Oh come on - most people don't seem to think they should have their lives ruined - they're just sick of their sympathy seeking.

Thanks to the way this was mishandled there is the possibility that Jade, Jo and Dannielle could be sent to prison for seven years. Not long enough, I hear you all yell.

I think most people are well aware that there is zero chance of that actually happening.

Sorry guys, but public executions were abolished years ago.

And a good job too. But it doesn't mean that we all have to decide that jade and co are wonderful people.

The only person who can legitimately make a complaint is Shilpa Shetty and so far I am not aware that she is wishing to press charges.

I wonder if she will change her mind if the latest allegations are proven to be true.

In any event, people who enter the house put themselves on public display and open themselves up to public opinion. So we are entitled to have an opinion.

As for the editing issue - Jo claims to have been edited unfairly and then says that she hasn't seen any of the footage. So how can she know that she has been edited unfairly? Secondly - Jade in particular should have known EXACTLY how editing in Big Brother works.

My belief is that spending nearly a month cooped up with a bunch of people will bring out people's true characters. Dirk, Jermaine, Shilpa and Ian have come out of it well, because it is not in their nature to attack and hurt people. Jo, Jade and Danielle came out of it badly because their natures are not nice.

If it had just been a couple of comments they had made, then I would agree that the editing was unfair - however, it was constant abuse and name calling, constant bitching and scheming. And some of us base our opinions on the live feed, not just the highlights.
