Jade was saved because BB took her into the DR for a talk with the psychologist (as all HMs used to) but she went in all cocky and came out all meek and mild
rumor has it she was spoken to by the then BB agent John Noel and taken on their books and the next day there was a swift change in the coverage in the press going from being compared to a pig to being the BB princess
Adele then became the baddie in the press
it was peculiar on LF to see the before DR jade and the after DR jade
most of the BB team had John Noel as their agent at that time and he did seem to get to cherry pick the contestants he wanted
