I've said many a time that Jodie is a fab lady and have stuck up for her when others have been rude about her size so I don't really like being labeled as a bitter, unaccepting of the result Jessie fan.”

Hear hear. Great post.

I made my congratulations on the night and this thread is almost like those who didn't support Jodie didn't want to wish her well.
I really wanted Sarah to go a lot further than she did and when she went out it was almost like a relief because I could be objective about the remaining candidates. Infact even when Sarah was in the competition, if you go into the Jodie appreciation thread you will see that I went in and said how great she was the night she sang "Send in the Clowns". I also recognised early on that she would be a good "traditional" Nancy and there are threads on here where I've defended her.
I'll go further and say that I've been more critical of Jessie than I ever have been of Jodie and if you had asked me two weeks ago I would have picked Jodie over Jessie. However, I still stand by what I said on the night. Jodie deserved to win the competition because she was the most consistent performer, BUT Jessie was by far the best girl on the night. Now if that makes me bitter then sobeit, but that's my objective opinion.
