No wonder poor Kieran spends so much of his time of late with his head in his hands , and no wonder Ferne, Vicky and George would rather be covered in jungle gore than spend time in camp.”

Kieron said himself that he is sick of Duncan's constant moaning and bossiness, and is close to blowing ( I particularly liked the bit where he asked, incredulously, "Who the f*** sweeps leaves in the jungle ?" )

I hope he 'blows' soon

Actually, in Duncan's defence, as mice are incontinent, they pee all the time so leave a trail of urine everywhere they go. It doesn't matter if Ferne had washed the dishes the night before - as the mouse had been running around over them during the night, they were all covered in dried mouse pee which can and often does carry disease.

Those dishes needed to be washed thoroughly before use for the sake of their own health, and should have been put away overnight, not left out in the open.

And the reason that they can't be seen to do each other's tasks is something to do with the Dingo Dimes challenge which benefits them all.

In which case that would be the camp rule and he wouldn't have had to shove it in her face waking her up. As it happens he wasn't concerned about that he was concerned that Ferne hadn't cleaned it adequately. Much better all round if he'd done the decent thing and washed it himself but that would have involved being decent

Do try to keep up...they are not supposed to do each others' chores. I don't know how much more clearly I can say it.

What's the rule about having to be nasty ba*tards to others if they don't do their chores well enough ?

Both of them are self made men - Duncan in the business world where no one can doubt his success, and Tony in the music industry which is one of the toughest in the world.

Who is Lady C?

A jumped up snob who is a much of an oik as she claims the viewers who vote for her are. She is a nobody who leapt at the chance to marry a Lord 40 years ago, and divorced him almost straight away. She keeps his title because she feels that it some way puts her above other ordinary people ("I am a Lady with a capital L!), but interestingly has given her sons her maiden name.

I challenge anyone who had to put up with her endless foul mouthed rants and name calling, not to mention the whispering campaign she was conducting against them to simply stand there and take it.

She loved the youngsters because they were sitting there lapping up all her bullshine, while Tony and Duncan could see through her”

Couldn't have put it better. Seems to me this woman is used to getting her own way and doesn't like it when people don't comply.

Sorry, but this whole bullying thing doesn't wash with me - I would suggest that her definition of 'bullying' is just a label applied to anyone who doesn't do what they're told and has the temerity to answer back.

As I said before, "much as I hate to defend him". *sigh*

I'm keeping up fine. You seem to be failing to accept that Duncan could have just gone down to the creek and cleaned the pot and no one would have been any the wiser. No rules broken, no fuss.

But then, that would have involved Duncan being a decent human being as opposed to the petty begrudging jobsworth that he is. What can you do.

But that absolutely does break a rule......so how is it no rules broken?

I know, right? Guess some people won't let a mere contradiction get in their way of hating on Duncan. Stinks of desperation to me.
