But all those claiming that some type of misogyny or sexism is responsible for her eviction, need to stop and think again.

Jayne and Evelyn are not only STILL in the house, but Jayne - a woman - is THE key to why Laura has gone.

Jayne has a dubious past - stripper, paramour to high profile married men, kiss-and-tell - all factors which should have GUARANTEED public disdain and HM reservation, if not outright disrespect and prejudice.

Instead Jayne has won the respect and admiration of both the public, and the majority of her HM's, in addition to being one of THE strongest candidates to actually WIN BB.

And, whether her conduct inside the house is the result of very adept 'Game Playing' or how she REALLY is, it is precisely that conduct which has seen Jayne reverse any public adverse preconceptions and dislike, and cement her place in the final.

Jayne's achievement is more commendable still, when one considers, that she is not particularly attractive looking and - at 49 years old - is far from 'the first bloom of youth'.

She still has, however, long shapely legs and a 'youthful' figure, and though she has not been averse to wearing bikinis, she has NOT paraded herself naked or displayed the intimate parts of her anatomy for the camera a la Laura and others.

Jayne HAS carried herself with dignity and conveyed moral integrity throughout her time in the house, and has participated in tasks and tomfoolery alike, with gusto and a sense of fun.

Just as importantly, she has ceded to the 'dramatic' nature of the BB beast and at times 'thrown her tantrums' (in best Nikki Grahame fashion) and indulged in the Diary Room hokum of "I want to leave", but such times have been carefully 'measured' to whet the viewing appetite not satiate it.

Laura, on the other hand, has done virtually EVERYTHING wrong.

She alienated a great number of the public prior to her even setting foot in the house by arrogantly proclaiming:

"I can get any man in the house who I want to".

Once in the house, she was almost immediately WILLINGLY complicit in near pornographic exhibitionism with the spoilt, drug addled, crazy, Marco Pierre White Jnr - who is sadly a candidate for an early death from OD or permanent mental insanity, if ever there was one.

Perhaps Laura was seduced by that great BB misapprehension, that a 'showmance' guarantees longevity and the best chance of winning, and perhaps - driven by that 'Gold Digging' streak which too many good looking women seem to possess now, AND blinded by her own conceit - she really DID believe that Marco's interest in her was GENUINE and that he was not just using her submissive compliance as a means to prove his 'pulling power' to the world to feed his massive ego.

In any event, Laura was not seduced, she was a WILLING partner - even initiating further sexual coupling AFTER supposedly admitting that what she had done was 'wrong' and 'out of character' and that it would not happen again.

And it is THIS hypocrisy which has remained in the minds of some of the viewers.

Of course, it did not help her popularity, that Marco wrongfully bore the brunt of their 'porno shows', by being evicted for his troubles, leaving Laura 'Scot Free' to sit in the house to 'rewrite history' in a blatant exercise of 'damage limitation'.

Alas, the 'damage' was done, and another significant number of Marco fans would not forget.

As the 'unsavoury' incidents with Marco faded, Laura did manage to restore some lost popularity by largely keeping her clothes ON, and acting with a little more dignity, but chiefly by forming a friendship with Evelyn - who thus far, had acted with greater dignity and who seemed more popular.

Laura though, blotted her copybook, by continually whining during conversations with other HM's and in her conversations in the Diary Room - and the 'sub text' of all those little speeches was that she was 'hard done by'.

Laura could have learnt a lot from the older, more savvy Jayne, and if she had, she would have still been in the house, and the abhorrent Bob Marley/Dappy hybrid Jackson would have - rightly - been toast.

DISCLAIMER:

It may appear to any member reading this post, that because I have somewhat eulogised Jayne, that I support her, but I do not.

I do however RESPECT her for the way she has conducted herself in the house, and for the way she has 'Played The Game', and I believe in telling the truth as I see it.

It is a great pity that the Jason haters on here do not share that same sense of fairness.

Good post and thought provoking.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I like Jayne and think she is 'bang on' even at 49!! I would like her even more if it wasn't for her penchant of chasing men with money and then getting used and feeling disenchanted with the whole process.

I think with all housemates, what you see is what you get, you cannot hide forever. Deep down, Jayne is a good girl, with good morals and a kind heart and that shines through. Yes, she has clearly made mistakes and it's probably her 'young at heart' attitude that gets her into trouble chasing men with money- who knows, I don't know enough her about her. What I do know is she's bright, amusing, articulate, and has a kind soul and does care about others.

In contrast- Laura is the complete antithesis to her. I personally don't find her attractive in the least. More so she has a selfish persona and soul. She's all for survival at any cost. What's in it for me. She never looks beyond herself, self gratification at every turn. Hence for jumping out of a completely good marriage to a bloke that was good. For what reason? She was bored. I tell you, this girl is heading for a fall if she doesn't change her ways. I guarantee you she will meet up with Marco, there will also a fake meeting with the guy from South America which will be FAKE...Hey, but anything to keep the coffers rolling in.


I disagree with you one thing though Kirk, the reason why Laura is out of the house isn't because of Jayne, or Sam or Evelyn it's because of Laura. You fell in to the trap that she has been peddling for the last few weeks- deflection. She needs to be aware of her actions and how they have consequences. She has this great tendency to almost have an outer body experience and comment in the third person as if it is not her she is referring to.She is totally un-natural, always scheming, at every turn you can see the cogs turning, she was always trying to play for air time but didn't have the intellect, the humour or the know how to be of worthy news content for the final cut and when they did show her she was either whining or making things up. Take the 'dream' for instance, I have never heard as much horse sh!t coming out of one BB HM's cake hole as that little performance. Desperate for attention- sinking faster than a proverbial lead weight.

Even last night, she was talking as if it was someone else, " Oh, I thought they would get behind a down to earth, cheeky Northern girl" or words to that effect.


I would love Jayne to win, because out of all of them she is the most rounded and the least offensive of the remaining house mates, sadly it's been a shoe in from day 1 that Hughie was going to take the crown.

The whole format needs changing because if Hughie does win then it's still a popularity contest and really a waste of time and energy getting annoyed and worked up about this whole charade. I long for the day when someone, is allowed skill fully to fcuk others over and win. with out BB meddling or sh!t stirring etc. Someone we all hate but has the wit and know how to take the crown.
