The cynic in me believes that Jade was conveniently removed last week, to weaken Brian and make that argument more likely to happen

I keep saying it, but everything around these events just feels too scripted for me. One unnatural reaction here or there I could perhaps just about believe, but there have been a string of them. I'm also bewildered how people are attaching blame to Brian or Helen when the whole thing was instigated by the producers. They constantly created the conditions of conflict, knowing intimately the behaviour patterns of Brian, Helen and Marc. They could easily have created conditions to avoid conflict, they didn't, who else can possibly be held accountable.
