Zoe Birkett is kicked out of BB 2014

In a dash to catch up with the Big Brother series for 2014 I have now seen singer and Y listing part celebrity and nobody Zoe Birkett kicked out of BB.  They say the voting was close between Chris, Pav and Zoe, however I am in no doubt Zoe was the right person to get kicked out of BB.  Which has been blamed on a short snippet of conversation she had with Ash.  In this conversation she illustrated her life was so exciting and she had done so much it was good to arrive in a household with a lot of powerful people.  She intimated if she had come into a household where the house mates had worked at a superstore stacking shelves she would of had nothing in common and found them all boring.  In defence during later interviews she said this snippet of video had been taken out of proportion. The conversation she'd had with Ash had lasted a half hour. Further she said she had done all sorts of jobs just to keep a roof over her head, including delivering leaflets.  Unfortunately, Zoe wanted to excuse herself and explain why she said what she said she did not even reflect what she voiced may have been taken differently by the ordinary viewer.

Zoe believes she is an incredibly bubbly person, she is loud and loves other energetic people, but she really is not getting the significance of what she said.  There was no sincere apology and understanding she had got it wrong.  In fact during her stay in the BB household it seemed there just happened to be a band stand singing task. Of course this would of been fantastic for her profiling in the public eye as well. To some extent BB has helped boost her career, depending that is whether her move to America and American's get to see Zoe's profile, in reality they probably will not.  But one thing is for sure she will for the time being be making a bundle of cash from her appearance on BB 2014.  Whether it is for doing private singing at parties or endorsing BB, she will momentarily be in the money.  Except for this one comment which has demeaned her in the eyes of some people.  Someone who is constantly talking and loud has some kind of issue in the background. Her ability to think about the how she may be perceived by other people is certainly at a shallow level.

In Big Brother's Bit on the Side BBOTS the panel were all sad Zoe had left and they wished Chris had left. This panel again was not representative of a normal panel of interviewers, there was Lord Lionel Blair, who in his hey day was a self obsessed dancer with airs of his own royalty.  Now he can hardly be neutral because he had been in the very business Zoe currently is in, i.e, Zoe being on the West End in musicals and stage productions.  Then there is also a Nolan sister, famous for being part of the Nolan Sister's singers, well there's no connection there is there (said with sarcasm)? Lastly Luisa Zissman, who just doesn't like Chris in any form at all.  While on Bit on the Psych, one panel member advised Zoe of her constant defensiveness and talking, trying to get Zoe to see what she was doing at that very moment.  But still it did not work.

Zoe could have repealed her status in the public eye had she firstly apologised for this small snippet, and had she then reflected how it may have been seen by the viewers.  Her failure to do so is the mark of someone who does not have humility.  Her social support comes primarily from her family who must be constantly stroking her and telling her how wonderful she is, because they certainly have not challenged her behaviour.

Zoe if I never see you again on TV it wouldn't bother me, unless perhaps you gained a little understanding and stepped down from your own soap box.
