This show is appalling this year!Joe Swash comes across as thick as 2 short planks and up his own arse. Justin should ask him live on air why he has been slagging him off all week, then watch the swash squirm! this show is about capitalising on the main show with bad comedy that really isnt funny and the "panel" doing lots of shouting!

I watched it once and turned it off straight away. All I saw was about 5 people all shouting trying to get a word in edge ways

In your opinion

IMO it's the best after show they have had.

btw: Joe was a small part of the whole show, did you even notice the others

100% agree with this.

I think Russell's hilarious, i've always liked Joe (although he can be irritating at times) & Caroline's competent enough.

I like it!

Prefer these lot better than the annoying Tara P-Tomkinson & the boring Willis's.

caroline is fine, Joe doens't know the first thing about presenting and it shows. Russell was ok the first time. the panelists are awful, this week have a bloke on can't remember his name who is just not funny at all! all the other panelists have just been loud and obnoxious

Aww cmon, Janice Dickinson, Janet Street Porter and Keith Lemon.
This is a dream team of panelists.
What is it with people these days feeling the need to put down people who express non-pc views.
I agree this has been the funniest ITV2 show yet.
Same goes for X Factor, the guests (and even the judges) are a lot more open on the ITV2 show and make for much better viewing.

I agree, Joe Swash should be ashamed of himself and the likes of Keith Lemon and Janet Street Porter have such big mouths and are just so full of themselves! What a nasty lot of people they have had on there this year!

Caroline Flack's been an excellent presenter IMO and after a shaky start Russell Kane's take on proceedings has given me many a laugh. Janice Dickinson, Nicola McLean and Michael Underwood were good value as panellists and the second week of the show I thought was pretty good.

However it's been in freefall the last week with the highly annoying and completely unfunny Keith Lemon hogging the camera too much of the time, along with Janet Street Porter who has hardly a good word to say about anyone. Added to this pair of irritants we've had Joe Swash's pathetic little vendetta against Justin. All adding up to not the best of viewing experiences.

It's been a mess this week, but, though I don't like them, I don't blame the panellists. It's about direction. There aren't enough established procedures and courtesies. Once a person is asked a question, they should be allowed to answer; and not every question should be turned into laughs, which makes it impossible for someone like Michelle de Swarte to register. Flack needs to talk more slowly to have a calming influence on the conversation, but her excitable delivery transfers itself to the panellists and becomes the house style. Everything is rushed, and it needn't be because the programme is long enough.

Who's the slightly chubby guy who starts the show off with a 'funny' skit thing? He's so desperate to be Russell Brand, it's toe curling. And in his desperation he bought some Brand-style skinny jeans and poured himself into them, despite that fact that he can't seem to stand up in them right.

I think shows like this work best when they have a public panel within the studio, like BBBM and Xtra Factor, so they should have kept it in the UK, and had Australian corespondents. I hated Joe's bullying of Justin and how they all joined in. Caroline's not great, she was so impatient with Janice Dickinson!

I agree that Russell Kane is hard to watch, but having to write new stand up every day is a pretty tall order for him. A good stand up needs a sense of authority over his audience, but Kane is nervous, which is fatal: it results in a hurried performance where the jokes aren't given space to breathe. However, this is a common problem with new comedians, and he'll progress. To be fair, Kane does write the occasional storming one liner. For example: "When George said goodbye, I thought Kim was actually going to squirt oestrogen into his face".

Agree with all this, pretty much exactly as I feel, thanks for saying it for me!

The production/direction values were dire but I think Caroline Flack and Russel Kane did their best under the circs. And hopefully this will be the last time we have to see Swash's ugly vindictive mug on tv.

I agree. All the vitriol he spouted against Justin, who seemed a perfectly nice decent guy, was totally appalling.

I really like the XFactor after show and always liked the BB after shows too so I feel I really ought to like this one but I really don't.
I must admit I haven't watched the show for a while now, but I gave it a try at the start and frankly I was bored rigid.

I loath excessive PCness (is that a word?) but this show just seems to lack any kind of intelligence at all.
Even BBs big mouth which takes a fair amount of stick has an edge to it which suggests some thought goes into the show, Swash and co though seem to be badly out of their depth and the others seem to have sunk to their level.

Joe Swash apart I enjoyed the now show this year, much better than the last couple of series.

Yes - and wasn't the ending totally rushed tonight. Caroline cut Gino off half way through the sentence, then says its all over and see you next year. Couldn't they have timed it a bit better!

This show was disgracefully done. The hatred for Justin in particular was totally uncalled for. He is a nice fellow and that idiotic nasty panel were like a bunch of school bullies towards him. The comedian was unfunny and bases all his material on humiliating other people. Janet Street Porter was at her very worst and Joe Swash proved that he really is a rather nasty character. As for Keith Lemon, what a narcisitic waste of space.

The final episode of this rubbish ITV2 show had virtually no references to the actual trials and daily life in the jungle. It was just a slagging match by the childish panel towards the dignified bemused group of celebrities who had been in actual the jungle. How I wished that Joe Bugner had swiped at Swash for real.

First of all, can I make it perfectly clear that I couldnt bare to watch IAC ITV2, either.
But what most people seem to forget is that Keith Lemon is a stupid character created by Lee Francis, He was supposed to act and behave like a complete prat!
If ITV2 had asked him to appear as himself, it would have been totally different.
I think if they'd asked for one of his Bo Selecta characters, it would have been funnier! especially Mel B!
