Anyone else watching the above? I know its trash tv, but I look forward to it every year. My husband cant bear to be in the same room while I’m watching it!

I read that AJ’s grandmother has died in recent days but he won’t be given the news till he comes out. They had a family discussion before the start of the show and agreed if she died that he wouldn’t be told the news.

Wasn't there a moment where he went quiet and left the room? It was after the letters from home when he didn't get one. I was wondering if it suddenly hit him?
He seems a good person.

I agree Jane I find Giovanna very irritating. I'm glad Victoria had gone. All that rushing to hug everyone.

I'd like Jordan to win. Russell's nice too and so is Vernon.
Giovanna is too goody goody.

I really hope Jordan wins and not Shane - I am not keen on him. Too full of himself.
Unfortunately I can't vote because I watch it in the morning. I am too sleepy to enjoy it in the evening confused

Looking on line The Sun had a poll, Jordon way ahead ,
Russell the least number of votes

Jane10 Mon 30-Nov-20 22:41:15

The men are in general more entertaining this year. AJ is pretty boring though.

Anniebach Mon 30-Nov-20 22:38:20

Because they think he will win doesn’t mean they like him ,
Expect itv want him to win, it is being said there are offers waiting for him

Ellianne Mon 30-Nov-20 22:36:17

Theres only 2 women left. That's strange they're all being voted off?

Jane10 Mon 30-Nov-20 22:32:13

Russell's trial was fun to watch (poor man though) and no creatures harmed except him.
Interesting that so many of them think Shane is going to win. They must like him despite seeing him 24 hours a day. We're just seeing the bits where he's annoying. Wonder why?!

Ellianne Mon 30-Nov-20 21:16:40

Oh Mo!
Wales in Scotland, then in Ireland!
The castle he is in is even in Wales!

I suggest you all read the RSPCA's take on this awful programme:
Search for: Camp cruelty: stop the use of live creatures on ITV's show

Watching this right now. Actually cannot stand the sound of Shane Richies voice. He absolutely LOVES talking about himself. How much he earns, what a huge celeb he is. ‘I was Mr Saturday night’!! When was that then. I must have missed it!
Hope he’s out next.

MissAdventure Sat 28-Nov-20 13:55:20

I saw Shane Richie in pantomime a few years back, and took an instant dislike to him. A really strong feeling, it was.

I've no idea why, and I'm not prone to such things, but it was almost palpable.

So, I'm finding them all a bit wishy washy, apart from not wanting Shane to win.

Roses Sat 28-Nov-20 13:52:17

He is broke apparently

Anniebach Sat 28-Nov-20 13:47:30

I think Shane will win, we will see even more of him each day,
wonder why he agreed to this series when he has turned down
previous series ! ! ! !

Jane10 Sat 28-Nov-20 13:40:18

Somehow I don't think Shane will win. I wonder if there will be a coming out show this year? There must be a big hotel locally - doubt it'll be like the Versace one though. I wonder if all the friends and families are being accommodated too. No expensive flights to Oz to pay for.

Grannynannywanny Sat 28-Nov-20 13:08:11

The bookies tipped Shane to win even before the series started. I hope they’re wrong. He’s cocky enough to think it’s a done deal.

It brought it home last night how much the show has had to be scaled back this year. No waiting relatives back at the Versace hotel, no breakfast buffet, no spa bath. I wonder if poor Hollie was dropped off at the nearest Travelodge for the night?

GrannyGravy13 Sat 28-Nov-20 12:39:17

Jordan or Giovanni to win would please me.
Shane is letting his guard down now, cheeky showbiz chappies are seldom nice and cheerful in real life.

Jane10 Sat 28-Nov-20 12:07:37

As usual it's all in the editing. They are recoded 24 hours a day and we only see snippets. I suspect that they highlight Shane's jokes etc because all the others are so painfully sweet! In previous series conflict has led to much greater viewer involvement (leading to greater revenue for the TV company). If they can spark off an argument its to their benefit. AJ making a better job of cleaning the pots isn't exactly exciting! At least Shane's not boring. All the others are. I like Jordan. He seems an innocent at large.

Anniebach Sat 28-Nov-20 11:40:07

Not Ruthie for me, I dislike Shane Richie, his nasty side is bubbling behind his act, not Beverly please.

I think it is ‘a journey ‘ for Victoria, years in tv current affairs,
recently breast cancer , then axed from her BBC tv programme.

I like Jordon and Giovanna and Mo is sweet

DanniRae Sat 28-Nov-20 11:35:33

I also don't think Shane is a very nice person - he plays tricks on people that are only funny to him. Of course they laugh along too but sometimes I can see that they are a bit upset. I think AJ can see this other side of him - he better not take on AJ because I think he is popular with the public because of "Strictly".
Jordan to win I think smile

Buffybee Sat 28-Nov-20 11:25:36

I agree Roses!

Buffybee Sat 28-Nov-20 11:24:09

Any and Dec are so funny and love how hysterically they laugh at the trials.
Jordan is very sweet and I like most of the camp mates, except for Ruthie and I can’t stand Shane Richie, his nasty side has shown a couple of times.
Not the happy chappie he tries to portray and I don’t think being in this show has done him any favours.

Roses Sat 28-Nov-20 11:19:28

I don't think that Shane is as nice as he would like you to believe, there is definitely friction between him and AJ
