I'm willing to confront it, because it takes two to tango, and I have responsibilities I have to uphold now I�m out of the house. Turkan felt you weren't a good role model for girls due to your relationship with Marty. How do you feel about this? I could condemn her for some of her behaviour and actions as well, but I'm not going to. I just went with a feeling. Sorry that Turkan doesn't like it. Who in the house did you get along with the best other than Marty? Nathan. He was just a boisterous personality as well. He was very humorous - same as Shannon. I think both of those exuded so much charisma, and they were just such a laugh. Do you think Peter pulled out the sympathy sob stories too much when he is up for eviction? Actually, yes. He does. I've only been made aware of it since coming out, cos I've always been compassionate to Peter. But when you think about it, he drilled on it the whole time. That's a bit much. It has become evident in recent times that he does do that. 19 June 2002 Did They or Didn't They?
