Racism, Goody? Make that cannibalism…
Alright. I used to like her a bit. She was alright in the Big Brother 3 series where she actually belonged; she seemed like a harmless enough girl with no brains and no agenda. I have even defended the troll against the beautiful Boofter before. Yet I had my head in shame.
I must admit to have avoided Celebrity Big Brother. I tend to watch the initial episode where they enter the house and just say ‘meh’. This year, the publicity has been such that one has grasped the concept without seeing it. Jade Goody has ripped any sympathy she drew before by becoming, or being, an egomaniacal t*at whose only concern was self-promotion (on whatever level).
That someone who was bullied becomes a bully does not make a justifiable end. Goody has left me down, the nation down, and most of all, the nation down (purely for Jenkins benefit).
The stuff she has said to the f*cking fabulously gorgeous Asian hottie that is Shilpa Shetty is beyond provincial. Shilpa, from what I have seen, has handled herself with grace and dignity.
The nastiest thing I can say to Jade is that you’re done now. You’ll no longer have even the sympathy you had before — career over.
Ciao!

A rare update.
OK, so I have decided to post something on my blog because I have had a few too many half-shandys (or bottles of wine, however you wanna phrase it). I am currently Googling a lot of people, particularly those related to the recent Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother (I watched the former obsessively, while the latter didn’t keep my interest). Apparently Kemal and Kinga from Big Brother 6 are now an item. Pur-f*cking-lease. There’s nothing less flattering than blatent hypocracy. I am not even sure which of the bizarre pairing is worse — Kemal for being so overtly tedious and attention-seeking (let’s face it, it didn’t really work anyway), or Kinga (it’s not like she didn’t watch Big Brother 6.
Probably just cynicism — ya, k.
Other Big Brother stuff I have seen: Mary the ‘Witch’ is apparently homeless, though this claim is unsubstantiated. I thought she seemed rather bourgeois (if Irish), personally?
Lesley is also apparently desperately craving attention. Bless her, she did well getting all that hatred with so little substance.
Happily it appears Sam is off the rails. As if she was ever going to get any positive media response with her personality. She wasn’t even cuttingly bitchy, just a tedious fuckwit… And no, ‘Nuts’ magazine does not constitute a positive media response…
So, anyway, I am looking forward to Big Brother 7, which is apparently starting on the last weekend of May. Apparently some twins, a Tourettsian contestant, and a wheelchair-bound contestant are involved.
Glorious.
