we will see by tonights rateings if natalies antics has killed the programme or enhanced it

The public love to see posh-like wimps get down and dirty. The popularity of the Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie Fox reality show, "The Simple Life" is proof of that.

The numbers should hold up.

I'm actually worrying for this series, IMO its just as good, possibly better than last - why is not doing as well?

Between the producers and the voting public what used to be an entertaining programme has become dull.

I'd rather see more action from the jungle with less emphasis on Sophie and Natalie and the 'will they wont they' Nancyand Vic, less Ant and Dec schoolboy humour.

Whether you like or loathe any of them, I'm sure we would all like to see them do at least one trial each and that is just not going to happen.

unless people who haven't done a task yet (sheila, huggy, nancy, joe) get voted out first then we should get to see most do a task

diane modahl never did one though did she? and we've all forgotten her and yet she was a very nice girl

That's exactly what will happen.

Diane did do a trial, Mike Reid didn't.

This year it looks a certainy that at least two wont get to do a trial if not more at this rate and looking at polls.

Sheila & Huggy doing the eating one would have been much more entertaining I should have thought.

so i'm thinking huggy may be out early without a trial.

it all depends on how they vote in the camp for people to do stuff. have we even see huggy get a chest yet?

we've seen joe and sheila get one and we've seen nancy with fran.

we do need to see more of fran too - joe seems more obvious in many ways and yet hasn't done a trial, as does jimvic and he hasn't done one yet.

i can't remember if people blended in when fash was doing it all, they didn't seem to but i'm not sure i can remember who was in that one. was it linda barker, phil tufnell, wozza, etc?

I think they are obsessed with Natalie, Sophie and Nancy, all of which are bores they are showing the wrong contestants.

There is too much emphasis on Natalie, and a too little on the others. And I think a married couple is a bad idea - James Gooding and Sophie would have been good, theres no Jordan/Peter scenario this year - thats what gets people talking!

for gods sake why give huggy or sheila a trial, they have both sat about and done nowt but bitch, dont give them any more air time get them out first, dont let them think they are any more popular than the others, because they are not

I don't want to see Nancy and Vic getting it on. I know she loves him and all that, but from my point of view, he's not exactly what you could call eye candy. What a turn off.

Last series the public voted for the characters or the more prominent ones, most people got a turn - this year they are voting the...er...erm...Natalie!

STOP IT

she could just get on top of him, slap his arse and ride the waves

Preferably under the waves

Agreed. Only Mike Reid didn't do a trial and he was off first. Hopefully some of the ones that haven't done one will stick around a little while so they can do one next week, but seeing as only Sheila, Nancy and Vic have not participated in one yet, it'll be interesting to see what happens.

What task did Joe do? Or did I miss it?

first task, he tipped some bugs over fran, directed by huggy, thats when fran had crabs in his pants

Oh that's right, I forgot about that one. Mind you, it doesn't really amount to much of a task for him or Huggy. They both need another.

Yes....and he was hilarious™
