lots of work to be done
Where did it all go wrong?
Where did it all go wrong for Makosi? I went away in mid-July, and at that time Makosi seemed to be riding high, having done much of the work of making the show sparkle, with all the secret missions, etc. BB looked like Makosi's own show almost, and there was talk of her being the winner. She'd taken a significant amount of abuse from Saskia and Maxwell (remember the "people like you've got a chip on their shoulder" bit?), and yet been magnanimous towards them (being the first to congratulate Maxwell after the room 101 task, for example). With Maxwell and Saskia out of the house, the field should have been wide open for the divas.
Then I come back two weeks later, and what have we ended up with? Makosi greeted by a baying mob, who never let up the booing, heckling and barracking - apparently unprecedented in all the time BB has been going. Then I watched the reunion party, and saw Makosi and Vanessa sat by themselves - not even Kemal with them. What went wrong in the two weeks I was away?
It would have been great to see one of the divas win - esp Makosi, or so I thought in the early part of the series. I have to admit that I could not understand why Makosi reassured Anthony that "nothing had happened" the morning after the pool shenanigans, but was then saying in the Diary Room that she thought she was pregnant, and now insisting on implying that something may have happened. I was disappointed that eventually it was one of "Team Saskia" who won. So what did I miss?
One last point: could it be that Makosi failed to understand how BB is played? ie: she did seem to end up obviously "acting" a lot. I wonder if cultural differences may partly account for the way in which she eventually messed up big time. Maybe that plus the effect of being cooped up for so long.
I still think she didn't deserve the reception she got. Endemol should have put a stop to it. Davina could have behaved better too. I think Dermot would have told them to shut up.

She's spent more time in Zimbabwe than England I think and didn't realise how much arrogance is hated by your average english person, better to think you're shit than dare to think big of yourself.
