If you were Jade how bad would you feel now?
Just watched the eviction. She came out of the house to NO crowd and into the studio where she was boo'ed.
I watched the programmes where she was racist and a bully and insulting and rude and thick ...................... but...................... somehow when I watched her apologise for everything I wondered how much of it had been edited to make "better television".
The things she said were nasty and unnecessary but were they really as bad as has been reported. If Shilpa didnt think they were racist, shouldnt it be her opinion that counts?

If I were Jade Goody I'd be negotiating long term credit facilities with me bank manager - because I've not been as marketable as I am now.
F*ck the rest of 'em.
.
how would jade feel now......
interesting question..... at best it was bullying and at worst it was racism.... and i don't it did twig with her until big brother went over it with her....... if they hadn't called her in she would still have been none the wiser....and that is the sad thing, the penny finally dropped (with a sledgehammer) then came the apology...
how many times have we heard the saying "ignorance is not an excuse"... well here we have living proof...
the sad thing for me is that the bullying for me was worst than the apparent racism, but the bullying element has been swept to one side....
I am surprised that no one twigged that there was no audience outside just by the sound...
I must be the cynical one... i am not buying it.....
All the way thru that interview with devina... all i was hoping and wanted her to hear her say was "sorry for my actions"...... i heard her trying to defend herself. and firefight to save her career but nowhere the word sorry.... and i bet the pr machine will go into overdrive now...... jade goes to india ect ect ect.....watch the sunday papers go into overdrive now
does that mean they will have no public in for danielle and jo either.... because they are as guilty in my eyes as jade
shilpa's intial reaction was that it did have racist overtones and if that is how it makes a person feel belittled... it is not a nice feeling, trust me i have been there
But the things she said _were_ racist. 'Mrs Poppadom' indeed.
Jade can't forever use as a defense, 'But I'm thick'.
She understands perfectly well that it isn't nice to treat people like shit. She's going to be treated that way herself by the press for a while and that will not be nice either, but she needed to be called on her behaviour.
Shilpa has been very ubderstanding and I'm sure Jade is probably quite nice when she's not being an indulged spoilt bitch - a backlash against her is probably the reality check she needs to stop being such a dick.
And I don't for one second buy that she's as dumb as she makes out - pretty dumb, yes, but not to the extent she makes out. Stilll - an image is an image - she's made her fortune out of people feeling a bit sorry for her and now she's been caught out acting the bitch.
I think that Jades boyfriend will walk now.
we all have been brought up with different values & beliefs - sometimes people don't know any different if they live in that same sub culture.
It's naivety if you don't know any different but very wrong if you do.
In this day & age within any culture we ought not to judge anyone for who they are.
Respect all
Not watched it either but hard to avid all the hoo-ha on the news and everywhere. It;s all they talk about at work, too...
yeah have to admit i have read all about it in the papers but knowing what the medias like i tend to take everything they say with a pinch of salt!
I'm sure Jade is just too ignorant to realise what effect her behaviour has had around the world. I don't suppose she ever watches the news so she probably will have to have it explained to her who Gordon Brown is.
No doubt her PR machine will push her into overdrive with all sorts of stunts to attempt to make up for what has happened - yes, probably including going to India, (although she has been there before, as those clips from Living TV on the news showed) but she won't really understand what has happened, she's just too stupid.
breaking news jades just been signed up by the b.n.p as their candidate for mayor for london.
Jade was created by Big Brother, they knew what and who they were putting in the house when they offered her the contract. Each series is a bid to make it bigger than the one before, ratings wars faught with the housemates, editing and spin.
As for the racism accusations; Jade did the same with a few members of the house when she was in there in Big Brother 3, but the other contestants she did it with were white, so it wasn't branded racism, it was branded bullying. If Jermaine had said something towards Shilpa's accent, or vice versa, it wouldn't have been called racism. Think about it carefully as a lot of people are far too quick to throw the 'R word' in there for sensationalism effect, especially the press. It sells papers and gets people jumping like puppets.
It is, most deffinately without question, bullying that has happened on Jade's part towards Shilpa and it was more about a struggle for power than racial slander. Whichever way you call it, her behaviour was WRONG. She's now seen what has happened and apologised. To err is human to forgive is devine... therefore she'll be dragged through the mill for an amount of time until the tabloids are fed up with wasting their column space on her.
I agree with MikeNorth. Her PR machine will go into action and she'll be back into the nation's hearts and pockets within the year. The other two, Danielle and Jo, I'm not so sure they have a great team around them the same as Jade does... so who knows.
Quite ironic that the show that gave her the career is now snatching it back off her. Makes me wonder what their motives were to start with.
