Look don't worry. Look at it this way, he feels responsible for his Mother and his ten year old brother.
His Father takes care of his Mother, his Grandmother.
He has to make a very hard decision.
He has ADHD, OCD and tourettes not an easy outlook for a career in life is it?
As far as I can see he did a lot for the band.
I am sure when the money starts coming in he will make sure the band are ok.
To be honest I am concerned about him, he is emotional and will be feeling awful at the moment. I hope this doesn't all backfire and make him descend into a depressive state.
He is not responsible for the band, the leader is 37 years old and they have been going for a long time. If they were given the same chance without him they would have jumped at it.

I'm not so sure anymore
i must admit im seeing a different side to pete now, and i think ive just been in denial about this but i did see a difference in pete in the last week of bb too. his true colours did come out a little bit
or maybe he was just changing.
i dont know, no doubt tomorrow i'll be back into 'pete's so wicked and whoever hates him is a fool' mode
i think im easily influenced considering im letting all these stupid articles about 'ditching' and 'dumping' get to me
i guess what i think is that hes a much stronger and opinionated person than i might have thought he was.
at first he seemed like the kind of guy you just wanted to look after but now it seems that he's .. a man.
he went in a boy and came out a man. forget glyn
I have officialy lost the plot. I'm rambling on about complete nonsense, lmao

I have to agree Kie-Kie.
Pete has no choice really but to make the most of the oppotunities that come his way....but I dont for one minute think this has been easy for him...which is probably why it took him so long to make up his mind..bless him..he must be torn in two.

Exactly. I am really concerned what the effect it will have on him. I think it would have been hell for him making the decision.

Couldn't agree more - I've been starting to worry more and more about him all day. Really hope he's okay
Please try not to let all the negative articles get to you BBPeteFan!
D'yknow I actually like Pete more than I did, rather than less lately (I never voted for him during the show, and I kind of blew hot and cold about him and Nikki).
If he's becoming a bit more decisive that's no bad thing in my opinion. I get the feeling he was a bit unsure of his own identity, and that he was almost 'writing his life' for the cameras (not a deceptive way).
Through making some decisions about direction and working on his autobiography he may find some peace and self-belief, or that's what I hope any way.

just caught up after another evening of ironing
The problem with BB finishing is that I know have to change my house from something that looks like it belongs on the life of grime back into the family home
Just want to say hi to BB6fan and also keep the faith bbpetefan.

OMG just realised how cheesy that sounded
I confess I have not read all the stuff about Pete leaving/not leaving Daddy Fantastic and all that it might entail, but I think it's important to bear in mind that, realistically, someone with severe TS would be regarded as virtually unemployable in any 'regular' line of work. For someone like Pete, there are just not the same work opportunities available as there are for most people. Work of a creative nature and, even then, only within certain limits, is probably Pete's best hope of a career of any kind, so, if he is offered, on the back of winning Big Brother, the opportunity to do something exciting that really appeals to him, it would be very hard for him to turn it down, much more so than it would be for most BB HMs. For that reason, I don't feel inclined to judge him harshly for accepting what must seem like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it meant leaving his band. In the music world, that kind of thing happens all the time anyway. It's hard for those left behind, of course, but I'm pretty sure any one of them would have done the same in the same circumstances.

Same here. I have grown fonder of Pete and his coping in situations he may have found hard at one time
I think the fact he has had such positive response from most media and the public has helped boost his confidence and that's got to be good hasn't it
His separation from daddy 'not so' fantastic is
another step in his rehabilitation, and it
runs consistent with his desire to
save himself. Who knows
what went with
the band.
It might have been the
epicenter of his drug culture.
It might have promoted and encouraged
his particular madness and was very
nearly the undoing of him.
At least Wobbly Bob can sit on
his mountain of rubbish
and declare it, his
kingdom now

Exactly. Thank you for recognising that particular angle for people like Pete. You got it spot on. Thank you.

Come back soon. I think you may be right.
Oi mcvillian..........................I did not say this!
So how come you made out in your post (#2501 ) that I have said that?
Quote:
“It's fine if you do a documentary to raise awareness, but do not think of doing a national TV competition because it would be so wrong. All your dreams of becoming rich and famous or whatever must die because, you know, you are disabled.
You can only have a career in community work or the voluntary sector, raising awareness and reminding everyone that you're a sufferer, struggling against discrimination, prejudices and all that crap. Go forth, my friends, and show them how we have suffered.”

You can pre-order Pete's book on Play.com and also Amazon, it is slightly dearer on Play.com. but with postage added into the cost already, it probably acually works out slightly cheaper and they are also very good at posting stuff out pretty quick

Morning all
I'm just quickly catching up before I go off on the school run
I agree with everything that has been posted here, especially the comments by Lulu, Sidney and indecisive-one.
Pete visibly changed in the BB house and found his confidence again..he is now in a position he could only ever have dreamed of before.
I admire him greatly for never giving up on his dreams, no matter what the obsticles..it takes courage..a lot more that I have, I gave upon mine.
Susann, thanks for those links, I am going to pre-order my copy I think...I dont want to get left without one
And Micky1, our house perminantly looks like it belongs on the life of grime...

I have to say i am with you on this one Sydneyhopper. Pete will do so much better going it alone, Good luck to him, he's moving on with his life, which given opportunity is what most people would do.
Morning everyone, and morning Gambit , if you are looking in.
Hi everyone...
I just thought I'd pop in! My house is a total tip also!!
Think Pete is allowed to consider the options open to him, that are best for him and those he loves and supports - good for him. DF have done well enough from Pete's high profile...now he needs to take control of his own life. I agree, his confidence has grown and I wish him well.

Morning everyone - just nipped in here to catch up on all the posts and to calm down.
There's a little text message from a woman- with tiny photo - in one of the letter pages of the dailies today taking a real swipe at Pete and Nikki. It states that their appearance on JR has made her, and I quote "fear for the future of the human race". Sweeping statement or what!
I was pleased though that a columnist in the same paper didn't mention either of them when he was commenting on his disappointment with one of the other guests on the show.
Also just wanted to say no - one should ever give up on their dreams - one day... however far in the future...they may come true. Mine have after waiting twenty odd years!!!!

Huh? That's a mock memo I created for the national disability community. You definitely didn't write that. I did.

Thats brilliant itsy bitsy
I believe life has a way of working out....and usually for the best..
As for the text message in the paper..I hardly think Pete and Nikki are going to bring about the distruction of humanity ..the very idea is hilerious
Some people need to get things into perspective I think BTW, there is an interview with the said couple in OK this week...with lovely pictures too
...might be worth taking a look....if you think humanity can survive it LOL
