what with Rhona Cameron, Benn and dopey Darren Day, they did have a touch of drama ?

at the moment this is a bit too bland, I like to see them getting on but not to this extent, we need to see them start losing some trials and eating rice for a few days

There is a lot bland characters are the ratings holding up

conversations are boring...i mean it wasnt on for 48 hours and still nothing happened. Bored with it this year

I LOVE this cast. I've watched every episode so far and smiled all the way through, with quite a few genuine laughs along the way. What a pleasant relief from the constant negativity and conflict on TV, online and in the real world.

No it doesn't

Characters like that have RUINED shows in the past

it most certainly doesn't , watching awkward relationships , nasty arguments and a disgruntled bitchy camp is the last thing I want to see , I would like to see more chat though and hear what they have to say

Lady C made last year compulsive viewing, cant see anything like that this year

Totally agree, last year it was unmissable, this year is a total snoozefest so far. :yawn:

Watch Jeremy Kyle. Lady C ruined last year.

I'm the same, I liked BB4 and Cameron.

I'm enjoying this series, I find the arguments tiresome.

I like Martin Roberts, I have no idea what Danny Baker is like.

I absolutely hated bb4 mainly because of Cameron but I am loving this IAC. I really liked the back to the old school type characters who seem like the sort of people you'd be happy to have as neighbours rather than the lairy gobshites we've had forced upon us over the last few years

Carefull you are not allowed to say anything negative here or you will have the fans jump on you.
They all get on here and it's so falsely nice much like the camp

Totally agree I'm loving it. Big brother producers take note

Maybe and it's just a shot in the dark, if you didn't make bitchy digs about people here, people wouldn't "jump on you " as you put it.

If you're not enjoying it then that's your view and it's fair buy it's not fair to make comments like the above.

Or even if they didn't make 457 post a day saying howshit the show is and that they refuse watch anymore but yet are back again the following day with a further 694 identikit posts, they wouldn't have any concerns about getting jumped on - not that I've seen that happen anyway

And hurrah for that! I stopped watching all the others (BB etc) years ago, because of this. I really hoped they wouldn't ruin IAC in the same way. I have no problem if natural fall outs happen because someone isn't pulling the weight etc, but hate it when they deliberately put someone obnoxious in just to stir it up.

My thoughts exactly. The tripe that was the last CBB was unwatchable. The only thing wrong with I'm a Celeb this year is the presenters on its spin off show. Other than that i'm loving it.

I am not a massive fan I just like it and I am not going to jump on anyone. It's a personal choice!!! As such I am just tired of the world at each other's throats, politics being antagonistic constantly and Brexit /Americas presidential campaign have both been very aggressive and hateful at times. i just want a break from it , that's all.

It is partly down to the cast but also the tweak in format has helped. It has been the norm in the last few years for the camp to be split into two competing camps from day one. This meant that one camp always went hungry and that led to animosity.

I'm loving this series, it's very "back to basics" and relying on the campmates to be interesting viewing rather than manufacturing angst. I much prefer it like this. Jordan has dropped a few little one liners which have made me chuckle, I like Scarlett's quirkiness, Larry is a legend, Joel is fascinating, Adam is cute.

This is the first time I've been able to watching beyond the first two episodes for years.

Not enough interesting characters imo. They all seem very nice but Joel and Larry have been the only ones having anything interesting to say so far. Watching all the girls practicing cat walking and Carol and Joel discussing maths while Scarlett looks on vacantly just isn't interesting. Hopefully Danny should liven it up a bit, always found him a bit of a prat but at least interesting.

I have seen no evidence of that , but then maybe you see people enjoying something as false as you would prefer arguments ?

I used to love IAC but haven't watched it for several years.
While I'm convalescing I'm watching this on catch-up and I've really taken to the group. It's so refreshing that people get on well and there's no nastiness.
I hope Martin and Danny joining them doesn't unsettle things - especially given what Danny said to Scarlett when he entered camp. I hope he hasn't gone in with an agenda (whether his own or the production team's).
