Anyone up for watching the worlds most hated man in the jungle?😂

It’ll be interesting to see how he interacts with the others.

99.9% of the world won’t have heard of Farage. English exceptionalism again, which is apt in terms of NF. He knows nothing about the EU apart from taking money from them and doing nothing.

Not sure. Probably?
But I dont watch just for one person.
And I whizz some trials[especially the eating ones].
I prefer the gentler ones, like dodge an emu or something.

99 % of the world wont have heard of any of them.

I thought the first episode was good 👍🏻

I am never keen on the first episode because they havent established relationships and dislikes yet

No, not watching - N F gives me the creeps.
Can a few weeks of discomfort really be worth £1.5 million?

As mentioned by Galaxy 99% of the world’s population won’t have heard of any of them and last time I looked, the programme was made by a British television company to be shown in Britain. So what’s meant by English exceptionalism? Additionally apart from one contestant, the others are all British.

I didn't know who the blonde girl was so looked her up, an Eastenders actress I think. She looked quite different from her publicity shots (much nicer in fact!).
She and the others have my admiration for climbing down that building at Surfers' Paradise - not something I could have done!

No, not watching - N F gives me the creeps.

Wouldn't you enjoy watching him eat bugs, in amongst a tank of snakes? 😁

Actually, I've rarely watched it apart from wanting to see a bit of Australia, but this thread got me interested

I know the OP has explained her choice of words for the title of this thread, and I personally have a consummate dislike of Farage, but I still think calling him the world's most hated man is offensive.

That description should really be reserved for those individuals who have been responsible for unspeakable crimes against humanity - those individuals who will, indeed, be known to a large portion of the world.

Farage may be an opinionated, right-wing, windbag, but he does not fall into that category.

More relevant is the question - why is he doing this (£££)? To me, anyone who is a high-profile politician / figure in public life loses an awful lot of credibility when they agree to humiliate themselves with these "endurance" stunts. For money.

A real and honest test of their endurance would be for them to elect to live on the streets with the homeless for a year without access to money, a mobile phone, family or friends - and not be followed by a camera lens.

... and then come back and tell us how they got on.

Anyone up for watching the worlds most hated man in the jungle? 😂

Well, I wondered who was lost in the jungle when I saw the heading - there are a few to choose from but Farage didn't immediately spring to mind!

Why do they call it a jungle? 😠
It's a rainforest

I always watch it regardless of who is on it. I find it very entertaining and it makes me laugh. Nigel Farage certainly won't put me off watching it. Like him or not, makes no difference to me. It's just a tv programme.
I recorded it last night so haven't seen it yet.

Haha, I knew a thread would appear on here at some point about this.
I often watch some of this, but don’t normally watch every episode it goes on rather a long time.
Anyway I’ll definitely be watching. I need to watch tonight as I don’t have a clue who the other celebrities are, so not sure that they really are celebrities. So I’ll watch tonight and probably mostly watch after that. I’m looking forward to seeing Nigel Farage and how he copes in the jungle and with the other celebrities people.
I missed it last year as we were in New Zealand with our daughter, so no idea who was in it or who won. So it’s two years since I watched it.

I lied!
I’m so sorry. I did watch it last year. I thought we’d gone to NZ before it was on, but we must have gone afterwards because I remember watching Matt Hancock, and wasn’t Boy George on too? It must have been on earlier, because we left for NZ on 30th November last year, and it was obviously all over by then. It won’t have finished that early this year as it’s already 20th November now.

Ive never watched this show any more than I would watch Big Brother. For me the entertainment and intellectual content are nil.

I also like Farage and agree with many of his views.

I like Farage, he says it as it is and he actually has a big following

Having a big following is no indicator or guarantee of probity though, is it?

Farage is someone i definitely do not like. I dont watch the jungle anyway. In Scots he would best be described as a “wee nyaff”.

For me the entertainment and intellectual content are nil.

I don’t think anybody watches it for its intellectual content! 😂

😂😂😂

After concentrating on more intellectual programmes, it's sometimes a relief to watch a bit of rubbish.

Although I watched the skyscraper bit with my eyes shut.

maddyone I was referring to the title of this thread - describing Farage as the “worlds most hated man” when 99.9% of the world won’t have heard of him is an example of English exceptionalism - assuming that England represents / is superior to the whole world somehow.

^ "The worlds most hated man" when 99.9% of the world won't have heard of him is an example of English exceptionalism - assuming that England represents/ is superior to the whole world somehow^

No CocoCoco it's an example of my odd sense of humour, and the fact that I have to write things very quickly these days, as my memory fails me, which leads to many a mistake. .

BTW I consider myself British.

I’d call it a figure of speech Namsnanny and certainly not meant to be taken literally. This is a programme made by the British, for a British audience, and featuring mainly British performers. It’s light hearted and not in any way claiming itself to be English exceptionalism, nor are you claiming English expressionism in your light hearted title.

Why is he the most hated man in the world? I like him.

no, loathsome man
