Rachel Rice - Winner of big brother 9
Friday, September 5th, 2008
Rachel is the winner of big brother 9,although she had been leading all the internet polls,the fact that Mikey was nowhere in these polls,but favourite with the bookies suggested that the casual viewer would probably plump for the sympathy vote and vote Miikey. As it turned out it was the closest final yet with Rachel getting 51% of the final vote.
It was a victory for honesty,kindness,decency,and altruism,traits which are derided in our society,not only derided but looked upon with suspicion when someone like Rachel exhibits these traits,but well done Rachel for not bowing to peer pressure and remaining true to yourself throughout 13 weeks of intense pressure from your fellow house mates and the occasional spanner from big brother.
It was a shame such a great night for Rachel was spoilt by Davina,who clearly wasn’t happy at Rachel being acclaimed the winner,never have i seen such coldness and malice towards a house mate since her interview with Makosi.
During her interview Davina told us that Rachel who had sat on the fence in the house (Not true but i will move on for now),would then go in the diary room and bitch her fellow house mates,on the main show she used the word “opinion” but on big brother big mouth she said “bitch” .
Did she offer up any examples? No,thats because there are no examples,but Davina thinks if she keeps repeating it enough times people will believe it. Rachel answered her, rather shocked at the suggestion saying that if for example she was asked in the house who would be evicted,she wouldn’t answer as she would be affraid of hurting someones feelings,but answering big brother in the diary room didn’t matter.
Does Davina watch the show or has she too been influenced by the spin and lies, Luke put on Rachel in the house?
Things went from bad to worse on big mouth when Davina put Rachel on the spot saying that Rex and Darnell had a conversation saying whoever wins should split the money four ways,implying that Rachel should split it four ways,there was a very awkward silence as Rachel looked confused and almost obligated,Davina dithered trying to change the subject,knowing that if Rachel agreed it would look like she had bullied her into the decision. Rex and the other house mates saved Davina as they were motioning to her, not to agree to it,Rachel eventually agreed to give 10.000 to charity.
It was an awkward couple of minutes where Davina played on Rachel’s sense of fair play,and doing the right thing,Darnell eventually was given the mic and he said that she should spend it however she wants.
Davina has been a poor presenter of big brother all series,even tonight she was only really interested in the Darnell/Sara will they won’t they,perhaps she should go back to Gods Gift or Streetmate.
Hopefully she won’t be presenting big brother next year,Chavina as shes known, certainly showed her true colours tonight,and it wasn’t a pretty sight.
So again,well done Rachel,you won in spite of “most” of your fellow house mates,in spite of Davina,in spite of channel 4,continually promoting you as boring,or non opinionated,ultimately you won because the British public saw what Channel 4 and Davina didn’t see and thats YOU.
