Whenever I think of a HMs life after BB I think of when I first moved to Australia and my friends dragged me to a bar because they wanted to meet Vesna. I hadn't watched a second of BBAU so I had no clue who she was but based on the fact that there were maybe 15 people there to see her and 8 or so of them were my friends, I would've sworn she'd been on the show years before for a week or two. Turns out she'd been on that year and not only that, she was really popular!! Every time I see someone mention her on the forum now I think about sitting with her on the couch of this dodgy bar in Brunswick feeling so sorry and uncomfortable for this girl as she drank with us for awhile because really there wasn't much of anyone else other than staff for her to talk to. It was awful.
I just think Drew is so much smarter than that and would understand that he might be hot this second but chances are it's all going to disappear quickly because except for a very select few, it always does so not to buy into any of it at all and just keep himself grounded. Even thinking of Estelle's horse on ebay now that she's auctioning off for the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal, she can't even crack $150 for it and she had a massive amount of really devoted fans last year. How bad is that considering how much Tim's jacket went for for the same charity?! Caleb I can see still trying to milk whatever he can for as long as he can regardless of his pride but I just can't see it with Drew. Or if he does, it'd be like you said and he'd take the money and run. Anything else and I'd be really surprised and also disappointed.
Wow, that's really sad to read. But you know, it's such a fickle game, and surely they know what they are getting themselves into, especially if they are previous BB fans.
I do think you are right about Drew. He's switched on and would know he has to face his friends and family when the hype dies down. All his hashtags etc would probably be messages to them (not fans) to let them know: "don't worry, I'm not turning into a flog".. dare I say, some of those pics really aren't at the level of cool that the guy projected in the house. [Edit] - not referring to the last few pics above where he's out, dressed all in black. That's the Drew I remember from the BB house!!!!
I just want to see him reach payday, I want that for all my favourites. Life's hard enough, if they can reach that cash before the lights go down, they've nailed it.
