Jade Goody, blissfully unaware of just of unpopular she is, is a dead cert to leave the Big Brother house tonight, and the whole of the UK are primed to indulge themselves in national schadenfreude (the gleeful practice of delighting in the misfortunes of others). Some psychologists reckon it's human nature to laugh at others' hardships, though even they'd have to admit that it's made all the more easy when the person involved is Jade.
Given the height of feeling she's recently caused, Channel 4 have taken the step of disallowing any members of the public to witness her stupefied troll-like face live at Elstree Studios for fear of an 'incident'. The ratings will be enormous though. It's with fantastic irony that she'll be rendered infamous by the very show that made her famous in the first place. Memories of the stupidity and aggression she displayed back in Big Brother 2002 were muted over time and she was accepted as being a celebrity. Celebrity BB '07 though, has just reminded the nation, with aplomb, why we found her so odious in the first place. Hopefully, the great British public won't make the same mistake twice.
As a result of her runaway mouth, toe-curling views and all-round immense dislikability, the show's future is now in doubt and Channel 4 are under pressure to pull what will always be, by its very nature, a controversial programme. This, hopefully, will just make people dislike her even more. It's a win-win situation...
