..be exempt from the next days trial?

With the public once again voting for the same face in the trials, is it time for the shows producers to make it so you cannot have the same person in a trial two days running?

I think it would improve the show and we'd get to see more of the other 'celebs' in a trial situation.

I think that's a very good idea. I wonder if it's ever occurred to them ? I'd contact them and suggest it.

Yes its getting too predictable, we had that woman last year, now its happening again. It's ruining the show IMHO. Why cant ITV see it, Maybe they can.

In the very first series in 2002, the celebs chose amongst themselves who did the next trial, which was a much better idea as we had a different one each time.

ITV are all about making a fortune in phone-ins though, so they won't change it now.

There would still be a phone vote, just for someone who didn't do the trial the previous day.

Remember how last year DS were going bananas at Katie Price 'stealing all the limelight' through the trials she was continuously voted to do?
If they were exempt for a day then no-one would complain, after all you can always vote for that person again every other day.

I just think that someone like Gillian is so pathetic that it's not even entertaining to watch now, and I'd much rather have seen Linford do today's trial and actually put some effort into it.

No way. I'm looking forward to watching McSqueal doing another trial. Plus the public voting in the BT trials only goes on for the first week. None of them are going to choose Gillian to do one, they want food. I still can't make my mind up over whether or not she's faking it all. One things for sure, she loves all the attention, watch out for the glint in her eyes.

I think they should be exempt for one day after doing a trial. Unless you're Katie Price, of course.

I think once they have done a trial on the public vote they should be exempt from any more voted on trials, then we would avoid the tedious situation with people voting for the same ones all the time.

Anyway it all changes soon and we will get to see the others doing trials, thank god.

I can't wait to see Alison Hammond do a trial

The one that Stacy did would have been good. I bet she'd have been exempt though

I was saying this to my OH the other day - or it should be only three trials in a row and they're exempt because it gets so boring each year when the same contestant does the trials each day.

Yes. That should definetely be a rule. Watching Gillian do one every day has become very tedious indeed, just like it did with KP last year.

They should be immune for a number of days that is equal to the number of trials they have already completed. If it was only ever one day you'd just end up with the same two people doing all the trials on alternate days which is not much better.

I reckon they should be immune for a number of days equal to the number of trials they have already done for maximum variety.

They should only be immune if they complete the trial.
