I know I'm skipping way ahead of myself as far as Jade's PA is concerned but apparently there is a lot of noise on internet websites that the final episode of Jade's PA was rigged.
It was not rigged. Rebecca McCormick won fair and square.
Hiring a PA is partly skill and partly personality preference. Jade picked the PA she felt she could get on with on a daily basis. Why is that so hard to believe?
I personally would have picked any of the top three for a PA (not that I need one)....in fact there were a couple in the bottom seven that would be happy with too!
Jade's PA was edited, as are all TV shows, to show the most provocative parts of people's personality. I must say, Rob and I look a bit boring compared to our real personalities, but we were there to look professional, but like the nutty characters we can be.
I was watching the audition episode of Jade's PA which I received from the head of LIVINGtv. 30 hours of auditions pared down to a one hour episode left a lot of exciting stuff out. Unfortunately it also left stuff in that I'd rather not see....like that shirt I was wearing! Yikes! Was I smoking crack before dressing myself? Not one person pulled me aside and said, "Ahem, Heather, put your jacket on and suffer the heat. That shirt looks obscene!"
One funny thing about the first day of auditions.....my driver pulls up in front of the girl's school where we were filming at Tavistock Square, after just informing me that the bombings from last years partly happened where we were. the bus that was bombed blew up feet from where I stood. I was shocked and saddened and came out of the car looking like that.
Not knowing where I was or where I was to go, I look down the street and there is a LONG line of PA potentials waiting to audition. I walked past them and to the front of the line and tempers started to flare.
Who was I to "queue jump?" I was cutting in line.
I must still have that PA vibe about me because there was no way I was going to be allowed to cut the line and go toward the front.
"The line starts back there. We were here first," I was politely told y a Jade's PA wannabe.
Okay, I have this Aquarius sun sign with a Scorpio rising and it does make a bit of bitchiness come into play occasionally.
I looked the contestant dead in the eye. "I know. I'm going to be judging you."
Now that was not necessary but I did it anyway. First off, what numbskull of a PA wannabe is going to be dragging her 11-year old son into an audition with her? Certainly not me. And yes, once in awhile I can get pissy.
And funny enough, the PA contestant questioning my queue jumping made the security question me. The 6' 7" fright of a guard from Trojan Security Services (I had to laugh because "Trojans" in America are rubbers, condoms or what do they call them in the UK, durexes?) looked at me questioningly like I was duping him. I raised me eyebrows at him with all the defensiveness I could muster. I guess I convinced him that I was indeed a judge because he eventually showed me through to makeup.
Okay, off I go for today. more later now that I'm back up and running.
