He's a decent bloke but he seems quite an expert an how to play it when to say and how to say things in the right way.

I assume he has some coaching from someone.

His character seems to be an almagamation of a lot of previous rtv winners

ITV like him, they've given him the jacuzzi treat and the pool party. This must be the luxury edition of the show and he's the chosen champ.

The only reason I'm tuning in this year is to watch Bullard get up to his usual mischief. He's always been a practical joker, throughout his footballing years. He's daft as a brush and amuses me greatly.

Of course he'll have had advice on how to handle the media when he was younger. The vast majority of professional footballers do!

I've never heard of him and I'm genuinely baffled by his popularity. What is the reason for it?

I like him, but it would have been nice if he hadn't been involved in the relatives/pool treat... Was lovely to see Foggy & Vikki for a change and would prefer a more even split of airtime when it comes to manipulated moments like that... But such is the nature of reality tv!

He shows just the right amount of fear before any trials but does OK in the end.

A blagger in other words ?

He's being bigged-up too, beyond anything he is actually bringing to the show

I understand he might run some people up the wrong way (like yourself) but he's not fake, this is just how he is. You should watch some of his old footy interviews etc etc.

He plays the reality game well because his personality is perfect for a show like this. I knew he'd be one of the favourites to win from the start.

Maybe it's this that has made me dislike him because I sometimes laugh at him and he seems harmless enough but I just do not like him, maybe it's something to do with him being a full grown adult and still looking 9ish, weird.

I know nothing about him but he just seems like a buffoon to me. I can't quite grasp what it is about him that makes him the favourite to win.

Nice guy, great sense of humour, very popular as a footballer (very likeable in interviews and on footy related shows), reputation as a joker and prankster for many years as a pro footballer and also well respected because he spent most of his career in lower leagues but gained an England cap late in his career - an honest grafter, one of few footballers people think they can relate to these days.

Also, he's the only reason I am even watching and if you look on Twitter, you'll say many blokes saying the same thing. I don't even like IAC but want to see how he does. As soon as I heard he was going in, I said he would win.
