If you have ever been on a training course with a job where you have to interview members of the public, you may get someone coming in as a role-player. This is completely different to an actor, as you have to step into a role, you have no script, and you have to take on the traits of someone else and improvise. I don't think anyone could do that for nine weeks unless they were trained for undercover surveillance! So the fact that any of the housemates may have had some small parts in TV programs is neither here nor there.

To me, Kate, Jonny and Alison were the most warm people in there. Sure they played up to the cameras just as extroverted people play up to the crowds in a night club. That is how some people are. But they entertained me. And that is why I liked them!
