Day 78: Anthony wins!

Anthony is the winner of Big Brother 2005. On hearing the news he covered his face before leaping up and jumping around the lounge area, and then shouting Ding Dong!
He didn't seem to think of Eugene very much, and only commiserated Eugene after Davina told Eugene that he had 30 seconds to leave the house.
Whilst Eugene had his interview with Davina outside of the Big Brother house, Anthony was walking around grinning and jumping about, throwing himself over the orange sofa's and generally going a little hyper at the fact that he'd actually won - something which he'd said he really wanted to do, and as others had commented, was something that he'd almost certainly make the most of out of the four finalists.
When Davina spoke to Anthony she said "alreeet!" and he replied with his trademark "alreeet!" back, before being told that the door was unlocked and that she was coming to get him.
He stood in the doorway with one arm raised high and one down by his side, before fireworks lit up the night sky above the Big Brother house. Davina then near enough dragged him down the walkway to the stage, as he wasn't moving very fast and was spending more time looking at the banners and touching hands with fans.
The interview
Davina asked Anthony how he felt about winning, before going on to ask how she felt about Eugene taking half the cash - he doesn't seem very pleased about what Eugene chose (maybe because he's £50,000 or even £150,000 down on what he could have won) but says that he's going to have a huuuuge holiday.
The relationship with Craig was also bought up, and Anthony made the point that they were good mates before going on to comment on an Afro - clearly not wanting to talk about Craig too much. Just of course, there was a highlights package showing various events during the time in the house, including the many arguments including the time when Craig threw beer over him.
Makosi was the next topic which Davina wanted to talk about, and soon the crowd were chanting "liar, liar, liar!" whilst Makosi sat there looking sheeping and biting her lip.
Anthony says that he "learnt not that much (about himself) to be honest", and one of his best memories from the house was the box challenge.
