    More negative stuff in the Telegraph

    "The programme's finale on Friday attracted 8.2 million viewers but some were shocked by the frenzied reaction of Pete Bennett, who suffers from Tourette's syndrome, when told that he had won. The 24-year-old leapt about uncontrollably and threw furniture around.

    Concerns were also expressed about the pressure put on Nikki Grahame, a contestant who has a history of mental illness. She became hysterical when told she had finished only fifth and later had to abandon an interview with presenter Davina McCall when she was unable to speak."

    but they are right, there are meant to be tests before the H/M went in but they obviously arent through as they claim. Those three should never have gone in. You dont need to be an expert to see that. I mean the excuse that was handed out was that the H/Ms didnt tell them about their mental issues, but, firstly, isnt that what experts are meant to find out, whether the contestant was lying or not, and, secondly, even if you let that excuse go, why did they allow Nikki to go back when EVERYONE knew of her past and possibly present mental health.

    I do care! There is a worldwide trafficking of women and children sex slaves and all because too many men think only with their d**ks and refuse to accept their culpability in helping to sustain such a degrading and vile trade. :mad: It doesn't help when the likes of Nikki glamorise it by claiming that she was paid £500 a night, didn't have to have sex and got to spend time with Kate Moss's current boyfriend. :rolleyes: I discovered, after the event, that a woman I was talking to once was also a Madam who ran an escort agency. One of her girls ended up being strangled by a client. What chance would Nikki have had with an irate customer who wanted his money's worth!

    I agree with you. I think we are looking at it from a different angle. Firstly it sickens me what goes on under our noses in this country about sex slaves and trafficking. I cant tell you how much it does. My comments were at not blaming the women who on their own free will do escort work (that I believe is different) and then appear on a show like BB. If the papers didnt rake it up the problem that she might glamourise it, wouldnt be there.

    Absolutely. It was disturbing viewing and has certainly changed nikki and shabaz's lives for the worse.

    I still haver a problem with women turnng to escort work because they become part of the problem the same way someone who decides to sell class A drugs even in a small way to ease ther own financial situation becomes a part of the Drug problem.lf Nikki could afford to dress well enough to get into Chinawhites and be approached by a Madam, she could hardly have been on the breadline or on the streets.
    Still, IF what she says is true and I am highly sceptical, Nikki was very fortunate to get out of it quickly and safely. She seems neither physically or mentally streetwise to handle such a potentially dangerous situation.

    Yeah, absolutely. But my god, how many prostitutes are there in London? They come in all shapes and sizes (no pun intended :D ) and many don't speak English which helps on the old anonymity front. But then I guess if your thrill is getting an "escort" rather than a "prostitute" or getting "caught" is your bag, it's perfectly possible I suppose.

    Anybody who believes an escort does not have sex if required is VERY naive !

    Of course the Agency pretends they are just companions but anyone who knows anything about it knows the reality .

    It may be blunt , but the truth is Nikki was prepared to prostitute herself for money . She is not the first and wont be the last .
    More public figures have been involved than would care to admit over the years . Heather Mills is not really so shocking . Lots of models and glamour girls get involved .

    I suppose a modern variance on escort work is to sleep with someone famous and then get paid by selling the story to the media as South African Vanessa did with that cricketeer. She made me angry like Grace as she was equally scathing about the female HMs ambitions to do lads mags and said she would never lower herself. Ended up doing soft porn lesbian shoots with Sam Heuston. :rolleyes:

    Yep i guess that is true .

    London night clubs have these tarts around whose only ambition is to sell a kiss and tell . Very sad really .

    The reality is when money is involved people will decide its more important than `values` :)

    Although , to be honest , i dont see much wrong with most of the lads mags . They are just soft glamour shots , lets face it .

    Bit different to a legs on the mantlepiece gyno photo shoot i guess :)

    If you were Aisleyne and she is offered £20k to pose in underwear you would be daft not to , lets be honest here .

    Well assuming the other two were of the same caliber as Pete Doherty, they may have just all mistook this girl with her patronising and deliberate speech, in their wasted state, to be doing some sort of social work.

    They had her clean their bathrooms.

    Nikki has now signed with E4 as a presenter according to BBC News:

    On Friday, Nikki - a model who has now been signed up as a presenter by E4 - was booed by sections of the crowd and appeared stunned by their reaction.
    Anyone would think that Nikki had come 2nd going by the order of the photos, and there are only photos of Pete, Nikki and Glyn - none of Richard, Ash or Jennie.

    Nikki was signed up before she rentered the house for Princess Nikki. Doesn't mean the programme has to go ahead although they would probably have to compsenate her if it doesn't. After her public reception and the fact that she polled so badly and could not give a coherent public performance,Endermol might decide to cut their losses. They based their original offer on how Nikki was perceived before she went back into the house after all. No way would they have offered her a show on the basis of the finale alone.

    Nikki wont last .

    Dermot let the cat out of the bag when he said the production crew were relieved when she went back in the house because she was such a pain around the set .

    She will never be reliable or professional .

    Do they mean this Princess Nikki rubbish or are they lining her up to front progs ?
    I would be amazed myeslf , but there you go .

    There are pictures of them all. It says quite clearly under Nikki's picture 'In Pictures. Big Brother final'. You just click on that for the pics. It's probably easier than putting all the pictures on the page to do it that way.

    She was asked to do a series before she went back into the house. Also, for what it's worth, Nikki's media value is incredibly high (it's dipped a bit now, but still higher than the majority of HMs) because, whether they like her or not, the majority of the public largely associate BB7 with her, hence many articles containing photos of her, even though some BB-related news items have nothing to do with her.

    Is Nikki saying that she met up with three men through the escort agency but didn't sleep with any of them? What did she think she was working for the agency for? I thought everybody knew that escort agencies were a cover for prostitution - just like massage parlours.

    That's the beauty of the internet - it's clickable! :D

    If I were an editor I'd put that picture of nikki there too... it certainly makes the reader stop and think "wtf is that...?!" :D

    Good grief! :eek:

    I just Googled and there are spin-off sites linked to Carmen's Secrets and other escort agencies that describe the girls, say whether they indulge in fetishes, describes their erm.. private parts... and lists what they are willing to do. NO ONE could go on sites like that without knowing what it was about.

    I think you will find that number of top escort agencies absolutely forbid sex of any description. Its a sackable offence. (Well they all do, its against the law) But you get my drift.


    I haven't used one - never had any need - BUT my understanding is that escort work leaves actual sex up to the escort. the agency get the bunce for the escorting, but whether the escort earns any extra is up to them.

    there has to be a difference between theory and practice or the agency would be liable to conviction for "living off immoral earnings" etc. common sense.

    Seems the agency has a website.
    All rates are clearly stated on each lady's title page. For duos, simply add together each girl's individual fee. Bookings with couples will attract an additional cost of £100 per hour.

    Our ladies do not offer any illegal or immoral services. Fees paid to the escort are for the time and companionship only. Anything implied or inferred within these pages is not to be taken as inducement for payment for anything other than time and companionship.

    Laughable. Overnight bookings.. but no illegal or immoral services..
