After tonight's eviction, I have done an about-face. I have been saying for the past few weeks that I hope Jade will get booed when she leaves to make her "wake-up to herself".

After seeing Adele's face tonight, when she heard the crowd, I felt very sorry for her. I couldn't have taken it as gracefully as she did. She even gave her fellow HM's the thumbs-up to show the crowd reaction as good.

I hope nobody else gets booed like that, not even Jade. I guess I forgot that the HM's are real people with real feelings, and I'm sorry.

Has anyone else changed their mind about the booing after tonight?

Ali
feeling very guilty

I think we are psyic, I posted a similar thread, about my changeof heart,I agree the housmates are people and its only a tv reality show...

I think people are getting carried away with it, and its all gettiing to emotional and extreme by too far...

Poor Adele, I liked her. I dont want Jade to get a reacton lke that, and the Suns campaign, is sick...please dump the Miss Piggy tag, and call her Jade....I will from now on, I have been a culprit but have seen the light after tonight...

I have, after seeing the way they boo'ed Adele tonight, I dont want Jade to get boo'ed when shes evicted.

Adele is a strong girl and I respect her for that.

Jade is not as strong as Adele and I dont want to see her face when the crowd boo her.

Well Done Adele

The cowardly actions of the mob sahme us all - It's bought BB into disrepute - Even Davina seemed emabarrased to be involved in it.

I never used the derogatory language myself. But as I have said before, I think the producers are the ones responsible for fostering the negative feelings surrounding this years BB, so I don't think you need to shoulder all the guilt yourself. What with Davina being booed as well, I hope at last they see the "get tough BB" policy has backfired messily.

Now that people have had a chance to express themselves, and what with the wall coming down, and other signs of changes, I might expect there will be less "boos" to vent at subsequent evictions anyway.

Has anyone else changed their mind about the boos?

Not at all, she seemed quite happy to string Jade along and let her be evicted to receive a similar reception.
She admitted using Jade to fire her bullets for her, that's the sign a coward in my book.
She also contradicted herself when questioned by Davina. One minute she was "just being honest" the next she said wasn't being herself in the house? So.. she's a dishonest person by her own admission? She even continued to lie once out of the house. Telling Jades mum what a lovely girl Jade was just prior to being shown what she said about Jade.
Far from 'making' the program as some seem to beleive I think she has marred it. A very poisonous and unpleasant person who got what she deserved.

All of the HMs that act like bastards will be, and deserve to be, booed.

Be nice to others if you want to be treated nicely by the public - not difficult really.

i felt sorry for adele too. she only did what millions of people are guilty of every day. we all slag off our mates/colleagues from time to time. nobody is perfect. she was a little naive thinking she could get away with it. i'm glad she went though. i don't think jade could cope with that reaction. if she came out and had to face the booing, the negative media hype etc she would crumble. she's very young and far too immature and emotionally unstable to deal with that. the first big brother suicide? melodramatic but possible.

I was so happy when Davina called out Adele's name on Friday night but when my elation (yes I really am that sad) had passed I was worried about the booing - after all if Lee and Lynne could get booed for relatively minor crimes then she was sure to.

When she opened the door to meet her 'fans' I felt gutted for her the boos were horrendous and the look on her face, trying to bravely smile whilst telling the other housemates it was okay. Fair enough she was a bitch whilst in the house and her harsh and unfair treatment of some (Jonny) was uncalled for but come on people its just a GAME. Why not celebrate the fact that she is out if you disliked her so much?

I think its pathetic that some of the eviction shows have been marred this year by so called fans. I'm now praying t - Will Smith - Born To Reign - Born To Reign.mp3

Well I was....and then I read the article about how Jade mercilessly bullied a girl at school and the girl concerned said that what Jade had done to Sophie was the same as what happened to her...Jade had repeatedly told lies suggesting that the girl had siad nasty things which in fact she hadn't...

It looks like "What goes round comes around..."

I have experienced snide comments and lies behind my back, once at Junior school and once at a place of work and it isn't nice - especially when you KNOW you've done nothing wrong and the person causing the trouble is awful. I was too shy to ever confront the people concerned...a bit like Sophie, so I identified with the way she withdrew.

As for Adele....well she said she dislike Jonny for being "nice to people"! Whay sort of a saddo comment is that? Are we all suposed to go around insulting and hating each other? Just because Jonny has the ability to state his nomiation reasons without going OTT and slagging someone off totally does not write him off as a person! Seems like maybe Adele has got the type of response she expects...If we were all nice to her she wouldn't like it!!!!

Stop Big Brother for a few years may be the only solution. I don't want it to happen though. Anther solution could be stop putting stupid people in the house, and stop trying to be money grabbibg bastards by promoting Big Bro so much to get money that you attract all kinds of people.

very true. What you give out you get back with interest. I felt really sorry for Adele, but there was a price to pay for her duplicity and misjudgement. Jade will pay the price too, but in a way Jade will be as much laughed at, even after the programmme, and that will be harder to bare, but she is reaping her rewards too. That's how it is.

NOPE dont feel sorry for her at all....well did have mixed feelings when she was being booed for so long.....but then she lied about having feelings for Jade and all her other little lies to try and make us feel sorry for her NO NO NO I dont.....except when she nearly cryed about Alex or is that another LIE.....oh I'm just glad shes gone....

Nope.

What odds would you give me for Jade to poor a pint over Mohan's head at the BB aftershow party?

I am also not an Adele fan, but I felt desperately sorry for her when she was evicted on Friday. She tried to put a brave face on it was was visibly disturbed by it all.

These people have entertained us for a number of weeks, and ok, I know the argument that they knew what they were getting into, but we are all guilty of the same thing at some point in our lives, the only difference being that Adele did it on National telly.

If I remember rightly they even booed Davina at some point. I do not want to see Jade (or anybody) get that treatment again. I found it very disturbing.:'(

100% agree with you

The Walk of Shame seemed to last forever as well!

Sorry, but Adele got what she deserved.

The fact that she didnt care and protested her innocence in the studio was more annoying than the booing.

She was horrible, manipulative and mean, and saying she didnt like people who were friendly to everyone ie jonny. wtf?

jonny is not great, but hes a step above adele in terms of being a human being.

Hello..... Lets all wake up and smell the coffee...... Can you not see what is happening here? We are all being manipulated by something far more powerful and "deceitful" than Adel. Channel four. The motive behind the production of BB is viewing figures and profit. Oh how they must be laughing all the way to the bank. We get the contestents chosen by big brother and then through selective editing and the conspiracy of G. Norton and Rise (amongst others) we get the evictions favoured by C4. This has always been the case but this year it is soooooo blatent. C4 wanted something new this year and went for the conflict. it got out of hand re jade and so they had to put in place a contingency plan. A week of selective editing on C4 and we get Adel evicted. She coped with the booing as she is (whatever else she might be) a strong intelligent woman. Whether you love her or hate her she was only a contestent in a game show which this year set out to place people against each other. Adel's crime was that she played the game.

jade on the other hand should never have been placed in the house in the first place ......

if you want to ask questions about the booing.....just look back in History . Hitler and the german masses. The Hutus and Tutsis in Rawanda. ..... etc etc .... The human condition is very fragile and it is extremely easy to stir up baying mobs even in a game show.

I'll reserve judgement on that until I see Jonny handle nomination and eviction as well as Adele did! And let's not forget that he is about 6 years older!

Instead I have watched two hours' of live BB this weekend, and both times saw Jade and Jonny discussing voting Alex and Tim out -behind their backs of course.

This at least made a change from hearing him trying to lay emotional blackmail on the HMs for inconveniencing his parents by nominating him, or just sitting around looking like a wet weekend, asking why people don't like him.
I'm no psychologist, but I would describe his behaviour as passive-agressive.

Adele didn't like him because she felt his "friendliness" to everyone wasn't real.
I think she was right.

Thanks Gabber, its nice to get a big gobbet of common sense for a change. I wonder how C4 will re-engineer things foe next year. Apart from sacking the production staff of course! I think if I was them I would consider puttung 18 people in the house and then letting the public vote out six of them. This would give a better potential mix of housemates, alleviate the possible shame of being the first out AND bring in yet more revenue for Endemol/C4. I would also make the first fortnight easier and more fun, plenty of food, lots of fun tasks etc. So we could get a better 'feel' for the HM's. Anybody else got some ideas?

I think Tim is the only one left who should be booed when he comes out, for his pompous attitude and racist jokes.

The intensity, repetition, & covertness of the unpleasant, nasty, foulmouthed comments that Adele Roberts spat forth were sufficient to earn the vocal condemnation of the BB audience that represented us at her exit.

Her manipulation of the least informed housemates - as stalking horse devices for spreading her poisonous barbs to influence group nominations - and willingness to abandon them when purpose served were sufficient to earn condemnation in this forum.

Her exploitation of her fellow housemates' trust & goodwill was sufficient to earn the condemnation of over 2 million uk citizens; because many of them will have personal experience of living or working with someone similarly abusive.

Games are often used as a preparation/tests/replays of realworld challenges - eg learning how to interact socially, work as a team, or exercise leadership. They can be won, or participated in, by any number of methodologies. Frequently these methodologies are identical to those utilized in life. In essence, there's a high probability that Adele behaved in the House as she would if you met her in reality.

Big Brother regulations do not mandate deceptive, devious, calculating behaviour. That is left to the free, conscious choice of individual housemates. Roberts chose freely, and was condemned freely.

But isn't that the point of the game.

And that's exactly what it is - A GAME - are some people forgetting that.
