"It's not a game to me."

She can't remover her emotion from the 'game'. She knows it is a game, she was aware of the show before she agreed to take part, but the pain of being rejected by someone she 'trusted' is too much. But when you think about it, how can you trust someone after a few days of knowing them? You can't. At best it's a superficial trust. She imagines Martin Kemp is her new best male friend in the house, someone she can trust, but the reality is he's just another BB housemate out for himself, out to win!

Her reaction is identical to Andrew Stone's. He didn't care about being nominated but he cried in the diary room. The pain of rejection was too much. He couldn't accept nomination was part of the game.

I don't know if Jasmine is a nice person but she seems a sensitive type. And one thing is certain - if you're sensitive but dish out the abuse, when you get it back it really hurts! Jasmine has just found this out and on national tv.

I don't think this is something Jasmine has just found out, she has done exactly the same thing before on other TV reality shows such as Make Me A Supermodel and Trust Me I'm A Holiday Rep and nobody liked it then either. It's either her unique selling point or she's not a very quick learner.

Excellent quote. Says it all.

Jasmine really reminds me of that boozy, American woman who was on Celebrity Come Dine With Me but I can't remember her name.

Janice Dickinson. Isn't Jasmine a ringer for her in her big BB photo...seperated at birth by about 40 years

that was her name.

oh, I dunno, give it five years and I don't think you'll be able to tell Jasmine from Janice tbh.

I think she's too fragile to be on this show. She uses this bitch persona as a shield and defence mechanism (or even an excuse too) to be the way she is and, to be honest, i think this show is too much for her to take. If she's desperate to provide some constant and large means for her son then I don't think BB is the best route to go down as it could be a negatve thing for her via trying (hoping) to use it as a positive thing thing for her son. The experience of the show for some hms (maybe the more than the less each series?) can turn out to be a very regretful expeience and so she could come out more emtionally upset about 'her shit' that what she was before the show.

I don't know why anyone thinks dealing with their issues in the BB house is a wise thing to do, why not just do it behind closed doors? But i suppose the inner ego has something to do with making the decision.

Excellent, and fitting quote.

Jasmine was saying how she hoped there would an eviction so 'she could start shit' (or whatever she said) but was only upset when she herself was nominated. If she had been safe, and someone else had been reacting the way she actually did, I think she would not have been so sympathetic and maybe even slagging them off for not treating it like a game.

Perceptive post. She is clearly coming out of a 'dark' period which left her fairly isolated (inferred from her convo with Lorenzo) and as you say fragile. I know she needs the money and possibly liked the idea of adult company for a while but it is painful to watch what she is going through especially in company which is not particularly trustworthy. Much as I like her, it may be better for her to leave sooner rather than later and find some empathic person to listen.

I totally agree.
