I think that ultimately he was saying how the environment and the fact he was being watched had affected his behaviour. Which is true of all of them, including Jade!

Too true OG. Most of the housemates in this series and the previous two have made a point of saying how they were not their 'true self' in the house. I think you have to subsume certain aspects of your natural personality, especially if you're an extrovert personality like Jonny, otherwise you'd be out within the first couple of weeks.

I don't think it's hypocritical to play up your good points and try and minimise your 'bad' points - not only does it make your life in the house easier, it also shows a certain respect for your housemates. You can still try and be true TO yourself whilst trying to get on with others and 'bite your tongue' when under different circumstances you may have spoken out. This isn't being two faced this is taking the middle ground, and it's no bad thing in such a confined environment and in the company of people who not only are virtual strangers but may be people you wouldn't want to spend more than a few minutes with in the 'real world'.

I think there's a lot be to said for the 'less is more' approach - perhaps something Jade could do with remembering!!
