People thought it would be her creating the headlines as she seems controversial, I think she has come across fine so far. But still early days.

I like Liz, but I think it's because I'm similar in the sense that I'm introverted and not at ease in social situations. I think in the situation the OP describes, it's more in her nature to avoid it. She's less comfortable putting herself out there and getting involved in situations like that. Plus, she has no responsibility over Jasmine.

I think that's why she's a journalist. She has a lot to say (or a lot she wants to say) but can't do it in real social situations. It's a lot easier to get your point across in writing for people like her (and me).

I like Liz, Liz to stay

I hear what you're saying but if it had been a real-life car-crash - as opposed to a C5 televised one - I doubt that Lizard would have stepped in for fear of getting blood on her shoes. Unless of course she was wearing an old pair of Louboutins that needed their red soles touching up.

"...after decades spent in media and fashion I'm pretty certain Liz Jones can recognise an attention seeking, badly-acted, put-on drama when she sees one... that's why she stayed where she was."

Yeah, we've had that one.

She's controversial when all she has to do is sit behind a keyboard, criticise people to the screen of her laptop, pick-up a £500k pay-cheque from the DM and have moderators edit out negative comments to her 'journalistic-input' as has happened recently.

Clearly the DM have been aware that Liz was going on CBB for some time, and therefore have been focussed upon deleting negative comment to her most recent articles on the basis that she'll sell more papers for them whilst on CBB and they don't want to undermine her. Has anyone else noticed how the DM is not reporting directly on her ? Everyone else gets it in the neck, but not La Liz.

What's interesting to me is that most negative comment in the house is directed against her. We don't see why on TV because the whole thing is edited down, but then again a lack of communication with house-members and distancing doesn't make for good TV.

Instinctively house-members know that she isn't to be trusted, and seeing Linda Nolan's reactions to Liz Jones is a bit like watching a mongoose stalk a cobra.
