Pete wins Big Brother
It was never really in any doubt from week 1. And from all we can deduce, he was put in the house to win by Endemol. It interests me that he has Tourettes and whether going into the house made him exploited, a sort of modern day freak in the travelling show. After hearing his interview with Davina this evening, where he said a year ago he was in a living hell, what responsibility do Endemol have in ensuring that he doesn't spiral back into that hell after the elation of winning wears off?
As well as hoping and praying for the best for his future, I pray that his exposure has positively increased awareness about Tourettes and made people a little more accepting of people with mental health issues.

I thought his speech about spirals and being in a living hell was quite disturbing really, not because I don't think he can cope - as I do have faith in him - but because this makes a number of housemates picked who have a had a history of mental health problems. I really think they are not being responsible in their selection process.
That really is a concern. Apparantly Dawn has been sectioned and Sezer accused of rape. Nikki is obviously unbalanced and it alarms me that potential contestants have to undergo "massive" personality profiling and time with psychologists and yet still make it to the show where they crumble very publicly. Great viewing but what about when the 13 weeks are over? Who will care about Pete if he goes on a massive bender or crashes into a depressive heap? I'm guessing Pete will have support because he won but Nikki is another story...
(Thanks for dropping by...)
Pete is lovely, glad he won :) He is friends with a friend of mine. I hope all the people in the house get the support they need now they are on the outside, weather they won or not.
