BBA2: Untouchable Lerato Interview

Written by Segololo from the blog Biggie Motherland on 15 Oct 2007
Favourite this post


I had initially prepared some questions with the knowledge that I might meet Lerato or/Maybe Meryl and Max. Someone had already traumatized me on how MNET peeps are very protective of the housemates and I may never even get 30 meters from Lerato… Ha ha ha, in your face.

Anyways, we drove to Lerato’s house for the interviews… Beautiful big place! Lerato welcomed me into her house and sat me comfortably on the couch. The scene was very serene and homey; Biggie was on and the sms strip was abuzz with “Thank you biggie for bringing the untouchables”, “It was great to see the untouchables again” , etc… Meryl was ecstatic and happy… Max was quite… He is a very quite person, peaceful and you really get comfortable in his silence. He seems slightly opposite of Lerato who seems a bit shy and reserved but a little more talkative than Max. He reminded me of King K; hilarious when it’s just the two of us but when around people he is not used to; quite, shy and reserved.

My questions were things that I really needed to know – and simple. I did not want to ask really hardcore journalist questions; so had 10 questions, since I had spent a lot of time with them and had shared some off the record chats.

My list of Q’s

1. With you out of the house now and I assume you have re-thought your time in the Biggie house - What would you change about the first day you saw the housemates?

2. Who do you feel deserved to win or would have won if Biggie had survivor rules; the person with the most votes leaves the house?

3. What did you miss while in the house?

4. What couldn’t you live without outside the house before you went in?

5. What can’t you live without now?

6. What was the first thing you wanted to do after you hugged your mum?

7. Have you watched yourself while in the house?

8. Except Spatula, What do you thinks of those still left in the house?

9. The biggie web writers have speculated on wedding bells… Are they ringing?

10. What would you say to someone who wanted to go into the big brother house when the next season comes along?

I am personally not really good at Q&A type interview writing so bear with me…

Lerato…

Lerato was considered a bully, too controlling and almost domineering in the house – a view that I do not agree with as I posted on my previous articles. I wanted to know the person beyond the Biggie house – the real Lerato – when I did my interview. I did not want my warped idea of who Lerato is to be all I know about her, what I viewed when she was in there needed to be erased from my mind. She did not disappoint; she answered all my questions with enthusiasm – even though I sometimes had to compete with the Big Brother show for attention. Lerato wanted to have fun in the Big Brother house; she wanted to just experience the show. When she walked into the house and was in the company of complete strangers – she says she would not change anything about that moment. She would have walked in without a strategy and did exactly what she has done. She would not change alliances either.

Lerato has been to the penthouse so many times that she was also the only housemate to have a special visit. The guest was Jabba, HHP (Hip Hop Pantsula) as we know and love him. Vote for him on the MTV awards peeps! Vote here. She was thoroughly pissed when RiTa got sushi on their visit to the penthouse. So, after she hugged her mom at her eviction show – she wanted good food! A sushi platter to be exact! That statement made me wonder if Lerato will ever eat Lentils and beans again – that is what the housemates consume most of the time… at least, when I am watching, that is what is cooking! No Nandos!? I would just not survive!

I have openly requested or demanded that Big Brother have the same rules as Survivor – the person with the most nominations leaves the house. That’s it! Torch light out or rather, in this case; bags into the diary room, bed out and you are gone! NO public voting! Scarf (Maureen) would have been long gone! BUT who would have been the first to go – Lerato reckons Ofunneka would have won (may still win) Justice would have been the first to leave. I think so too. Leratos’ view of the people left in the house is Boring, Boring, boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, Unentertaining, Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, Unentertaining… you get the drift! But like us, she is still glued – I guess, we are just curious on who will bag the money for not being entertaining.

When you are in the big brother house you have no luxuries – well, what we would deem necessities like the web and cellphone – I am not a watch fan! So, I don’t own one, don’t need one, would not miss it and I am never on time! I try to make an effort but I can’t keep time. I also can’t get why people are always so angry when I am late - I don’t get it! Anyways, this is about Lerato’s interview, so I wanted to know what she could not live without before she went into the house, whet she really missed when she was in the house and now what she knows fo sho she can’t live without after the big brother experience. She says she could not live without her Cellphone; she missed sunglasses, ipod, car, food of her choice and her brand lip gloss; she can’t live without her cellphone and ipod now.

I was also keen to know about the biggie web writers speculation on “wedding bells” when Max and her were recently spotted at a jewellery shop in Rosebank – she maintains they were getting studs for Max. That’s it! No bells – unless the biggie web writers were in church or something. Max and her were getting studs (emphasis).

I am curious about the people that fill in an application form for reality shows – What triggers the interest? What makes them think/believe that they would be the kinda person people would like to watch in a reality show? What makes them hope to win the money? Is the real reason the money? Or is there another kind of drive, 15 minutes of fame, which makes them want to be a part of such? I asked Lerato what she would say to such people since she has experienced Reality TV; she simply says “You do not know what to expect until you are there!” Clearly, if you think you can do this – Go for it! But keep your expectation list empty…

I have openly requested or demanded that Big Brother have the same rules as Survivor – the person with the most nominations leaves the house.

ToxicToxy... I want Big Brother to have the same rules as Survivor. The HM's nominate and whoever has the most nominations is out! They leave the house; same day. That was my opinion.

Toxic

Segololo
15 Oct 2007 07:34

Lady D... I am not good at Q&A kinda write ups so I wrote the answers in the article... Let me do it like this (Answers below) for you benefit... But I feel it takes a lot OUT of my writing..

1. Nothing
2. Ofunneka
3. Sunglasses, ipod, car, food of my choice and my brand lip gloss 
4. Cellphone
5. Cellphone and Ipod
6. Eat a sushi platter
7. yes - I hate that I looked fat
8. Boring X 8, Unentertaining, Boring X8
9. we were getting studs for max
10. You do not know what to expect until you are in there.

Toxy - She lives in a house, not complex. In a very upmarket suburb around the sandton/Rosebank area. I did not ask about the housekeeper- the place was very neat. I did not see any pets. I declined a drink because I was really missing my son - and it was already late to have drinks on a sunday!

Hi hi hi hi hi Tox!

Seog, did you perhaps get to find out if  Max is living at Lerato's house while he's here? Are they now officially dating? Is he planning on getting SA citizenship? What's the story there???

Cool interview.

- Re: Being on time.

If you tell someone you'll meet them at 1pm, and arrive at 1:30 pm... Its a sign of disrespect.

If they were able to be on time, and had to wait for you, you are implying that your time is more valuable than theirs, and that they had nothing better to do than wait for you..... Which, would explain why they're normally not too pleased.

Toxic
15 Oct 2007 07:48

jayps, it happens!

Dimago
15 Oct 2007 07:55

I agree with you Jayps...

A racy read as ever, Segololo!! Keep it flowing ...

Segololo
15 Oct 2007 09:11

Jayps.... Ok, I get it. I'll try. I already make an effort but time is NEVER on my side!!

@ work, they had to intro "flexi-hours" because I was just never on time - so I work flexi-hours 9 to 6 or 9 to 9. It works for both of us.

Segololo
15 Oct 2007 09:23

Toxy... <<hahahahhaaha, so you didn't even have water!!!!!! Hayi Sego, u're a rude guest!>> she offered a couple of times! Damn! She was probably thinking the same lines as you - Then Meryl said "She has a kiddie waiting... Just finish the interview." But I really was not thirsty and I wanted to go home.

Dimago... <<Seog, did you perhaps get to find out if Max is living at Lerato's house while he's here? Are they now officially dating? Is he planning on getting SA citizenship? What's the story there???>> Who is Seog? No, he is not. I think, I did not want to pry. I know Meryl stays there because I asked her. I really did not ask anything along those lines to Max or Lerato - It WOULD have started a STALKER ALERT on their minds, i thought! I still wanted to call them once in a while and chat...

Meme J...<<A racy read as ever, Segololo!! Keep it flowing ...>> I am struggling to find words to write the interview I had with Mery and Berthal! We spoke a lot about too many things... They are more talkative than Max and Lerato so they gave details to their answers without encouragement. I like Bertha. She opened up to me... genuinely! Even KB asked how I got that right when he caught a snippet of my interview. ;-)

Toxic
15 Oct 2007 09:37

where did he catch this snippet of your interview.....my fav gal is Meryl!!!!

Muky
15 Oct 2007 09:43

Segololo, We want to know the juice between Meryl and Bertha. Please hurry up and post the interview. I would like to also know whether Lerato has had a any job offers in any field - acting, television, etc?

Lady D
15 Oct 2007 10:29

Toxic, I feel you on the Meryl thingy man...I kinda dig her now all of a sudden, I have no idea why. 

Segololo, I'm patiently waiting to hear what all the juice between Meryl & Anaconda is....

Dimago

16 Oct 2007 03:43

No lesson learnt on this girl..same arrogant nutcase...Good riddance!!! If Survivor tacts were in play here..Nasty LERATO would have been evicted before the Spatula!!! no debate on that one...actually BERTHA would have been the first evictee ..not Justo... stay with Maxwell..you two deserve each other!!!

jenny
16 Oct 2007 09:26

Why are you so rude...Grow up and travel round the world then you wouldn't be like that Muganzi. What did she and Max do so wrong. I think alot of these viewers in Africa need to be more accommodating and tolerant. Been arrogant is not so bad sometimes, at least they has achieve something in their lives.Everybody background is different. The only time we can be the similar is if we are born-again christians.

So please stop been so abusive...it is just a reality show.

Please Segololo tell Max and Lerato my mum and I love them(especially my Mum)...I wish them all the best.

Muganzi
17 Oct 2007 02:39

Actually Jenny, you and LERATO should travel the continent more and may be you and her will be more accomodating and tolerant!!!

nokubonga
17 Oct 2007 02:45

Its  so weird how lerato call people names...did she perhaps took a closer look at herself...those gums and that tummy...oh gosh!!!!!!!

jenny
17 Oct 2007 07:09

Nokubonga
Because she is doing that , I see no reason why you should call her names. This is what we mean by maturity. 
I repeat this was just a reality show. Do not get too worked up on it. 
Everyone should just have fun.

nokubonga
17 Oct 2007 08:12

Have fun...calling people names all in the name of fun......oh please now!!!!!!

Muky
17 Oct 2007 09:05

Nokubonga you re calling what Richiard is doing 'fun'. Why does it poke you when others find Lerato calling others name 'fun'. Who needs to be tolerant?

Segololo
17 Oct 2007 09:20

Okay! Okay! Okay! Lerato knows you did not like her. So please deal with it in your own way, she is out of the house now, she has moved on with her life and is travelling a lot with the other guys... she has let it go, So let it go too!

You guys are bickering about what she did and did not do in a house she left almost a month ago does not give you the US$100 000... So, please, peeps! please! 

Peace! Motherland, Peace!! Can't we all just get along? Puhlease!

Meme J
17 Oct 2007 09:47

Hey Sego, I think you're going to need to call in a UN Peacekeeping Force! And, hey peeps, one person's real is another person's fake! Depends on which side of the dividing line you look at. Just as what some people perceive is arrogance others see as confidence! But I have a feeling that some of us are not going to let our favourite bones go!!! Peeps, there's just so much meat on a bone!!! Tx for the calming words Sego ... just hope it doesn't have the opposite effect :)

Segololo
17 Oct 2007 09:50

Meme J <<Hey Sego, I think you're going to need to call in a UN Peacekeeping Force!>> They are here waiting for the addresses of these peeps.. It's just a game!
