Well, Eileen just said it sort of in passing. She was really trying to say how hard her second nomination was. I'm not saying she hadn't erred at that point but she can't really be blamed for the way the other HMs fell about laughing. But
after the fact she could certainly have showed a little more awareness instead of trying to make out Jade's response was reprehensible.
In Jade's defense, she must have felt very hurt by the comment and laughter, and she reacted. It was a childish retaliation, nothing more. But again,
after the fact she tried to make out that only Eileen was to blame. That I can't abide.
We all get swept up in the heat of the moment from time to time. To err is human. Trying to draw a veil over your own mistakes is another thing entirely, and they're both guilty of that. The only thing left to do is sit back and watch. Popcorn, anyone?
