I thought I'd bump this thread because it's been far too long since the previous post.
I want to let all you Amy fans know that I sent her an email a few months ago, and she replied! What a sweetheart. I won't quote any of her reply (I'll keep it confidential), but the following is extracted from my email to her:-
... I feel very privileged to be able to write to you and tell you that you were by far my favourite BBCH house mate. In fact, you're among my favourite BB house mates of all time ... I'm liking Rachel so far from BB9. Make of that what you will!
Why do I like you so much? To sum it up, I think you helped enormously to restore the reputation of women on BB and on reality TV generally. You came across as very emotionally mature, highly intelligent, witty and fair (you were particularly brilliant in the SAS task). Unlike many who've gone before you, you never acted like a spoilt little girl, scream or bitch. Although you're very attractive, you didn't seem aware of it and didn't flirt with your male house mates (not that there's anything wrong with a bit a harmless flirtation!). In fact, I don't think you put a foot wrong. Well done you! If there was any justice, you'd have won BBCH, with John in second place.
I was a regular visitor to the Digital Spy forums during and after your appearance on the show and was pleased to see that you have many fans who share my views. Unfortunately, I noticed some comments about you that were less than kind (I know you're aware of this, otherwise I wouldn't mention it), but there were always those who came to your defence. The reason I bring this up is to express my belief that these people were simply jealous of you because they don't possess your positive attributes. I guess they relate more to the type of woman who is, in my opinion, an embarrassment to the female sex (I'm not referring to any of your fellow house mates, by the way). They were too cynical to see that there was no hidden agenda with you and too stupid to realise your ability to show women in a positive light and more than a match for men in terms of intelligence, humour and level-headedness. Some even disliked you simply because they saw some physical resemblance to Heather Mills ... Maybe you seemed too good to be true, so they wanted to pull you down. Well, their cynicism didn't wash with me or anyone else who supported you on the forums. Amy Jackson fans are discerning and intelligent - even if I say it myself! We know that what we saw was the real you - no doubt at all.
It would be great to see you on TV again. I think you'd make an excellent presenter (of an arts show?), for example. However, if future TV appearances aren't for you, that's our loss not yours.
A reply would be fantastic, but I won't expect one. More importantly, I hope you get to read my message and that it makes you feel (even more) proud of your achievements.
Very best wishes ...
I was thrilled to receive quite a long reply, in which she was very humble. My opinion of her would have remained high if she hadn't replied, but it was even higher after that.
I liked Jeremy and Emilia (who get a lot of appreciation support), but I think Amy deserves more recognition. Come on Amy fans - keep her appreciation thread on the front page!
