Corey: Just a Nervous Kid

Corey Party-Boy-Worthington-Delaney-Whatever else he wants to be called has had his 15 minutes of fame, and now he is going for minutes 16-30.

We've seen plenty of interviews on current affairs shows peppered with answers of no more than a few words, and interviewers struggling to fill out the time allotted for the story. But is there really any more than that to the kid for us to learn in the BB house?

Kyle's request to the audience tonight seemed spot on. "Let him speak... then boo him." The audience's negative reaction didn't seem to phase Corey, but then you'd think he'd be used to that by now.

When Corey entered the House, he was like a deer in the headlights. He was just a nervous kid. The whole thing seemed to overwhelm him and he seemed to just want to look at his shoes, rather than his new housemates. Luckily Saxon was quick to take Corey under his wing.

He has already spent some time alone in the House. When he had a moment to slip away he spent some time hiding in the dining room playing with a balloon. He doesn't seem to be taking the big group thing easily. Having his appointed Nanna there is not going that well for him either. Terri has already asked him many times if he is feeling tired and what time is his usual bedtime.

Terri has questionned him on his education and Corey admitted that he passed the first 2 months of Year 10 because his mum did all his schoolwork for him, and he has worked doing some carpentry since leaving school.

At the moment he is very shy and quiet but I expect he might become a bit more involved and rowdy after the first night. Somehow I don't see him chipping in with cooking and cleaning and it will be up to Terri to put him in his place in that regard.
