[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 103795, member: 33"] I felt sorry for Shane J yesterday. The show seemed to be edited as a Party Political Broadcast for the Ann Widdecombe Party and the Anti-Shane J Brigade. Even when Shane gave a totally gracious (an in my view, unnecessary) apology to Ann, she showed absolutely no contrition herself for some of the appalling comments she made in the house and the whole thing came across as if Shane was the only one in the wrong and Ann was shown as if she was in line for the Pope to make her a saint. So many of the housemates turned on Shane J because he is one of the few that isn't scared of Ann and willing to challenge her vile opinions. When people say stuff like [I]"I don't agree with Ann but I respect her convictions"[/I] I say they should be disappointed in themselves for not challenging her bigotry when they see it and I could never respect homophobia no matter how strong are someone's convictions. Even when Wayne and Jess played that game lining up the housemates according to their opinions of them, I felt they were unfair to Shane J, frequently placing him unfairly in the most unfavourable position. To say Ann is honest and Shane J isn't is laughable and just exemplifies the vice-like control she has over her fellow housemates. However, I think Shane J is safe in the triple eviction but I fear the consistently wonderful Malika will be voted out which will be a shame, not least because it will leave Shane even more isolated in the house full of Widdicombe handmaids, apologists and sycophants.
