Well, they couldn’t really let Jo go out and face the music on her own, could they?
Pretty sneaky move on the part of Big Brother, as we sort of wanted to see someone take the fall for last week’s racism and bullying extravaganza. It looked likely that Jo was going to take the fall…until they chucked Cleo Rocos out at the same time.
So - Jo’s boos were mixed with Cleo’s cheers and now the production crew have about an hour to brief Jo and Cleo on what’s been happening for the last couple of weeks. So, the voting public are denied the look of shock on Jo’s face as she discovers just how vile most of the nation thinks she is. Not fair.
On a personal level, I’ve been very disappointed by Jo on Celebrity Big Brother. I used to admire her in S Club 7, and always assumed that she was a leader in that group and not a follower. To find out she picks on people and invents huge vendettas against people was a big letdown…..
Jo’s Exit Interview
Well, contrary to what I expected Davina virtually made mincemeat of old Jo. No holds barred, although how much did Jo know in the hour leading up to the interview? I don’t know.
Still, she didn’t seem to have the wit to properly distance herself from the Shilpa/Jade debacle. Davina: “So, was that what you’re really like?” Jo: “Duh, yeah Davina. Smoking, hating, that’s me love. Did you like me dressing gown?”
It’s just a shame that the hack job that Jade “emotional damage” Goody should have received fell to Jo, who was really only a bit player!
Cleo’s Interview
Poor Cleo, all she did was stood by and watched, but Davina needed to know why she didn’t intervene. And having seen her swift destruction of Jo O’Meara, she was obviously a bit guarded. Although Davina treated her as an accomplice by not getting involved and choosing instead to drag in Jermaine.
Never mind, Cleo still came across pretty well, given the circumstances. The post-Big Brother press circuit will tell whether she’s got staying power.
Cleo Rocos has today revealed to Big Brother that not only has she made some new friends in the house but she has also found a soulmate in Jo O’Meara.
