YESSSS I am so happy!
As a lot of you know, I have been an avid fan of Big Brother since season 1! I even watch the UK and Australian versions! Anyways, my favourite contestant of ALL TIME is hands down Dustin. And because of the WONDERFUL-NESS of this fabulous website and the kindness of cadybeth, I learned that Dustin was in town!
Well, lets just say I was all nervous as all heck. Yes, I've met celebrities before (I even called Ryan Seacrest a drama queen...to his face!) but Dustin was different. I mean, I watched him 3 times a week for 10 weeks or so, so you really get to know these people as the summer goes by! I liked Dustin since even before the episode because I read his bio online and he seemed really cool and by the end of episode 1 he was my favourite! So when I heard hhe was in town I was going nuts (I hope I don't seem stalker-ish I was just excited!).
So, when I drove to Chammps to meet him I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if it was a meet n' greet, a party, or what. Well, when I arrived I was shaking and clutching my camera and asked the hostess: "is Dustin from Big Brother here?" and she said "yes, are you a part of his party?" and I told her about the post and such, and she said "let me check on it!" and when she came back she said "Ok, yeah go back there, dustins waiting!"
So...as I walk towards the back of the resteraunt, there he was, standing on the stairs, hand outstretched. I couldn't believe it! It was actually Dustin! hahaha. I know its silly but yeah! And then we talked for like 15-20 mins about the show, about him and how he grew up in Minnesota, etc. See, he was at a FAMILY thing at chammps, but is always excited to meet fans. He said its weird meeting fans because he said he is just a normal person so its still strange to be recognized (keep in mind his season just ended less than 2 weeks ago). I kept saying "I hope Im not being a bother!" I mean there was no line up of fans or anyhting, I just didnt want to keep him from his family. But yeah, he introduced me to his brother, sister, and other family members. He was real, down to earth, and wasnt afraid to vent about the jerks in the big brother house (DANIELE!!! he said "Jen really was that selfish, Dick reall was an a-hole, Amber cried just as much if not more, and Daniele really is a nasty b***h!" He also told me some interesting behind-the-scenes things about the show and said he is excited about his trip to barbados that he won!!!
I also said goodbye before I left and well, lets just say it was really an awesome experience. I stopped being nervous almost instantly because he was so fun and down to earth, just like he was on the show! It was amazing, thanks again Cadybeth!!!!
