So we've established that his behaviour is consistent with how he acts in a soap. He may be a very good actor (I've never seen him in the soap), so he will know how to act to achieve certain effects.

Does that make him a fake?
I watch Emmerdale and no he's not the same on IAC. He's more seious in Enmmerdale because of his role. The only similarity is basically his age

Of course Adam is faking, his dislike of spiders is not real otherwise he would never be able to put one in his mouth. He is ridiculous now.
I agree with you - if it were real and he wasn't being fake fake fake - he'd never have been able to pop that spider in! - Acting up for airtime IMO

I don't think his spider fear was/is faked. He's also incredibly competitive so it's not a stretch to believe that familiarity has, over time and exposure, bred some degree of contempt as far as his spider fear goes.

He can be annoying at times and I've gone back and forth on him, but his constant good nature and ability to stay mellow in the face of whatever's thrown at him is winning.

If he ends up as King, he'll deserve it.
Well said - totally agree.

Even though his spider 'phobia' is highly exaggerated in my mind, I actually really like Adam!

I think he's been genuinely sweet to Martin and his acceptance of him has caused the whole group to accept him. I think he's genuinely a really lovely fella. Plus I like his windups - he has a good sense of humour and he's made the show really enjoyable.

I know people on here don't like him cos he's the typical slightly dim reality TV type like Joey Essex, but I think that's being a bit snobbish. I think he's been great.

I'm usually very skeptical with people on reality TV shows, but I don't think he is really.
He might be exaggerating his behaviour, but that might be down to his personality and is used to doing it as an actor.
I think that on the whole it's actually really him expressing how he feels and that he isn't being dishonest with the viewers.
I may be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Think that sums my feelings up. .harmless enough, just an irritant, which is maybe why he and Martin get on. I think they are drawn to similar effervescent characters they can bounce off.

There you go again, the answer isnt clearly no at all. It may be to you. As for this argument that he's not acting and he's the same as he is in the soap, absolutely ridiculous. So does he appear in every episode jumping about and OTT laughing. Do you know the guy? If not, your work is guess work, no different to the rest of us.
ive explained my pov clearly, ive re-read it/them, i have no idea why any reasonable intelligent person could not understand that. but maybe you just dont want to admit that ive made a compelling argument that supports my pov.

hes been on more them emmerdale you know, ive seen him on several programmes, in interviews and suchlike over the years. if you are familiar with his soap character, you would see that he is being himself, the character he plays isnt acting, he is just being who he is, like danny dyer whos tv roles are just him being him.

i watch emmerdale regularly (though i dont know why half the time) its the only soap we watch. we are very familiar with him, he will never be considered as an acting great, because he simply cannot act. i cba, but go and find clips of him, you will see that his 'acting' roles and real life roles are one of the same.

its true that on emmerdale he follows a script, but do you seriously think that outside his adam barton persona he is any different?

see, this is the crux of the matter... and where the disagreements come from.

there is no evidence whatsoever, that the person he is in the jungle, is any different to how he is in real life or even on set. THATS why he is not 'fake', or 'putting it on', his behaviour is totally in line with an exuberant young man and as ive stressed, its one i can relate to, and its one ive seen many times.

you are not wrong at all... and he is not being 'dishonest with the viewers' which is why he is not 'fake'.

so now youre agreeing that hes not putting it on, but is being drawn to 'similar effervescent characters'...

Not at all but you would have "to be intelligent" to understand what I've said.

i have understood what youve said, youve offered no evidence, no reasoning, to counter my point of why hes not being 'fake' or 'putting it on'...

look at this another way..... go 'down town' on friday/saturday night... go to a pub full of footy fans... youll see excitable young men 'effervescing' in exactly the same way adam is in the jungle... are they 'being fake'?...

what i see with adam is exactly the same thing, he is being a typical young fella, he is being true to his persona..... therefore he is not 'putting it on'

To be fair none of us know if he's being fake or not. We just have to go with our gut. Seeing him in soaps or interviews is not knowing him.

Charm offensive still in full swing I see. What could this dumb old pensioner know?
I would never dare challenge or offend your self acclaimed superiority (complex)

The general crux of your posts on the subject read like: I believe this so it's true, everyone who disagrees is an idiot.

Adam doesn't strike as intelligent enough to follow a more nuanced game plan. It seems that many saw through his BS quite early on in the series.

i dont suffer fools gladly.

not really, i have no problem at all with differing views, i do have a problem with lazy half arsed cliches and my biggest bugbare is the old 'fake' label. i have reasoned why i hold the view i have over adam, no one has been able to counter that view with a reasoned response. adam is doing nothing more then hundreds if not thousands of young men do when in company. they get excited and exuberant. - now how can anyone actually say that this isnt what adams doing? and supply a reasonable explanation why? ..... so continue to lazily say 'hes fake' is what an idiot would do!

true... but what we see is the same character as we see in the jungle.

as i see it theres two choices... hes either playing up deliberately, acting out a persona 24/7 for upto 3 weeks making him a calculating, intelligent, master actor (fake) - or - hes a typical young bloke, full of life and testosterone, not overly bright, we know hes not an acting great, he gets excitable and exuberant and often ott (but not fake)... its pretty obvious which he is.

The mask is slipping tonight. Behind the "fearful noise" impressions that sound like Scooby Doo and the cheeky lad mask of fakeness there sits a nasty piece of work.
