I noticed jimmy time after time gets these mysterious tasks that involves generally doing little but getting lots of airtime.

You frequently here the phrase jimmy was chosen but there is never an explanation as to what the criteria was.

I suppose he falls into the cheeky choppy wide boy type character that is nearly always favoured in this

X Factor is so much worse. As is Big Brother

Have to agree, X Factor is corruption personified with regard to favoritism. This show is amateur hour (manipulation wise) compared to it.

Is he really their fave though? Or have they identified that people like Jimmy and Kendra are more likely to be the marmite type people therefore everyone will be talking about them?

I believe Gemma Collins was their original choice but she imploded early on. Craig Charles would have been the next obvious choice and would have romped it. With his personal tragedy, the producers then had to find a new winner - Jimmy Bullard was the chosen one - the airtime, the edits, and the constant ramping on ITV2 gives the game away.

Unfortunately Bullard has run out of steam, and the producers may be thinking of switching horses.

It's all one big game to them.
