The word on the street

Ushma Mistry went in to High Wycombe town centre to find out what people really thought about the curvy Zimbabwean.

Teju Ayoola, 16, of Princes Risborough, thinks her tactics are good but she may not be doing herself any favours. She says: "I think she might win but she is too sly but she is good role model for black people as she is clever and speaks her mind.

"I am proud that she is from Wycombe and I want her to win."

Linda Cashman, 39, has been watching the show since day one. She says: "I love Big Brother and I think Makosi is brilliant. She speaks her mind and takes on all the other Housemates. I thought she handled herself brilliantly the other day when Saskia and Maxwell started on her. We want her to win because she came to Luton University."

Sarah Davis, 37, of Luton, thinks Makosi deserves to win. She says: "I think she's great. She gives as good as she gets, even when the rest of the Housemates started on her about the cider. I want her to win."

Courtney Styles, 16, of High Wycombe, absolutely loves Makosi and thinks she should win.

She says: "I think Makosi is great. She says what she feels and I like the way she tells people to their face what she thinks of them. I don't think she will win though. I think Kemal will win.

"I like the way Makosi dresses. She has her own style. I think people like her because she cares about people."

Courtney Davis, 18, of Luton, says: "I think she can win it. People like her. I don't think she is attractive but I like her personality. Her tactics are brilliant."

And Lisa Largui, 16, from High Wycombe, is not a fan of the nurse and thinks she is giving the town a bad name. She says: "She is really conniving and she lies too much so you can never take her seriously.

"Makosi is a wannabe. I think she is giving Wycombe a bad name and she is showing up the people of Wycombe by doing what she is doing. She has got no respect for herself."
