What an awful woman. Just starts laying into Kendra without even understanding what she was talking about. Typical superior politician. Awful person, get her out. Kendra isn't perfect and has a bizarre life but she didn't deserve that self-righteous nonsense from a politician who has no right to lecture anyone.
Nice bit of inverted snobbery there. 'without understanding what she was talking about'? What WAS she talking about? Because it sounded like Grade A b***x to me.

You'd think an experienced politician would know when to 'shut it'. It wasn't her conversation and she chose to interpret it in her own way. Then she wouldn't let it drop...
It wasn't anyone's 'conversation'. It wasn't a 'conversation'. It was Kendra spouting her nonsensical sermon of the type of self-centered b****x that has this world going down a social media storm drain. Fair dues to Edwina for calling her out on it. I think I'd have put my head through a tree trunk if I had to listen to that inane twaddle.

Kendra was saying "you shouldn't live your life for others" ie you should live your life in a way which is true to yourself and not be too influenced by the opinions of other people. This was 100% obvious to me. However, Edwina chose to interpret what she was saying as "you shouldn't care about anyone else apart from yourself."

By misunderstanding in this way, Edwina was either being thick or disingenuous. Now I would tend towards the latter, as she is a politician after all.

She then began laying into the girl, popping up from her hammock to deliver her "judgement" on an inferior being who she clearly dispises.

In my opinion she has been waiting patiently for an opportunity to take down Kendra. That is the sort of nasty person she is.

"Sometimes you have to put others first Kendra." Oh how holier than thou! Was she thinking of others when she was having her affair with John Majpr?
See the bit in bold there? That's just pure nonsense. Absolute and utter nonsense. It makes NO SENSE. It's like a cheesy Hallmark soundbite. It's also dangerous nonsense letting gullible young people think that sleeping with old men and never working a day in your life is an attainable and desirable 'career' choice.

I think the point is that Kendra didn't instigate or invite a debate in the first place. When someone is having a conversation with a group of people it's incredibly rude for someone outside of the circle to bellow into the group in the middle of the conversation an opinion that has not been solicited. I get where Kendra was coming from and I believe Edwina did too but she deliberately ignored the points that Kendra was trying to make and turned the conversation around to a different perception of the topic just to get her own point of view across. Kendra used foul language but Edwina was very rude so it's 1-1 I think but the situation was instigated by Edwina's interference and ego.
There was no 'conversation' and no-one is debarred in any situation from voicing their counter opinion. Should they set up an altar for Kendra to spout her b****x from?

In your opinion of course because you cannot possibly speak for everyone

I think rudeness is every bit as unacceptable as swearing.

Intolerance of the opinions of others says alot too
How about Kendra's utter and absolute intolerance of Edwina's difference of opinion, eh?

Isn't the point that Kendra understood immediately what Edwina was trying on? She knew that Edwina wasn't interested in having the discussion or being objective, she realised Edwina was determined to misconstrue what she was saying, to not let her finish explaining her beliefs and to twist what she meant around and feed it back to the captive audience.
Kendra was affronted and rightly so that someone would be so rude as to interrupt and attempt to override her when she was herself wrangling with how to express a subject that had huge meaning for her, she was opening herself up thinking she was with friends before she was unjustifiably attacked from an outsider to the situation. She reacted defensively in an emotional way because of her youth.
Edwina knew so well what she was doing, looking for the chink in someone's armour to try and tear them down and seizing upon a few words taken out of contest to try to paint someone into a corner. The actions of a lowlife. or a politician.

Edwina Currie, the parasitical politician that she is, sensed vulnerability and made her move, thinking she could get one over on the dumb (in her mind) blonde, American bimbo, she just didn't expect the girl to have so much self belief and inner strenght about her.
She was scalded lol. And is was really obvious when she was sitting by the fire later, she kept looking over and Kendra slyly and she didn't look smug at all, she looked like a pricked balloon.

Kendra did a great job of being fearless in the face of blatent hostility and bullying from Edwina.
Edwina was trying a little of the Delphi principle on her, that is, trying to get the others to turn on her and make her feel isolated into silence with her opinion. She was convinced this old bully tactic would be successful and staggered that it failed.

I love the way Kendra just sees Edwina for the sly, underhanded, manipulative, fraudulent old crow she is and wasn't one bit fazed by her notoriety Edwina thinks all us little people are going to kowtow and is in a state of shock when it doesn't happen. Kendra talked to her as an equal!!!. The people that don't applaud Kendra are afraid I think. Afraid because they know deep down they haven't got the same courage and would probly lick Edwina's boot in the right circumstance.
What 'beliefs'? It was dangerous, inane claptrap.

^^^^^All good points^^^^^

And why are people so offended by a few swear words and a bit of anger, is it because its not the British thing to do, the British never complain enough that is why as a nation we have become a walkover.....
If you think aggressively swearing and insulting somebody is ok in a social environment, well then I don't think there is much hope for society.

You say we are a walkover and we never complain enough, yet you have a problem with Edwina Currie stating her opinion, instead of letting Kendra ramble on about how much of a role model she is and how she inspires people..........

They are good points, we should all be collectively asking ourselves why we are so easily offended and faint hearted I think..
I don't swear myself in day to day life but it's something that I do resort to during a time of intense stress or difficulty, especially while driving lol, so i can understand anyone else who resorts to swearing at similar times, it's not what you would xhoose to do, the swearing is symbolic of the heightened emotion/distress you are feeling in a bad moment and should be understood as such surely?

Not complaining is NOT a good thing, it's like saying you are prepared to put up with anything, even ill treatment and bullying and you won't react. Governments love people to be like this, it makes it easier for them to treat us as cattle. And that's we have food that is of a lower quality than you will buy in Germany or elsewhere from the same brand names.

Kendra was just letting it rip instead of worrying about the consequences and fair play to her for just being herself. Of course people will view people who get angry and loose control as having lost the argument but it takes time to learn how to keep your head and retaliate calmly and with wisdom and Kendra hasn't reached that stage yet maybe. Or maybe she was just seriously pissed off.

I wonder what people would be saying about her if she had allowed herself to be silenced and let Edwina away with the taunting?

Oh, there's no doubt that Edwina is well aware that the reason she's been hired is to stir things up in camp. Was Kendra 'down', though? It didn't look that way to me. I think she was fair game for anyone to challenge. Edwina's manner was obnoxious (as was Kendra's), but I don't think challenging the view that Kendra was spouting was underhand or out of order.
I meant more in terms of Edwina knew she was emotional after getting the pictures of her children the day before, was feeling down with regards to the trials, a bit wound up from the morning and the sock situation. With all that mixed together, I think Edwina knew she'd get a reaction like that from Kendra. I have no problem with people disagreeing with others or entering into a debate, but Edwina didn't want a debate about it. She wanted it to be known that she thought Kendra was wrong, and that was that. At least that's how I saw it.

First bit in bold - no it shouldn't; as I always tell my lot, swearing is simply a sign of a lack of a vocabulary and the dearth of a decent argument.

Second bit in bold - by that logic, you should have no issue whatsoever with Edwina disagreeing with Kendra's ridiculous expostulation on how pimping yourself out to an octogenarian and living off the legend of same makes her a role model. People should certainly speak up - and be commended for doing so - when such absolutely laughable and dangerous (to susceptible young minds) drivel is flowing.

Third bit in bold - disagreeing with someone's nonsense is not 'taunting' them. If you can't defend your position, don't preach it like it's gospel.

I haven't seen anyone saying that Kendra should have allowed herself to be silenced. In fact, all of the people who have taken the side of EC have said that they don't like her (and I am sure are amazed that they would agree with her in any situation!)

What I have seen is people being shocked by Kendra's anger and her screaming tantrum (which is what it was in essence) and the attitude she displayed to someone else. Not only that, no-one has mentioned yet the fact that the other campmates, being in such close proximity, were affected by this. Having witnessed something similar once, i felt incredibly uncomfortable during it, and just wanted to go and hide until it was over. Unfortunately, that is not something the campmates could do. They were caught in the middle (literally, in some cases) and a few of them actually said afterwards how awful it was. It's incredibly upsetting when someone behaves like that; she should have at least apologised to the others even if she didn't feel that Edwina deserved an apology.

She acted like a spoilt child and as Edwina said (gee, I can't believe I'm agreeing with her, either as I never liked her as a politician!) if you have to resort to screaming inanities (punctuated by very few actual words!) then you've lost the argument. It's absolutely true.

What she SHOULD have done was to debate the point properly. She should have sat back and thought about it, or better still, if she couldn't, merely got up and walked away. But instead she chose to behave like a spoilt 10 year old. A rude, obnoxious 10 year old.

I'm afraid I lost all respect for Kendra when she told Ant and Dec in the last trial that she was happy with 2 stars because, in essence, she had reached her limit and the camp wouldn't care, because she had 'tried her best'. Well, no, Kendra, you didn't 'try' your best. You barely tried and then you had a horribly cavalier attitude toward feeding your fellow campmates! Yet you were perfectly happy to eat a meal when first Mel then Jake got lots of stars because they DID try!

I think Edwina was wrong to do what she did. She was actually quite aggressive with Kendra. However, that doesn't give Kendra the excuse to behave as she did and those excusing that behaviour simply on the ground that they don't like Edwina (as those defending her don't actually!) or because Edwina was wrong herself are a bad reflection on society.

I respectfully disagree. You said that Edwina's contribution to Kendra's monologue was unsolicited. You then went on to say that one should respect other's opinions. So I asked you why Kendra isn't required to respect Edwina's.

We are on a forum where opinions are not only solicted but expected. In real life Edwina's outburst was incredibly rude and provoking. She didn't wait for a pause in the conversation to respectfully put across her opinion or try to integrate herself to the conversation, she yelled across the camp that she disagreed and then gave a tirade as to why. I saw Kandra's response as initially shocked at Edwinas reaction and then afronted, understandably so even if her actual response wasn't.

Lets face it - they are bored in there. The days are long - little things start to irritate.

Much as I dislike Edwina Currie (with a passion) I completely understood her reaction to sitting having to listen to the absolute garbage that Kendra was spouting - I for one wouldn't have been able to hold my tongue.

Others tried to explain it away and said that Edwina had misunderstood what Kendra was saying - maybe it's an 'age' thing but I read it like Edwina and it made my hackles rise TBH.

Amazing how one person is allowed to scream, swear and shout insults as she's just 'being herself' yet Edwina Currie isn't allowed to be herself and express her opinion. Bizarre and lots of double standards coming out. As I've said before if Edwina Currie was not a politician or an adulteress I doubt many would be sticking up for Kendra. Sad state of affairs.

If you reacted like Kendra did in a real life situation. Abusing and swearing I'd quite happily say your lost the plot!

I abhor Edwina's politics and, after seeing her childish, ill-educated sniping on the Big Benefits Debate earlier in the year, I now abhor her as a person, too.

She's a cut price Ann Widdecombe, without the chastity belt.

I agree with this. I suspect some peoples dislike of EC is clouding their judgment some what. Kendra was utterly vile. I do t know how old her children are but I would be mortified if my mother behaved like that n public. Edwina has always been on opinionated old crow, and I quite like that. But she did not deserve that diatribe of venom. I'm thinking Kendra is unstable and rather flakey. And sorry , I'm not buying all the " poor abused victim " stuff. She's just unpleasant . Hell I shudder to think what would have happened if Edwina had retaliated in kind with verbal abuse and swearing.

This doesn't sound like an Irishwoman speaking to me lol. Many Irish folks swear in polite conversation as you should know if you are Irish and it doesn't tend to bring a conversation to an abrupt standstill, we get on with it. We tend to let other people be themselves.

Edwina was taunting that girl, and as other people have pointed out she is a politician and knows precisely what she's about. I don't know that Kendra's trying to be a role model to anyone, but she has a right to speak for herself and to tell others this is how I do things, I didn't hear her try to impose her way on anyone..
Edwina was trying to make her seem small minded, selfish and closed off to others, this is what she intended and that's what she did.

I don't know what Kendra said about being a role model tbh but I'm not going to condemn her for trying to get something out of life just because it's not something I myself would think savoury. She has been taken advantage of even if she can't see it herself but at least she's come out of it with a strength of character and an ability to not to be so easily conned by those around her as the rest of us maybe.

Thankfully your comments don't make me see any less clearly something which has nothing to do with anyone's politics, yours, mine or Edwina's.

It's a pity Kendra's strength of character can't extend to the trials.

Edwina is entitled to her own opinion, just like anyone else, what she isn't entitled to is to interrupt someone who's in the process of explaining something and break her concentration and stop her speaking, That was deliberately timed, ill mannered and rude and a flagrant attempt to make Kendra look bad to the others. Kendra sussed what she was doing and retaliated. She only retaliated when Edwina wouldnt drop it and made it plain she was not going to stop.
She should've stopped speaking and turned to the others and said, we'll finish this later when Edwina's not listening then if she wanted to avoid conflict but why should she have had to do that?

Kendra was very wise to Eggwina and her badness I think, it's interesting that she called her the devil, isn't it? She knows a bad egg when she smells one. I think Edwina has been slyly been winding her up in a subtle unseen way for a while maybe and the missing socks are just one outstanding clear illustration of this.

I think your view is totally clouded by your opinion of Edwina Curry! I mean you call her Eggwina for gods sake. Very childish.

Maybe she'll turn out to be a slow burner eh? She must have a strong stomach lol I think the public's missing a trick in not having Edwina eat the penises though. She'll be drooling.

I was disappointed that Michael didn't step in and offer to adjudicate the argument as if it was an episode of The Moral Maze.
"Is Kendra right to expect people to listen to her spouting absolute bollocks and was Edwina right to engage an unarmed person in a battle of wits?"

I'm not sure how much is down to the editing but I have felt that Edwina has been annoyed with Kendra for a while and been looking for a way to bring her down. I certainly felt the way she butted in last night was deliberately to provoke Kendra. The way she just said something and then lay down with her eyes closed so as to not invite a response was really rude.

Edwina is an intelligent woman and she was dealing with someone who doesn't seem to be as aware as she is.
Compare how Craig dealt with a similar situation with Gemma when she was moaning about being hungry all the time. Craig managed to make Gemma aware of how she was coming across without being mean or provoking an argument. Edwina was deliberately provoking Kendra to behave in a way which would come across badly.

When I saw the trailers about the show I was sure I was going to be thinking Kendra is a potty mouth but I actually felt more sorry for her and though Edwina was being manipulative against her.
