yeah, i can't really see this being "the end" for jade. what does she do for a living? appears in celeb-gossip mags and reality-tv programmes telling all about her life. well this is just another stage in her life. for as many headlines saying "boo hiss jade" i'm sure there's just as many people reading them thinking "well she's not all that bad" and "i'd like to hear her side of the story"...

Definitely....there will probably be anti-bullying campaigns with Shilpa and Jade in them with Jade saying "you don't have to be a bully forever.i changed...so can you...."bellator said:
I think C4 have orchestrated this and have really hung her out to dry. Of course the program will continue which means that they obviously couldn't careless about the complaints. I'm not defending Jade or the others, their behaviour 3was reprehensible and Jade was rightly booed, however the program shoudl have been taken off the air in a quiet and dignified manner.PieEye said:
That was certainly uncomfortable viewing.

And in a perverse sort of way this may turn into a good thing.
BB started as an "experiment" into how different people from different backgrounds interact in a closed and controlled and environment. And there has always been some element of pack mentality in all the series - celeb or otherwise.
This series has opened up a massive tin of worms about the way that people interact outside of their social groups. Jade, Danielle & Jo have shown themselves to be nasty, racist and bitchy within a group that they feel comfortable. Similar backgrounds and ethics. Not necessarily racist but ignorant and stupid. And they've shown the sort of things that people say behind closed doors about people who are from a background/culture different to them. People who would say "some of my best friends are black/gay etc.".
I think my biggest problem with all this is that Jade has been set up to be the fall guy . I'm in no sense justifying Jade but I think that Danielle in particular should have to face up to her part in all this. Her clip in the show tonight where she tried to chum up to Shipa smacked of a very media savvy and cynical person trying to pass all the blame onto Jade. And Jo is by no means blameless either.

A lot seemed staged. And Jade said something in the interview about something everyone had told her not to say. What was that? Who was the everyone? Housemates? Producers? What?nonamenopackdrill said:
I wanted Jade to be shown video of Danielle and Jo. Especially Danielle being two-faced, and racist. Because I wanted to see how she reacted, if that aided her understanding. But I guess the production company want to think they've put the racism to rest now that Jade is gone. But in fact the real racist is still in the house.

I don't think so...but they certainly anticipated it and knew for defo when the eviction result was called at the end of the first programme and there was no crowd noise (and a very vague 'we'll be getting you shortly').
First time ever that they've not used the phrase 'your best bits' either.

Because Jade's more entertaining to watch on TV than Shilpa? Big Brother's entertainment, after all, and watching Jade picking fights, arguing, and saying incredibly stupid things is more the kind of thing people watch Big Brother to see than Shilpa doing the washing up and smiling sweetly.

The thing is, you don't blame the victim of bullying for the bullying - nothing she did deserved the treatment she got. Nothing.PieEye said:
That isn't the same as saying if there had been no bullying we might not have found her annoying, but being annoying doesn't make you deserving of a campaign of bullying. And of the racism Danielle, and to a lesser extent Jo, is guilty of.

I hope so. I know that's normally the way it works. But I just thought this was different. So different that for me Big Brother has now run its course; I can't imagine watching another series after this one. Where would they go?Yossarian said:

no - I wouldn't but Germaine Greer's article in particular showed a different view point. One that explored the possibility that Shilpa's game was irritating and making the girls react to her in such a way that painted her as the victim.
I find that a little far fetched tbh - plus she claims to have had no previous awareness of the show so wouldn't have worked out a game plan that was quite so complex. Plus does she need to win it? She's there to raise her profile and that has certainly happened!
There are people who think she deserved that treatment and not because they are racists - but because they just think she was cynical and acting a role.
