Still, I was pleased to see neither he nor Kinga got an especially rough reception from the mob. Craig was able to laugh at himself in his eviction interview and Kinga showed her heart was as big as her mouth and her buxom curves combined.
The real wrath had been reserved for Big Mak, and it was relentless.
I don’t think there was a moment during her interview with Davina when the mood mellowed. There were cat-calls and chants of “Liar, Liar” and “Off, Off, Off”. Her reception was unheard of in Big Brother history.
And if I had been there I think I’d have broken all my principles and booed myself.
The revelations this week that she was an actress whom Endemol had hired after seeing an audition tape are nonsense.
My understanding is that Endemol paid the agency for use of a studio room. I don’t believe the story has any credibility at all.
The feeling that they have been conned might have contributed to the crowd’s hostility, but a bigger factor was Makosi herself.
People like a loveable rogue, but to me, she was just nasty. Nobody could believe anything she said in the House, she gave a masterclass in deceit and untrustworthiness.
Even so, I’ve been asked if she deserved such a hard time, given that she had just put a few noses out of joint. After all, nobody died.
My answer is — yes.
Remorse
She had an opportunity to redeem herself in her interview yet she seemed completely unrepentant when talking to Davina, who was astonished by her lack of remorse and humility.
But the whole “Makosi-gate” furore does raise a valid point about the audition process for Big Brother. A couple of years ago, you had to apply on paper. Now you have to sell yourself in one minute of shouting your mouth off in a booth.
