I did not particularly want Laura to go. For some strange reason, I liked her - much preferring her to the other young women in the house, Emma, Evelyn, Lateysha, and Georgina - and finding her far more interesting, attractive and sexy.
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.

Alex,
Getting kind of sick about being the scapegoat over here.
I would love to read her 'top secret' pre-show mental profile. They obviously chose her for a reason. (and please don't stereotype all ginger people with her behaviour!)
..every bit a goddess in that dress...
...cheeky little beggers, BB for not showing us that bit/information...
