Sorry 1 more question. In regards to Harry did anyone actually see the funny side of his shopping list prank of Bananas, Frosted Flakes and Milk? How annoyed did Jay actually get or was the full reactIon shown?

As a viewer I genuinely found it funny but can understand how annoying it could have been in the house Still it's better than just chocolate with Caroline.

Tom, a forgotten aspect of your series was Pam Anderson. Did she really stay in the house all day and what would you speak about?

Ask away, least I can do for begging your votes!

Forgive me as my memory is foggy on certain things. I recall finding it funny, however I did remark that it wouldn't be funny in 2 weeks which it wasn't ha! In regards to Jay, I don't think I've seen what his reaction was but I think he just had a short burst of annoyance then was okay-ish with it.

The one day I was so ill, from the lack of food that I was scrunched up in bed all day. They gave us a task to clean the house for food but I don't think it was shown.

I was on BBBots when Caroline did it and said nobody liked a cheap imitation!

Yes. Every year whenever HMs have a consensus in the house and in their eviction interviews who they want to win it results in two responses. Confusion at it not being who each individual is closest to and the wondering what exactly we arn't seeing about this HM.

Faye said in her BOTS interview that she'd been told that we weren't seeing much of you but you sing and dance a lot which we did see just not to a great degree. To be honest this might have worked in your favour. HMs of that type tend to grate on viewers, even Mark was grating on some viewers and by all accounts we weren't shown much of his antics either. Mass amounts of airtime is a poisoned chalice. I can only think of Aaron in the whole history of the show who had the most airtime and did "well".


She was shown having conversations often. Generaly about trivial things. Easy storytelling definitely but again I think worked in her favour.


You've stated that you felt that Conor from the following series was recieving a similar edit to Jay but with his negative bits included. Could you ellaborate on this?

Howdi. Although i reckon BB12 was the worst ever series, i thought you were a nice fella.
Whats in front of you when you're sat in the diary room chair?

I liked Pamela; primarily for giving me an ego boost first night!

Her time in the house was minimal. She came in for tasks, an hour here and there and that was it. All the housemates felt she wasn't sleeping in there. Plus there was no toilet in the room so she had to be leaving at some point!

I don't really remember what I spoke to her about. Although, I will enlighten you on a cringe moment. When we had our hot dates, she asked about my schooling. I told her about my A Levels; in particular, my A Level English Language. Then proceeded to talk about the Hep B leaflet I wrote for it, featuring her as a famous carrier. Complete word vomit! So embarrassing!

I agree , our series is boring to watch.

A camera and that's it.

Thanks it's great getting an insight I do have more questions but I'll post them later or tomorrow

Hey Tom!
Before I ask a question, I must say you came across really well during your time in the house and you and Alex were my favourites, your friendship was really touching!

My question, after being evicted and of course the final happened, how long was it before you watched it back? And who was your favourite housemate from BB13?

Would you ever do a 'Big Brother: All Stars' series if you were asked to do BB again? What would you do differently?

Tom thanks for answering all these questions. I've gotta say I remember when the money appeared on the wall and everyone was talking about who was going to win and people were mentioning you I knew that you had been edited out a lot - had suspected that already though. You only really got shown through your friendship with Alex and your part in Aaron's journey. Although you did come across as a strong character and I remember we did get to see your point of view to a lot of things going on more in the second half of the series but by then Aaron, Alex and Jay had become the housemates everyone was backing.

Aaron had the older female vote + a lot of the super BB fans, Jay had the teenage girls vote, Alex had the humour vote, Louise had the mens vote which left you out a little bit. At the time I though it was a close run things but looking back it's easy to see how it was going to go.

I wish we had seen more of your relationships in the house because other than Alex I couldn't have said who you got on with best. At one point they really got behind the Alex and Harry friendship, obviously pushing how opposite they seemed to be.

Ok pal

How many rounds of auditions did you go through? i've always been interested in the process. I gotta call back this year (first time i've applied, just wanted to see what would happen) but i couldn't be bothered trecking to Manchester on my own

Hi Tom . Was Mark walking a big shock to you or was it expected and did you ever seriously consider quitting.


Also did you find Fayes bum hypnotic or was that just me.

I'll answer the longer ones later!

No, a few days prior he said he wanted to go. We discussed it over the next few days so when he announced it I already knew. I was really upset though, emotionally I was a bit sore from my Grandad's funeral. I felt like I'd lost my guy mate, which was rubbish.

No, I was only hypnotised when beating it into sock wrestling submission!

Hello Tom

Were you surprised that Aaron won or did you expect it to be someone else?

Did you know there was no live stream when in the house and were you disappointed when you found out?

Some great responses by Thomas on this thread, Do you like the sound of the Secrets & Lies twist in the the next series of Big Brother?

Good thread. And nice honest answers.

Really? I doubt many would have thought that. We had numerous polls to tell us who was popular.

Despite BOTS trying throw us off by trying to convince us certain HMs were more popular than they were and some were unpopular when they weren't we pretty much knew the placings. The only questionmarks were Alex, she was accepted as the frontrunner from early on for no other reason than being the "type" but her fanbase was never actualy tested and whether Jay's fans were as numerous as they were noisy.

Again, airtime isn't that important. Most winners have not recieved the lions share of airtime.

A personal question from me, so you don't have to answer just ignore if you don't want to, but when did you fall for Alex? In the house or recently, I never saw that one coming I thought you were just mates

You definitely should have won that year , by far the funniest and most intelligent housemate, loved watching you even if you were not given loads of airtime

Hey Tom, good luck with the Uni thing, I thought you were a great housemate and loved you and Faye in the house you had some great moments.

Halloween Noms, could you explain what happened in chronological order. The whole thing seems to have been edited within an inch of it's life. It's a big mess that no one can really understand.

Also why did you all get so cross with Aaron, it was pretty obvious they (BB) were never going to let you guys ensure you were all up, and he wasn't the only one to go against the plan?

One last Q If they didn't have halloween noms who would you have voted for? We saw you have discussions with Jay and Aaron about noms in the run up to Halloween and I think popular opinion on here was that you'd have stuck with Aaron and Faye and voted Jay and Lou.

I loved BB12 and thought it was full of interesting characters. Loved Aaron, yourself, Harry and Anton.It appeared a very competitive, tense series with lots of game playing. Also Jay struck me as a very aggressive guy.

Duplicate post

Yeah there's a scene where we're sat on the chair and I'm wearing an orange shirt and we're discussing how good BB had been; it's really poignant (for me anyway!). We honestly did have the best time.

I think may a few weeks, I've never watched all our series back as I find a lot of it boring! BB13 I quite liked Lydia, Deana and Luke A (he seemed nicest).

No that's fine. Yeah it was in the house but I didn't want to play it out in front of cameras!

Thank you mate!
