Federico
Cool Camp Man...

A Look Back At Fed...
Day 29, 22:50

Federico has become the fourth housemate, and the first boy, to be evicted from the Big Brother House.

On Day 1, in dashing get-up, model boy looks and wry sense of humour in place, Fed made an instant impression on his new housemates. But this didn't stop Steph nominating him for eviction on the very first night.

After an eventful first week, where we were treated to a selection of colourful outfits from Fed's wardrobe, (who can forget the lemon jacket and matching trainers?), the pretty Latin lad managed to survive the chop, but had to wave goodbye to his flirting partner Anouska.

And some believe she took a little bit of Fed with her when she went...

A slightly more melancholy side to the Glaswegian began to emerge as time went on - did this have something to do with the 'Task' word?

Think of Fed and unfortunately you can't help but think of his failing the House tasks.

The Scot failed the pedalo challenge, by getting out for some chewing gum. The House rallied round, however, and insisted there were no ill feelings towards their chum.

But when he went on to flunk the Scout task by reciting the Cub Scout Promise instead of the Law, he chose to keep quiet.

Several of the housemates spotted his erratic behaviour, but still he decided not to 'fess up.

And by Week 3 he was up for eviction again - this time he had four votes, from Nush, Sissy, Gos and Cameron. He reacted by shaking everyone's hands but looked slightly stunned and wide-eyed.

As the days went by, the former model began to reveal a more controversial side. He took to sleeping in 'til late in the day and in the most bizarre positions.

...bad boy...
He also confessed to having a secret friend who talked to him at night - a chimp called Charlie. "He comes to me at night and tells me gossip about the housemates. I try and ignore him... he sneaks up on me and keeps talking and talking. He's a muckraker," he told his roommates.

Demonstrating his trademark tongue-in-cheek humour, Fed told Tania: "I wouldn't watch the show if I wasn't on it."

The 'macho' man also caused a heated debate with his 'views' about women and Northern girls in particular.

"I'm looking forward to being chased by hordes of women's rights activists..," he quipped.

The Glaswegian quickly allied himself with the likely lads, Scott and Ray, after a splash around in the pool on the first evening in the House. They will, perhaps, be the housemates he'll miss the most.

But by the end of Week 4 Federico seemed to be alienating himself -especially from the girls.

The Glaswegian appeared to relish winding up his housemates with his controversial views on women and Shitzu dogs!

Strangely enough, he never earned a nomination from Ray - or Scott - the other member of the group that earned themselves the name "the three amigos."

In his final week, Fed told Big Brother he didn't feel he could be himself. He also remarked he thought others didn't seem to trust him.

By the end of the superhero task, on Day 27, Fed was very much the house loner. He refused to join the gang in their Diary Room jubilation, claiming, "There's already plenty of people in there."

So here's to Federico, who bought flirting, yellow shoes, controversy and Charlie the Chimp. We'll miss him..!
