Does anyone else now feel even worse about her reception following eviction than they did on the night ?
She handled it fairly well given that for her it was unexpected but I really felt for her that night. She did nothing in my eyes to warrant such vilification save appear in a game show. She was two-faced and bitchy but then aren't we all to greater or lesser degrees ?
At least Tim had time to prepare himself for being a pantomime villain and was almost convincing in his response to the mob.
Thank God it's over and we won't have to watch such an unedifying spectacle as Adele's eviction until next year when someone else is picked up by the media as being public enemy no. 1.
I'm now extremely relieved that Jade escaped eviction during those middle weeks. It would have been terrible to watch. Ch4 did a very convincing damage-limitation exercise and thus saved us the truly distressing spectacle of watching someone being ripped to shreds purely for being on a tv show. She annoyed the hell out of me but I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even Jade.

nope Adele deserved exactly what she got!

I don't feel bad about anything as I was voting Jade out that week.

The chattering classes who demanded Adele's head on stick that week are probably 'regretting' it, they'll be chatting "oh I was so wrong about her" or some other bollocks I should imagine.

I didn't think she deserved to get boo's on the final night, for god sake it was supposed to be a celebration for the ending of the show. I hope all the HM's can enjoy themselves and lets hope the public realise it was only a game show and these are people with feelings, the show is over so they shouldn't be booed or cursed any more.

I so much agree with you. To be fair those people at the evictions are clearly encouraged to "participate" or " interact" or whatever the correct phrase is. More even than the contestants they prove that there are people who will do absolutely ANYTHING to get on TV. C4 of course are delighted since it is apparently their hope that they can move Big Brother along the road towards a cross between Jerry Springer and WWF. I don't believe all those people that boo really mean any great harm to the contestant but the louder they are the more chance to get their face or their banner on TV. Its not the last night of the Proms but the principle is much the same. There is one serious problem with all this hype, hysteria, and over emotional hoop la and that is that someone believes it is REAL.

For me the real problem is that it happens to real people with feelings, families and friends.

Yes. Basically Adele was doing the job she was supposed to do. All the contestants were supposed to 'play a game' and be two faced. They were not in the house for some kind of therapy, they were in there to entertain us and earn £70,000.

"For me the real problem is that it happens to real people with feelings, families and friends."

Exactly. Kate .That was my point.

Yes, it was hardly fair on her. She has carried the can or to quote Jade been the "escapegoat". I really hate that sort of mob mentality. It is bad enough C4/Endemol using the HMs this year with their biased reporting - all designed to make money. It is horrible that the media and GBP have joined in.

I know they went into the House voluntarily but I don't think they could have foreseen this sort of hostility. Why should they, at the end of the day it is a game and some sort of perspective needs to be kept. I know we are all passionate about our chosen HMs but I don't think we need to villify, to such a great degree, the ones we didn't like. I thought the days of watching "hangings" and such like were over. But, sometimes, you wonder if we have really progressed that much at all. Mob mentality is truly frightening.


(Lots of big grins - lets all cheer up - we have all had fun!)

Maybe Adele wasn't aware that she was being recorded.

She was fully aware of what she was doing, and therefore must have realised that she might get a bad reaction.

You can't ask the crowd to applaud and cheer and not expect them to boo if they don't like the actions of some people, it's all part of the game, whether it's right or wrong.

The public reaction to Adele was vicious, there's no other word for it. I don't feel personally responsible for it because I hated it at the time. It was the first and I hope last time I have ever cried at a bb eviction. To see someone thrust out to face FOUR lots of fans without any proper preparation was heartbreaking (made worst by the fact that she took it with so much strength and dignity). So what were Adele's supposed crimes?? The first was no crime at all, she was simply scapegoated to appease the mob's frustrated anger agianst Jade. The second: she was a skilled game player and if allowed to stay would have threatened to undermine the jonny/kate cohort (as well as frustrate some bets). Third: she was too bright and different for most of the public who prefer their girls 'sweet' and pretty in a nice blonde, blue eyed, non-threatening 'english rose' fashion. But I reckon her biggest crime was that she dared to openly out Jonny as 'the ******'. For that piece of perceptiveness they seemed prepared to rip her to bits.

Here's wishing you every success Adele and the knowledge that many viewers really enjoyed watching you.

Great post Tess.
It's good to know I wasn't the only one who cried that night. Just in case anyone thinks I feel guilty, I didn't vote for Adele but I still felt terrible about the whole event.
I came very close to stopping watching BB3 because I was so disgusted by the crowd.
Then Alex came back on screen and I was totally re-hooked.
I need therapy.

I thought the booing at this years evictions was disgraceful and BB should be ashamed of themselves for encouraging it in their coverage, what made it worse for the housemates was that eviction nights in previous years were not quite the pantomime that this years show provided and they were probably not expecting boos at all, at least next years contestants will know not to take the boos too seriously as they have little or no substance and are just a result of negative editing towards the selected housemate or some petty media hate campaign the like of which Tim became a victim.

I can't imagine how Lynne must have been feeling with her reception after having done nothing to merit that kind of hostility, and as for Adele she just happened to be "chosen" as that week's evictee. All right so she said she thought Jonny was a w**ker and was nice to his face but if she had walked up to him Sandy-style and said "by the way Jonny I think your a w**ker" she would have only won herself some more boos.

I respect that she was brave enough to make her feelings known to somebody in the house and subsequently the public too instead of hiding behind a smiley face for the whole time and then going in the diary room to nominate the same person every week for "no apparent reason".

The WWF (World Wildlife Fund) crossed with Jerry Springer? I can't imagine that, really. Sorry, I know you meant WWE (who used to be World Wrestling Federation), but I actually agree with you anyway.

Don't agree I think Adele deserved to be booed when evicted and what was'nt liked was the slyness of Adeles tactics and Tim too, whilst Lynn was just very aggresive on the drink.

Both Mel and Liz were also booed for playing nasty too in previous BB and Nick would have been.

Surely BB is a pantomine in which the badies get booed sure the characters have families but good or bad the family's seem to enjoy it too.

I'm sure a lot of it was Pantomime booing, mine was - yes I was delighted when she was evicted because, rightly or wrongly, I thought she was the instigator of much of the nastiness in the house. She used Jade to fire her bullets for her and then dropped her like a red hot brick. I think she must have some of those traits in her character, it was not all playing the game.
That said I've no doubt there was some minor element there that did genuinely hate her and they are to be pitied for being so sad, but then I've read some pretty vitriolic crap on here too, people being labelled perverts and the like. So let those without sin cast the first stone.

Adelle's eviction booing was horrible and unacceptable.
What were her 'crimes' ? They were nothing compared to what Jonny and Kate and Jade got up to and yet they did not get booed. Unlike them Adelle was being honest.

The difference was that she dared expose Jonny as a 'wan..r', she saw him as a two faced fraud always playing up to the cameras and wasn't afraid to say so.(Spencer also saw this but made up his mind that it was not his job to expose Jonny, preferring an easy ride !)

For that Adelle deserves a medal for her honesty and bravery !

PS - those of us on these forums who have seen Jonny for what he is and have sought to argue our case democratically have also suffered abuse and vilification at the hands of those same people who booed Adelle - Jonnys mates. That is the sort of people they are.

Oh dear , I really should have left you on ignore, you just never give it up do you.

Mistake rectified.

One of the few sensible posts on this thread.

Neither Adele nor Tim have shown much in the way of humility when confronted with their bad behaviour. A simple apology from both would have meant their reception on Friday would have been more pleasant. Arrogant and venal - both of them.

No apology is warranted ! Why should they ?
Are you demanding apologies from any of the other HMs for alleged bad behaviour over the last 9 weeks?

I’m talking about ways they could have managed the crowd reaction. Tim’s booing could have been avoided if he’d held his hands up and admitted wrongdoing. Maybe he likes being booed.

The other HMs don’t have to worry about their reception as they weren’t booed on the night. If it were me in Adele or Tim’s position I’d want to minimize that unpleasant reaction in future and if a simple apology would do that, then I’d apologise.

( wormy little impostor )

People dont like those who make personal attacks on others, those who got booed where guilty of this, I dont think bad behaviour is the issue. The type of person tim and adelle are they wouldnt apologise anyway, they have no humility and are both arrogant, traits which people in general despise that is why they got and deserved booing!

Thanks for your reply
I hear what you are saying but still disagree. Apologies in advance if I have misunderstood you - but it seems to me that you are suggesting that they make insincere apologies.

I agree with everything you mentioned above. I didn't feel like watching BB3 after Adele's eviction. If there were two sets of fans out that night, fair enough but it was magnified having FOUR different fans. I believe she was honest and perceptive. Jonny later admitted that he was not being himself. After Adele left, the media was trying to make out that Alex and Kate were an item which was not true. I believe the Media and the Public couldn't bear the fact that Alex was having fun with Adele. So they broke that up. Adele has EVERYTHING going for her. She has intelligence and was able to hold intelligent conversations, she was fit and good-looking. She had intelligence and was able to hold intelligent conversations. Her downfall was (if you dare to admit it ) she isn't blond and blue-eyed. The fact that she was two-faced, all housemates showed that trait. Manipulative, no more so than Jade.
In the end Alex admitted preferring Adele to Kate.

Tim and Adele have got nothing to apologise for. Tim did the best thing possible and treated the crowd with the contempt they deserve.
