Confession ….. I have never watched more than a few minutes of this prog but this time around I plan to because Fred Sirieix, Grace Dent and Nigel Farage are in it which should be interesting.

Joseann

Grace Dent has quit.
Was she due to do a trial?

I hadn’t heard that but not surprised. She looked absolutely dreadful and I wouldn’t be surprised if she was fasting or cutting back before she even went into the jungle. I read her book and I do believe she mentioned she had issues with her weight from a young age.

She grew up eating beige foods, chip butties, aunt Bessies roast potatoes and yorkshire puds. The book is called “Hungry”.

yes grace quit on health grounds.

grace and josie were picked to do a joint trial!
josie looked devastated that she was picked. grace just looked ill and frail

I thought Nigel did brilliantly with those awful drinks. I could not have managed one!
Britney Spears sister has soon got over missing her kids so much. 🤣
Sam is rather annoyingly hyperactive.
Nella is friends again with Fred and I think she has this all planned out.
The Eastenders girl doesn’t do or say much.

Eastender girl is boring!

Sam suffers from ADHD which can make him hyperactive, also could make him anxious and have difficulty with focus and organisation. Probably he is more inclined towards the hyperactive side, but ADHD affects people in different ways.

She hasn't done any eating trials

I know that!

Shinamae Mon 27-Nov-23 11:24:08

I do think Nick and Frankie were hilarious, trying to get the treats…😂

I didn’t know that but it is fairly obvious having known many ADHD and hyper kids.

I’ve not read all the comments or seen all of last night’s show yet but think Jamie Lynn is coming across very well. She’s surprised me. She seems genuinely interested in her campmates and I think she’ll go a long way.

Anybody else notice how Grace turned grey and covered her eyes and sat completely still when any of the drinking or eating Tasks were on.

I wonder if she is bulimic because when one of them was throwing up she looked very distressed. It says in her book that she used to diet for days and try to exist on 800 calories a day so she would look good at the weekend but she was starving.
She also said that all the women in her family are on the plump side with big busts and that’s how she is if she doesn’t watch everything she eats.

Very surprised they let her on the prog if they knew of her eating disorder. Maybe she didn’t tell them.
I really hope she gets over this and gets the help she deserves.

That surprises me too Primrose but a psychological evaluation depends on the truthfulness of the answers given.

A good over view of the game so far Primrose53.

grace left due to mental health issue not physical according to news

JaneJudge Mon 27-Nov-23 21:01:19

Primrose I noticed she completely zoned out too. I wondered if she had an ED or emetaphobia(if that is how you spell it!)

An update on Grace Dent’s health reveals the English journalist’s journey with a specific medical condition. Dent has been diagnosed with grade II pilocytic astrocytoma, a type of brain tumor. This particular tumor falls under the category of slow-growing gliomas that originate from glial cells in the brain. While the diagnosis may bring challenges, Dent remains resilient and optimistic about her health and well-being. Although she has not provided further details about the current status of her brain cancer, Dent’s positive outlook serves as a testament to her strength and determination.

i don’t call that a reliable source. Nothing at all on mainstream.

Let’s hope it is wrong.

EastEnders girl is called Danielle and did really well in the trial tonight.

Shinamae Mon 27-Nov-23 22:26:32

I am definitely warming to Nella…..

The sight of a fat woman twerking is enough to make me throw up. Just find it revolting.

Why are they still stalking Nigel as he washes himself? It's rude and intrusive and I think they hope to humiliate him. They have not shown any other campmates washing. As previously noted, it would be considered abusive and racist if they filmed Nella in the bath or tending to her ablutions. So why is it acceptable to target one person?

If your offended by fat women and naked butts there's an off button.
Farage is well aware of the cameras, he's probably the most publicity hungry in there. His 'team' back in the UK are also objecting in order to keep him in the headlines here. He knows exactly what he's doing, though doubtless he'll be last to admit it. Since he said he wanted maximum exposure and lots of trials the public aren't voting for him and he doesn't want to fade into the background, though that seems to be where he's heading.

I saw an news item that said ITV thought Nigel Farage was quite popular with viewers for his efforts in the trials and that he could win which ITV executives did not want and on X there was a group that decided they would not watch the programme while Nigel was still in it. All quite childish and narrow minded in my view, but there you are. I like Joseann? She seems cheerful and pleasant. I have no idea why che is a celebrity as I only recognise Fred Framie and Nigel.

There's at least one person on this thread that said they wouldn't watch because Farage is in it. There are also some who are watching because he's in it. Josie is a TV presenter, love a Bristol accent!

Joseann Tue 28-Nov-23 07:27:42

I ike Joseann? She seems cheerful and pleasant.
Thanks, Anniel, you've made my day! 😆 🤣

I stopped watching because Nella was doing my head in, but gradually I've crept back. Things seem to have settled down nicely at the moment.
