Jo, This isn't going to be a normal interview. You've been quite nervous about it since leaving the house. Weirdly all week you've been saying something was up. Why?

I dunno. I just had a funny feeling that something wasn't quite right.

You were right, something has been going on... look at this.

***clipreel of news coverage/headlines in newspapers/effigy burning in India***

Oh my God.

So what's happened between you, Danielle, Jade and Shilpa has made headline news across the world. It's been an international incident.

My God.

The reason behind all of that was this...

***clipreel of incidents including Jo's mocking of Shilpa's accent/other contentious comments/laughing at bullying of Shilpa***

I know you've said just then, during the clips... we've made it look so much worse than it was but we did watch that whole argument unedited and it was absolutely awful to watch. And don't forget that we've been watching streaming live on e4 so its been impossible to edit it and you badly.

It does look very bad.

That was the cuts of the worst bits so obviously that's going to be bad, but what would you say to that?

Looking at it like that it looks absolutely terrible. It didn't feel terrible in there and I'm not a racist person at all. I mean my cousin is married to an Indian man for one, and my cousins are half Indian and their family's with me all the time.

But what's with the comments... the accent mimicking. Some people found that offensive. Questioning whether Indians were thin because they didn't cook their food properly ????

Did I say that?

Yes, you did.

Did I?

You said that there, in that sequence.

You know, I don't even remember saying that.

But you did... and so can you understand why people would find that offensive?

Yeah... I didn't never mean it in that way though. I'm not a racist person at all I'm really not. i know that I'm not so...

I mean in the house, when you're taking to Shilpa... there was a question where you'd sort of basically mock her cultural background or her personally.

Really?

Yeah.

I didn't even know what I was doing then.

Let's move on to the bullying side of things. Let's talk about the argument that Jade had. So you and Danielle were sat in the living room.

If there's a situation that I'm a bit uncomfortable with I get the giggles with my nerves.
That's just the person that I am. If something... if I see something bad happen out on the street and when I've been given bad news even about family members I laugh because that's the way I deal with bad nerves.

And now........ well, I'm going to start laughing now because my nerves are shot.

I wouldn't.

I won't. But that's just the way I am...... that my nerves...

Shilpa asked you for help there, during that row.

The argument was over an Oxo cube. It got that petty in that house. At the end of the day that is what she asked for and then she backtracked and I was like...

It wasn't the fact that the argument was about an Oxo cube, it was the way in which the argument happened.

But that was not my argument.

No but you were complicit in that argument because you didn't help.

I don't know what to say to that.

Do you think that you encouraged Jade in any way?

I don't know what to say now.
No, I don't think I did, no. I didn't mean to if I did.

I mean, Jade's come out and admitted that she feels she went a bit over the top. She bullied Shilpa and she has admitted to that.

I'm not going to deny that Shilpa did aggravate me a lot.

Why?

I don't know why, you can't click with everybody you meet. It's not because I'm racist of Shilpa at all. I think she's a very beautiful very elegant woman. In life you can't be expected to be put in a house with a lot of different people and everybody's just gonna go and bang click straight away. I didn't dislike Shilpa but I wasn't as close to her as say I was to Danielle or to Cleo. I found it hard and I didn't trust her for a long time.
I said in the diary room the last 2 days she seemed to come out of herself so much more and become the real Shilpa. Before that there was this big mask on and this big guard up and she said, 'I can't be myself in here' but really as far as I'm aware the game is you go in there and the whole reason you go in there is to show people who you really are. The last 2 days she's come out with not a stitch of makeup on and I like that.

And did you show people who you really are?

Yes I did. I really believe that I did.

(Davina looks as if to say, "gotcha!" to that answer)

I wish Davina would quit with the "mimicking accents" question.

Mimicking accents is not racist. Everyone does it. I even saw Ian do it to Jackiey's face (as well as behind her back), with absolutely nothing coming of it.
Davina should have concentrated more on the comments that Jo had made toward Dirk, about wanting to "break him" and "lets push him over the edge, I hate that f*cker", but nothing was said.

It also highlighted, in my opinion, that Jade Goody had been briefed and coached on what to say during her interview, and Jo had not. Jo looked like she'd been hit with a wet kipper, so stunned did she look.

According to a poster on DS Jo's interview was about 15 minutes after her exit - so no time to brief her.

I didn't like the way that she tried to defend hersel by making excuses. For example does she really expect us to believe that her giggling during the Oxo argument was nerves? (especially when she finished up with "that made my day")

The most telling thing was that she believes that she was herself in the house. She rally came over as a fairly horrible person - wonder if she will change her mind when she sees the tapes.

Why did they come out together?

I think the whole of Britain cheered when the vile Jo was evicted and revelled in her obvoius discomfort as her clips of her awfulness were played back. She fell straight into Davina's trap when she said she kept saying to be herself in there and Davina said "so you were yourself in there then?" Jo said yeees.... and before she could expand, Davina said "thank you Jo" and ended the interview.

I just wish they had played her clip of saying that she wouldnt pish on Dirk if he was on fire. In fact her picking on him the whole time wasnt even broached. Davina should have hit her with a double whammy like, why did you want to contaminate the food of a ex cancer sufferer?

I just hope I never ever see her coarse face ever again.

i too thought they never showed the clips fo jo at her worse!! ive been away all week have missed the whole dirk thing but they couldve showed jo more when the three witches were in bed slagging off shilpa and in the toilets!!

Hang about, Dirk was horrid when Jo was in there, he is a rude and silly old man at the best of times, other times funny and charming but he would test anyone with his grumpiness.

I thought that Davinas interview was silly and pandered to the minority. The vast majority of BB watchers did not like how Jade or Jo were but really were not surprised. 30000 protesters is a tiny amount compared with the overall audience so why swing the whole interview towards them. Why show Danielle saying about eating with fingers again when it is a correct statement (INDIAN PEOPLE EAT WITH THEIR HANDS NOT KNIVES AND FORKS). Why show the stupid media frenzy based on nowt, why show that fool Keith Vaz wasting time in parliament, why try and create a big drama. Left to their own devices in the house all the girls actually started to get along and probably learned a lot about cultures. Bullying my asre, they are not children.

Stick a posh Indian princess in with a couple of common or garden London oiks and you will get what you get. What you will not get is sweetness and harmony, Jo, Danielle and Jade have poor educations. Jack has the education of a 8 year old child, The real scandal is how we still churn out people like this in 2007. None of the English lot have any concept of georgraphy, i doubt any of them read.

Racism is not the issue but crap education is . Davina's interview just caved and had no balls.

I'm not going to deny that Shilpa did aggravate me a lot.

Why?

I don't know why, you can't click with everybody you meet.

I wish Jo had have carried on with this subject and said, "you cant click with everyone you meet, and surely - Davina - this is the point of the whole show? You stick a load of people from all different walks of life in the BB house and hope it kicks off? Thats what you wanted wasnt it? The fact it went a tad too far came back and bit you on the arrse, has got you all panicking hasnt it? So, Davina, whether or not my behaviour was acceptable or not, Endemol actually got what they deserved....."

There was next to nothing in that interview that phased Jo, she didn't seem the littlest bit bothered, and had her replies pretty much to hand. I'd say that she was definitely taken to one side before and vetted very well on what to say - mostly.

The whole prog is a fake and a lie!:evilmad:

that is rubbish

that is rubbish

No, it's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it!

I dont agree. Jo barely had time to draw breath before she was out of that house and in the studio being interviewed. Far from being not bothered, she looked like she was bricking it from start to finish and looked and sounded so gobsmacked by the whole thing, she barely answered any of the questions.

I dont approve of her or anyone elses behaviour but Davina and Endemol make me laugh. They put people in that house, arrange tasks designed to turn hms against each other and then get all holier than thou and self righteous in interviews afterwards, when the people theyve set up to fail do exactly that.

Jo has now made it plain that she would do the same again, doesn't give a toss, and is in no way sorry for anything she did or said in BB house.

Nice lass huh! :bag:

I bought the Mirror today just to read her interview with them, and she said she doesnt regret anything that she did or said in the house. She said the BB producers edited it to make her seem like a chain smoking, dressing gown wearing, greasy haired bully.

Yep perhaps ..... but they arent clever enough to put words into your mouth Jo :bored:

She also said she thought Shilpa got special treatment in the house. She apparently spent her life in the diary room, and when she found the bed too uncomfortable, she asked for a new bed and it was delivered for her. Jo said she thought she was a mole.

Jo was practically staple gunned into that manky, grey looking dressing gown! How can she reckon she wasnt? Lol.....

oh no i thought she look totally nervous and basically cacking her pants!! she didnt know what to say half the time when davina challenged her!! i will say that jo and danielle are not that bad when jade isnt around, so it just goes to show that jade were the ringleaders and jo and danielle are the pathetic cowardly lapdogs. bit like crabbe and malfoy.
