It's a fix.

The only reason Mel outlasted Edwina is because Edwina wouldn't have been able to do the water slide challenge on medical grounds. that would have meant that there would have been only two contestants to do it.

I would have put my pension on last nights outcome, it was so obvious

By the time Mel is 67 people will have to google her to see who she was I suspect. This is already an attempt to rejuvenate her career. She is totally dependant on her appearance and that's fading fast. She has a coupe of years at best then obscurity.
She's gonna look real strange when she's an old , frail woman walking around with those horendous fake boobs pointing straight forward

Tits and veneers. And a couple of chips weighing her down.

Surely if it was a fix they'd have adjusted the vote that ejected Jimmy and they'd have found a way of keeping Gemma happy.

It's funny how people in here are slating Mel but are being meaner than she's been in the jungle. Yes she can be controlling and yes she struggled when she didn't have food but she never personally attacked people as some of you are doing in here.

Edwina is 68, she's had a full life and career behind her, I doubt she thinks being in the Jungle is going to create another one for her, I think she went in there to show her real self and to have some fun. I doubt she planned little more than to get a few after dinner speakers jobs out of this.
But you don't know this, it is just your opinion. If she was just going in for the experience why did she continually goad some of the campmates, trying to make them look bad.. Edwina wanted to win, I have no doubt of that. I bet she is disappointed she didn't get any rumpy pumpy:

[quote=Darcyprincess;75925074]I think you will find that Mel has a massive fan base, she has been 2nd and 3rd favourite all the way through. She is a real tough cookie. You are also forgetting that Mel had very little food for 4 days and looked like she lost masses of weight. She looked so gaunt and thin, more than anyone. Most of the camp mates have said how tough it has been in there and if she had less food than some of the others than it is understandable why she was so low! It doesn't help that the old bat edwina constantly goaded her. She was a saint not to lose her temper with Edwina and have a go back at her.

I hope Mel wins![/QUOTE

They all had very little food in the Wombats. Mel just moaned about it the most. Plus she was far too skinny going in to the jungle. I've hated her, she's a passive aggressive control freak who doesn't deserve to be there.

I know right the amount of threads being opened about her is hilarious. Out of the three the one wouldn't like to win is Jake. Initially I probably would've wanted Foggy to win but after seeing the reactions of some people here I now would like Mel to win. Reading this forum you'd think she's committed murder

Think Mel has been great so she has moaned a bit still like her and would love her to win think this show is a lot harder for women than men admire all the women who take part in this show well done Mel last woman standing
Liking this post

Sorry but Mel is way and above the better person when it comes to Edwina. Just because Mel had those few bad days when she was really hungry she has been amazing. She has done brilliantly in the tasks and is a true warrior. I love Mel because she is real and shows many sides to her character, just like most women do!

I have voted for Mel and she is my winner!
I agree. She didn't eat for 4 days and got stroppy, who wouldn't?! She's been fab at every task / challenge she's attempted. She's been a great all rounder. So she has a go / moan at those who have been pissing her off, so what, so would I.



I wanna know what sort of people are voting to save that moaning, miserable, sour faced bint. Mel has sucked the life out of the show, worst contestant EVER!
I could ask the same as in who is voting for the likes of Jake and Edwina!! A pair of annoying ebarrassing planks. One thought she was the know all and the other is the biggest wannabe on Telly.

As for their 'harmless flirting'...BOAK.

Liked Mel to start of with, liked the way she just got on with it, but the continued gripping when anyone offered an opinion on how to cook, got on my nerves. Then she said you only need a man for sex and now today she wants to find someone to take care of her! ( I suppose that could always be another woman!) Hope she is out next
Hmm I noticed that also. I could hardly believe she had had the nerve to say it. I also noticed that her farewell to Edwina was very desultory with barely a hug whilst the boys had seen her off in grand style.

Edwina did Celebrity Cyclone challenge before she was eliminated so how would eliminating her last night work using that conspiracy theory?

Have never been a big fan of Edwina's, but cant believe the biggest moaner in the camp, Mel, outlasted her.

Who the heck is voting to keep Mel in? What's to like?
Quite agree. She is so objectionable and unlovely.

Edwina is an old far right Tory - thats going to have limited appeal. She seems sexually obsessed - that means limited appeal. She's judgemental, and has very limited and superficial judgement - thats going to limit her appeal. If you are going to offer constant commentary on everyone else, you can't be as rigid and unimaginative as she is. There is a set of the voters who may vote for those criteria, but its probably too few to make the final, just because you are a bigger character than those who have gone. before .


Mel is one of the most impressive performers on task the show has had. She's going to get credit for that. She might sound negative at times, but then so would most people doing much of the work, to considerable second guessing from people who do less themselves. fail at tasks, and volunteer to do less.

It would be silly to not have one of the most capable perfomers face the last task , and put in someone who ,physically, obviously, couldn't do it. At least this way, there is a three way final - though the prettiest bloke will probably win.

I would have preferred Mel to go in the early stages, such an immature miserable control freak.

Apart from Kendra and Jimmy the other three of my least are favourites are in the final.

All I know is, I don't want Mel to win..

I didnt mind Kendra, but didn't agree with her rant although I could understand belatedly it was from the heart and more passionate than we first were aware.

Edwina went into the jungle in the spirit it should be taken and mostly had fun. People like Mel and to a lesser degree, Kendra, will always bring out her bullshit detector. And yes, her lifelong career in politics would give her the nose for those trying to bullshit the public.... And Mel has obviously done so.

I think people are voting for Mel because of their dislike of Edwina and not because she herself and her own bullshit should also be noted.

It will be happy fake Mel for the next days viewing. I hope she's the one who fails at the last hurdle and one of the more 'fun' men win the show, because she's been anything but fun to view.
Couldn't agree more with your post. The only hope I have now is that Mel will be first out tonight. Obviously, each to their own, but IMO Mel has been a real disappointment with her continuous moaning. I enjoyed Edwina in the jungle - she changed my opinion quite considerably.

|Totally agree.

I find it bizarre the dislike for Mel. I know someone who used to work with her too and they said she is an absolute sweetheart.

Seems every little thing she does is blown up into some massive over exaggeration for some reason.

Fantastic jungle mate, amazonian-esque in trials, and probably the most worthy female finalist I've seen for many a year. Head and shoulders above the likes of the dreadful Edwina or Jake. . .

Doesn't seem to be doing Jake much harm - but of course he is good-looking and young so of course that's ok. And with regards to Mel being one of the most impressive performers on task the show has had" that is some call and I would certainly disagree. I can immediately think of two other women without even giving it any further thought - Jenny Bond and Carol Thatcher. Mel has done ok certainly but no better than many others over the years

Has Mel done any better in tasks this year than any female apart from Kendra? I don't think so.

Me too and they say exactly the opposite.

She was no better in trials than Edwina or Jake either.

I don't count Gemma for anything do you.

What did Nadia do wrong in the trials she managed to be given?

What did any of them do wrong apart from Kendra and Jimmy?

Mel certainly didn't do any better.
