Does anyone else think that Edwina, the late-comer is worming her way in to be the big boss.., she was checking out how the camp was motivated and guided before she arrived,,, to find her own niche in there...

No. I think she might be an organiser but in a nice way.

Oh definitely but for her own good she needs to step back, they were all getting along fine before her arrival therefore I don't think Edwina trying to boss the others around will go own well.
Unfortunately Edwina Curry doesn't seem the type of person to sit back & go with the flow.

why does everyone hate edwina?
I like her a lot, she did a lot for gay rights and she exposed the egg salmanella and got slated for that depite being 100% true and everyone denying it

We'll if the idiots on the after show give her a chance instead of making snide remarks about her. I think she will be a good campmate.

Well, she would, wouldn't she? Anyone who recollects her personality - will expect her to be somewhat pushy

She is so fiesty.

I see a lot of Christine Hamilton's bravery in her and she could surprise a few folk.

So what's new?

I wonder how long it will be before a group forms around Edwina and starts targeting someone as not being a "team player".

She'll have a fight on her hands from mel

I like her, think she's probably going to be the most entertaining this series. I hope she doesn't become a 'leader' or that as they don't need it, but I guess we'll see.

I like her too. Think she's misunderstood because of her public image which is based on something that happened 30 years ago FFS! If she can survive the first couple of eviction votes, I can see her doing very well.

I do not think that she wants to be regarded as a dog

What a loathsome manipulator she is turning out to be.

No great surprise, surely?

Once a politician etc

I didn't think it was true and that's why she was slated for it. Howeever, she's an entertaining camp mate. I don't mind her . But she's an ex Tory MP and an outspoken female - that's enough for some people to dislike her.

I don't mind her. She is embracing the whole experience. She has aged a lot since I last saw her.

I thought Kendra looked like she wanted to take over top dog in the challenge.

It turned out afterwards that Whitehall were trying to cover up the extent of the salmonella epidemic so Edwina was more right than wrong.

It's probably unfair of me but the fact that she is tory makes it hard for me to really like her or want to vote for her to win. Saying that she seems ok so far and it's nice to have a range of ages in the jungle.

I have always kinda liked her. She's feisty.

Having seen her on many reality shows before, I really think she is on her best behaviour at the moment. Maybe after this CIA malarkey is over she'll sharpen her claws a little.

I wonder when we will hear about her affair with John Major. On Wife Swap John McCrirrick asked her about it outright, and to her credit (without flinching) she answered him straight. She is no shrinking violet.

It's a bit like 'give a dog a bad name...' Edwina could be a likeable lovely woman but as soon as the label 'Tory' is used she might as well give up the ghost. People are very judgemental.

I agree. I really like her, she's very straight and not afraid to make fun of herself, is just going with it, taking it as it comes.

There must be some people who like Tories. The government we currently have in the UK would suggest so. People who enter I'm a Celebrity, Big Brother, and similar contests are setting themselves up to be judged. That's the whole point of these shows.

There are two distinct sides to Edwina. One, the public sees and another when she's off duty.

I was on a cruise and she was a guest speaker, very good she was too. Later I was outside one of the bars and a woman in jeans and top came out with her husband and their drinks. It took a few seconds to realise that it was Edwina. Whole different person in speech and manner.
