You get crushes on people. You have to see them every day in that week. They're a fantastic person, and it could be a man or a woman.

And this reality TV thing. That's the biggest change; that you don't have to do anything to become famous on TV.

It seems you can take a picture on your Vodafone and it can be on the front page of a celebrity magazine the next day. It's a kind of madness.
