Jade's not wholly at fault.
Firstly, BB should never have put her in the house.
Secondly, as "Calrissian" has nicely pointed out (in the most posted/thread in this forum), Jade is emotionally immature, but this could change if she was around people who would model mature behavior to her. (Think of how Helen got better the longer she was around people like Dean and Elizabeth, who may've been boring, but never descended into playground mentality).
In an early post, long buried in the flurry (slurry?), I argued that I thought Jade is manic depressive (high/low mood swings). This behavior got worse the more she drank (all the famous Jade-isms about East Angular, Heinstein, etc. were made when she was wildly drunk).
Calrissian's right, IMO, Jade doesn't quite understand what's going on, even while she is very good intuitively on picking up who holds the power in groups (probably a skill learned from the pre-Bridget Jones Bermondsley). Jade's problem is that she's in a s***y environment, and that's a problem that the producers of BB have to take responsibility for, since they "constructed" this BB to have a Survivor-esque competitive atmosphere, rather than the far more communal and co-operative one of last year.
