Is Jimmy Bullard ruining the show?

YES for me.

All the camera-hogging, play-acting, loudmouthing, awful attempts at "banter" are getting beyond a joke now. Not only is he turning off viewers he's also doing his campmates' heads in.

Honestly I'd rather have Gemma Collins back than suffer this baffoon, and I never thought I'd say that.

    He must be a bit trying to live with, but I don't mind the odd burst of shouty singing and even plate banging on tv. I do think the others are very patient about it, especially since he seems to do it in the mornings when they are still asleep. Let's not wish for Gemma back though. The combination of endless complaining and excruciating self-promotion was unwatchable.

    The OP has an obvious problem with Jimmy.

    I don't mind Jimmy at all but I can see how he would do peoples heads in. He strikes me as someone with a very low boredom threshold who needs to be entertained 24/7 and so creates his own amusement when there is nothing else on offer.

    If the Wombats lose the final trial, he'll be among those up for eviction.

    Although I had never heard of him before IAC, I have warmed to him. At least he is doing something, along with Foggy and Jake! Michael, Vicky, Tinchy and Nadia may as well not be there for all they have contributed.

    Agree with this.

    Have worked with people similar to Jimmy and they can be really annoying, but they are full of energy and entertaining. It's a bit of a relief when they a not around, but their absence makes the office quiet and boring and they end up being missed more than most other colleagues would be.

    Mildly amusing for a start, now he's trying too hard and just coming across as a loud-mouthed show off.

    He seems alright, but he's really getting on my nerves now.

    I hate the way that the show focuses on one or two campers such as Jimmy, and pretty much ignore other campers who hardly feature in the edit.

    I do too. I don't care if they're boring show us that they are boring. Then I can decide who I like and who I don't with better judgement. As it is I like Tinchy and Nadia, despite only seeing a little of them and Jimmy, Kendra and Jake are irritating me beyond belief.

    Luckily Twitter is never truly indicative of the majority of the viewing public.

    Perhaps Twitter users are less bitter than DS forum members.

    You didn't, but what led you to believe that Twitter is not truly indicative of the majority of the viewing public. I would have thought it represented a fairly wide selection of the UK public.

    A fairly wide selection yes. I'm a celeb appeals to a wider selection than Twitter does. I know plenty of people that don't have Twitter and do watch I'm a Celeb.

    Twitter is often out of touch with what is really popular ie: X Factor Acts.

    I don't see how I'm a Celeb is different.

    He's fun :D And seems really sweet. He's the only reason I'm watching, everyone else is boring.

    One thing I can do without is his over competitive behaviour, but I guess being a sportsman he can't help it.

    I think part of the problem with Jimmy is the editing. It seems the producers have decided it is the now Jimmy,Carl & Kendra show and none of the others count (except perhaps Jake).

    But with most of the editing concentrating on that group, who knows what Vicky, Nadia, and Tinchey might really be like? They may be just as active - and a lot more usefully - in camp than Jimmy, Carl & Kendra, but the producers/editors clearly choose not to include them.

    It's all down to the editing I assume, surely Tinchy must have said something interesting by now but we've never been shown it. The same, but a little less so with Vicky and Nadia, we hardly see or hear from them.

    the Twitter demographic is not representative of the UK as a whole. The percentage of I'maceleb viewers on Twitter is very small. Just think about it. Is your mum on twitter? Is your granny on Twitter?

    Thought not ;-)

    He is spoiling it for me, yes. His mindless infantile attention-seeking behaviour is irritating and boring in equal measure. I'm so sick of this buffoonery.
