Can't say I've seen much evidence of the ladies doing their share, and Linda especially seems fond of lazing about. I don't think I've seen her vertical apart from the live trial! If they are doing their bit why is the camp in such a state?
I'm female just in case anyone thinks I'm being an MCP!

The first day we saw Linda and Charlie cleaning the bog, since the we've also seen them fetching and boiling water and discussing soaking the beans. Linda was cooking yesterday when she nearly dropped the cut out of Charlie into the fire.
Nadine did all the cooking when they were seperate camps. Charlie and Ashley were seen preparing the meal one night.
The only male I've seen doing anything is Hugo, that's not to say the others don't, it's just not been in the footage we'e seen.
A rota was mentioned at one point, so maybe everyone is taking turns ( not at the cooking obviously, we all know that is woman's work )
It's pretty much impossible to tell since we get a highly condensed edit on the highlights. Hugo said that the women were messier than the men, but that doesn't mean they don't help with the chores.

I'm not angry at all.
Just drunk.
And apparently confused.
And hot.
But not like the American female camp member.
But well maybe, but she's doubly so in two senses. Words have sometime different senses (even the word "senses"; not like the 5 or 6 -- but like these 2 I'm meaning here and now). Bet you didn't know that! Did you?
I thought he was suggesting all women were lazy because he made an example of his male vs his female friends. I don't think he just meant the females in camp but just females in general.

But surely that would be such an ignorant, foolish, dickish, asinine thing to believe? Only an ignorant, foolish, asinine dick would say something like that.

Agreed. We have no idea of the real situation. The chores have featured quite heavily in previous years but this year .... nothing. Very odd.

Anyone agree?”
Maybe they just get their alloted tasks done a lot quicker than the men
