Irrating and fake IMO

I don' get why viewers vote for her though as it's obvious barring the food she isn't going to do the challenges. Plus how much of Kendra doing the food was helped by having Jimmy there as support?

I guess one good thing is that by Gemma leaving it means we don't have trial after trial of her doing them. However Kendra is just as bad.

Can't wait for when the viewers stop voting and we actually get a good trial.

That makes me feel rather sad.

Poor baby - wondering where mum is. This does rather give credence to her me me me philosophy though. I wonder if Edwina knows this?

So she really DOES put herself first. rollseyes

The voters do it every time though, don't they? Pick on the ones who are weak and it's a double whammy as apart from the 'suffering' of who is doing the task, the rest of them have to starve.

I couldn't leave a baby for that long nor could I leave a husband with a serious illness but it's their choice the things people do for fame and money these days is sad

Oh, for pity's sake. Much as I dislike Kendra, barely anybody would bat a flippin' eyelid if she was a bloke who left their partner with a young child for three weeks. Are we to presume her partner is too useless to cope and the woman should be stuck home all day? Jesus wept. Apparently it's the 15th century.

Well no that's not true.
I remember being very touched last year by Alsonso clearly missing his baby and totally sympathised with him as a new parent.
I'm sure that he admitted early on that it was a mistake doing IAC because of the age of his baby

I agree. Just like I suspect Edwina wouldn't have raised the issue of children if it was say Kendra's husband who was in the Jungle spouting a similar half arsed philosophy.

It bores me to tears when the ITV2 show (mainly Andy Peters) bangs on about Kendra 'knowing reality TV inside out' and chooses whether or not to get all the stars.

Complete and utter BS, she got the stars because it was an easier task.

Actually I wasn't talking about her being a woman but a parent of a newborn, I would say the same about a man and as I have pointed out in another post, Alfonso Ribeiro did openly miss his baby boy.
So no it was not about a 15th C view of motherhood.

£100K for 4 weeks work and people think she is in the wrong I wonder how many people would turn down that amount of money. when she gets out I am sure she will make another significant amount for Photo shoots. Imo that is a small sacrifice to set up a family for a good few years.

I would have thought a mothers love and presence whilst the kids are young (and the father ill) sets the family up better than money TBH. JMHO

I respect your opinion but imo 4 weeks is a small sacrifice for a lot of Financial security.

She can always earn money - you can never get the time back with your children.

I'm not sure why people see only money as 'setting up and security' - relationships are far more precious.

Kendras own brother has described her as an "inconsiderate psychotic bitch " after she hid her pregnancy from family and told her mother she hopes she dies.

Some people may have formed opinions based on her reality shows and how she behaves.

Why all the debate about a woman leaving her children with her husband why not also debate some of the other camp mates circumstances as well or is it just pick on one camp mate I'm only asking as I can't see anyone ele mentioned before anyone jumps down my throat

Is that a real 10 or her "I did it " and "in my heart I got 10"

Depends what kind of mother you are. Some kids would be better off as orphans, let's face it. I wouldn't over-emphasise a 3-week absence. Little baby kendra still has a better chance of a good life than many others so let's not get sanctimonious about this.

Actually I meant that Kendra seems to be unaffected by this.
I would have been a basket case after 2-3 days, it's not like she can pick up the phone anytime and speak to her children or know that they are ok.
I went away for a few days when my youngest was 5 and I felt awful and missed them terribly.
I used to miss them when I went to work too and you know that they will be fine and looked after but I was talking about the emotional separation as a mother.
Actually, for the record, I would not have left my children for 3-4 weeks for any amount of money. I'm not sure that many new mums/dads would too.

I agree. It's rather sad that some see the pursuit of easy money as being above everything else important in life and even sadder that people defend them with logic such as 'well he/she is richer than you'll ever be' as though that makes them a better person

Or...maybe Kendra just knows all too well unlike a lot of the posters on here exactly what it entails to live with very little money or no money, maybe she's more aware of the fact that it's a life or death situation and hasn't had the privilege of a family network to support her?

I don't think you should be able to comment on what someone has to endure to make money unless you've actually been there yourself. You might be surprised at what you'll lower yourself to do in desperate times.

If she really needs the money I am sure Heffner would help out! A baby needs its' mother especially as he/she is so young. Also, they change so much at that age Kendra is missing out. I couldn't have left either of my children at any age let alone when they were babies.

Actually, for reasons that I won't go into, I was left destitute (and I mean peniless) by my ex husband and had 3 children to support.
No matter what, there were lines that I would never, ever have crossed and and I really don't think that Kenrda has really had to make any tough decisions in her life.
She chose to go into prostitution at the age of 18 and has lived in the spotlight ever since. I doubt that her children are facing starvation!!

Such sanctimonious judgement on here. I don't like Kendra one bit but this condemnation for 'abandoning' her baby is quite ridiculous. You'd think she was the first parent ever to take up the offer of a nice 3-week earner. Her business, her family arrangements, no one else's. And no one knows her financial situation so suggestions that she doesn't need to do this show are pulled-out-of-thin-air absurd and presumptive.

There's plenty of reasons to dislike her but taking up a 3-week job offer with the potential to earn money afterwards off the back of it is really not one of them.

I agree with most of this.

Well I'm guessing that you got a bit of a break from your desperate situation somehow? either that or you are superwoman.

You don't know what anyone else has been through in their lifetime, what hardships they've endured or what abuse suffered.
Women have always had to make sacrifices to make ends meet, they had to work out in the fields once upon a time to provide for their kids, then they worked long hours in factories, women are still going into prostitution in some parts of the world as it's the only source of income they can acquire, not a pleasant fact, but it's societies fault not their own. There's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Kendra doesn't love and want to achieve a home for her children, so what if she's made mistakes.

If you were a forgiving person you would think twice over attacking her over her past. I'm sure you never made any mistakes like the rest of us at the age of eighteen too?

No body in Kendra's situation HAS to go into prostitution
She made a life choice which has worked out well for her (financially anyway)
She has a partner/husband who earns money too.

btw, it has taken me 15 years to work my way out of poverty and keep a roof over my childrens heads and feed them.
Just sayin
