It was mostly uncalled for, though Jodie didn't help herself a lot of the time, but it was also, as was so typical of BB at the time, a fascinating look into the human psyche and in particular, the hypocrisy of the rest of the celebs with regard to public image and media perception.
Barrymore in particular should have known at the time how damaging the press can be to someone's career and Pete had done very little but battle the press every day of his life up to that point and yet there they were having never met Jodie before completely hounding her because of how they had already perceived her. A smarter person than Jodie could have ended them in a few short moments by pointing out their own contradictions but she let it all get on top of her and her eviction was pretty much a mercy killing by the public.
