Dillish, the Namibian winner of the just concluded Big Brother show tells ’NONYE BEN-NWANKWO about her experience
How do you feel winning the Big Brother show?
I feel great. Winning the money is a
great opportunity. It is a lifetime experience in the house. The money
is going to change my life. I am so grateful to Africa and to God. It is
a perfect feeling.
Did you ever think you would become the winner?
I didn’t think I would become the
winner. As you know, they said I was the underdog in the house. I
didn’t see myself as the winner, but things changed for me, especially
the week I was up for eviction alongside Angelo and Bimp. Africa saved
me that week and that was when I realised I might have an impact out
there.
You were one of the few housemates that didn’t get into any relationship. Why?
I made up my mind I wasn’t going into
any relationship. It was the initial plan. Even before I got in, I made
it very clear in the introductory video that I have somebody out there
who is very special in my life and I wasn’t looking for love. When I
walked into the house the first day, I told them I wasn’t interested in
any relationship and they shouldn’t try me. I was already in a
relationship of four years and I wasn’t going to give it up for anybody
in the house.
Now that you have so much money, won’t it affect your relationship?
It will certainly not affect the
relationship. My boyfriend is quite successful. The money is basically
for me and my family and my future. It shouldn’t affect my relationship
at all.
Who was your greatest rival in the house?
All the housemates were my competitors.
They were all strong rivals. At the beginning, Bolt got on my nerves,
but somehow, we made peace. I got along with everybody. It was easy
connecting with them.
Why did you decide to be part of the BBA?
I have always been a fan of the show. I
wanted to be a part of it last year, but something stopped me. This
year, a friend got the form and filled it for me. I went for the
audition and Big Brother chose me. I think it was my time and my destiny
this year. I am so happy that I experienced it and won.
What do you hope to achieve in future?
I am ready for anything. I am thinking
of getting into radio or TV or anything that has to do with
entertainment. I am just taking it step by step. I am ready to start-up
my career in entertainment.
Was there a time you felt like leaving the house?
Oh yes. The first time I got nominated
was my lowest moment in the house. I got nominated the second week and I
thought I should go and ring the bell and tell Big Brother I wanted to
go home. But something spoke to me and I decided to stay back.
How easy was it to survive in the house?
It wasn’t easy at all. In the outside
world, we are so used to our mobile phones, to the extent that we even
sleep with them. I missed my freedom and being able to watch TV. But in
all, it was a good experience.
