    My major issue with Kayla is that she has no sense of humour.
    Dom did mention that and I totally agree with him.

    He's very, very rude and ignorant. It really annoyed me when he was telling Kayla she didn't know the meaning of the word snob when she clearly did. He also fell for the most obvious choice of it being Nigel when Kayla knew it was her. Glad she stood up for herself.

    He's one of those blokes who has a brain but not nearly as big as he thinks it is and wants to come across as not being interested in the 'pretty girl'. If she had pandered to him from when he arrived he'd be a simpering mess now. But, luckily, she has his measure.

    Kayla's in there because she's a playboy bunny. For him to go on about her and her bikinis is pathetic. It's her job for goodness sake.
    :p
    havent seen that one in the job centre recently:p

    I find her extremely irritating after a few minutes of her on my TV per day.
    I imagine if I were there with her 24/7, hungry, bored, in damp living conditions, then I might talk about her behind her back with others there and you would all think I was an extremely horrible person when in reality I am totally lovely and without any faults whatsoever :)

    i do wonder how dom made it in the comedy world. his humour is so boring! it just consists of light bitching. and he seems to believe he is king of the jungle, gone right off him

    I have never seen or heard of him before the jungle, same goes for Agro, who is this guy!? Do i want to seem more of them after the jungle, NO!

    It's not just Kayla he dislikes either - he seems to have taken against Aggro too, but Aggro is a bit too laid back to rise to any baiting, imo.

    I'm with him on both counts.

    Not saying he's handling it well but we only see snippets don't we?

    He seems to get along extremely well with Stacey, Jenny and Shaun.

    He was one of my favourites but the last couple of days i've gone right off him, the way he is with Kayla feels like a posh school ground bully who believes he's superior in intelligence and above their conversations.

    Maybe Dom thinks Kayla is competition for the Jungle crown and is just trying to discredit her.
    By winding her up, it makes a scene, gets some airtime for him, then by pointing out her 'faults' to the camera he hopes that the footage put the viewers off of her.

    Maybe he just thinks she is irritating, self-absorbed and dull?

    Jenny shouted at him over trying to take over the chest when she and Kayla returned from the task. Stacey tries to hide her annoyance, but it shows in her face. The camera catches her expression. Don't just go by her bush telegraph performances. Watch more closely. Desperate Dom is grating, but most of them are pretending he isn't.

    Whe he used to do his 'comedy' program, which basically involved making normal people going about their lives look like tossers for no apparent reason he invariably chose pensioners or women for his targets

    He is a natural coward/bully.

    He can be funny when he has been acerbic but there is an undercurrent that he really means it.

    He does not like Kayla because she challenges his humour, might be a cultural thing as the Brits know he is on a wind up and ignore it.

    Add conceited.

    I had to laugh when she said people would assume she was a snob before they meet her because people assume that of "hot girls".

    I get the feeling being picked on by any man (Dom is not alone in being less than tolerant of Kayla), particular in the presence of another young woman who isn't being treated the same, really grates on her. If she thinks as much of herself to have said what she said, she probably thought she would have every man in the camp as an ally.

    I think he really fancies her and he hates himself for it because she thinks everyone fancies her and that winds him up. He wishes he didn't but he can't help himself and it infuriates him.

    Dom will say what he thinks about other people, and often it is quite acerbic. He'll also try to push their buttons. That's what makes him a good character in a show like this, because you need a source of conflict at times.

    In complete fairness to Dom - he did clearly say that Kayla is irritating him and: "“She’s really annoying me for no reason at all - it’s totally not her fault, it’s mine.”

    He's bored and irritable, but he's still much better viewing than either Kayla or Aggro.

    Yes he is bored and irritable ....as are most of them now. However, If you have resort to bringing people down and being downright rude to amuse yourself........then you should leave.

    I said earlier that I thought he was clever......I now detract that statement as true intelligence doesn't rely on propping yourself up at the expense of others.

    This would be a shrewd observation were it true.

    Sadly, it's inaccurate rubbish !!

    I suggest you re-visit these shows and scan it's 'targets' for their tears and anger ratio versus their bewilderment and laughter response.

    If you are going about your everyday life and you CAN be made to look a tosser, then you probably deserve to be made to look like one.

    Dom Joly also used to target a few [far from vulnerable] 'celebrities' in Trigger Happy from right across the spectrum.

    Frederick Forsyth.

    Ken Hom

    Vivien Westwood

    Bob [blockbusters] Holness [who?]

    Leo Sayer

    Tony Robinson

    Peter Stringfellow

    John Mcririck

    etc...etc...

    Here is a short summary from Wikipedia about the kind of things Dom Joly got up to on Trigger Happy T.V
    * The definitive sketch of the series sees Joly in a public location, such as an Internet cafe,or a restaurant. A Nokia ring tone sound comes on and Joly will stand up holding a comically enormous mobile phone and scream "HELLO?!" into it. He will then proceed to slowly exit as he yells conversational dialogue about what he is doing, which usually ends with the words "yeah it's rubbish... ciao!".

    * A random customer about to enter a grocery store is told by Joly (with several women) that he is the millionth customer and gets anything he can get in his cart in one minute for free. The customer proceeds to speed through the store filling up his cart while Joly and the other actors remove the set and quickly leave.

    * Joly is seen dressed in a burglar costume standing outside of a house. He asks passersby to borrow a ladder. On one instance he asks a man to hold the ladder for him while he climbs down, but once on the ground runs away screaming, "We burgled the house! Me and him just burgled the house!" — leaving the man holding the ladder.

    * Joly, dressed in a porkpie hat and white jumpsuit, walks up to a couple sitting on a bench in a park. He proceeds to do a terrible Morris dance. He then stops and calmly places his hand out as if asking for change.

    * Joly is seen in a laundrette with boxer shorts and an undershirt on, and wearing a hockey mask on his face, à la Jason Voorhees. He stuffs a bloody jumpsuit into the washer.

    * Outside an incongruous location (such as a pornography shop or public toilet) a crowd has gathered, complete with horn players and a television crew. When a customer leaves the shop fanfare erupts and an interviewer tells the person they are the millionth customer.

    * Joly stands in front of an enormous picture of himself plastered against a wall that says "Do not trust this man!", but still manages to get passersby to talk to him and do things for him. In one memorable sketch, somebody actually comes up to him and asks him for directions.

    * People sit down to have Joly, dressed as a French artist, paint their portrait. Rather than actually painting the portrait, Joly paints a comical phrase or picture on the canvas and walks away, leaving the customer sitting in the pose with a funny message in front of them.

    * Persons are stopped at random on the street and asked to take a blindfolded taste test of a new cola. Once the person is blindfolded and given a cola in each hand, the interviewer and crew silently walk away leaving the person standing there.
    Sometimes a noticeably different crew replaces the original one.

    * Joly lands an interview with a British celebrity, but while talking to them is gradually distracted by an enemy, stomps off in anger, chases after an ardent fan who has just kissed him, is kidnapped right in front of the interviewee by a van of hoodlums, or has some other kind of mishap.

    * Joly, disguised in trench coat, dark glasses and hat plays the role of an KGB spy. In some situations he approaches someone on a park bench and attempts to hand them his suitcase using code words such as "grey squirrel" and "red fox"(in which case an actor in a red fox costume walks past the victim in the background) to the bewilderment of the member of the public. The most elaborate set up involved an unsuspecting phone-box user becoming the centerpiece of a bizarre money exchange laced with secret codes involving a "nun" and a "doctor".

    * Joly, dressed as a Swiss tourist, holding a Phrasebook, asks a person a distorted request, such as "Where may I go to empty my bottom?" (go to the toilet). Some people laugh; others genuinely try and help him.

    * Various sketches involving actors in animal costumes copulating, urinating, or violently assaulting others, in the presence of ordinary people. The actors in animal costumes are some of the more famous of the sketches.

    * Other examples are the "___-a-gram" services, wherein Joly delivers an actor in costume to an innocuous business location (often a laundromat) and the actor proceeds to stand in the corner, looking completely forlorn and sighing often after Joly leaves.

    * Assuming the role of a park-keeper, Joly attempts to vilify elderly park goers, accusing them of behaving like young hooligans. Each sketch starts with the park-keeper saying that he had been "tipped off" and that someone "matching your description" was acting improperly (setting off fireworks, doing graffiti, joyriding, etc) When the elderly victim pleads innocence, the park-keeper relentlessly continues his interrogation.

    * Joly, dressed as a traffic warden, accuses motorists stopped in traffic or at traffic lights being illegally parked much to their amazement. This over-zealous jobsworth repeats his mantra, "not on my patch, never" even to a street cleaner and forces him to move his wheelbarrow of equipment away from the double-yellow lines.

    * Joly also stops buses at bus stops, and presents them with parking tickets. Ironically, this happened in real life some years later.

    * Joly or other actors wearing "fat suits" and trying to fit into tight places, such as a telephone booth or narrow alleyway. One memorable example included Joly and another actor in fat suits holding up an entire escalator full of people.

    She's all those things - but that doesn't excuse being nasty and rude to her.

    She does have a sense of humour though. If you're referring to dunnygate, when Aggro and Linford started with "I bet it was Kayla who did it!" you could see her laughing about it with them at first. Then the editing switched (and time must have passed) because then she looked pissed off and Dom was still going on about it accusing her.

    Especially elderly people eating ice creams in a park !!

    These are the people who fought world war 2.

    Even in their dotage, I'm sure they are more than capable of handling some erroneous, ill-founded 'interrogation' from a fat park keeper....or worse still....a spontaneous outbreak of rather crap morris dancing.
