The majority wanted to get rid of Jodie and that's just the way it is.

Whilst Jodie was in the house most of the talk was about her getting bullied which I found tedious after a while, there is only so much you can take of that.I know she has no control over it but while she was in there that is what people talked about. She may have gone in there with the intention to have fun but in reality it did not turn out like that and all we were left with was the talk about bullying. I'm not saying that she went in there to be bullied to get sympathy at all, I'm sure she did want to have fun what happend afterwards whilst she was in there is what I formed my opinions on.
What about the people who talk non-stop about Chantelle's reliationship with Preston? What about the people who talk non stop about Barrymore's mental problems? What about the people who talk non stop about other issues in the house?

The bullying was, and still is, an important issue. Don't you think? At the start I tried to shrug it off as badly given advice but on day 6 or 7 during the science task when Galloway called her "a wicked person", thats when the penny dropped. What he and the others told her was vitriolic and uncalled for, and to give her credit Jodie handled it excellently and acted honourably, and that's when I changed my opinion on her. And George totally created that with his attack. And whether mistakingly or deliberately, he told the housemates that Jodie mouthed to Chantelle to tell Barrymore to "**** off" when in fact she didn't and which only raised tempers further.

You joined the anti-Jodie club on the 10th January (I loathe these childish anti-clubs, they really are pathetic) which says to me you disliked Jodie from the start. Maybe you're fed up with reading about the girl in your newspaper. If thats the case then perhaps you should read a better newspaper.

And I consider myself a fan of entertainment. I judge every housemate on their individual merrits regardless of my perceptions of them fromw hat theyve done outside the house. I accept what I class as entertaining differs from everyone elses but I do think the louder, annoying hosuemate sproivide the most entertainment. But I can still chop and change my opinion of a housemate from one day to the next.

I don't know how anyone can dislike Jodie. Having criticisms about her attitude and behaviour is fine, but she's not a bad person and doesn't deserve this childish hate campaign projected towards her.
Some of the other issues develop, a lot of what I read on the bullying issue was as the same, it did my head in, the same with any issue that just has the same thing said over and over.What else is there to discuss about the 'bullying' issue?

As I have said before I formed my opinion on Jodie upon what I saw in the house, it had been 5/6 days into the show that I joined the anti club and by then I had enough of her. I have never actually read much about her in the newspaper to be honest, I only really read a few things in detail and that's usually the sports pages, If something does not interest me I don't read or watch it. I get most of my news from radio, t.v. and internet anyway.

I have had a broad range of favourite housemates in the past, I take them for what they are and choose which one's I like and that entertain me too. It's a matter of taste really.

From what I have seen I dislike certain trait's in Jodie's personality and have my own views like you have your's. We will have to agree to disagree on this one.
