Jack next to go. He irritates me so much.

I want him to stay now, get drunk and dry hump Danielle's leg. It wouldn't surprise me. He probably doesn't realise he's on camera.

[Cherubic]

Camera? he probably things it's a magical fairy box.

Jade - "When I was told... I mean when I thought about when I called her Shilpa whatever Pappadum..."

And I turned off in disgust. If they're going to give her an easy ride she could at least have the decency to learn her lines well.

There was obviously a big gap between her leaving the house and doing the interview. Hence how Davina looked a bit different afterwards, jade seemed like she had been crying as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jade wasn't out that house within 10 mins of being told she was evicted. The footage right after the news of her being evicted was so short that they tried to show things happening at both sides of the house to make it seem longer.

[Muinimula]

Well at least Davina didn't say "Well done, Jade. You were a great housemate and here are your best bits."

Davina's interview was certainly better than I was expecting. She didn't gloss over the issue, and then move onto other topics. And even though Jade said "I'm not a racist, or say anything in a racial way", she couldn't defend the bullying.

[Robbing the Dead]

Davina was alright. But you can tell she'd be told to push her and sound a bit angry. "Imagine it's Makosi or Aisleyne" one of the producers probably advised her.

Overall I think Jade came out of it OK. I think Danielle is even looking OK now. It's boot-faced Jo that gets me the most.

[Nicholas]

Yes - I thought Davina did better than expected: to be honest, she was in a pretty difficult situation. Although she should be held to account for her behaviour, Jade wasn't there to be crucified and I think Davina did ok in those circumstances.

Did anyone notice the sound jump when the applause (etc) started at the end? I can't help wondering if that was canned applause, at least in part.

[David]

I was willing Jade to use the word "racialist", and she finally did in the interview.

I suspect that there was a few seconds' delay in the live broadcast, just in case the audience got jumpy or someone started using unacceptable language. I think the 'jump' at the end was the live link coming back in. Done very badly, if that was the case.

Looking at the above comments again, I'd say the gaps were indeed much longer.

I'm sure someone will have posted it on youtube within a few minutes, so don't worry.

So, now we get to see how the house reacts to Jade's eviction. Will there be more backpedalling from the Shilpa's other persecutors? I wouldn't be surprised if Danielle now decides Shilpa's her best mate and spends every available moment stroking her hair, but of course that won't happen, cos she's so naive, right?

Bring on the next evicition, be it Jo, Danielle or Jack. You can guarantee they'll get a crowd of boos thrown at them, without the protection Jade's had, and should struggle to defend their actions too.

[xenomaniac]

I'm probably really easily manipulated by Endomol but I kinda felt a bit sorry for Jade. She is undeniably vile and agressive but she is also thick as a brick. I feel the main comment she has been called up on (Shilpa whatever Pappadum) is more to do with her lack of vocabulary and inability to express herself than actual racism. Shilpa seems very astute and if she is understanding of the factors behind it from her vantage, then I'm willing to be.

What isn't in question is the sheer maliciousness that is displayed in the house. Everyone here is very quick to condemn it and yet we get threads on who would out bully each other between contestants. Well that seems a bit weird to me.

I've only really caught bits and pieces of the programmes in recent years. Its really not Lowcuture anymore, its just trash.

I long for these days...although without the high-pitched harpie.

What that clip proves is that BB's Geordie announcer has become inexplicably more Geordie every year.

[David]

She is undeniably vile and agressive but she is also thick as a brick.

Thick as a brick to the tune of £8.5 million, apparently.

She's as thick as Danielle is naive.

[David]

And it starts now:

From Media Guardian:

BREAKING MEDIA RUMOURS:
Senior source close to newspaper buy-up deals tells us that official Big Brother agent John Noel has done a News of the World deal for Jade as described below - money to charity, full copy approval.
He wants "to hit the biggest numbers" in a massive damage limitation exercise. Noel has, our source tells us, told Channel 4 and Endemol to ensure Shilpa comes to him as agent then he can engineer the reunion, tv apology, do a show about them learning to get along and keep a lid on it all. That's his job I suppose.

[charliepops]

Seeing that clip from "the good old days" of BB has reminded me that I still haven't quite got over all the hate I felt for Tim.

God, i'd forgotten how much of an ugly bastard Jonny was.

Oh, Alex. He was great, and yet no-one mentions him now. Probably because all he's done since 2002 has ran someone over and fought over a dog with Mel from BB1.

Wayne Roney's a millionaire but I wouldn't have him file my tax return.

[JonSpice]

Jade's not entirely stupid, but I don't think that her £8.5m has come about without some astute financial advice and rather sinister management (it sickens me that John Noel wants Shilpa on his books - hopefully she won't fall for it).

I did find it funny that Jade told Jo she should bring out a country and western album - surely THE whitest musical genre?

[pauliepoos]

The Sun is reporting Endemol had to protect her as they've got a chat show with her that they need to sell.

[jem]

Myself and my flatmate spent last night shouting fix, fix what a load of crap. Danielle's faux apology made her look like the stupid cow she obviously is.

[pauliepoos]

The Sun is going up in my estimation. (Yes, I know how wrong that sounds)

[Cherubic]

Peter Bazalgette looks the spit of my old boss there. And Bruce Forsyth.

[pauliepoos]

Another reminder of Jade's diplomacy, and her hatred of liars.

[mattclat]

I'm so dissappointed in Jo, I really liked her because she was being herself the most out of anyone, but that turns out to be her downfall as herself seems to be a nasty piece of work!

Yes Noel because as a famous Bollywood actress Shilpa is really looking for an agent who can shove her in as many UK reality TV shows as possible. I'm sure he'll be very useful to her in India. Tragically I actually think he'll be offended if she doesn't jump at the chance to work with him though I'm assuming sending Jade and her awful clan into the BB house which has lead to the downfall of a pretty lucrative cash cow isn't going to look great on his CV.

Re: the eviction & interview, yes Jade had clearly been briefed, stuff she'd said in the house and her general lack of surprise at the furore she'd caused confirmed it. However Davina was OK, though she'd presumably been briefed to come down on Jade harder to keep with Channel 4's whole no tolerance thing.

However what I enjoyed was Jade trying as often as possible to bring the conversation round to the racism aspect which she was more comfortable in denying and looking decidedly more uncomfortable and less sure what to say when Davina brought up the subject of her coven's bullying and bitching about Shilpa.

In other news even after the eviction Jo continues to piss on the grave of her own career.
