I'm a Celeb!

I feel the same, LadyGracie. Too many 'joint' trials and not much competition. Didn't they used to be split into two camps for a while?

Plus, an hour and a half some nights is just too long.

I don't know why but I'm not enjoying it so much this year, it seems a bit 'tame' and more manufactured than in the past. There seem to be no real 'characters'.

Its really off putting when the celebs are in the telegraph shack apparently just talking. They are answering specific questions put to them by the producers but we don't hear that. All we get is their responses hence all the ones saying 'I really like Martin but...'
My suspicion is that Larry was told to have a word with Martin.
I'll not forget that he didn't hesitate to dive in to that weed infested lake to rescue Scarlett. That alone made him king of the jungle for me. Of course that was before the producers lost interest in him...

So much editing ,

Jane Martin, annoying yes, but he is harmless, Larry is not though, he really is manipulative. I cannot stand what he said about Martin being a lower middle class snob, which was the polite version. I have very working class roots, but would never describe someone how Larry described Martin. Still as you said tv gold.

I disagree rafichagran. It was highly selective. I bet all of the others have had plenty to say about Martin as he's so annoying. TV gold though so the producers will be thrilled.

-Jane 10- I don't think it was manipultive editing, he said it or should I say whispered it to Wayne. Martin tried to make peace with him and his reaction was just nasty. I like Martin and dislike Larry, I have met too many people like him he really is not a great bloke.

I think Larry has got very irritable lately. I disliked the way he had a go at Martin because he eagerly suggested using straws to choose who did a challenge. For goodness sake talk about over reacting - I thought Martin took it very well. I would have told him to go forth and multiply!!

Hey rafichagran that was manipulative editing! Larry's a great bloke. Martins a pain in the neck but his episodes make good viewing. The producers want/need to keep him in. Remember what a kind gent he was in the opening section. He really saved Scarlett and has helped all of them all the time. Its no wonder how irritated he got with Martin.

I have really gome off Larry now, referring to Martin as a middle class snob was just nasty. Martin has been to Uni and made a career for himself in the media. Larry has also been succesful but came across as an inverted snob.

I admit it's tempting Jalima

I am glad Martin was saved, he has livened it up a bit. I don't buy into Scarlett either, and do not want her to win.

I would even watch IACGMOOH for £1,500!

No way, I would not watch Poldark , not that cheap

She's been OK so far to be fair, apart from the laugh!

No, it's never any of the soaps.

No, no EastEnders, recently they've watched Poldark, Planet Earth, The Zoo, all quite good programmes

Wonder what they have to watch, for that sum I would even watch eastenders , yes I know, I am cheap, who wouldn't be for £1500 a month

Yes they get takeaways too! Be a nice job over winter months, a few extra bob wouldn't go amiss!

Good grief , £1500 per month, unusual I know but I am speechless

Wow! Can't remember where I read they don't get paid but can have whatever takeaways etc. they want. Obviously misinformation!

Nice work if you can get it!

Just read in DM that families get paid £1500 per month for watching 2x6 hour sessions of TV a week. The £1500 is shared by all participants in each house.

I would like to see more of the women , not including Scarlett

I wish it had been Martin voted off, I find him a bit arrogant. I live Gogglebox, there are some great characters on it. Think I'd like Larry or Joel to win!
