Thank you erinp   

Kind of you - and I agree.

I thought Mario had the best highlights/best bits of all the finalists. Ah well, I very rarely end up supporting the outright winner.

I thought they would re-open the voting lines, but they didn't tonight......is that because it wasn't anything close to being live? Hmm.


Regardless, well done Mario

Nite nite Brisket and Mario's It's been fun, even if the actual show hasn't

Thank you very much Katerina and Baz

I must thank everyone for their support and input in this thread.
Everyone has been warm and friendly and have been fully behind Mario in his quest.
The later influx of fans was welcomed.  I loved how people would pop in to leave some words of encouragement.

Thank you Baz and Yogi for keeping a close eye on things and making sure the thread has been visible.
Also thanks for your words of wisdom of course.

And massive thanks to Mario obviously, for being such a housemate that we felt deserved to do well.   Sure enough; he did do well. 
Big thanks to all you lovely Mario fans.    
It's been a pleasure. We didn't let Mario down.
And Mario did not let us down.

At least we got him to third place,pity he wasn't second over the evil Monk.Good luck to mario.

Amen to that katty 

And to wind up - a few pictures.










A final touch of fun flamboyance:----

Aww Brisket those pics are lovely. You were Mario's number one fan and loyal right through to the end. I applaud you for that. I hope he goes on to have a happy life and I only wish he had taken the title.

aww thank you Fairfax     Many thanks for your support too.
I'll join you in your hopes and wishes.

Evening Brisket & Mario's and I'll join in those wishes too Fairfax

Aw - what a lovely set of pics - I agree - pity  he didn't finish before the sinister minister who was calling him moley to the end
