To me Jade has come across as possibly the most annoying character in three years of Big Brother. I just find it difficult to understand why she was picked in the first place. But that doesn't mean that I don't have sympathy for her, I do.

Indeed it's hard not to have sympathy for someone that is on the end of the nasty and vicious 'Get the Pig Out' campaign spearheaded by Dominic Mohan in The Sun.

I do think that the Big Brother producers have become worried about the reception that Jade shall receive when she is evicted. In the webchat with the producers someone said that this was 'past funny now' and I think that the producers took this on board.

The result of this was the psychologist giving Jade advice that has improved her behaviour and public image slightly, and also her being edited so that she is presented in a more favourable light. All this, I think, is a result of these concerns for Jade and not a wish to keep her in the house for the entertainment value and ratings of the programme. The people who make Big Brother don't want the programme to be seen as something that ruins lives.

Jade will probably be booed when she comes out but I really hope not. Adele and Lynne being booed made very uncomfortable viewing for me. The booers in the crowd should be made to understand that the combination of hundreds of seemingly innocent boos makes for something quite awful. If PJ can be applauded so can Jade or Tim or any of the others. Say no to booing.

If it's any consolation to Jade though, she will probably earn more than any of this year's Big Brother housemates when she sells her story to the press. Even though she is unpopular with the public, she is the most recognisable character of this year's show like Nick was the most recognisable face of the first series.
