So I had to watch Big Brother on friday just to see how they dealt with Jade when she was evicted to a wall of silence.
I feel a little sorry for her, because I don’t think that she’s racist, she’s just dim and a bully who would appear to believe her own hype (25th most influencial person in the world? What world would that be Jade?), and who has been villified in the papers to generate a moral panic and sell more copies.
It will certainly be interesting to see how she gets out of this one, when she came out of the house the first time, she was just dim, and us Brits like dim. This time she comes out a bully, and I don’t think that the public be quite so accepting of her in that capacity.
I wonder if the other two girls will get such a hard time? I’m sure that there will be a financial impact on both of them, as companies disassociate themselves in anticipation of a potential backlash. It seems to me from what limited footage I’ve seen, that a pack mentality developed in the alleged bullying, much like that which occured during the Stanford Prison Experiment, a disastrous but highly enlightening study that predates Big Brother, but resulted in such bullying that it had to be abandoned. Check out my post on the subject here.
