Nigel Farage on I'm a Celeb etc (sorry forgotten the name of the show)
I've never watched it before, and I dont know any of the other contestants, but could be fun.
No doubt he will be given the most gruesome challenges.🤣

Never fear, ladies

We probably have far better lives than DrWatson

Wrong side of bed?

I don't mind Nigel farage and love the programme
I watch it every series.
Nella is so funny and giving me plenty of laughs which I need right now.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 22-Nov-23 09:42:31

Rather like DrWatson perhaps, I just don’t see the attraction in this or other ‘reality’ programmes. Each to their own.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 22-Nov-23 10:02:05

I always find that once posters start being rude and attacking others eg. get a life they have lost the argument.

LauraNorderr Wed 22-Nov-23 10:31:59

Funny how we can all go on and off people. Like Maddy I disliked Nella because she was so shouty, then warmed to her when she bravely ate all those horrid pizza toppings. Now I dislike her again after her being so petty and down right nasty over Fred’s innocent comment about being old enough to be her father.
I admit to being one of the ‘I won’t watch this twaddle’ brigade but am finding it quite interesting. Wish there was more of the interaction between the participants and less of the screaming and balking at the trials.

I used to like I'm a Celeb, but haven't watched it since it temporarily moved to Wales didn't the pandemic. Last year Hancock put me off, and this year is Farage. There's no way in earth I'd give that vile excuse of a human being a second of my viewing time. And in amazed at the amount of people on here that actually "like" him! Seems racism is alive and well in all age groups.....

Yes, but we only watched ten minutes of it between programmes, does that count?

‘Vile excuse of a human’? As far as I’m aware, NF hasn’t murdered anyone - how about Putin, Netanyahu, the leader of Hamas (don’t know his name)?
I don’t appreciate being called a racist. I couldn’t care less where people come from. The bottom line is that this country is overcrowded enough as it is.

What a dreadful spiteful remark about Nigel Farage - how can any one say that he is a vile human being?! Absolutely disgraceful and totally unnecessary!

Well said Bunty……….The vitriol spewing out on here about Nigel Farage is quite unnecessary and as for attacking other posters who like him (I certainly do) very spiteful

maddyone Wed 22-Nov-23 14:58:39

Farage is not vile, he simply holds a difficult point of view than many of us, and he pursued that opinion/belief vigorously.
Vile is a terrorist who attacks civilians and beheads them. Vile is a person called Putin who invaded a sovereign country and destroyed it. Vile is a child abuser, a murderer, a person who scams old people out of their meagre savings. Lots of vile people in the world but Farage isn’t one of them because you don’t agree with him.

Callistemon21 Wed 22-Nov-23 15:01:33

Well said, maddyone

I'm not at all a Farage fan and disagree with him on many (probably all!) points but I'd rather spend an evening arguing with him in the pub than with Putin, the leader of Hamas or indeed even Trump.

I’ll join you, Calli because he’s a good debater and unlike most politicians actually answers the questions.

But only if he’s buying the drinks!

GANNET Wed 22-Nov-23 15:32:01

Think I will watch it this year having read this thread. I bet he is the most interesting as he certainly isn’t stupid and isn’t frightened to debate with others which is a rarity these days. Too many people want to cancel instead.

Smileless2012 Wed 22-Nov-23 15:32:37

I have a life thanks DrWatson which I enjoy and one of things I enjoy about it is watching IACGMOOH.

Mine's a very large Sauvignon Blanc, Nigel, but GN only does a red!!

"Now, Nigel, do you ever have any regrets over your campaigns?"

^I'd further add that anyone watching this repetitive twaddle (& I do see a few mins here and there, changing channels) should get a life!^

Oooh! Get you!

😁 ooh, what an admittance! I use the Guide on the remote then i so don't accidentally turn over to any twaddle

Callistemon21 Wed 22-Nov-23 16:03:11

It's just a programme that is edited for the best viewing.

Louella 👍

Now, Nigel, do you ever have any regrets over your campaigns.

I think he misheard your request for SB, Calli and this pub only stocks Cava!

LauraNorderr Wed 22-Nov-23 16:50:44

Any port in a storm Merlotgran. What! No Port. Okay a Cava will do if suitably chilled.

Crikey, if you feel like that about someone you don’t even know, how would you feel about someone you do know and dislike. 🤔

Surely not!!
I like it but he won't buy me that - only a NZ sauv blanc or an Australian Shiraz, surely?
(I'm not paying.)
