Depends what you want from the series really but I'd like to see nice celebrities who don't reveal themselves to be arseholes, get along with each other, a mix of them all attempt each of the trials put in front of them and they can all have a laugh.

Therefore this series was the best for me.

If you prefer starving prima donnas having rows with each other and the crew setting up trials only for them to be left undone then this wasn't your year.
Very good post.

It started well but didn't really go anywhere. Trials lacked variation/imagination at times. Not having any TOWIE/MIC types (apart from Scarlett) was a refreshing change but there were a few too many dud campmates. Overall I'd say it was OK, real room for improvement next year.

I agree, this series has been so bad, that I haven't even watched it in the last 5 days.
I am not bothered either, about won or not...as I knew it was always going to be Scarlett.
TBH, I think the series has had it's day, and it's time to put it to rest now. Predictable and boring.

this was definitely my favourite ever series. Loved it all. You could tell Ant and Dec did to. It's almost erased the memory of last year's car crash and that vile so-called 'Lady' . People wanting chavs brawling should stick to Big Brother

Indeed . if there was a problem it was that they picked a team who could do all the trials - which made the trials even more predictable, and poinlessly gross . And their only response to that, was the trial that no one could possibly have done. They have a problem there - escalating the difficulty of current trials isn't a good way out of it. Nor is going back to a camp with incompetents , who will be picked on by the public - that just produces hunger, rows, depression and failure.

As more capable, successful, campmates, with enough food, are happier too, you get a different show. If they go down that route again, perhaps they ought to cut the predictable criters and foul meals, and replace them with more physical, adventure, and logical tests.

You don't have to have either a big love fest OR chavs brawling. (Why Chavs?? some of the best arguments have been far from chavvy)

I would like a middle ground

I really liked the show this year, liked most of the contestants at the start, then found that the one I wasn't keen on before the programme became one of my favourites and my early favourite became the only one I ended up disliking! The main thing that I got bored with was the sameness of the trials, next series i would prefer to see less critters on the head and more physical/ puzzle type challenges just to mix it up a bit

Taintedmeat - you sad git! Just because YOU found it boring, you really had to tell people that YOU found it boring and now YOU think it should end, despite millions loving it?! How bizarre. Why not watch another show and stop pointless moaning??

For me, I can't remember enjoying a series of the show this much for years. It has just been so nice to watch. A proper feelgood series, even the contestants that had moments of being an arse, were not horrible people, they just had occasional moments. I feel sad for those of you that prefer to see nasty people arguing and falling out or crying about nothing. That isn't entertainment to me. And its been much nicer to see trials shared among everyone, I hate it when the public choose the same person day in day out.

Also, this>>> "If they go down that route again, perhaps they ought to cut the predictable critters and foul meals, and replace them with more physical, adventure, and logical tests."

The cyclone is by far the best game of the whole series, everyone knows it. I'd love more of this kind of challenge, we don't need to see them eating things every day.

I understand the viewing figures have been very good this season? And it does seem that Ant n Dec have really enjoyed this series too. So fingers crossed, that next year, we get more of the same. Too much doom and gloom in the world already.

I found it boring. The only reason I watched was for Martin . As soon as he left I didn't bother anymore.
But I like to see character's who have conflicts and don't get all the stars.
This lot got all their stars (and I'm sure they had extra time)
Wayne and Sam had zero charisma. Larry was a miserable old fool.
Ant and Dec kept telling us and anyone who would listen that it's one of the best shows
Total predictable bore fest

Most boring series to date with a winner to match Adam and Joel were robbed.

I honestly think that what spoiled it for me was the obvious favouritism from the producers/editors for Scarlett, Adam and Joel. It just killed the whole thing this year for me.

Dumbed down Tv to the lowest denominator. You get what you deserve.

when they come out they say they really enjoyed the whole thing, best thing they have ever done.... it should be the worst experience they have ever had....all the meals they have taste great it seems, kangaroo tail, crocodile feet, whenever they cook it .

All very tame, especially now everyone realises that the critters in the trials are harmless. When you get contestants saying they would like to go back in, then you know it was no real challenge.

It was the worst so far for me.

I think the trials were too easy, and they had too much food. Not enough mind games. Not enough arguments. Not enough hunger, deprivation, discomfort or torture.

It's what the show's all about. I want to see people suffering and at each other's throats.

Agree,It was dire with the most obvious outcome ever.
We knew and she knew she would win before she went in.I feel sorry for people wasting their money voting for anyone else..
She played a blinder and fooled the public with her "innocent" little girl act.

Ant and Dec seemed to have lost a lot of their comedy value this series and in parts looked bored with it.

The live trials involving animals have never sat well with me. In this day and age using animals for entertainment is wrong.

The blatant championing by ITV of Scarlet was so obvious and ruined the program. There were many times when some other camp mates might as well have been back at the hotel because all we were seeing was the Moffat show.
