  1. I was a little disappointed in what Gretel offered.

    She let’s us know she’s a single mother – said in every interview she’s ever had. Said she’s involved in charity work – said ditto.

    I was disappointed in her lack of self-reflection however. There wasn’t a moment of critical insight, a demonstration that she accepted that at some stages of her career, aspects of her negative experience or her performance were of her own creation. I say this simply because that is true for all of us and I think the best human stories are those that provide us with insights about how *we* may do better ourselves etc.

    She’s an intelligent, well-versed, extremely well read woman who negotiates culture and society. I expected that higher level of discourse – at least a glimpse – and it wasn’t there.

  2. OK…I did just watch it on catchup…and yes…really good interview…would like it to have been longer…but that is not what One plus One do….
    And Gretel is right…other peoples opinions are just that…their opinions…not who you are..

  3. Ive just watch this mini interview with wonderful gretel. I quite enjoyed it very much. Thanks to ABC and the programe (one plus one) Fantastic idea to have gretel for a interview when it comes to past and present in reality tv programes. I love how gretel thinks and she seems very opimistic and very carefully spoken in words. Shes a smart woman and a wonderful personality. She has everything rights and i agree everything she said. Suppose becoming a host Co- fo a programe such as big brother can be stresfull and what your limits are and not permited and so on. I do hope oneday she will come back even if its just a special moment having a special ex co-host of big brother for channel 9 next to Sonia. With all due respect if abc tv did a interview like this with sonia.. More likely she would end up joking and carrying on expressions and its just does no work like that. Thats why i felt that gretel was much control and better for bb show when it came to reality tv. However sonia is doing a fantastic job always smiling but really perhaps sonia could be having same consequences as what gretel went thru when it comes to programes as a host for big brother and what not. I just love gretel. I hope oneday she comes back only to be on this show just to say g’day to australia. I dont fully like sonia the way she carry on with her loughs and then screams with a smile..

    Its like not the actual type woman to host big brother. The act for bb show as a host is to be serious smile about this. Not just carrying on like a teenie. Never the less all i can say gretel your a brilliant person and you have a great theory of everything that comes around us all. Sonia always doing the best. But just like any host past and present theres always hiden things behind them its not like we must like every one whos infront of you but you have to make it out you like them even if its on television. Thanks David. Im sure this programe would had gone high ratings just to see gretel. I just hope im not the only one talking about it.

    What do you think david and everyone ? did you enjoy her interview? shes very optimistic and opinion facts and i like that the way she thinks right.

  4. Thanks to David Knox. Great find. This is fantastic. Im glad to be able to see gretel on television for a special interview. I have my dvd recorder on stand by so i don’t miss a thing.

    Really i just reckon sonia is doing a fantastic job But she is been far too imaturity for her age… when gretel did the bb show on channel ten it was done simple and fact and no time wasting or been stupid or lough out loud. But sonia loughs out loud and says ooooh fabelours aint they wonderfull in the bb house.. Just odd coments by her mouth. But gretel wasn’t like that. Gretel new how to make the bb show run perfect and under control. Not over board.
