Interesting thread. Must say that I was originally on the side of Edwina but after reading the comments I am not sure.

They both come from a sense of entitlement. Edwina with her condescending superior attitude, being from a political background she cannot shake off that every discussion, even if she is eavesdropping has to be challenged especially if she doesn't agree. Edwina must be a bloody nightmare to live with. What needed to happen is for Jimmy to pick her up and throw her in the pool and to be told to lighten up.

Kendra - another one with a sense of entitlement: from the wrong side of the tracks but ended up at 18 being in the Playboy Mansion and having sex with a 70 year old - jeez that would either send you nuts or actually turn it on it's head and actually enjoy that lifestyle and being able to go dating other men, get engaged and have a million dollar wedding at the mansion where you were being screwed by the old owner. Telling that story she obviously thought they would be impressed, when actually everyone of them was thinking 'yuck'. She is deluded, she thinks she is interesting but she is far from it, she think she is famous - but really, for what? Of course she can spout off what she likes about how one should live their life but in reality she is talking a load of bull and when you have the likes of Edwina listening in then she is one woman who won't tolerate bullshit. What needed to happen was for Jimmy to pick her up as well, throw her in the pool and tell her to lighten up and do the bloody tasks and stop faking !


In short both are not very likeable women.
This is probably the most sensible post of the lot - especially the bit about throwing Edwina in the pool! Though I think she'd prefer to be thrown over Jake's shoulder and carried off into the bush

Kendra implied that she always put herself before anyone. That would include her kids.
She seemed insistent she put herself before others- and of course Edwina would question it when Kendra has kids- what was that she said about her husbands depression and he came to bed crying and she didn't act on it? sounds pretty cold to me- I am neither team Kendra or Edwina- but the "Oh my gawwwd" at the top of her voice is not endearing her to me

I LOVE Edwina. It was so obvious she was deliberately goading Kendra, who, sadly, doesn't have the intellect or the experience to know when she is being baited.

What jumped out at me from Kendra's "philosophy" was that she says she only does things that she wants to, without being swayed by other peoples' wants.....so does that mean that as a teenager she actually wanted to shag a wrinkly old man? Not convinced.

It gave her money and power so yes, she probably did. It got her rewards with very little effort on her part and that strikes me as kendra's philosophy. Do what you want as long as it's easy, if it isn't, then don't do it.

Kendra is quite good at manipulation. Look at her first, second and third trial and then her reaction to the CIA task? She is playing a game and whoever was in the right or wrong, you do not speak to an elderly lady in that manner. Can you imagine if Edwina Curry had used that type of language and aggression to another camp mate and how the media would have handled it?
Interestingly, I think if it had been the other way around there would have been accusations of bullying.
Kendra. Edwina butted in and was completely patronising and worst of all, repeated the line "you are a mother". Trying to imply Kendra didn't put her kids first was way out of line, especially considering her own past actions that were exceptionally selfish and certainly not for the benefit of her kids.

I don't agree with Kendra's philosophy but I understand why she was furious due to Edwina mentioning her kids, rudely saying "count me out" and just generally being pompous and unpleasant. If she had simply asked Kendra what she meant that would have been fine, but she went in like a bull in a china shop and rightly got told where to go.
They were both in the wrong really, but just the sort of thing that the Producers love. Kendra is an old hand at Reality Shows and should be able to hold her own. Edwina is too but has maturity and confidence that has come from the cut throat political arena. I think they both met their match in each other and neither comes out of it well - except in the eyes of the Production Team.
Edwina said you are a mother and from Kendra came there no response other than foul mouthed abuse.
Yes, how easy would it have been for Kendra to say witheringly 'well obviously my children come first', which would have been an appropriate put down for the pompous Edwina. But Kendra's foul mouthed, aggressive response meant she lost all ground.
