To quote Rhondda Cameron..

Sometimes I'm patronising. Sometimes I'm sarcastic. Sometimes he's (Nigel Benn) hot-headed. Sometimes Nell says nothing. Sometimes Uri dramatises little things like farts like he's an alien who's never seen one before. Sometimes Tony misses things because he's slightly slower. Sometimes Tara is like a child who's never been able to make a cup of tea. Sometimes, sometimes we are all like that, OK? That's life, that's personalities.

Different people act different ways.

It'd be well for people to remember it.

It would do you the world of good to remember it too.

Pity someone didn't send this to Danny, Larry and Wayne before the series started. No point in trying to explain anything to Adam, mind.

Great quote there from Rhondda.

Accept people as they are, be tolerant of them. Don't be mean-spirited just because someone doesn't have the pack mentality.

If you are going to quote her, best to get her name right. RHONA!

It seems my phone has never heard the name Rhona, but knows the name Rhondda...even though I twice corrected it I never noticed it had changed it back yet again.

Yes, maybe. It's not about anyone just wanting to watch conflict all the time, it could be argued that only a psycho would watch a reality show for that one reason alone. But even when you have contestants who many find to be vile, and even if some of the conflict is uncomfortable to watch, interesting things just seem to happen in a general sense. Dynamics are affected, relationships change, you see positive aspects within people in the face of adversity.

I don't think it was a 'happy' camp at all. Not after Danny and Martin came in. Yes, there was lots of talk about how happy it was; but it had some unhealthy dynamics going on. Carol's reactions while in there and since she came out to some of the behaviour is very telling. It was all very Lord of the Flies.

compared to other years it is and has even been described as such.

I would argue that the social order in there was so rigid and the sycophancy so nauseatingly overwhelming that it was a very unnatural and forced togetherness.

The reaction which greeted Martin sitting on the President's chair kind of sums this series up.

No we watched the same programme. We just watched it differently.

I saw it how you did. The treatment of Martin by Danny and 'King' Larry was appalling, and also the other men muttering and rolling there eyes about him in the background. I was disappointed Joel did this too, I thought he was better than that.

I am glad the girls supported Martin, which is why I want Scarlett to win.
