(Merlin, on becoming a 'Big Brother' housemate) "To be honest I don't
particularly like watching television yet alone reality television, and
yet I have this rather odd urge, or even burning want, to be a part of
this show, which I myself don't even quite understand. It'd be one of
those surreal things I'd look back on when I'm 80 and say 'Hell yeah
kid! You did some crazy crazy s**t', and then watch the videos for the
56th time, dragging the poor grandkids through it all again. Oh, and
let's be honest here, I want the cash! Big Time. None of that "money's
not important to me, man I'm so above that blah blah"... A cool hundred
grand would change my life!"
