Clearly journeys are not what they used to be, but the PHD founder has clearly made the right decision to quit the house while he is still ahead of the game. He seems to have played it just right. Gone in and sampled something we all talk about, even if we don’t watch, and come out unscathed with another experience notched up on his belt. In his comments to his fellow housemates, he suggested he had taken risks in coming in, and he seemed to be talking about both personal and professional. "I'm very happy... but walking around with Brian this morning I asked myself why I was here." Jonathan then listed a number of items on the outside world that he'd put on hold or 'risked' "to be on this thing. I've been so reckless to do this. " "I'm all right so I can stop doing this... No complaints. I'm very happy it's taken me 30 years to get there. It's not to do with the house... this journey is all about me... I don't regret any of this. I feel like I've won' Big Brother' because I've got something out of it." Clearly such an endeavour is a risky thing. The show can have a devastating impact on some, while others find their lives picked over the tabloids, which had already been happening to Durden. He exits this morning having been nominated once and survived and escaped a nomination this week. He could have stayed longer, but as his announcement about his departure reduced Carole and Charley to tears he has clearly left them wanting more. What better way is there to go?
Make your mind up Jonathan, what are you doing? David Emin seems to know what's going on in the forums, but really if you are going to leave then leave!
It appers that his "journey" is not yet complete. As the Sun had it today Durden decided to stay after a day of "tedious speculation". I know, I can hardly talk.
