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.

Shouting “I’m an immigrant, I’m one of them.”
She was born in Belgium 🤔

Doesn't she have dual nationality?

Joseann Wed 22-Nov-23 22:27:08

I'm fed up with all the attention focused on Nella. If she doesn't leave, I will give up on it. There must be more interesting topics amongst the camp mates to explore than her personal issues.
Jamie Lynne redeemed herself in the trial.

Just correcting myself as Nella came here from Belgium when she was 7 having been born there to Congolese parents.

jamie Lynne was fantastic. I wouldn’t have made it to the first platform. 🤣🤣

I'm getting to the stage where I'm not going to watch .

The only one worth watching tonight was Jamie Lynn.

Most of the others are extremely dull. Nigel has turned into Mrs Mopp. Nella is back to yelling. Sam, is it Sam?, is like an overgrown toddler. Josie is just sweet. I can't really remember any of the others
Oh Fred, not keen on him really.

And Ant and Dec are abysmal this year. I've loved them forever but it's gone.

Any chance they could take her back?

Any one know what the younger demographic, possibly Mnet's general take on the contestants is?

They’re welcome to Silkie for their supper. I’ve only tried it once, prepared and cooked by a butcher friend of ours. The grey/black flesh and purple blood put me off a bit. There’s not much meat on the bones either.

I like Josie - have you noticed her sucking her thumb ?

henetha Wed 22-Nov-23 23:32:46

Ant and Dec abysmal....no no no. They're great. Well, I like them anyway.

Chestnut Wed 22-Nov-23 23:44:06

Oh dear, Nella just repeating what she'd heard on the internet as a basis for forming an opinion and entering a discussion was classic! But is makes you wonder how many people actually do this.

Jamie Lynn was absolutely amazing! She seems pretty good with heights. I think Marvin would have died on this challenge. He managed the parachute jump but this would have been too much for someone with a fear of heights.

maddyone Wed 22-Nov-23 23:46:53

I started off liking Nella, but first it was Fred, now Nigel, who tomorrow? There’s an expression from the north, where I was brought up that suits the Nella situation exactly, it’s she needs to wind her neck in. Yes, exactly.

Jamie Lynn was excellent, I couldn’t have done that trial (actually I couldn’t do any of them.)

Don't worry, from what I've heard Nella will be the first out. She is very unpopular. Although of course there may be a million of her dopey fans voting for her. I'm not sure how devoted these 'followers' are to their idols as to whether they will all be voting for her. 🤔

Chestnut Thu 23-Nov-23 00:04:23

Here's a poll which shows Nella as least favourite camp mate at the moment, so it looks like she will be out first. Her bad behaviour really has sealed her own fate.

Joseann Thu 23-Nov-23 08:54:23

Thanks Chestnut, if not, you'll need to put an alert on here to tell me when she goes so I can start watching again. 😉 If I can be bothered by then!

tickingbird Thu 23-Nov-23 11:07:15

I can’t wait for her to go. Really putting me off watching. The blonde one with the plaits on top is terrified of saying anything - pathetic and Josie sucking her thumb turned my stomach. Grow up woman you’re on national television!

Aveline Thu 23-Nov-23 11:07:54

She was asleep. I suspect she doesn't know she's doing it.

Chestnut Thu 23-Nov-23 11:46:04

There seems to be a lot of online outrage and disgust over Josie sucking her thumb, but apparently lots of people do it and it's not harming anyone so I'm not sure why anyone should take offence.

Chestnut Thu 23-Nov-23 11:52:51

I'm really going off Danielle. She doesn't seem a very nice person, maybe has spent too much time on EastEnders. She has moved up to 2nd place after Nella in my leaving vote. 3rd Place is Grace Dent. Funny how they're all women, I wonder why. The men don't seem quite so annoying this time.

tickingbird Thu 23-Nov-23 13:17:59

When I saw Josie sucking her thumb she was awake

Thanks Chestnut for the stats. Although I suppose they change daily. I'm only reading GN discussing this, so I wondered what other groups thought. Seems very similar.
I wouldnt mind seeing Fred go.

My friend used to suck her thumb as an adult - married Mum of two, and a teacher. But not generally in public.

quite!

Thumb sucking carries on after a baby stops sucking it’s mother’s nipples. Josie is a big girl now and looks stupid doing it. I don’t even like seeing big kids or 4 or 5 sucking those big dummies that are popular now.

Callistemon21 Thu 23-Nov-23 20:33:53

Thumb sucking is more difficult to give up than a dummy (obviously 🙂)

lemsip Thu 23-Nov-23 21:31:49

I believe josie was asleep when sucking her thumb......

.. none of us know what we do when we are asleep and would be shocked if told by someone close.... once watch a docu; on this.
