And of course you can't forget the intervention of Brett (if i remember the psychologists name right) telling her to change her ways and in the process dump Adelle right into it.

Villains are fine for Panto but you need some whitehats/heros too. Mel might have fit the bill but as about the only postive figure couldn't carry the show on her own even if the public saw her as good which they probably didn't.”

I dunno if it was desperation or a deliberate ploy by C4 but these are some of the most wretched bb stars they could of found imo.

*bump*

I HATE it sometimes when I am proved right - sometimes, I would rather be wrong

WTF is Jeff doing there? Why is he part of a 'behind the scenes' shows

C4 make me sick ... continually ensuring the morons Jeff and Jade are pampered to at every opportunity

It's all this preferrential treatment towards Jade that feeds the massive ego that she has.It's all done out of guilt I think of the way she was being slagged off by the media whilst she was in the BB house.Unfortunately they've gone too far the other way

What on earth makes them think that we like Jade?

Jade was fourth - she got around 1.4 million votes - as meso said with help from Brett and Adele. To be fair she must have been very near to Alex on the first vote if you looked at the individual totals for subsequent vote counts - but a miss is as good as a mile.

Kitten didn't stay long enough to be voted out. Anoushka was as you say thrown out asap (pity but true) Tim I think survived longer but he wasn't nominated the week before he went because they had the pick a straw nomination (which saved Jade) and didn't get nominated enough before that. The point about Tim and Victor is that they were massively disliked as was Nick. Narinder and Kitten and Marco were just annoying by comparison. Originally casting a panto with just Alex who had fans but put people off too and Mel who was great but disliked by many for being beautiful and sexy and flirtatious was just asking for poor ratings.

Strangely, no winner or runner up took part and if you think about BB1-3 and 5 you have there people who might look quite good as panto stars and still have big fan bases. Even BB4 could provide a few people if you looked past the last 3.

Why have they picked so many disliked / unpopular housemates for this show?

Couldn't get anyone else?

But how good are the ratings for this lot?

That said, I've found myself liking Mel and sometimes even Nick and Narinder. Also, Anoushka seems quite nice. It's never made sense to me that she was voted out so quickly (except as evidence for some kind of prejudice against good looking young women).

I would rather they lie about it as long as it means that you get a good, well produced, smooth show.
You'd moan if it was live and crap.
