Victor, Nick, Vanessa and Preston have discussed former housemate Nadia this evening - commenting that she should have been more wary about her time in the house.

The conversation started when Vanessa asked what happens after an eviction. Nick, who wasn't evicted in his series, was also interested in hearing how housemates are presented with all the newspaper coverage about them upon leaving.

"Mine [would have been] a Missourian Bible with volumes," he said. "I was on every front page apart from the FT [Financial Times] where it was page four."

"I had to go on four shows to show I was fine," Vanessa laughed.

The group joked that while all of them had received bad coverage during their time in the house, they still relished the opportunity do go back in again - despite the risks.

"We had no idea that Nadia wouldn’t be loved," Preston said.

"Brian said when Nadia was announced to come into the house the roar was deafening, so to have that flip is, 'What in the blue hell is going on?'" added Victor.

After Vanessa probed them on whether they could work out why there was change of public opinion, Preston suggested that none of the housemates had experienced all of her outbursts in the house and did not know what was shown.

"I would have thought Nadia would have come in more streetwise, boxed a bit more clever - pick your battles," Victor added. "On Friday I was surprised and I wasn’t surprised."

He then recounted how he had warned Nadia that she might be at risk of eviction, and that the Portuguese seemed hurt by the thought.

"Turns out maybe I was right," he finished.
