Celebrity Big Brother 2007: Did the wrong Jack go?

So we’ve seen our first eviction of Celebrity Big Brother, and surprise surprise it was one of the Goody Clan. What was a surprise was that it was Jackiey, rather than Jack.

Yes, we can all heave a sigh of relief that the excrutiatingly uncomfortable antics of Jade’s mum will hopefully fade from our memories as she fades from our screens. So why the surprise? How on earth did Jack amass any votes at all? I don’t think I’ve seen him speak, I certainly haven’t seen him do anything, so I can’t believe that people picked up their phones and voted for him.

Perhaps spelling Jackiey’s name right caused problems? Perhaps many lost the will to live and just shortened it to Jack? Well, it would explain a lot!

Having said that, I don’t think the experience was any good at all for Jackiey. She seemed to be constantly on edge, very paranoid, easily upset and quick to pick up the wrong end of the stick. The others seemed to lose patience with her very quickly, for instance when she was trying to sort out the takeaway order, or when she asked for lemon juice. Perhaps she seemed like an easy target? After all, even Jade didn’t do much to defend her in the house. (Mind you, there is absolutely no way I would go into Big Brother with my mother. And she’s relatively normal and a very intelligent woman. My kids have also said I’d be their idea of a nightmare housemate)

The eviction itself was very cruel, and not just for Jackiey. Why couldn’t BB announce it while they were sat at the dining table, and at least let the woman have 30seconds to put her shoes on and say goodbye? Why am I even surprised after watching the horrible way BB evicted Vanessa two years ago? It looks like there will be a variation on the same theme today when Cleo and Carole receive their punishment for talking about nominations. At least for them its just to go up for eviction, not actually be evicted.

I’m seriously hoping that Leo Sayer will be up for eviction after the nominations. It looks like he’s winding up most people in the house with his constant self-aggrandizement - its been a long time since I saw someone that far up their own backside (well, not since Sezar, perhaps)

One final word on Jackiey’s eviction.. I only wish it had been before she inflicted that swimsuit on the civilised world…
