Big Brother:

My time as a Big Brother Hijacker has been great. I thought it was really interesting how the task developed because they really leant a lesson as a group throughout the day. They started off very seriously and it kind of dipped as they got a bit tired and then they came together again but when the actual time came, and they had to work together, the whole thing kind of fell apart – they were working individually rather than collectively.

I felt bad that they failed the task but they were really cool, a lot of them were like, we don’t mind the basic rations and don’t care about the luxury items but then I saw that Latoya was looking a bit glum and John was looking a bit sad so I felt bad because I really did like them. I thought they were really charming but they didn’t really do what the task demanded.

It’s really interesting actually because they’re a group of peers and they’re all at the forefront of their various fields so they’re all use to being the leader. John’s obviously very much an organiser and an official and he was kind of taking the lead but I think that it’s hard for them to sort of be corralled into working as a team.

As it went on I became more crazed with power and being a huge Big Brother fan it was really nice to actually form the day and drop little things in and see how it played out.

I’m actually sad that I’ve got to go back to America tomorrow – I’m gonna have to get DVD’s sent to keep an eye on them all.

I’ve had a really great time.
