Hi Aisleyne
There are lots of things that I look for in a Big Brother contestant but what impresses me the most is how they treat other people. Some viewers might be attracted to the entertainment value: laughing at Nikki's tantrums or Glyn's naivety or Richard's cutting wit but it all pales to insignificance against the qualities that matter: compassion, consideration, loyalty, humility and a willingness to stand up for what you believe in. I've never seen a Big Brother contestant who embodies so many standout qualities and it was heartbreaking to watch the way so many people came to misunderstand you and to see how the other housemates treated you behind your back.
A lot of people today are too cynical. Qualities like yours seem so rare nowadays that people's first reaction is to disbelieve them, to assign some ulterior motive, particularly when they know a cash prize is at stake.
It was great to see that the cynicism gave way in the end and secured you a third place. It wasn't quite the win we were hoping for but the look of amazement on your face each time another housemate went before you made it all worthwhile and I'd like to think that we Fakers were at least partly instrumental in that turnaround.
I hope you have a brilliant future on the back of BB and please don’t get too embarrassed by all the praise we heap on you over here. It's nothing less than you deserve ;D
Regards
Julian
