Celebrity Big Brother Day Nine Update: Jodie's out

I never thought I'd say it, but I was sorry to see Jodie leave when the public voted her out of the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight.

It's not that she contributed anything worthwhile to the house -- in fact, she was positively egocentric for most of the time -- but she simply didn't deserve the incessant bullying treatment she received from the group over relatively trivial matters. Watching her fight back tears as BB presenter Davina McCall interviewed her post-eviction was a little bit saddening. Personally speaking, I wanted Pete to go; he's honest to the point of brutality, and I'm certain he partly influenced Jodie's exit from the house.

Apart from Jodie's summary dismissal, the housemates spent much of today preparing for the eviction night, with George Galloway rising from his bed early -- as though he was fighting an election campaign -- and Jodie questioning Preston on the size of his manhood in the pool, but they both promised a passionate embrace if they jointly reached the final week. Alas, we won't get to see such a tryst.

Never mind, Channel Four confirmed that Jimmy Savile will arrive in the house over the weekend when he appeared on-stage with Davina and Jodie during the closing credits. Honestly folks, the man looked like he had escaped from a high security rest home, so things should brighten up by the time we update tomorrow night.
