I do not need US$200,000 cash- Confidence
Thursday, 16 June 2011 06:55

Evicted Ghanaian representatives for the Big Brother Amplified reality show, Confidence Haugen has shrugged off suggestions that her reaction when evicted from the House was a reflection of how desperately she needed the $200,000 at stake.

Some commentators have described Confidence’s declaration of “Good, I am done with you guys…I am out of this place,” as a face-saving gesture after her eviction. Quite uncharacteristic of other evictees, Confidence headed straight for the exits, declining to hug and share a word or two with the other Housemates until perhaps her closest friend, Weza, ran to hug her.

Speaking to Katleho Khabele, co-host of the Citi Drive on Monday June 13, 2011, a day after her eviction, the Aphrodisiac night club owner said she was not bothered by the lost opportunity to win free cash, insisting money was not her motivation for going into the contest. For her, it was for the exposure the show came with.

“I wanted to show that we have fabulous people in Africa just like the Kimora Lee Simonses and Kardashians; that there are hard working fabulous women in Ghana. I do not need the money. It’s really about the exposure for me as a business woman”.

The 37-year old said she was voted out of the House because she was seen as a threat by the other housemates and not because she was rude, bossy or boring as some viewers have suggested.

“I am a friendly person, however it is easier to be friendly to people who are genuine. Those people in the Big Brother house are not genuine. It is just a game for them. I tried to be real and open with all the members.”

Confidence had been nominated three times since the inception of this year’s Big Brother six weeks ago but although she survived the first two, Africa voted not to save her this time. She thus misses out on the $200,000 prize money.

She added that she was grateful for the love and support shown by her country folk and the rest of Africa, and promised to continue being a role model for hardworking Ghanaian women.

With the vivacious Confidence out of the house, Ghanaian viewers will now concentrate their attention on Ghana's remaining representative, the smooth-talking Alex, who as Head of House in the Tails section replaced himself with Karen, to hold the fort until the grand finale.

Confidence is expected back into the country on Wednesday evening to address the press on Thursday June 16, 2011.

The Twins rookie looked at strike three against Mariano Rivera to end Monday's 6-4 loss to the New York Yankees that gave the closer his record 602nd save and handed Minnesota its ninth straight loss.
