what the ?

65 year old Germaine Greer said she had made a mistake by taking part in the reality tv show for which she was reportedly paid £50,000. She was the first contestant to have bailed out of this year's programme. Her decision to quit the programme was as surprising as her decision to take part in it, after previously savaging the show and its viewers as "worse than voyeurs" and those who took part as "exhibitionists" with "pampered egos". She had gone into the house vowing to "strike a blow for old ladies", and her departure robbed viewers of the prospect of seeing her lock horns with the chauvinistic racing pundit John McCririck. "I was a little naive. I didn't realise agendas," she said. "Caprice is here to raise awareness of her lingerie. Brigitte is a professional reality TV person. Kenzie wants to raise the profile of his band. John probably needs the money."
