"Being honest" in the Big Brother house, and thus by implication in life, seems to be acclaimed by some as the ultimate virtue. Sandy and Jade have been lauded by many as the most "honest" contestants.
I don't see anything to praise here. Sandy's "honesty" was actually a form of cruelty and manipulation. Jade's "honesty" was merely the result of hopeless inconsistency of thought and complete lack of self-control when it came to expressing these thoughts.
I would not like to associate closely with anyone who practiced "honesty" a la Sandy or Jade.
