Hi all, been lurking for ages, thought I'd better jump in...

Now this is just wild speculation (as per usual), but it appeared to me that Jade playing up to and becoming the "baby" of the group paid off for her big time in the musical chairs task and subsequent choices.

First, in the "draw" with Johnny. There was a bit of tension during the brief stand-off, then Johnny, all credit to him, sacrifices himself while Jade just sits there looking smug. Now I would like to think that in that situation, had I been on the same seat as someone who has yet to be on the rich side, I would have done the honourable thing and at least given them the chance of leaving the poor side. Instead, Johnny either feels sorry for Jade or, more likely, doesn't want to start an immature argument with her. Result: Jade is favourably treated.

Secondly, in Alex's final choice. Given how quickly he brought PJ over, I was surprised that when, down to Kate and Jade, it took him so long to decide for Jade. This implies that (assuming he wasn't acting) he was weighing up the merits of leaving Kate on the poor side for a week and any potential reaction from Jade. I think he was hoping that Johnny would pick Jade, but again I suspect that he didn't want to provoke any reaction from Jade either.

Now I could be wrong but that's how it seemed to work out from where I was watching it. (Incidentally, I had to watch the live task on an itty-bitty portable upstairs because my wife wanted to watch Pride and Prejudice. Can you imagine that...somebody actually choosing to watch one of the best TV productions of the last ten years rather than a bunch of adults play musical chairs.)

This task was certainaly up Jades street, But she didnt just do it to Jonny she did it to some-one else as well. I just can't remember who it was

If I was Jonny Id have picked her first to go on the poor side (for sitting tight on that chair when he probably got there first), then spent the whole week ignoring her

With the size of that fukin arse she took up 2 chairs....

Jade has got away with murder because of her position in the group. As the baby of the group (and that stupid voice), she got through the first evicction, it's the main reason that Alex took her over to the rich side and it's the only reason that nobody has punched her with all the insults she's been throwing. How Alex didn't throttle her with the 'batty boy' comments I don't know, as if I was him I would be in that diary room telling them if they didn't kick her out straight away that he would walk himself.

Just imagine if Alison had done the task. All the chairs would be timber!

On this subject when they were picking who should go on which side and there was only kate and jade left you could hear adele whisper to alax "pick jade" surely this should not have been alowed

Adele!

from what i could see Jade was sat with two very big cheeks on the chair... Jonny barely had one scrawny cheek balanced on the edge. It seemed plain then that Jade won fair and square, as much as i detest the woman.

Yes Adele needs a strike now she has been too much whispering and influencing the other HMs votes, give her 2 actually and tell her she can,t nominate either LOL

BUT SHE IS NOT A BABY SHE IS TWENTY ONE for crying out loud and is only a year behind Pj and Spencer and a few years different than all the rest .
When i was 21 i was the life and soul of the party but never ,never ever a baby .
So why don,t he HMs ewake up and see her for what she really is a spoilt,thick,bitchy ,two faced girl who makes Miss piggy look like her better twin.

Thanks Little Ali

Just wanted to point out a slight flaw in your argument - Jonny was on the rich side for the first week of the divide - but otherwise I totally agree that Jade has made a monkey out of them all!

<MA>

nice one! ever seen the film 'The Blob'? 'bout some gret big amoeboid creature that eats stuff... jade reminded me of the film during musical chairs, the way her arse swallowed up the chair. lucky for johnny that she did not sit on him... they'd have needed a team of pot holers to get him out again!

nope... johnny was there first, jade just used the 'ripple' effect to dislodge him, poor sole... ripple effect? it is the principle that surfing is based on. jade created a tidal wave of flab that got underneath johnny and threw him to the edge of the chair - nought he could do about it!
