It's back at the weekend and, after checking out the line up, I am more than happy with this years celebs. Larry Lamb is going in, along with little Adam out of Emmerdale. Lisa Snowdon and Ola Jordan along with a footballer, comedian, gold medal winner, dancer from Diversity, Scarlett off Gogglebox. Reserves it says are Martin Roberts off Homes under the Hammer and Danny Baker. The only fly in the ointment for me is Carol Vorderman. I do like her, but she does tend to try to hog a show when she is on, like 8 out of 10 cats, she is screaming all over the show. Plus she will be bragging about being a pilot. But, it looks interesting, and something to bring us up to the Festive season. Is anyone else going to be tuning in?

According to the radio times she has written a book, appeared in an earlier reality show , has a fitness DVD and is on a radio programme ,also has thousands eho follow her on twitter

No idea what she does for a living Ana, she said she paid the mortgage off ,i never watch her programme so had never heard of her

Ana Sat 26-Nov-16 11:52:44

I read that they don't actually get paid for being on Gogglebox (and anyway, Scarlett's parents are on too) so how's she managed to pay their mortgage off? What else does she do? confused

Anniebach Sat 26-Nov-16 11:41:08

I find Martin amusing too

DanniRae Sat 26-Nov-16 11:31:24

Wasn't it hilarious when Martin was blindfolded and failed to get anywhere near where he was supposed to be? I couldn't stop laughing. I find him very entertaining, annoying but entertaining too smile

Same for me Jane10, and I am sure we are being manipulated

Jane10 Sat 26-Nov-16 09:49:10

Scarlett is irritating but I think that the producers like her as we seem to be shown a lot of her and also Adam. It does feel like we're being manipulated as to who to vote for so, naturally, that's having the opposite effect on me.

I cannot view a 26 year old as a kid. And do 26 year olds have face lifts?

BlueBelle Sat 26-Nov-16 08:49:56

I thought she seemed a nice kid quite funny ....I agree she's not an innocent little wide eyed girl but seems better than a lot of the facelift booblift look at me girls around

Anniebach Sat 26-Nov-16 08:43:08

I think at 26 years of age, the little girl, wide eyed , I am in awe of these famous people, I have never won anything in my life, I paid my parents mortgage - tell the world, is egging it. Plus she is a professional tv watcher so she must know the game

BlueBelle Sat 26-Nov-16 05:36:07

Why would you like Scarlett out ? I think it will be between Scarlett or Larry to win although Adam will be a strong contender
It does get very predictable and samey though doesn't it we could almost write the script
Ana I ve not heard of those two either I think I can live without hearing of them again either

Anniebach Fri 25-Nov-16 22:48:23

But they are not voted out Ana, just not enough votes to keep them in

Ana Fri 25-Nov-16 22:35:43

I don't know why he was voted out, at least I'd heard of him. Unllke that ex-footballer and the 'comedian'..

Anniebach Fri 25-Nov-16 22:30:56

I cannot say I was sorry he is out , I would like Scarlett out but think she will win ,

cornergran Fri 25-Nov-16 22:27:46

Found Danny irritating in the camp. Quite liked him and was sorry he was going in his end of camp interview. Left me wondering what had been cut from the show that would be illuminating.

DanniRae Fri 25-Nov-16 22:21:16

Hoorah so glad that Danny is going!! grin

Anniebach Fri 25-Nov-16 12:20:40

It is Jane10, so unfair

LadyGracie Fri 25-Nov-16 11:27:43

I hope Martin gets voted out first, he's such a whiner! Almost has a paddy when he doesn't get his own way!

Jane10 Fri 25-Nov-16 11:19:19

Its all in the editing. We see what the producers decide to show us in approx 45 mins out of 24 hours filming. The rest of the time is adverts.

Anniebach Fri 25-Nov-16 11:12:01

I think Scarlett will win, ITV are pushing her , it has become the Scarlett show , I think she is very clever to volenteer for so much, keeps her in front of the camera.

shysal Fri 25-Nov-16 10:26:01

I am finding Martin more annoying than expected, and Carol less so! Unless things change I predict Scarlett or Larry to win. I am enjoying watching a group with less unpleasantness than some in the past.

cornergran Sun 20-Nov-16 00:13:36

Felt for Martin, not easy being one of the newbies and Danny Baker is a major pain. Guessed Martin would be voted for the trial. Hope he does well.

DanniRae Sat 19-Nov-16 17:50:31

Carol is not getting on my nerves as much as I thought she would (yet) BUT Danny Baker is a pain. He wants to dominate everything. I just wish he would shut up for 5 minutes to let someone else have a say!! angry

KatyK Sat 19-Nov-16 11:35:39

Sorry someone has already said that! This is the first time we have watched anything like this. My DH won't watch any 'reality' stuff but he is a Homes Under The Hammer fan and wanted to see how Martin fares smile

KatyK Sat 19-Nov-16 11:33:32

Carol seems as though she is playing to the camera.
