So in the aftermath of Celebrity Big Brother's 'race row' and bullying incidents, 3 individuals are being held responsible for the most part leaving several others to go un-questioned for their behaviour. Of course, the 3 being Jade, Jo and Danielle.

Given that these 3 in-particular are trying desperately to save their public image via the use of the media instead of accepting their wrongs and sinking back into society, each individual has taken a significantly different approach to redemption than the others.

1. Sympathy. (Jade). Jade's PR team are working hard to pull the heart strings of the British public, and Jade's good friends 'the press' are creating a tidal wave of 'hate' for which they are holding the people of Britain responsible for.

2. Denial. (Jo). From the moment Jo came out of the house and started taking interviews she has stuck adamantly to her position of being absolutely innocent in the whole furore, and any offense caused was un-intentional, giving no verbal indication of her remorse for the offense she caused.

3. Insincerity. (Danielle). the most ambitious of the young career girls, so understandably the one to pull out all the stops, instead of giving a simple sincere apology for her admitted offences, her PR team embarked on an intense 'damage limitation' campaign, writing long winded apologies to all the right people, saying all the things people want to hear, and the hard work has basically seen Danielle turn from 'media monster' to 'media angel' in the space of a week.

As it stands, Danielle's insincerity seems to have won her an early lead in the race for redemption, but how do you think it will turn out in the long-term? Who is conning the public best? Or would you just prefer it if they would get a proper job?

Jo's seems to be working the least.

I'd say they should stay out of the media spotlight for a year or two, and then release one single simple statement apologising for any offence caused. Definitely the best damage limitation tactic.

I agree Jo's seems to be working the least, probably due to the public demanding apologies and justice and all that ( which is what Danielle is pandering to so well ), but out of the 3, I sort of have a tiny little bit of respect for Jo the way she is not backing down to the pressure. I think shes trying to work out whats actually going on. Ive said it before and ill say it again, if Jo ever does apologise, I will believe it.

The other two dont mean a word of it.

Should leave, all this fighting to clear your name does you no favours, especially when people have made up there minds.

A break would do them all good to clearly think this through and get there minds on the right track.

I don`t think Denial,Sympathy or insincerity will work, and I hope they quietly leave the spotlight.They don`t set a good example which is vital in the world of celebrity without talent.However judging someones degree of insincerity is harder to do, and one wonders how the world would be if we only considered that an apology was genuine if there was no obvious ulterior motivation to make one. Knowing the nature of our country tho,I suspect we will see far more of them again in the future.If you have ch4 and a loyal but small fan base behind you ,there is a career of sorts to be had.

Just...you know...which is the smartest plan. Which one is going to be the most effective in the long term. Who has the best chance of redeeming thier 'public image'.

Or, do you think they should just p*** off.

Discuss.

true dat!

They should just leave the media spotlight, even if they do redeem themselves, they will always be reminded and remembered as the bullies of CBB. I don't think they can redeem themselves but who know.

Insincerity. I think Danielles tactics are the best. They're the tactics of a seasoned politsian who's been caught doing something he shouldn't. She's apologising, but also implying she was set up. She saying she was wrong, but it wasn't all her fault. I think she's pitching it just right.

Jade's sympathy tactics are most distasteful. I thinl they'll will work but I find it appalling that some one would fiegn any kind of mental illness.

Jo's tactics begger belief. I understand where you're coming from when you say that you'd actually believe an apology from jo, but it's too late. I can only see her apologising if the threats become too much and she ends up getting happy slapped in the street. And surely under those conditions Jo's aplogy would be even more insincere than Daielle's. She's got to come clean and start admiting a few things. I see she wants BB scrapped and is blaiming the show for the whole thing. Who's she trying to kid. The show didn't force her to make ignorant statments and then act like nothings wromg. She's got to say what needs to be said.

I have to say, looking at the three, the most grit and determination is without doubt coming from Ms Goody. Yet no-one respects that.

More people respect Danielles lies. That surprises me.

Not sure I agree. Ms Goody has the most to lose and I'm not sure of the grit and determination you're referring to. I think she's being told what to do and most of the time is failing to do it.

Danielle seems to be quite a sweet girl. She's taking reponsibility for her actions but also hinting that she's been set up. It's a nice balance.

Jo is clueless in every way imaginable.

I think Jade has prolifically been trying to repair the damage that has been done, whilst Danielle doesn't seem to have done much, and is now busy sunning herself. Danielle seems to be the one who is getting the least of the backlash. But maybe that's because she has been more "low key". As for Jo.......

[The_Hitman]

So how are things looking for our 3 little troopers?

Jade's visited India to explain to them how she too was underpriveliged, Danielle has orchestrated a tedious on off 'media relationship' with Wet Spam footballer Teddy Sheringham whilst sunbathing on holiday and from what the tabloids are suggesting, Jo O Meara will be dying soon. One thing is for certain, they are still the 3 biggest stars in the country right now. at least, 2 of them are.

Are your opinions changing towards the 3 quests for redemption?

Why have none of them been dismissed from our popular culture?

Do you like any of them?

[Mrluvaluva]

My opinions of Jade have changed. I actually started to feel sorry for her at one point. But all this pr **** she is pulling at the moment is so false. Makes me feel nothing but contempt for her.
