Anyone watching ?

Anniebach Mon 10-Dec-18 12:38:03

I wanted John to win too, but I did have Emily as my 2nd choice

EllanVannin Mon 10-Dec-18 12:14:16

Sad because my favourite, John didn't win but that's the way it goes.

Anniebach Mon 10-Dec-18 11:51:22

Jalima she was so cross that he was looking at the females like a farmer in a cattle market and wouldn’t accept three refusals to join him and then saying he wasn’t use to ‘no’ .

Jalima1108 Mon 10-Dec-18 11:44:23

Anniebach I think it is an excellent put-down!!

Jane10 Mon 10-Dec-18 09:18:37

I agree Anniebach! Ant - come back, all is forgiven.

Anniebach Mon 10-Dec-18 08:56:49

It’s over for another year.

Hope Holly isn’t back next year, but she did get more relaxed as the days pass.

Pleased Emily and John made the final

Anniebach Sat 08-Dec-18 19:26:32

Jalima it was rude of my daughter but she was so cross that he acted as if he had the pick of the room.

I like John, think he is hyper-active, they had a beautiful house built in Cardiff. I want him to win but am sure Harry will.

Jalima1108 Sat 08-Dec-18 18:55:10

I used to really like John, then went off him a bit when he was on tv and seemed to be extremely excitable and hyper-active!
Since I've seen him on this programme (occasionally) I like him again now

I am so fickle.

I was puzzled by MDF, thinking it must be an acronym.
However, I do know what MDF board is, much used by lifestyle tv programmes.
Although I do like the DIY SOS programmes that Nick fronts which transform the lives of people.

Anniebach Sat 08-Dec-18 16:00:47

I would be most surprised if Harry didn’t win.

For me, John or Emily

Seems James annoyed viewers by complaining one year he only earned £250,000

GrannyGravy13 Sat 08-Dec-18 14:35:58

I have enjoyed this series, I really hope either Harry or Emily win.

Anniebach Sat 08-Dec-18 13:56:49

Think it was MDF, a board that was used in building, sort of cheap wood

Jane10 Sat 08-Dec-18 13:46:53

MDF?

Anniebach Sat 08-Dec-18 13:37:38

A few years ago Nick was filming in this area, staying in a local hotel, there was a disco held one evening, he stood at the bar and eyed up every female, quite openly looking at each one. He approached my younger daughter and said ‘ May I buy you a drink?’, she replied ‘no thank you ‘, he then said shall we dance’ again ‘no thank you’ then would you join me for a meal’ again ‘ no thank you ‘, he went back to the bar, not long and back he came ‘l am drawn to blondes have a drink with me, I am not use to hearing no’, she was now realy annoyed and snapped ‘ I don’t ‘do’ MDF’.

End of.

John comes across as a really lovely man, devoted to his parents and his husband, who he has been with for 25 years. I have serious envy of him having a lovely house in Palm Springs, one of our favourite places to visit. I hope he wins but suspect Harry or Emily may. Emily is playing to the cameras a little too much but I suppose that is the object of the show, she was very annoying during the doll challenge, even Harry told her to get on with it. Fleur is way too OTT for me, the constant ‘Oh my God’ with a long pause between each word, her laughter and bounciest seems very forced and she is very pushy about doing the challenges, just not my cup of tea. EllanVannin I can believe your friend’s story about Nick, he loved himself way too much and does he seriously think his voice is worth listening to?

Jane10 Sat 08-Dec-18 12:51:51

I actually voted last night! Thought I should put my money where my mouth is!

KatyK Sat 08-Dec-18 12:48:18

I feel a bit sorry for James. He is being pilloried on social media this morning over his chat with Harry suggesting that some of the camp mates were 'acting for the camera'. I'm sure there were a lot more things that were said that weren't picked up.

Anniebach Sat 08-Dec-18 09:58:01

It was emotional, for a moment I thought John was going to walk , he dissolved when he met his husband.

DanniRae Sat 08-Dec-18 09:44:16

I really enjoyed Friday's show when they all met up with love ones hiding in the jungle. I found it very emotional and had a little cry!

Anniebach Fri 07-Dec-18 22:20:44

James out , Harry and James in the bottom two ?

Anniebach Fri 07-Dec-18 22:02:45

James and Harry were enjoying a little bitch about John ,

Jane10 Fri 07-Dec-18 21:25:45

Yes. Fingers crossed.

Anniebach Fri 07-Dec-18 20:59:54

Hope John or Emily don’t go tonight

EllanVannin Fri 07-Dec-18 19:35:08

I've laughed at Harry, but I'd like to see John win.
I've never liked Nick since my friend told me how mean and inconsiderate he was.
My friend and her late husband lived in Cyprus and the husband did taxiing and one day drove to the airport to pick-up Nick Knowles and take him to the hotel where he was staying.
My friend's late H carried all the suitcases into the hotel on arrival there and just about got a thankyou-----no tip !

Pittcity Fri 07-Dec-18 15:56:11

I love Harry. He's genuine old school.
Did you see the celebrity dinner programme where he couldn't send a text and knew that his wife wouldn't reply anyway?
