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.
I think Mel was amazing in all her trials, she did a variety too and shone in all of them. Nadia shied away from a few.

She failed the tomb trial. The others apart from Kendra and Jimmy did just as well, . especially Edwina at 68 years old. Nadia did well in the trials she took on.

Edwina was my winner in the trails, she did brilliantly.

I missed that one, was that a group trial?

Me too and they say exactly the opposite.

She was no better in trials than Edwina or Jake either.
LOL, fair enough! I guess individuls aren't gonna be loved by everyone, but my pal says by and large everyone got on great with her, male and female, old and young.

I've never met her but for me, she's been a breath of fresh air, has contributed way more to the show than many others, and would be a more than worthy winner. The dislike for her seems a little bizarre, based on not too much from what I've seen- you'd read some comments online and you'd think she was some kind of mass murderer!

For me she was far more impressive in trials, and indeed as an overall jungle campmate than Edwina or Jake, and many many others. She's obviously appealing to enough of the public to vote her as the last female standing which in itself is an achievement.

I guess it would be boring if we all liked the same ones, so each to their own, but she'd be a fantastic Queen of the Jungle in my book.

And I would beg to differ on that bit in particular

Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course!

Indeed it would be boring and I disagree with everything you've said about her.She's also done no better in any of the trials than anyone apart from Jimmy and Kendra.
I will leave out her cooking control farce.

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.
Hate is a very harsh word, I have never hated anybody in my life. How can you hate somebody who you don't actually know personally!

Why blame Edwina or anyone else for Mels personality? She's so mixed up and a control freak. No she didn't lose her temper. Instead she used nasty passive aggression, stomped off in countless huffs and bitched behind Edwina's back to whoever trailed after the childish fool. Hardly grown up behaviour in anyone's book.
