Speaking about her time in the Big Brother house, and how she was advised beforehand to pay for her fellow housemates' downfall, Alex said:

ALEX UNUSUAL: I didn’t even realise how much of a one man Mopol I was. I felt that people probably had my back and I just wasn’t seeing it, and for all the times that my instincts told me that I was one man in this house, standing alone, I tried to downplay them. I actually downplayed my instincts a lot in the house. It was not intentional. I went into the house hoping that all of us would live in peace and love. I had no idea that the moment I walked in, I would be seen as a competition, and the fall of Alex started to become a plan. But I am not upset about it. I just have a very strong personality. And, I know that regardless of who you are, I do not need alliances to do well. I didn’t need it outside here the first time. I don’t need it now, and I still will not need it. Even if I was going to have alliances, I didn’t even go into the house with any strategy. I just went in to be myself. Being Alex, it’s only Alex. I couldn’t be more than one person. I didn’t have any need to force an alliance. If any alliance had even happened, it would’ve been very natural. But I was a one man army and it was fine, both inside and outside the house.

I have my mistakes. I should have trusted my instincts more. The thing is, before I went into the house, there were lots of advice about paying the media to talk positively about you, and negatively about other people. I was supposed to put down money for media narratives. But I’m not that kind of person. First of all, I don’t believe in paying for anyone’s downfall. If I had even decided to pay for anything before I left, because they say once you get on stage, you need to pay influencers and media houses, to be positive about you, even if they don’t like you. I didn’t see the need for all of that. I thought this was All Stars? Everybody just coming with their star power? There was no need to bring any other person down.

What do you think about what Alex said, and people doing all of these paying and scheming to win the prize money? Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment either below or on my Jide Okonjo Facebook post.
