Anyone tuned in to this. I did last night. What a debacle. Is there nothing they won’t do for money?. Ruby Wax has had some sort of face lift, unbelievable.. Contestand just sticking their faces in mountains of animal entrails, blood and guts everywhere. I think they would eat dirt. .Jack Osbourne is the most grounded and likeable and also Lisa Riley, still they went in. The others not so. They are all wealthy people, they don't need the money, its not character building in anyway, I do not get it..Is it just any publicity is better than none. Cannot see how it will do Kelly any favours whatsoever.

I too think Tom should have won. He has been unfailingly kind, helpful and considerate all the way through. I think what really made me choose him, though, was the way he spoke and acted. He was just a breath of fresh air, and so different, and so funny.
That said, they were all good in their own way.
I couldn’t believe the massive amount of votes! In spite of people saying before that it was past it’s sell-by date, those votes have proved them wrong. It might even go on for another 25 years! If it does, it’ll have to do it without me!

I loved Tom, but I was glad for Ginge. I don't think he is a non enterty, he has a large social media following, only one my Grandson had heard off, he was not that foul mouthed compared to what I have heard other years.
Tom was my favourite, but I think younger people had other ideas.

Tom was the best.

LadyGracie Sun 07-Dec-25 22:44:38

So pleased Ginge won!

Smileless2012 Sun 07-Dec-25 22:43:15

Well I really wanted Tom but Ginge was so pleased wasn't he.

Really enjoyed it.

crazyH Sun 07-Dec-25 22:37:40

That’s ok too

crazyH Sun 07-Dec-25 22:37:14

It’s Ginge !

crazyH Sun 07-Dec-25 22:34:19

Tom to win !

Allira Sun 07-Dec-25 22:26:15

Ginger? Why?
Potty-mouthed nonentity.

LadyGracie Sun 07-Dec-25 19:17:48

I want Ginge to win.

Bukkie Sun 07-Dec-25 18:53:48

I really wanted Lisa to win, such a joyous person. I have liked them all this year even Ginge and Aitch who I had never heard of before.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 07-Dec-25 17:51:57

It’s Tom for me 👍🏻

Grandmadinosaur Sun 07-Dec-25 17:15:23

I’d love to see Tom win too.

Anniebach Sun 07-Dec-25 14:20:06

I so want Tom to win

Smileless2012 Sun 07-Dec-25 13:44:37

I'm expecting Ginge to win Jane but keeping everything crossed for Tom.

Really enjoyed 'cyclone' last night and looking forward to tonight's episode. Fingers crossed for Tom.

I wish Jack had been able to join in that challenge, he said he wanted to. Of those left I would like Tom to win but apparently Ginge has lots of followers who will probably vote for him.

I thought Jack suffered fromMS so how can he do any of the trials?

There are different types of MS, Jack has relapsing-remitting MS so he has periods when he relapses and periods when he is in remission. If lifestyle changes are made such as lowering stress, a healthy diet and regular exercise is taken then this type of MS can be managed. In recent years Jack has done shows based on adventure and travel which seem to have improved his health, he used to carry much more weight when he did The Osbournes reality show, it was evident from the trial where he had to go underwater that he is very fit. When a meeting with his wife and youngest daughter was shown it was evident that he is a devoted father, his little girl obviously adores him. Despite his unconventional upbringing Jack is a credit to his family.

It's the same old, same old, every year and this year, I notice the audience figures are well down. I wish ITV would stop wasting money on programmes with second rate celebrities and spend some money on decent dramas, Unlike a reality show, you can watch repeats of a really good drama and buy Blu Rays.

My sister-in-law has MS but still often has an active life.

Yes, he could, I think. A friend had a similar form to him, sometimes she had relapses, sometimes she was fine for months or years. In fact, she had two babies years after problems started but before she had an actual diagnosis.

He is presumably going through a remission phase at the moment. I do hope any treatments he is having are helping him.

No contestants are hurt or frightened. They may have to face things they would rather not face. They are getting well paid, some rumoured to be getting £250,000. Their relatives stay in a luxurious beach side hotel which the contestants go back to after elimination. A couple of weeks of 'hardship' is well worth it.

I agree some of the comments do sound snobbish. I think most people enjoy a bit of fairly undemanding light entertainment.

However, I find it troubling that people find enjoyment from watching other people having to carry out disgusting challenges and/or being frightened or hurt. I don't call that light entertainment and I wonder if anyone recalls the TV 1960s play entitled The Year of the Sex Olympics - a warning of what can happen when people become more and more desensitised to, and demanding of, viewing very extreme/cruel human behaviour.

It's the old story - ANY publicity is better than no publicity. There's desperate for you.
