Why? Why should someone who is famous for being famous win over people who are famous for actually doing things? (Except the WAG). Hell, even Jo from S-Club and H from Steps had to work for their fame. The others actually have talent of some sort. Jade Goody is successful because she's thick.
Not a shrewd businesswoman, nope; if she were intelligent in any way, she wouldn't be successful because she'd just be another ordinary wannabee. Her brainlessness is what makes her stand out, what gets her column inches and what makes people identify with her. And there is no way that it's all put on - it's just her.
There's nothing wrong with someone unintelligent doing well, but it is disturbing to see stupidity glorified.

My wife thinks I work too hard
Dirk Benedict seemed strangely familiar to me even though I never watched the A Team. Then I worked it out: He reminds me of an ex-boyfriend from when I was 17. But do you know what's sadder? Further investigation shows that my ex boyfriend was trying to be Face from the A-Team and had tried using his mannerisms and accent. I always knew he was a bit of a wanker but now I know for sure. I never understood why he talked like that when he was from rural Shropshire.

Leo is doing a 3 day silent treatment to the people he doesn't think are celebrity enough- basically Jade et al
I thought he was better than that...

the vicious nasty appalling treatment Goody received when she was in the house in the first place - one of the most appalling things the UK Press has ever been guilty of, IMO, just a sustained vile attack on someone's appearance and intelligence - makes me really fucking pleased that she's actually turned it all to her own advantage. She seems like a fairly sweet girl with no illusions about herself, which makes her better than a lot of the people she's in the house win. If she were to win this, I think it would be a good thing.

I hope Ms Thick As Pigshit loses and loses badly (ie knocked out ASAP). Faceman for the win!

The person I have learned to dislike the most is the journo. When she was pumping Cleo for the story of her life, and she said that heartbreaking stuff about Kenny Everett, I was shouting "Don't tell her Cleo!" at the screen. The woman's face said it all.
Cleo's my favourite so far.

Can I just say about Jade, though. Jade is a new kind of celebrity, brought to us by Big Brother. She's the big success story of Big Brother. She's the exemplar of what reality TV is all about. She's "living the dream". Now, some of you might not like that, but she's as much as celebrity as someone who acts in a soap, or walks on a catwalk. She is familiar to the TV-watching, magazine-reading, tabloid-buying public. Ergo she is a *real* celebrity, whatever people on this thread might wish was the case.
She might not be very bright, but so what? There are plenty of people who aren't very bright; it doesn't make them worthy of our disdain. She might be, in the view of some people, "common". Again, so what? Plenty of people are "common". I'd rather spend time with "common" people than with members of the Groucho Club.
I didn't follow BB3, but I understand that it was Jade's tenuous grip on geography that endeared her to the telephone-voting public. I remember I was in Ireland at the time and her "Isn't East Angular abroad?" line being quoted at me everywhere I went. Some people might think this is a bizarre thing to be famous for, and it is, but then so is being famous for being a debutante (eg Tara Palmer-Thingy), for kicking a ball about (eg Wayne Ronney), for wearing a wig and fluffing bad jokes on the autocue (eg Bruce Forsyth), for any number of things. It isn't any stranger than being famous for playing a soap character.
The botton line is, people are being very superior and snobbish about Jade's fame, and I think that betrays a pretty unattractive mind-set. And it's basically a dislike of anyone or anything "common" or "uneducated". Now, what does that sound like?

you've just articulated exactly what I was feeling when I was reading the posts on this thread. Celebrity is a pretty arbitrary thing but it's only Jade who gets a drubbing for it. If anyone should be criticised for not being a worthy enough celebrity, it should be people like that journalist who's on it, or the hasbeens who are so desperate to stay famous, not anyone who is gauche enough to be straight and admit that, like the others, all they wanna do is be famous

I don't like Jade because she is vacuous. She is symbolic of an age of dumbed down celebrity being fed 24/7 to the public, in place of far more interesting stuff that the powers that be would rather we do not think about.
But I don't single her out, there are plenty of other vacuous people in sport, soap operas, boy/girl bands etc.
They are all vile creations of a system that wishes us all to cease thinking.
I don't like Jade because of what she represents, just like all the other annoying tools thrust in our face at ever given opportunity.
Fuck the vacuous thats what i say, see the terrible disease that has been inflicted upon us for what it is.

Ok really...it's clear she's not the brightest button but I just don't understand all the hate on this thread....Like it or not she is a celebrity and therefore worthy of being on this show.
It's funny that people are knocking her because she became a celebrity by being on big brother and suggesting that she doesn't deserve the 'status'...... yet people are still watching the show and making it a success, therefore ensuring that 'people' like Jade still have their chance of becoming a 'celebrity' by appearing on and doing well out of the show.
I'm not denying that some of the things she comes out with make me cringe, but i genuinely think she is harmless. Definately not worthy of all the venom being spat her way...I hate to think what the press are gonna write, probably a similar hatchet job to last time, she obviously has decided it's worth it and knows it isn't gonna hurt her bank balance. She braver than I, that's for sure.

you're trying to dress up the same nasty sneering that's been prevalent in other posts as some kind of social comment or aesthetic judgement. But for all your 'blah blah blah' you're being as much of a wanker as those coming right out and saying it.

I understand you....I don't like what Jade represents but I accept it exists and can't hate on her because she is exploiting it, as, I believe she is being exploited herself just as much, if not more.exosculate said:

Looks like Jackiey ( <--wtf?) has had some sort of falling out with Shilpa.....pretty predictably really...Jade's doing her best to subtley suggest that her mum...errrrr...calms down a bit should we say (think she had brushed off an attempt to apologise and clear the air by Shilpa), but it's all going right over her mums head so far.
Feel a bit sorry for Jade now - being that much more media savvy than she was the first time around, she's obviously aware of having to tailor her behaviour a bit, whereas her mum most definitely isn't!
Looks like she's slightly dreading whatever might be coming next....
