OK so there’s no live crowd for tonight’s eviction.
The reasons given by C4 are fears for Jade’s security following her inevitable exit. I ponder this circumstance, wondering whether C4 would have extended this humanitarian approach to any other contestant. The reason I’m curious is that Jade’s management agency is the same one that looks after the interests of Davina McCall, Dermot O’Leary, Russell Brand & Chantelle Houghton.
It’s a no-brainer to suggest that Jade will be briefed by the producers concerning the shitstorm she has caused before doing her post-eviction interview. Since McCall will presumably conduct the interview as per usual, don’t expect too many questions of the kind Jeremy Paxman might ask.
The BBC is reporting that the post-eviction news conference has also been cancelled. it does not say If this also applies to the interview by Davina McCall.
Well that’s her gone then. The lack of a crowd was very noticible when the eviction was called out. Jade noticed there is no crowd. Usually Davina has to shout over the boos. She’s just said that she now knows it’s bad.
You don’t know the half of it you silly mare.
Eviction and interviewin an hour. A very long hour for Jade.
I kinda hope Jade gets left alone after this. I admit I was angry about this whole situation earlier, but I hope there isn’t a witch-hunt. A bout of the usual national soul-searching is probably under way, and Jade (and the other two) will need some time for reflection.
Ach, who am I kidding. I wonder what the current highest bid for the “MY CBB HELL” story is?
I thought it was contestant Danielle who was supposed to be the racist? It was she who said of the Indian contestant “I wish she would fuck off back home” or something. That appears to be the only really eyebrow-raising thing anybody has said. Jade Goody imagining that an Indian woman’s surname might be something sounding like “poppadom” is more likely her being ignorant and inarticulate. I think she would react in a similar way to unfamiliar sounding American or French surnames.
I’m slightly puzzled by the hysteria over this incident. It is reminiscent of Nipplegate. Maybe it’s just a slow week for news.
I’ve not been following BB but I saw Shilpa’s CV in one of the papers. Stunningly beautiful, a black belt in a martial art, actress, millionairess, speaks umpteen languages, A-list star back home, highly intelligent. So why’s she over here demeaning herself with a load of D-list celebrities?
Jo said to Jade and Danielle during a conversation about Shilpa touching food with her hands that that’s the reason Indians are so thin. They always have diarrhoea because of eating with their hands.
That and the thing you are talking about has all been wrapped up and placed on Jade. She’s a stupid bitch who actied the gobshite with two other idiots and bullied another. The other two are more guilty than her for any racial aspect. Jade will get it all though. The press has forgotten about the actual facts already. Now they have another story to get. The one that gets her story will be sympathetic but the rest who will lose the bid will tear her apart I reckon.
Someone said on another forum that although Bollywood gets lots of bums on seats , it doesn’t offer the same kind of financial reward that might well accrue to someone of lesser talent in the Western movie market. I have no idea whether this is true or not.
Maybe she’s trying to crack the British market? I suppose in terms of the big films the U.S. is the place to go, but maybe she picked here because there’s a more sizable Asian population who may already know her.
All the Bollywood talking heads on TV and radio are saying she’s a B-List in India. Was bigger 5-10 years ago.
The answer to your question though IMO is in wanting to up her profile in the UK. Hoping that when someone is casting a Asian women in a big buget TV/Movie production someone says, hey what about that great looking Shilpa chick from CBB?
May be true but she’s been in enough of them for it to matter. She a millionairess, and that’s in India not LA, her family is also very rich.
She’s looking for more. Fame on a global level. I’m sure in her perfect world plan in to use the exposure in the UK to get to the US.
