The following is an Interview the morning after I was evicted from the BB house. The interview was with Australia's highest rated breakfast show. Have a listen, because once again, you will hear i cannot help but mention CBS Survivor.I can say that I was considered the most controversial, entertaining and polarizing Housemate Big Brother has had, but think it is better you hear what Australia's only late night talk-show host had to say.
I thought this was so funny once I saw it. BB06 - Michael Gets A Treat

I was sick of watching boring people go on reality shows and play it safe. So when the opportunity presented itself I had to step up. I did not want to be known as one of those people who would say "I would do this or that" and not come through. I will say strategy, manipulation, and forming voting blocks was not to be used in Big Brother, or in Australia for that matter. It is better suited back home in the States or on a show like Survivor. But in the end, I accomplished most of what I set out to do. The following video is proof I had an impact on the Australian audience but I also polarized many of my fellow Housemates. CHECK THIS FOOTAGE OUT AND SEE HOW I WAS LABELED THE VILLAIN OF BB06. OH HOW I LOVED IT....

In regards to my stay in the Big Brother house- I was in it; those of you who saw it have more knowledge than me. Below is the Wikipedia entry for me to date compiled by you all.
The official entry can be found here on Wikipedia and you can change bits you feel are wrong or not quite complete.:

Michael McCoy (born June 16, 1980) is a political science student from Sydney, New South Wales. He is of Anglo-Celtic and Filipino descent. Michael was the first housemate to enter the Big Brother House this year. He is often perceived as "the only housemate in the history of Big Brother, who displayed any signs of intelligence", and the most exciting and controversial Big Brother housemate in the shows six seasons.

On Day 2, he was given the task of the Insider by Big Brother, having been chosen by the viewing public. If he succeeded in his tasks, he would be immune from being nominated, but if he failed he would automatically be put up for eviction.

He failed his first mission within minutes of being assigned the task, which was to secretly spill water on a bed that was occupied by two housemates. Michael opted to spill water on Gaelan's bed, which at the time was only used by Gaelan himself. Because of that, and because he also didn't empty the whole bottle, he was awarded his first strike. Soon after, he was given other missions, one of which was to be nominated by at least eight of his fellow housemates in the next round of nominations. To complete this mission he fabricated a story about a custody issue concerning his young son Reuben, claiming he wanted to leave the house to concentrate on this issue. After Big Brother revealed to the other housemates that Michael was the Insider, and that the Reuben story was pure fiction, Michael faced a strong backlash from several housemates angry at being duped in this way, especially from Anna who had little contact with her father. It was revealed on Michael's eviction night that Reuben is actually the name of one of Michael's real life friends.

Despite no longer being the Insider, Michael continued to cause conflict in Week 5, hiding cutlery as well as hiding the housemates' toothbrushes from them, never revealing their locations even after he had been evicted, attempting to create doubts as to whether or not there is another insider inside the house besides Michael. He was the 5th housemate to be evicted from the house on Day 36, with 20% of the merged vote.

The day after he was evicted, Michael appeared on the Nominations show and had a heated discussion with Gretel Killeen about the producers' editing regarding a scene where Michael and housemate David appeared to be kissing. The outfall resulted in media attention and the interview with Gretel was later labelled "The Gretel Incident" by fans due to Gretel's extremely hostile interviewing tactics during the scene.

The day after this incident Michael appeared on Rove Live and when host Rove McManus insulted Michael, the former housemate returned fire by bluntly telling Rove he wasn't as funny as the show's co-host Peter Helliar. When asked about "The Gretel Incident", Michael suggested that Friday Night Live and Big Brother UpLate host Mike Goldman, or Friday Night Live co-host and former housemate Ryan Fitzgerald, would be better hosts of Big Brother than Gretel Killeen.

As has become custom over the history of the show, Michael appeared along with all the other 2006 housemates on the Rove Live episode of the week of the final. In his usual style he said what everyone wanted to say but were too afraid to. As soon as he was asked to speak, he immediately questioned why John and Ashley were not present, and attempted to get the host to bring them on.
