why would they care who wins?
For example a reality show about the day to day life of Eric may not get as many viewers as one about Charlie or Helen. Ashley is American so they can only use her for a limited time before she has to go home and any show made over there would need special documentation and the crew would all need visas ect |

You know it's a slow news day when these sorts of stuff appear on the front pages of the tabloids. Whilst a number of questions arise in my mind around why Eric is spoken of by all those who come out of the camp as an affable and yes even caring individual it's going a bit far to make headline news out of it and I think we are getting out of proportion the seriousness of this show.
There is no doubt in my mind he doesn't deserve some of the character assassination comments uttered on DS via trial by television His acerbic comments have been one of the more entertaining aspects of the whole series and have actually got him this far. Much to the chagrin of the morally outraged. |

The standard of "journalism" is tragic nowadays. Where were all these know-it-alls when Savile was alive?

Its a bit odd because on one page of the Sun they have Eric's agent worried about him being shown as a bully
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...portrayal.html and on another they have an interview with Rosemary headlined to suggest she claims he bullied her. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...eb-jungle.html I do think they have edited Eric to appear worse than he probably is - although they didnt put words in his mouth! Both Colin and Hugo have said how much he helped and supported them in there though so there is definitely a side of him we havnt seen. Maybe he's a bit of a chauvenist? I actually could see similarities in Rosemary and Eric - they both see the faults in others and are very verbal about them but apparently see none in themselves. |

So ITV show things that haven't happened / been said???
![]() ![]() ![]() What have they been doing? Getting look-alikes into a parallel universe jungle camp to say things about Helen's spots and her dad, and then broadcast them pretending that the real Eric said them?????? OMG... no wonder his lawyers are outraged... ![]() ![]() ![]() The way I see it is that if you don't say the things then they can't be broadcast / edited to look worse than they are... |

If they had to go to the US to film they would need visa's (US work permits) to be allowed to work there as the crew would be British
They could of course hire a US film crew that would solve that problem ![]() ESTA;s take 5 mins to complete over the internet. So what would be the hassle? |

Back on Eric, has any reality tv show contestant ever successfully sued the producers of their show over bad editing? We've heard it threatened before but it's never ever gone anywhere. |

![]() ![]() ...However you can build up or knock people down by what you show. A lot of the people who have come out have said what a good bloke he is and how much hard work he does in camp. But that is not the impression you would get from watching the ITV1 programme or the slagging off he gets on ITV2 When Gino DiCampo won a few years back he got a very positive showing on the shows but once it was all over there were reports on the bits that had been left out and the monumental stroops he had. So what you don't show can have just as big an impact as what you do show. |

Yeah, I remember all those many Dougie from McFly spin-off shows ITV have made since last year. And that Carol Thatcher talk show.

I think his son and agent have just drawn attention to it, whereas Eric himself has moved his image on from that and shown another, more decent side of his character so it wouldn't have impacted on his wider portrayal.

I know! Its a load of cobblers. I think the makers of the show hadn't realised that he'd get this far (or become so popular). I think the makers want a Charlie Brooks win for some reason.
I'm just waiting for them to dish some invented dirt on Ashley now! For some reason? What reason do you propose? Quote:

Just saw a bit about it on This Morning and they did make it appear as though Eric's family really are angry at how he's been portrayed.

Daily Mail has a headline `Is this the cruelest stunt ever`
with a picture of Charlie`s daughter - gosh she`s like her mum!! I didn't mention cruelty at all, just that it made me uncomfy. Nothing like being taking out of context hey? |

Just how much would a mobile call from Australia to the UK cost anyway?
With my luck if I did mange to sneak one in the only way to get a signal would be up a tree dangling on the end of a branch |

There is joking [banter] and just being plain rude. His comment just was plain rude to Helen, when she explained about her skin [her father had the same problem, that it was passed on in the family] he started on about her dad. To get a laugh out of putting somebody down in front of others, to me is wrong.
