Just shows how boring it gets when the same person or few people do trial after trial. I thought it was a lovely change watching Nadia and Tinchy, and it was good to see a different side to Tinchy. In the camp he often seems subdued and a bit overwhelmed, but out and about with Nadia he was a real gentleman I thought, always checking up on her and encouraging her.

Yes - I like both of them and I do think Tinchy has been maligned unfairly. As you say he something seems a bit out of his depth when surrounded by many others.

As I said in other posts since Jake came into the camp I switched off on a day to day basis and keep up with through the forum. But that said, when it is a particular thing that causes much debate ( such as Kendra v Edwina etc ) I do watch it all through "catch up".

I agree.

About time the producers got over their favouritism of the airtime editing. Jimmy, Jake and ( though not as much ) Foggy, really are getting it all.

What did Tinchy do in the trial? Apart from moaning about the rain (in a rainforest FFS !)
he did absolutely nothing. Nadia is coming across well tho. Not the airhead we all assumed.

Drat I missed the trial. I only saw the bit where they had a few helicopter rides and went for a couple of walks.

What did the trial involve? The rides and the walks would have been like a holiday to Kendra.

Most of the trials not involving Kendra have been so easy, the last one literally was a walk in the park. ITV are taking all the viewers for mugs.

We didn't all assume Nadia was an airhead - at least I didn't.

The purpose of the trial was to track down Foggy and Jimmy and bring them back. They had to locate locked chests, then liase with the others back at camp to find the code (based on some number jiggling), and inside the chests were codes for the next destination which, again, those back at camp had to identify and locate, and then Nadia and Tinchy jumped back in the heli to get there. A storm stopped them completing the task (the heli couldn't fly, safety reasons) so although they never actually got to where Foggy and Jimmy were, they would have if not for the storm. So they got all 10 stars.

Thanks, I thought that was just a task and I had missed the trial where they encountered dragons and Goblins and stuff.

She never came across as an airhead so your assuming is very wrong.

how has she proved she isn't an airhead, all she has done so far is a bit of freestyle knitting?

It did lack that vital 'terror' ingredient.

So, a trail rather than a trial?

Ho hum, they might get a proper one when Edwina and Kendra have gone.

I really think it is reasonable to grumble a bit about having to sit in torrential rain for extended periods, as well as the fact that the rain made the walking very difficult. If you have never heard anyone grumble about rain you must have had a sheltered life.

And I am puzzled by the suggestion that Nadia came across well but Tinchy did nothing. They did the same, and, as I said, he was endearingly protective and encouraging towards her.
Most of the trials not involving Kendra have been so easy, the last one literally was a walk in the park. ITV are taking all the viewers for mugs.
I really think the hardest trial by some margin was the one Craig and Nadia did.

And Kendra's trials have hardly been unique. Melanie had to crawl in among snakes, rats, cockroaches and scorpions and didn't bat an eyelid. Jake had to complete several stages of his trial while covered in biting ants. The 'getting stars with your mouth from a container full of something scary' is one of the most commonly used trials of all in IAC.

Speak for yourself! Some of us assumed no such thing.

I was glad to see anybody other than Kendra doing something. Its been forgotten that Tinchy already did a main trial by all the panel on the ITV2 show. There are still some people in camp who havent done anything.

Tinchy did do a trial last week and he did reasonably well in it. He had to go through different doors and get stars.

I agree the night Nadia and Craig spent doing the trial was the hardest one yet especially after they had been in jail for a few days.
