Freddie orates his life in 15 minutes

Freddie has prepared and orated a 15-minute long speech to the other housemates all about himself.

Big Brother instructed Freddie to prepare the presentation entitled 'The Life, Times and Thoughts of Halfwit the First' in celebration of his birthday. If all housemates attended, then the house would win two tokens and some music.

After spending an hour writing the piece, Freddie stood before the group and began.

"I was born with a brain and very little understanding of social signals," he said. "I've always been a bit different. I didn't notice people calling me stupid."

Freddie then spoke of global warming and genocide, and his love of music which takes him to "a special place where there's just joy".

As the housemates sat listening, Halfwit continued to self-analyse himself.

"I'm a man of many different sides, many different angles. I sing, I do politics. I am a very social person. I'm a clever person, but I've had to work really hard to even be able to read and write.

"I'm really into politics, but I've been so frustrated with so much of politics."

As the speech wound down, Freddie decided to conclude with the subject of his sexuality.

"I'm so sexual!" he exclaimed.

"Everything's sexual. It is music, it is food - it is enjoyment of everything."

As Big Brother announced that his time was up, he stopped speaking and began singing a piece of light opera.
