What now for Shilpa Shetty? Tony gives his thoughts
Did Shilpa win the show because of the sympathy vote?
Many would argue to that fact, but I disagree. A sympathy vote only goes to a certain point, it alone is not enough for you to win a national television show. Shilpa won because she was the most apt and able winner of the show. She was a real true celebrity. She had charm and beauty. She is mild mannered and very sweet. And she went through her tenure in the house without uttering a word against any other fellow housemate. Even during the whole debacle with Jade Goody, she remained polite and self conscious, something the British love and therefore the huge winning margin; an incredible 63%.

Congratulations to Shilpa. she deserved to win, not because ofthe trouble,but because of what she had to offer and gave …… such a beautiful lady…. June Roche, Dublin , Ireland
NO DOUBT SHILPA WON BUT IT WAS ALL ABOUT POLITICS. IS TONY WATCHING THE SAME SHOW THAT THE WHOLE OF UK WAS! CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG BUT SADLY EVERYTIME SHILPA’S NAME WAS MENTIONED IN THE FINAL THEIR WERE MORE BOOS THAN CHEERS. THIS MUST BE A FIRST WHERE A WINNER GOT BOOED MORE THAN CHEERED! SHILPA WINNING WAS NOT A SUPRISE TO THE PUBLIC, IF SHE DIDNT WIN THEN UK WOULD HAVE BEEN BRANDED A RACIST COUNTRY. IT WAS SYMPATHY VOTES, IF IT WASNT FOR THE RACE ROW SADLY NOBODY WOULD HAVE NOTICED HER.
Shilpa has certainly managed to “act” superbly in BB to win the admiration of the British public. I don’t think there were many sympathy votes as such to contribute to her success.If you remember she repeatedly said to her housemates that “it was a game.” And what a super player she was to win the game. Let us see if Aishwarya or Sharukh can get in to the next BB (UK version) and win it? I think she should leave the filmworld and enter politics!!
Tony, my friend: Thank you, thank you for the best article I have seen about Shilpa/Big Brother. She really is a wonderful actress, so endearing, so eloquent. Unfettered from the nonsensical Bollywood genre, given good scripts and direction, who knows how high she will fly? God, please let her come West. Las Vegas, Hollywood, Broadway: just bring her over! Thanks again.
