Mass Media Hysteria breaks out : I believe various parts of the media have mounted a "Get Adele out" campaign which has led to possibly large votes for Adele over the other 3 nominations. Are we all sheep and do we not have a choice to make our own decisions? Personally when I vote for someone to be evicted as I do every week (Jade this week), I always make up my own mind who should go, from watching BB on E4/C4 as I see stuff happen. I am NOT led up the garden path by the Media Hype.
Please come clean and post if you have been swayed this week from voting for Adele instead of Jade. It will be interesting to see how many DS posters have been affected. Please also put your reason regarding why you switched evictees.
Also, you should consider your own freedom of choice in the future.

l have voted for Adele instead of Jade who l origially could'nt wait to vote out. NOT because of the media but because of her behaviour since last eviction night. She has blown hot & cold with Jade ever since and her bitching of Jonny is about as two faced as anyone can get.

This week I voted for Adele instead of my original choice of Adele.

Those with inside access to betting patterns on Betfair will be able to confirm this for you.

Spud, you do sound just a teensy bit pompous, you know.

I voted for Adele..because she has zero entertainment value for me and is hampering the other peoples performances..i'm watching a show you know.

Pompous, why?? I am just stating my view. Is that not what these discussion groups are about? My view is that many people have had their views changed by the Media Hype and just "go with the flow". Adele is playing a game but in my view is better at it than Jade. So Jade is the "Weakest Link" Goodbye....

Yep I'm voting for Adele - coz I wanna see that smug smile wiped off her face!! That girl is a two-faced, back -staber. Jade is just very young, very immature and very inexperienced. And I'd also want to "protect" her for another week, from the ineviatable booing she's gonna get when she does go.

ADELE OUT!!

A bit condescending of you to assume we are all swayed by the media in our choice of votes. I freely admit I was eager to vote Jade out as soon as she came up for nomination. However I didn't anticipate Adelle and Jade being up at the same time and Jade is sure to get nominated again, not so certain with Adelle, so I will vote tactically to get Adelle out. I think Adelle's behaviour has been as bad, if not worse than, Jade's. The difference is Adelle is more subtle and sly about her bitching. I base my opinions on what I see NOT what I am told to think.

Yep, I've voted for adele also, the nasty multifaced b***h's face will be a picture if she is voted out

I voted for Adele, I don't want Jade to win, but I've held the decision all along that I will vote Adele out no matter who she was up against. My vote has nothing to do with the media... I also think keeping Jade in for another week makes for more entertainment value, she is naive and I don't believe she is playing the game tactically, she is just easily led.

Adele out for me,her sly back stabbing days are numbered thank the lord......

I've voted for Adele as well

I was in two minds this week who to go for, however after watching her torrent of abuse about Jonny, as soon as he turned his back on her, that swung it for me

I dont want Jade to win, keep that for Kate, however Jade is at least entertaining

Adele is just vicious

Hell, even Sophie said she would rather Adele went than Jade

this week I have voted for Jade. Adele is playing a much better game and I hope she stays, though I admit it is looking unlikely.
I find it odd that the very people who were calling for Jades` head a couple of weeks ago, have now decided that she is young and immature. I disagree. I think she is sly and cunning. Yes, she`s stupid in lots of ways,(and she plays on it), but make no mistake about it, she`s there to win.

The media and C4/BB did a good job in changing the views.

Just look at today's C4's BB site news update. In the page where Alex/Adele were talking they described it as "bitching session", but at the same time in the page where PJ/Kate/Johnnny were talking they described it as a "conversation", even though when reading both pages you will notice that they were all talking about the same thing. So it's either both "bitching" or both "conversation".

Just before last week, most people were determined to get Jade out, no matter who she was up against to.

Just before last week, we didn't hear anything about a get "Adele out before Jade" even though Adele was there playing the same game from the begining, how come people discovered this just from last week? Surely Adele didn't became bitchy just from last week!

Just before last week most people were saying that Jade is just acting up naieve and that she is not thick as she pretends to be.
How come now Jade now is being portrayed as naieve young girl and harmless.

What happened during the past week that changed all these views?

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if last nights episode of BB wasn't to act as a ‘wakeup call’ regarding Jade. She was certainly showing signs of reverting back to her former self.. It might just sway enough people to vote against her that either hadn’t bothered or had previously voted Adele.

I have also voted Adele. Not I hope because of the hype (of which there has been plenty) but because;

Jade is the most annoying person in the entire world and is therefore ‘entertainment’

Adele is devious and worst of all incredibly dull.

Most important……I want to see Alex after his second favourite bonding partner has abandoned him.

So, jade can wait until next week, I want to see Alex alone in the garden, perhaps rocking slightly and of course in the rain.

It is only a game, isn’t it?

I was gonna vote for Jade, but two faced Adele gets my 2 quids worth of votes this week..reasons..she called Jonny a w***er and accused him of being a sly f***er, I think she should look in the mirror to see who is the sly f***er!..the way she talks about kicking, punching and generally being cruel to the chickens is p***ing me off, I wish they would go & peck her to death in her sleep the cruel bitch!! She is just a sly 2 faced cow and her & Alex are trying to turn Jade into one too..and nearly succeeding!
Adele is also very boring, at least Jade has got some entertainment value!

Some interesting discussion. However, not one person has been honest and admitted that they have changed their eviction nomination because of the hype everywhere to get Adele out. (Not that I thought many would.) Maybe it's just me then that thinks this is an influencing factor this week. Oh well, let's just hope Jade does get nominated again and we get a chance to boot her out.

Doodad: Is it? I think its a good demonstration of how authority can manipulate the public mood very quickly. which has much wider implications, of course.

Tess,

I’m not so sure. I think if I only had the incredibly biased channel 4 coverage to go on then yes I’m sure I would be doing exactly as they want, who knows, perhaps even with the internet, e4 et. al. I still am!

It’s a worry.

If you had been reading these forums for the last few weeks you would know that Adele has been despised from many quarters for a long time now. The reason there is so much HYPE this week, is she has been put up for eviction FOR THE FIRST TIME. The truth is, the voting public didn't think they\d get a shot at her for a while because of how she has being playing the game. Even now, only 2 HMs have nominated her, so it is potentially a narrow window of opportunity. I don't support Adele or Jade - I would like to see both evicted to ensure they don't get anywhere near the finishing line. The fact that ADELE took my vote this week was for the previously mentioned reason - I might not get the chance again. With SIX nominations this week, Jade is almost a dead cert to get put up for eviction again. Adele is not so definite - so she has to go now.
It didn't take MEDIA HYPE as you put it for me to work that one out - in fact most folks I've talked to about this feel the same. Maybe we're not such 'sheep' after all? Maybe we're a tactical audience?

You got it wrong way round spud. The sea change against Adele was led by us on the internet. The media (sun etc) were the last to follow.

Adele has only her own actions to blame. She started by stabbing Alison and Lee in the back, and finally her destruction of the rebellion shot her way up the top of my hitlist. Get the scab out now!

Doodad: Yes it is a very big worry. If the authorities can so quickly and effectively change and mobilise public opinion on something so apparently trivial as bb think of the many more important issues/events that could, and do, receive the same treatment. Do we really want to be told what to think? Glad you are thinking though : ).

Racism has played a major role in encouraging people to vote for Adele. The level of racism amongst young people in this country is despicable.

[size=10]EVERYONE VOTE ADELE THE TWO FACED COW OUT NOW!!!

JADE WILL BE NOMINATED AGAIN..NO DOUBT ABOUT IT..ADELE'S NOMINATION HAS THE HOUSEMATES SHOCKED FOR THE MOMENT..GET RID OF THE WITCH QUEEEN WHILST YOU CAN!!

AND NO SPUD..I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HER .NOT BECAUSE OF ANYONE ELSES OPINION BUT E4'S LIVE VIEWING[/size]

Just my 2 cents on the matter.

I am an avid reader of these forums having joined well before BB3 started (unlike many) and I take your point regarding a window of opportunity to evict Adele. However I would also add that it is only Jade's second and recent nomination and going by the huge level of threads regarding her in a negative way I would be surprised if she wasn't evicted. The media whether internet based or otherwise is a very strong medium which can sway a lot of people. Maybe the "sheep" angle was a bit strong lol
