Alphonso a lot of people on here were getting excited when this guy was listed as going in.

People thinking he could be the first non uk person to win but doesn't seem very likely so far

He'll have to do the Carlton dance

He's doing fine. A slow burner.

I don;t know who he is or what he does.

No one is,,,its the bloody Essex show

He's getting more than quite a few others

I like him too. Sadly, none of them are really getting much airtime because of Thicko Essex being allowed to hog the editing.

Alfonso needs to dance, the sad thing is most won't recognise him but when he does the dances and perhaps Ant & Dec doing them as well the TOWIE loving morons may realise he was "Will Smith's old pal from that show that was popular years ago" then he'd be a safe bet for final three

It's all about Joey at the moment; I expect his jungle romance will start building up in the next couple of episodes too, so I doubt we'll see much of the others for a while yet, which is a shame, because Alfonso seems interesting, David could be quite a character too, and also Laila.

Yes, I agree. It certainly feels like 'The Joey Essex Show' at the moment.

The groundwork for the showmance seems to be getting put in place

Indeed
It's going the way of the last Celeb BB, catering for the youngsters with too much screentime for these reality dullards

Yep,
I know it's early days, but it's all feeling a little too predictable so far.

Is it just me or is the average age of the camp mates much older this year?

That may play in Alfonso's favour, that the older junglers might bring in an older audience. Also if he does the dance, you may get certain sites *wink* that like to hate on IAC but love Carlton.

Atm though we're getting Joey all the bleeding time, I can only hope he gets as annoying as Helen F.

No one bar Joey and whoever he interacts with is going to be seen much. Matthew may but that is only because he is doing the trials.

Honestly I am sorry to say for anyone expecting anything else but you should really brace yourself for the Joey Essex show, ITV want him doing some sort of spin off show etc. after this and therefore its pretty obvious he is their "golden boy" of the series, the editing/coverage will be extremely biased towards him & anyone that they see as a threat at any point will likely be made to look bad or just not shown very much so that less people vote for them, there boy Joey is going all the way no doubt in my mind.

Poor Gino

The only people to get much airtime tonight were Matthew and Joey (as the trial took up the bulk of the show)..and Amy to a degree...purely because they want a showmance angle for Joey.

They didn't even show the Celebrity chest challenge (I presume there was one).

Has anyone had much air time yet?

every year it's the same
2 days in and it doesn't feel like the show has even started

what do you expect , it's turning into the joey ' I'm a bit thick ' essex show , looks like he will be picked for every trial now just like helen was last year , am sick of itv showing favouritism to it;s own stars

Crikey .... there's only been one HL episode so far ....
