Me again…
During my time as a Hijacker I became a 'deskbot'. The weird thing is you become oddly attached to the housemates in a way that takes you by suprise which is strange, if something upsets them then you feel upset and if they're happy you feel happy and its really weird as I expected to feel a lot more distant from the whole process but actually you do become a lot more emotionally attached than I thought you would. It's not going to be easy for the other hijackers to stay distant and they will have a lot more invested in the people in the house than they might expect.
I think this group are a lot warmer and more likable than the usual housemates. I might be kidding myself, but I sense that you route for them more than you do usually. It might be because they are a bit younger and because most of them genuinely seem to have a talent that a lot of people at home don't have so you're not looking at them wondering why the hell they are on TV. When you see what Amelia and Victor do, and the number of hours a day they have to dedicate to their craft, when you hear Calista sing and think that's as good as anything I've heard Mika do this year then you realise that actually these are very promising people.
Actually, weirdly I think some of them will go on to be so big that you'll forget they were ever in this show because their potential on screen is really great.
Someone who will come into their own in the next few days is Latoya. I don't think she has had that much screen time yet and I would like to follow her journey. She's a little quieter than some of the other housemates but she obviously has a lot of ability and is a lot of fun.
Would I do it again? Yes, in fact I would most probably pay you!
