I love Makosi nomatter what she presented my country and thats a wounderfull thing that has made me proud to be a Zimbabwean. She is everything that people would want to be even if they hurt her but part of them wish to be her. Whats so special about backstabing yet everyone was doing it , get real and use your brains she is the best ever in history of big brother. I love you Makosi and wish you the best and your a a role model . Its only jeolous people that dont like her but people with brain love her. Im proud to be presented by Makosi.

I feel that Davina's treatment of Makosi on the final night of Big Brother was downright disrespectful. As a presenter (an extremely high paid one at that) she has a responsibility to Big Brother fans to be neutral and fair to ALL evictees.

When Saskia and Maxwell (Saskia in particular) were overtly divisive (which made very uncomfortable viewing), Davina hardly broached the subject and their interviews were extremely light hearted. Craig's behaviour towards Anthony was skimmed over and she focussed on he and Anthony's relationship in a very light hearted manner.

However, when Science, Vanessa and of course Makosi were all interviewed, she was quite hardline and relentless with her questioning. Science for his sometimes argumentative tendencies, Vanessa with her b******* and Makosi for the Jacuzzi incident amongst other things. Makosi was by far the most talked about housemate (not always for the right reasons admittedly) but she was very entertaining and brought a lot of drama and excitement to the house. She was extremely clever and did well with her many secret missions, everything you would want in a housemate. Davina chose to ignore the positive contributions that Makosi made to the house particularly in the first two weeks and instead chose to focus on the negative.

I am extremely disappointed with BB producers for the following reasons:-

not reprimanding Maxwell for the 'scab gate' incident with Science.

not speaking out or addressing the blatantly racist language used in the house by particular housemates

When Big Brother claims to see EVERYTHING, isn't it funny how BB conveniently missed or chose to ignore these things.

Prior to BB6, I have always liked and thoroughly enjoyed watching Davina McCall on the television, but I was and still am disgusted by the way she conducted the interview with Makosi, Saskia, Maxwell and Craig and will not be watching Big Brother again if she were to remain the main presenter. Give Dermot O' Leary the crown I say, he deserves it.

Yes, Makosi did not always conduct herself in the most favourable light, but I feel that she was scapegoated unfairly and was like a lamb to the slaughter on the night of the final. Having said this, she took it on the chin like only someone with her strong personality could....good on you Makosi, you were robbed, you were the real winner of BB6.

I guess the majority of the British public can't quite yet stomach the idea of having a beautiful, intelligent, strong, black woman as a Big Brother winner, shame really.
