I’ve never heard of Stanley Tucci but if he does a cookery programme I’m sick to death of the number of cookery programmes on television. However I love Italy. I haven’t been since pre Covid but look forward to going again sometime.

Oh but Maddyone, its Stanley Tucci! Give it a go...

You still don't get it. It's the interreaction between the contestants that we like, not the trials! Some of us don't even watch the trials. I have never watched this programme before because the contestants never appealed to me. But this time they do, MH in particular, just to see how the others cope with him day in and day out. George and Moyles in particular are resentful and seething because he's doing so well, which is fascinating.

I think you all watch it for entertainment.

We all get our entertainment in different ways. Some of us like Stanley Tucci learning about the cuisine of Italy, some of us like "celebrities" we've never heard of before interacting with discredited politicians and pop stars.

Just because I dip in and out of IACGMOOH as and when does not exclude me from watching other programmes.

Stanley Tucci is the current favourite another one will be along and surpass him in the coming months.

Do you remember the days when men used to say they bought Playboy for the articles?

I am not old enough volver

Why don’t you tell us the GN viewers why we watch IACGMOOH as you obviously think you know us better than we do ourselves?

Me too GrannyGravy13. I often fast forward through the trials. It's the people and their interaction that interests me.

GrannyGravy13 Mon 14-Nov-22 14:19:54

For me it’s not all about the trials, I enjoy the interaction between the contestants who are far removed their comfort zones.

Yes there was definitely pure tripe in the last challenge, along with liver, carcasses, hearts, lungs and goodness knows what else.

Its been said over and over again, we want something silly to watch, to escape from all the gloom and doom! But some people just don't get it. 🤦‍♀️

Perhaps some of us watch a better class of tripe?

volver Mon 14-Nov-22 14:00:05

I get it.

I just don't understand it. Why watching people eat unspeakable things for fun is considered an escape. But we're all different.

Of course the lovely Stanley Tucci was tucking into lungs last night, so....

We put it on last night for the first time we’ve ever watched it.

Oh dear, oh dear.

We lasted until Hancock was stung - I couldn’t stand it any longer.

It was pure tripe.

Aveline Mon 14-Nov-22 13:13:07

The first person voted off this Friday. I suspect it'll be Matt.

maddyone Mon 14-Nov-22 12:45:51

I’d like to see the horrible Chris Moyles do a challenge. Or Mike Tindall, not because he’s horrible because he’s not, but because I think it’d be good viewing. Also Sue, who has disappointed me really with her whinging. I’ve seen enough of Matt Hancock now. He’s done the trials, he’s shown he’s good at them, we now need to see some of the others put to the test because that’s part of the entertainment surely. It’s totally boring seeing the same person every night.

Smileless2012 Mon 14-Nov-22 12:19:24

I wouldn't be surprised if he won either Oreo. He's got more chance of winning than the ones making nasty comments behind his back, but enjoying the food he keeps winning for them.

CvD66 Mon 14-Nov-22 11:52:00

I totally disagree with Matt Hancock being in the jungle. If everyone would stop voting ALL TOGETHER then ITV would realise what a mistake they have made. While people watch and vote there are very happy advertisers (paying ITV heaps) and very content ITV directors.

Oreo Mon 14-Nov-22 11:34:07

It’s time Boy George was given a few horrible challenges.Wonder if Matt Hancock will win? Wouldn’t be surprised.

volver Mon 14-Nov-22 11:21:55

Why do you think Hancock is on this "game"? This entirely optional game? Where people get kudos for doing entirely useless and self inflicted disgusting "challenges"?

Is he there to get food for people and talk about dyslexia?

Or to show the public what a good guy he is, so that lots of people will have a different feeling about him in years to come?

The gullibility of the viewing public is astounding.

It's working then.

It does for the hard of thinking.

But then it always does.

It is what delivers us Brexit and austerity, and such slow growth.

Those who are watching have admiration for MH as a contestant, not as a politician. He has done amazingly well, and if you had seen the disgusting challenges you would have to agree. He has done them with good humour and determination and has kept the others well fed (very important). So lighten up, it's just a game, it's not real life.

who is forgiving of their own failings but judgemental of others? confused what a weird thing to post if it is directed at people on here

That comment was clearly referring to the other contestants and not posters on here.

There are other contestants bitching and whining away in the background, not attractive traits at anytime happens each year.
