No. Her being a Tory has absolutely nothing to do with my dislike of her. It's just her, her entitled manner, her smugness, her deluded belief that she was a force to be reckoned with in politics, her selfish and callous disregard and lack of care for other people's feelings.

But having said that, I'm ok with her being in there now. She won't dominate, and will probably really struggle to make her presence felt once the CIA task is over, and will probably leave quite early in a damp squibish manner.

I think it's fair enough to judge people partially on their politics as it gives a good indication of their ethics and beliefs. I don't however hate anyone for their politics (unless it's really extreme like BNP) and I will give her a chance, but I can't help taking it into account when I decide how I feel about someone .

Is that not what she's expected to do in the circumstances? They all are in this tedious task. I'm tired of her boasting about her duplicitous skills as an ex-politician. If anyone didn't know who she was before they do now. I only hope she will deflect any questions about John Major and consider his wife, family and her own husband, for once. She's must have gained enough money and infamy from that sad exploit by now. .

Have you watched the show ? She just wandered into the camp and avoided what the people before her had to do . She's got herself exempt from the BTTs . Then she's on the secret mission with its power and privileges .

Completely unfair why some celebs get special treatment, while still picking up a nice fat fee .
Anyone of us would love a paid for holiday in the Australian sunshine for a few weeks, plus up to £50k cheque at the end .

That's the producers choice not Edwinas, she's doing what been asked of her so far. There are plenty of others who haven't done trials.

No one should be on IAC if they demand exemption from the BTTs . Why should she get special treatment . If they all demanded exemption there would be no programme .

How did she get herself exempted from BTT's ? Do you know something I don't? What about Jake?

I agree about the unfairness of any immunity apart from seeing the back of Kendra.

Who said she demanded to be exempt? Even if she did (which seems unlikely ) it's up to the producers to decide if they will except this or not. I doubt they would as trials are the whole point of the show.

I agree. I thought I'd missed something.

Nothing this woman does is in a nice way.

I suppose she's half-way to being top dog - she's a dog (but what an insult to all the terriers and hounds that is).

Do you know something that none of us do?

Do you know this for a fact or are you just making an assumption?

Oh, leave her alone, she's alright, she's doing what she's been told to do, and with such strong characters in there like Mel and Vicki, she's certainly not going to be top dog anytime soon.

I like watching her because she's always entertaining in one way or another - here's a clip of her from Hells kitchen where the rest of them are laughing at her rather than with her, but it's funny all the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6w_LfIgvU8

I like her. I don't see why she is so disliked, she is just a typical ex-politician, but she seems quite feisty and strong charactered. I am hoping she does well.

A few examples might be handy.

.......and answer came there none.

I would like to see her do a trail, then we can see what she what she made of, I quite like her, and would like to see more of her, as I'm tired of of watching the x factor chap and his boring antics

It's the politics of envy rearing it's ugly head. She's a Tory so she must be bad! Get real people, she's in there doing exactly as she's been told and not getting anywhere near the airtime Jake or Kendra have got, where's the problem?

Have to agree. so many hurt by their actions for her to laugh it off.
