I was hoping that now Adele was out of the house and no longer a participant in the game show people would be treating her normally again. No such luck.

I thought she was honest and forthright in the interview and, I think, a lot of the contempt people project about her has a lot to do with the fact she does not like one of the housemates they like: Jonny.

That is the starting point for all of this: the fact that Adele was irritated in the house by Jonny.

But consider this. We are not living in the house 24 hours a day, so we do not know what Jonny is really like and we do not experience vicariously what Adele experiences.

There's a lot of criticism of Adele saying she was two-faced but, in my opinion, it is overstated.

If Adele had told Jonny what she really thought about him it could have caused arguments and increased tension within the house.

They are living in an intense environment in there, it's also a small living space, made all the smaller by the divide, and housemates can't avoid each other. If an argument happens, the two parties still wake up the next morning living in the same house together.

Adele's stoicism and the fact that she tried to be nice to people, while possibly only tolerating them, would be seen as a good character trait to have in the outside world.
