Surely it won't be long before Joel is the bookies favourite to win.

It's pretty close between Adam and Scarlett for favourite, both roughly 2/1.

But Joel is getting closer to them, roughly about 3/1.

When he makes bitchy comments about people, they are in jest, I think. That's just his personality!

Sorry OP but he comes across as a needy twit who just craves attention. His press release said something like "I'm entering the jungle to boost my profile," says it all.

Right. He just seems like somebody who doesn't take life too seriously at all.

He can come off as judgemental and sly but he's definitely not nasty or malicious as some think. It's just the way he's going about life.

he seems very self-satisfied to me, almost as if he believes his mundane comments in the hut could be passed off as witticisms

So you missed tonight's episode where he told Martin to 'shut his face'?

Or during the task last week where he had a little dig at Martin by quietly saying to Ant & Dec 'Such a weird dude' while Martin was drinking the cockroach mix?

I don't think he is genuine when it comes to Martin, he says he lik es him but there is something about the way he says it that gives me the complete opposite impression. I don't know, its just a load of small stuff that put me off him.
I agree..he is so false..I feel he's a person that you could never trust his word

I haven't seen him snap at Martin at all! Joel's great. I want him to win.
I've not seen him snap at Martin either. The only one who really does that is Larry.

People always have mentioned the way he "bitches", he doesn't. He says things in jest. A lot of viewers have seen him for 2 weeks, I've seen him for around 5 years, and he is always like the way he acts in the jungle.

I still think by and large he's a nice and quirky guy, but being anywhere near Martin seems to bring his nasty side out. I'm not totally sure of him.

I've liked the cut of Joel's jib from the start without knowing anything about him, and I've seen nothing since to change my original opinion of him. He's one of the very few consistantly witty Bush Telegraphians and he's shown nothing but good, tolerant traits in all his trials and his interaction with the other campers.

And contrary to what's been said above in earlier posts, his sarcasm is always generous and he's never shied away from placing himself at the very centre of his own, at times, knowingly awful jokes.

Certainly one of my definite finalist contenders.

So what?

That along with the money is 10000% the reason they are all doing it to boost profile if they say different they are lying.

At least Joel is upfront about it

Of course because one of the biggest reality shows with millions and millions of viewers...who needs that when you can put your own dirty video online

That's the real key to success right

It's fishing for reasons to dislike him

The more famous someone is the more a video like that can be sold for. This is the biggest exposure Joel has ever had being on this show that's why it was sold now

So, the reality is, you've no idea how it came about and whose responsibility it was that the pics ended up online but yet were still 100% sure earlier about how awful he was and what a bad example he was setting....

Right.

Clearly, it's not Joel that warrants the bigger facepalming around here.
