Goodness me she looks so starved and drawn and unhealthily thin . She could do with some decent, nourishing food .

Being underweight is just as unhealthy as being overweight .

    Yes I was thinking she does look a bit drawn. She is 44 - I think you can carry the 'gaunt look' a little better in your twenties - at 44 she could do with a bit more meat on her bones (IMHO).

    Jimmy and Foggy also look unhealthily thin...I hope you have the same concern for them.

    Goes to show men can be too fat or too thin and no one cares but women are always scrutinised.

    We do indeed have a lot of scrawny people in camp this year with lots of ribs showing, so would prefer if they kept their shirts on .

    No one can forget Michael - his ribs are like a xylophone.

    The image of his ribcage and concave chest is burned into my retinas.

    They all seem to have lost a lot of weight in a short space of time

    Yes, Michael was the one who struck me as looking unhealthily scrawny a couple of days ago. Mel is very gaunt looking around the face, but her body is more muscular than skinny I think.

    Ach they're fine. I'd rather look at scrawny than blubber that's for sure. Maybe we all just got used to people being fat. It's not natural to be fat. Lean is healthy, particularly when you're older.

    Yes I think that Mel, Michael and Jimmy seems to have lost loads, they are looking very gaunt and Mel looks really hungry.

    MIchael "Tenko" Burke is a sight to behold but yes most of them do look on the scrawny side. Maybe that's the real reason Gemma Collins baled so early.

    sadly true maybe when the public are no longer allowed to vote for "Useless Kendra" for the trials they will be better fed ( I am convinced the Shed of Dread was set up to give them food as the producers knew K would fail yet again)

    Gemma wouldn't have lasted because as a fat person she's used to consuming far more calories than an average person. Her stomach is probably the size of two peoples.
    Gemma would've experienced much worse hunger pains than the other celebs. It would've affected her much worse. She would've felt faint and dizzy within hours of arriving.

    If she would have stayed she would have eaten Michael Buerk. Although that probably wouldn't be a very satisfying meal. :o

    IMO that "s" should be removed, for greater accuracy. :D

    Mel is stressed you can see it in her body language,she had too much emotional baggage on her mind to be placed into the jungle at this time,it would not take much to throw her off hilter,she looks very run down.

    Well if she had stayed in she would have lost 2-3 stone by now (her words not mine)?
    Just shows how deluded she was. It's only for 3 weeks lol

    It's a shame Gemma didn't stick it out. She would have been down to 22 st by now..

    She looked so scary on day 1. I know cause I was reminded of people of over 95 when they get a face that looks more like a skeleton when I saw her first. I find it hard to look at her and that ugly huge vain on her forehead is even more creepy.

    I assume it was planned before hand to get them food for the day we missed because of the football otherwise what else would they do just give them 10 meals?

    As she fades, her teeth appear to be growing. At this rate she will have a bigger overbite than Duane Dibbley.

    Well, Rosemary Schrager lost over 4st in her year! She actually holds the record for most weight lost by a campmate in the show!

    I wonder how long it took her to put it all back again? Unfortunately weight lost in such an unnatural fashion rarely stays lost unless the person involved changes their former eating/drinking habits completely.

    I thought you meant like in Back to the Future and was all worried, but it wasn't that.

    Seriously though, they always do lose weight - its to be expected, especially if someone is slim anyway and I believe are monitored to make sure they are OK.
