Kat Talks Back

BB: Where/ What have you been up to since you left the house?
K: I have been everywhere!  Since coming out I have spent time in Qld, ACT, SA and Victoria.  I have done everything from breakfast radio to Nightclub appearances. The biggest challenge for me has been to try and juggle my normal 9-5 job and appearances.  I have discovered that sleep is a luxury and food is a must if you expect to stay on top of things.  A huge highlight for me was the weekend I was in Sydney for the Kids Helpline Radioathon.  Not only did I get some great shopping done, I also got to spend two days in the call centre helping out with the volunteers. 

Another thing that has kept me busy is the forums on this website.  I have been chatting with the people on the forum (yes, 'miani69' is actually me!) and it has been loads of fun.  I love being able to answer people�s questions directly and the support I have received has been fantastic.

BB: Any low moments?
K: Well, there have been some.  Probably the lowest was after reading the web forums about a week after I left the house.  But even in my darkest moments when I thought \"is it still worth it?\" the answer is still a resounding yes!  I think that the darker moments just make the good times feel even better.

BB: What did you personally get out of the BB experience?
K: I think that BB helped my self-confidence.  I know a lot of people have called me arrogant and stuck-up but I actually often feel intimidated more than anything else.  Being in such a challenging environment made me see that if I put my mind to it I can achieve the things that I dream of if I just put in the effort. I also have gained some friendships that are very important to me and I don't know what I would do without them.

Psych Debrief by Carmel Hill

Australians tend to like people who reveal their vulnerabilities. Not perfect people. We also tend to cut down people who are confident and generally perfect. Apart from Katrina. It seems Australians won�t forgive her for the photos. She isn�t given the same sympathy treatment as the others. A very sad reflection of society.

Big Brother Generation
And now for the predictions: The housemate most likely to snag a tissue endorsement:
Melbourne legal secretary Katrina, who used more than her fair share during her three weeks in the house.

Behind Big Brother

But others aren't so lucky. Melbourne legal secretary Katrina Miani has gone back to work. Her aim for fame was destroyed after pornographic photos taken when she was younger came to light after she'd won a place in the house.

Evictees Reunited
Katrina said she�d been looking forward to the shoot for ages. �I was itching to see everyone again and find out what they�re doing. It just reinforced that some of these people are truly my new friends for life.�

It was the first time she�d met intruders Brodie and Nicole, whose story she�d been following on the show since her departure. �I feel like they�re good friends too, because we�re all part of this crazy experience. In fact, I�m in a taxi with Brodie right now to go see his band play tonight!�

28 April 2002 (Day 21)
Peter and Katrina are yet to speak to each other. Interestingly, after her doona dance with Peter last night, Kat went and slept on the couch, claiming the bedroom was too hot.

Nathan reported the bedroom shenanigans to the other HMs. Turkan responded by slamming the door and getting into bed with Mirabai.

After Turkan told Peter �You can�t have me,� he took his affections elsewhere. He and Katrina slipped off to bed together. They cuddled and then caressed, under the blankets. The doona was moving and they didn�t seem phased by the cameras.

25 April 2002 (Day 18)
Kat doesn't think she'll ever get married.

24 April 2002 (Day 17)
Kat reveals she has a kiss list and a who she's slept with list so she doesn't forget anyone. Officially, there are 35 people on her kiss list and the oldest person she has slept with was 23 years older than her.

24 April 2002 (Day 17)
The crazy stories are still flowing and now it's Kat's turn to share. She recounts a time where she was involved in a round-robin all girl kissing competition. The story goes that each girl had to snog and then decide who was the best kisser. The worst kissers were eliminated until one final pash queen remained. When Nathan and Jess enquired who was the overall winner, Kat replied "I was, of course".

22 April 2002
Katrina was concerned about her looks before entering the house. So, she spent weeks as her local gym trying to lose "her beer gut," with favourable results.
