.
ie.

How they felt coming out? re crowd reaction
How was it like being in the house?
Who they got on with and why?
Who they didn't and why?
then show people nominating them and their reasons (gives them an insight into how they were being perceived while in the house)
then discuss possible reasons why they were evicted.
Then cover major disagreements they had and why.
Then finish on a more upbeat note and discuss their freindships etc
Show best bits.

At least ask them what the public are wanting to know, and also give the HM a chance to defend their actions. Not just ignore them, especially as it was a turning point for most people's opinions on the HM.

Anyway that's just my opinion

I don't remember anyone getting that this year !

Noone did, it was always a great part of interviews in previous series. Evicted HM got a chance to see how others saw them and it was a chance for them to realise where they went wrong.
They don't do it now and they should.

[Beso]

what do you mean thread copied ?

[reallynow]

I think Davina saw how much in shock Lisa was and laid off her!

[JTM45]

Hopeless interview, fairplay.
