Have you watched her in Eastenders before?
You're post is proof that Charlie only won because of the EE fanbase (Charlie being the best actress in EE - not that hard actually) bolstered by the fact that she's British.

Charlie is a brilliant actress, Janine is a brilliant character.

Why would that make me want her to win? For the record I absolutely LOVE her in Eastenders, she's definitely one of the best characters in it and a brilliant actress. But that has nothing to do with what she's like as a campmate.

I have. Charlie Brooks is without doubt the best actress in Eastenders (and I love her character of Janine). But - what the hell has her being in Eastenders got to do with her 'performance' on this year's IAC? She was totally anonymous, a little bit bitchy (not only about Helen - although Helen deserved it more than most), and she really made a meal of 'missing out' on seeing her daughter (bearing in mind that she chose to be away from her for three weeks).

Make no mistake - Charlie owes winning this year's IAC to Kiki, Eastenders fans and the fact that the kind of people who vote in this thing are extremely jingoistic (most will be Sun readers) and won't have a 'johnny foreigner' win - EVER.

If the dog that played Wellard is to be in it next year - I'm assuming you'll be singing its praises too!

The classic reaction of the sore loser.
No, I'm not disappointed- because I guessed the result days ago. I am, fair enough, disappointed that so many of the public are not as keen on fair play as they are on Eastenders.

Thankyou Ashley for being so wonderfully entertaining, wicked and a real winner. I would have not watched the programme but for your injection of life, charisma and humour.
Charlie seems nice enough, but so boring. She won the 'mummy' vote, which was so tiresome to watch. :yawn:

Just saw your post Sheila and you said everything that I wanted to say.. Agree wholeheartedly.

I find it a bit sad that lots of people weren't interested in what was really, going on. They'd undoubtedly have voted the same way whatever went on. That's not a making up of minds or weighing things up. It's a huge vote based partly or mostly in seeing a familiar face. I'm going to re read ' Brave New World'.

No she should have gone days ago.

Ashley
David
Eric
Hugo
Rosemary and even Helen should all have beaten her.

And they would have, if Charlie was an actress who'd worked only for the Royal Shakespeare Company or S4C Wales.

I am at a total loss to understand what went on here? Strange series all round really and when I heard the result just switched off. What a waste of time all the real characters gone but in the end they will be the people that are remembered and I hope Ashley uses it to boost her career.

Charlie always struck me as someone who always flew under the radar and actually she is the reason I stopped watching eastenders all those years ago when they killed Barry off because it was done so badly and I just realised what trash the programme was and have never watched since.

It's not like Ashley saved the lives of a bunch of small furry critters from the jaws of a croc and performed live saving open heart surgery in camp while Charlie slept in her hammock and downed cocktails all day!

Twas an entertainment show and the last 2 peeps happened to be two nice lasses, and one of them won.

Gino D'Acampo won a few years back so you can't say it's impossible for foreigners to win...

Yes! Although I'd have like either to win, I'd pick Charlie over Ashley.
