does anyone have any ideas as to why he keeps being chosen? seems unfair to me when a lot of the others have literally done nothing.

Because aside from him and Martin, the rest have had bland reactions to pretty much all of the trials and tasks.

Them two are also probably the biggest personalities in camp and therefore most in people's minds when it comes to the votes

there's no point now that he has forgotten he is scared stiff of creepy crawlies

yes, he's been on a journey and overcome his fears

probably learnt something about himself as well

Or has become de-sensitised to them having been around them for 2 weeks

I was the reverse of Adam. As a young child (aged 3 or 4), my dad used to lift me up to take huge house spiders off the wall and I'd carry them outside. They really didn't bother me. Then when I was 6 or 7, I watched Dr Who and the Planet of the Spiders where enormous spiders used to climb on people's backs and become absorbed into their bodies before taking over their minds. I've had a dreadful phobia ever since.

Strangely, I can tolerate spiders more outside, as for me, they're in their natural habitat. But inside the house, especially the quick movers, have me screaming the place down. Probably because I feel trapped in an enclosed space with them. And, as a child, an enormous house spider ran across my chest when I was in bed, and that added to my phobia.

But people can and do become desensitised to their fears. I think that's what has happened with Adam.

He really did fake the spider phobia just to get more trials

Because the British public are boring and narrow minded. It's the same year after year. The public keep voting the same person in trial after trial. They did it with Helen Flanagan a few years ago. I'd rather see a different person each night do the trials.
What they should do is make a rule that if someone's done a trial then that person can't be voted to do the trial next day. That way it would stop people voting for the same person day after day.

They want to see him earn his money

His brothers and pals (Danny Miller is one of them) are barraging twitter every night encouraging all their followers to vote for him - given that the voting is largely social media based, its not difficult to see why he's winning (if that's the right word to use) any voting contest.


I suspect, due to this social media backing, he'll be a strong contender to win.

There is no way somebody, who was afraid of spiders, would overcome that fear in two weeks going as far to put a big spider in ones mouth. He's faced his phobia my eye. Big game player that's all he is.

There;s only 3 possibilities why Adam and Martin are doing trials.

1. Because they have the most screen time of anyone else.
2. Because people don't like them/want to see them suffer
3. Because people like them and want them to do well.

I think both of them have aspects of all three points. They are marmite characters. Looking online they are both liked and disliked in equal measures + they have the most airtime.

Have you never seen Mr and Mrs Speakman cure phobias in an hour on This Morning.

The voting should change now to give the others a chance to not get so many stars so they will be hungry and not so nice

Because of his original reaction to spiders in the shack with Joel...that got him his first vote ..and then his OTT reaction on his trial...that made sure he got further votes as well......you'd never guess he was an actor would you !!!

Thought he just played himself in Emmerdale
