Everything they said or did was analysed and criticised. I use the term working class because that's what their backgrounds are, in the terms we use here.
I think she's a heck of a lot more mature. But yes, she got stung. I'm sure she agreed to go into the house again thinking that it would be a walk in the park, and she'd just bank the cheque after a few weeks and step straight onto the magazine circuit again for the next few weeks/months. I've never liked Carole Malone's newspaper column. She's a bitter old shrew who just slates people week in, week out, often for no apparent reason. But she'd always slated Jade too, until she came out of the house. Then she completely changed her opinion. If Jade was really as bad as she's painted, how did she manage to win her round? Clearly she saw enough to convince her that her previous impression had been wrong.

This may be true of Jackiey but certainly not Jade. I recall both Dirk and Shilpa using the word 'smart' to describe Jade - misguided as that may seem.
I don 't think Jade is any more mature than in 2002. Would a mature girl go into a blind rage over Oxo cubes? I think Jade now has an ego and it's her ego coupled with a lack of brain cells that has got her into this mess.
