[edit] Citations

“ Pete was the centre of many of the show's funniest moments, such as falling into the pool whilst desperately trying to avert it. During a task where the housemates wrote their future autobiographies, Pete stated that after leaving the house "I sat on my arse doing nothing. I filled my face with spam and shaved my right testicle whilst making love to a wellington boot. I changed my name to Deidre and wore a prosthetic head. I lived in my own intestines, where I became lord ruler of the turds. Then I was sectioned."

Pete was the bookmaker's favourite since week one to win the series. On August 18, 2006, Pete won Big Brother 7 with 61.2% of the final vote (between him and Glyn).”

That requires a citation. Even, of course, the date at which is aired, is good enough. Also, the statistic requires one too; it's good enough if it was on the eviction night. Iolakana•T 13:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorted.

Found a mention of the teddy bear from Robert Smith of The Cure. It is in an article from The Sun here

[edit] After Big Brother

John McCririck called Pete 'a hero' for "costing the bookmakers hundreds of thousands of pounds"., even though his odds of winning were the shortest throughout the series and the bookmakers would have lost a lot more money if a different housemate had won.

Removed the highlighted section as Pete was an obvious favourite from early in the show meaning very little money was bet on the other contestants hence his winning cost the bokkmakers more that if any other contestant had won. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.80.32.9 (talk • contribs)

[edit] The thing you've all been wanting to see....

Sorry, I couldn't keep it to myself any longer! -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 :| I didn't want to see that... Ever... That's another three years on the couch... J Ditalk 15:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hehe well I didn't particularly want to see it either, but there you go. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed the link, I don't think it should even be there. J Ditalk 13:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

If this link is put back up I will report it and try have your IP/User Blacklisted... This is a Wikipedia Article... not a directory to pictures of nudity or what oneself may define as pornography.--82.47.145.146 10:25, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Wait, naked pics of Pete exist? Must go hunting! Squidward2602 14:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I can't believe I posted that here, of all places. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 23:09, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I went back on the history but the link doesn't work anymore. Damnit! Squidward2602 16:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This dang sentence that keeps getting reverted

Can we please leave it like this:

This was first shown on Day 89 in a conversation with Richard and then again on Day 90 in a conversation with Aisleyne but in both conversations they said that he had told them this before.

The version it keeps getting reverted back to needs to be sourced; it says that Pete's premonition wasn't discussed before Day 89, but the other housemates said it was. If it hadn't been discussed before, how would we know this? Had other discussions taken place, we wouldn't know as any discussions that did take place before Day 89 weren't aired. Is there a source to say that it wasn't discussed before Day 89? Were Richard and Aisleyne lying when they said it had already been discussed? J Ditalk 20:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Agree with J Di; also to the users who reverted please be civil when making any edits. --Alex (talk here) 20:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Since he left

Has this person actually done anything other than Big Brother? There seem to be a few "alleged" book deals and record deals that haven't surfaced oh and a few magazine articles about him and the screeching howler monkey formally known as Nikki Grahame. This page is fancruft! 85.210.156.127 00:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Some of them probably shouldn't. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
