Celebrity Big Brother UK Update: Jade evicted

by Martin Conaghan, posted Jan 19th 2007 7:05PM

Jade goody and Shilpa ShettyFormer 'civilian' Big Brother contestant Jade Goody went head-to-head against Bollywood actress Shilpa during the public eviction vote tonight on Celebrity Big Brother, and was given her marching orders to leave the house.

Following on from a week of insane news coverage over an alleged 'racism' and bullying row in the Big Brother house, Jade made her exit from the show with no eviction night crowd present, and faced some harsh truths during her interview with the show's host Davina McCall.

There's really no way to paint Jade's behaviour in the house in recent days -- other than downright nasty at times -- but I'd hesitate to call her a racist. Stupid, maybe, but certainly not a racist.

Either way, her life is going to be a whole lot different in the coming days, weeks and months -- not least of all from the multitudes of people living in the UK who probably haven't even watched the show, but who have blindly followed the tabloid headlines and over-stated news coverage, and who will now inevitably view her as a bully and a bigot.

FED UP LISTENING ABOUT JADE. IN MY OPINION, WHICH IM ENTITLED TO, DOPEY DANIELLE & JERMAINE JACKSON IS MORE OF A RACIST THAT WHAT JADE IS. JADE IS A COMPLETE PAIN IN THE ARSE & VERY HARD TO LOOK AT & LISTEN TO & REMINDS ME OF ZIPPY (RAINBOW) BUT HER COMMENTS TO THE "PRINCESS" WERENT AS BAD AS WHAT THE OTHER 2 HALF BREEDS CAME OUT WITH...

Speaking about eating with fingers and where they have been before. Do we know where jade's mouth has been before. I am sure it has been in places where she might consider pleasurable and that might never have been washed or cleaned. And after all if you can put a dead meat (imagine how much shit that meat would have carried when it was alive)in your mouth with no hesitation, I can't see the fuss about using fingers in food.

Big Brother giveth, and Big Brother taketh away. And so goes Jade's fame. I don't think she's a racist in the harshest sense, but she certainly is a pompous jerk. And thus there goes her perfume and advertising contracts. I don't weep for her.

Kevin, I do have to say, it would have been hard to escape this news. This was reported on freaking NPR this evening.

82 percent of the viewers wanted her out....but my question Martin, is, do you think Jack, Jo, Scouse Danielle are going to stop bullying and calling her names behind her back?

I, for one, am not so sure....
