Yep thats up there with me as well, it was disgusting and I hope the producer who made that decision is no longer with the Show.
Best one has to be the posh lazy girl spending the entire budget on Chocolate

Hello Everybody,
My name is Gerry, you might remember me from series 8.
I joined this forum today because I was asked to join Rylan's bar at BBBTS tonight and wanted to read people's opinions about this year's crop of housemates ..
I bumped into this thread & I feel it could be useful to separate some forum speculation from my personal reality.
By week 11 I had became acutely depressed.
Every night I would sneak to the diary room to take more and more antidepressants.
I do NOT blame the producers, in fact I am grateful they gave the chance to a person with mental health issues to enter the show.
I have always been open about my history of depression & have fought to remove the stigma of mental illness.
The production team knew all along that I was gonna walk out that Friday because we arranged it together. That footage was deemed confidential and was never broadcast.
Indeed Carol got the vast majority of votes that night but she needed the money because her son was in a secure hospital unit. This is the reason she was falling apart. I was asked specifically not to mention anything about Carol's son.
To say Carol is very territorial and quite controlling is an understatement.
BUT I can't help it. I DID feel so sorry for her.
Another thing that I read here is that I did it to save face. That is not true.
The Gurus would had voted Carol to go 2 to 1.
Sam & Amanda would had voted for me to stay. (By the way I am still good friends with the twins, the nicest people I know, always been there for me)
Tracey would had voted for Carol to stay. (No surprises there, we never got on really.
Ziggy was considered the swing vote. Well I can GUARANTEE you that Ziggy would had voted for Carol that night. He has repeated this to me countless times. He felt very guilty he had nominated me the week before & he was not in great terms with Carol during the guru week.
In the end of the day all this DID not matter. I WANTED to go. So what if I had stayed until the end. We all knew that Brian was going to win. We could hear shouting from the wall all the time with his name. He also knew all along.
After my eviction interview, Phil Edgar Jones the genius that made BB into the most talked show of the noughties, told me "Why did you do that? You would had come third!" to which I replied: "Phil, in my book you either come or you don't." And we both laughed!
Anyway, I never thought I will still be there two weeks before the final. I felt exhausted, depressed, and missing my friends.
My face during the Davina interview is one RELIEF. I was pleasantly surprised that the audience didn't hate me after all & I got predominately cheered on my way out.
(Acceptance was VERY important in that stage of my life mainly because my father had disinherited me because of my sexuality)
I hope this post illuminates some of my "worst personal depressions" & I promise in the future on my day off we can do a thread here and share with you some insider's information about what REALLY happened in BB and what you actually saw.

That wasn't really Becki's fault. It was just a horrible task, which would have made her unpopular anyway.

Gerreeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just about to jump in and disagree with the post about you anyway, and there you were! I feel like Aladdin seeing the genie. I would love to be able to ask you some questions, but it would be a big help if you could say when, because I am not watching BB any more, so I only come here to see if there are any discussions about previous series.
I thought your exit interview (and this is not me being all creepy, I have said this loads of times) was one of the all-time best. And much better to leave before the final week than as a double, as Carole and Jonty had to do. I had not realized you were unwell during the series.
In the meantime...really bad decisions....
BB13 Becky visibly and dramatically turning against the outsiders and trying to be Conor's new best friend, even though she knew what he was like, presumably because she saw the insiders as being the alpha gang who were going to win.
BB13 Luke S, snapping up the romance story early and hard, then realizing his chosen one was coarse and ignorant beyond belief, while he fancied himself as a bit of a sophisticate.
BB11 Victoria pitching for the 'cougar' role, even though there was absolutely no one to cougar with, so she ended up looking like a bit of a spare part, and drunk at that.
The 'Amigos' in BB10 sitting round for hours at a time talking about strategies and game-plans, but failing to realize they could only survive in the house if they were actually nice to some of the (bigger) group.
BB9 Sara Folino, otherwise a very popular housemate, managing to piss off fans of Rachel, Mo and Darnell, all of them popular in their own right.
Grace, Mikey, Nikki and Richard in BB7 utterly failing to register that Aisleyne was popular, and that the public would not want to see her being savaged.
The girls in BB4 hearing the call out of someone to come to the diary room for a special task (the Africa trip; though of course they didn't know that) and saying languidly, "oh, one of the boys can get that".

It is, I thought Gerry was a great housemate and was sorry when he went. I just hope his experience of DSBB is a good one.

Awesome. Thanks for posting.
Series 8 is my third favorite after 7 and 9. Big Samanda twins fan.
I always wondered something about that series, was the perception in the house that the twin actually did like and was into Brian Belo or did it seem more like it was being somewhat forced on her and she was too nice to dismiss it outright... because it felt to me watching the highlights that it was more forced onto her than she was actually into it. Even in the post questions people in the interviews was pressuring her to be into Belo and he was so popular that i would imagine it's an overwhelming pressure on her.

No-one wins BB by picking on any HM.
Hazel was exactly popular.
Gina just exposed herself as snobbish, bitter, spiteful & jealous; that's what she did wrong.
BB10 - Siavash acting like a complete lovesick tit over Noirin.
It exposed him as cheat with no feelings for his girlfriend & even though Noirin took the brunt of the ire in places like this for some inexcusable reason, I think it cost Siavash the win that year.

Ah Gerry, thanks so much for posting and how incredibly interesting to get a background insight into what you experienced. Never in a million years would I have known about your struggle with depression in the house. Kudos to you for being able to carry on in what must have been a very stressful enviroment. Hope life has been kind to you post BB
I wish you all the best for your future. Scarlett xx

Hi Gerry. I was gutted when you left. It helps now to know that you wanted out and had a wonderful opportunity to do so in a noble way (and create a bit of drama for the viewers).
BB13 - Calum's phony war with Dexter.
He seemed intent on perpetuating a rivalry with Dexter who was about as threatening as a newborn kitten.
He really made a fool of himself that series.

Jonathan. Bad decision, yes. I never thought her crying was fake. I don't think there has ever been another occasion when one housemate on her own has had to evict someone she likes; it was a really horrible thing to do to her.

Yes she had to choose between the two and chose to save Spiral

What do you think should have told them Aisleyne was popular?
Anyway, it's good to see Gerry here, and with such an interesting and informative post.

To be fair to Aisleyne, none of us had any idea what a hothead Spiral would turn out to be, after he left the HND and for all we know, Jonathan could've turned out to be a total bore.

After my eviction interview, Phil Edgar Jones the genius that made BB into the most talked show of the noughties, told me "Why did you do that? You would had come third!" to which I replied: "Phil, in my book you either come or you don't." And we both laughed!
Anyway, I never thought I will still be there two weeks before the final. I felt exhausted, depressed, and missing my friends.
My face during the Davina interview is one RELIEF. I was pleasantly surprised that the audience didn't hate me after all & I got predominately cheered on my way out.
(Acceptance was VERY important in that stage of my life mainly because my father had disinherited me because of my sexuality)
I hope this post illuminates some of my "worst personal depressions" & I promise in the future on my day off we can do a thread here and share with you some insider's information about what REALLY happened in BB and what you actually saw.
by the way I am @GerryGreek on Twitter & can be found on Facebook as: Gerry Vallerio Stergiopoulos.

Hi, Gerry. Your post was very illuminating and really does show that even in the days of live feed, we really were at the mercy of the edit room. I hope you don't think I was too hard on you. You were one of my favourites, along with the twins and Chanelle and I already follow you on Twitter. You've sent me a few messages about your favourite Greek films and stuff.
ps, what's Freddy up to, these days?

How does this differ from anything I said?
