Yep. That's why I'm not going to do it , in case I get thrown off of this thread.

So you get, to take two obvious examples, Joey, who is a big current tv star with a huge fan base, and David, who has not been famous since 1981, and then not very.
Joey was obviously going to get all the tasks because people just can't see enough of him. David was obviously going to get none because no one cares enough to pick up the phone and vote for him.
So it was obviously only a matter of time before people started asking what he has 'done' to deserve to stay; and saying that he is completely unmemorable; and asking what was the point of him. (I see that there is already a 'what is the point of Alfonso? thread).
If it carries on as it has done, it will almost literally have been the Joey show, not because of his dazzling personality, but because he is just given far more air time than anyone else. If anyone wants to get shown at all, they had better make sure that they contrive a 'story' with Joey or they will be out without ever being shown at all for more than 2 minutes a day. And people who are not very bright will happily assume that 'if they had done anything it would have been shown', which will obviously be completely untrue, unless 'done anything' means 'with Joey'.”

Spot on, wonkey!

I genuinely don't think that is true. Look at the twitter comments when the show is on, or on facebook, and all you can see are Joey fans wanting to see Joey and saying that they don't like anyone else. He is 'playing the game well' in the sense of trying hard at tasks, encouraged by Matthew; if he hadn't had that encouragement I don't think he would have done nearly as well. But none of the others have had anything (except mini-tasks yesterday) to 'play well' or badly.
I wish they would have a rule where once someone has done a task they have to have a day off. That way we would see a wider variety of people.
I really do have the feeling that this series is Joey's to lose, as CBB was Charlotte's to lose, regardless of what either of them do during the series. Charlotte started CBB with over a million twitter followers, Joey with over 2 million. They are big stars in the reality tv world, which is where it counts.

I certainly agree with everything you say and now its becoming more boring as it spans out when we had the live feed it made it so much interesting to see how the other campmates were getting on.
Now its Joey this and Joey that and that to me is a turn off.
Now I believe two new campmates are going in tonight
it will be interesting to see how much AIR TIME they get against the joey show.
The more a show is reliant on public voting the less of a competition it is. The Apprentice is the only big British reality show that's a competition where personality really has any kind of impact, but even that's largely based on the random whims and biases of Sugar.
