As you say it got very nasty indeed. They didn't even bother to try to make valid counterarguments, instead resorting to hurling plain abuse against anyone who was hurting the Jonny cause by exposing him for the calculating fake etc that he was.
As I recall, it had been widely rumoured that Jonny had a well-organised family-and-friends team to flood all web BB discussion forums with positive comments, stamp out all negative opinions, to control public perception of him favourably, and thus create a 'winning bandwagon'.
I believe that was true, and the sudden evaporation of all those numerous nasty Jonny supporters here after the show ended would seem to support that rumour....campaign team wound up, presumably.
I have little doubt that Jonny, desperate that he was to win, had his PR machine all worked out before he entered the house.... and the last-ditch revelation of the shamelessly cynical 'NYFD donation pledge' was another evidence to indicate that.
(ps. Good to see you back here, johnno - enjoyed reading your contributions last year)
