It must the constant bikini showers - I fail to see how else she's so popular she doesn't do anything

I'm sure last night's task to retrieve the chest won her a few more votes

Because she nice, and hot totty for the lads....blah blah blah....whateva. U think she would have obtained a personality before coming on this show. Im mean u can buy virtually anything nowadays...she shud have tried ebay.

9 stars in a BTT

I never understand why time after time people say these types of things. Do you really think shes the only one who showers? Its the producers not her that decide to show her showering. She cant help that they dont show the others.

Its the same on other shows. The producers choose a good looking female and shoot her in little clothing or upskirt whenever they can, and people seem to blame the person.

Even someone like Russell Brand pointed it out this year when in a single episode they showed Ais' bum in her white prison knickers going through the tunnel about 4 times. Totally unnecessary, although, as a man, I'd say quite nice though.

As someone else said that is the 'role' the producers have assigned

yes I realise that, but I never understand how people will have a go at the contestant for it, as if they had any control over it.

Well she's not Malandra, Dean, Matt, Jan or Jason so that puts her in the top 2 for a start.

Probably cos they're stupid enough to not realise how much the show is edited

Definitely.

and despite what some people say I thought it was a difficult trial.

She has great PR people around her. They keep insisting she's a super-intelligent, serious classical pianist, which appears to give her licence to keep saying really silly things, flit from one awful tv job to the next (did you see her on that execrable Clary 'all star talent' show?) and display her under-fed body at regular intervals in a variety of media. I don't 'mind' her that much, but I wish she'd either live up to her hype or ignore it and sign up for the next Iceland adverts. Big time.

Is she not just paying the bills, like?

And your point is? If she wants to be the next Gail Porter, that's absolutely fine, good luck to her. But if she wants to keep on doing exactly the same things that Porter used to do, while still claiming she's this really bright 'artiste' with great and serious ambitions, well, I'd find that a bit irritating.

And yet we've had "glamorous" female contestants wandering around in bikinis before - but they've never been close to winning.

You need to look beyond swimwear for the answer to your question.

I'm don't read the tabloids or watch much TV so I had actually never come across Mylene before she appeared on I'm a celeb.

I've purely judged her, therefore, on her performance in the show and I would say she's popular because she seems a sane and well rounded person which is unusual in that industry.

In comparison to other glamourous women she seems somewhat more sober and well balanced and she also comes across as a bit of a trouper who is willing to do all the trials without complaint. She doesn't seem vain and she isn't bitch. So I think her appeal is that she isn't the bitchy, vain, shallow person one might expect.

However she is slightly dull which is why I doubt she will win

I also think the edit of her is hampering her. The constant focus on the shower/bikini stuff is not her fault and makes her seem less than she is

It's because contestants must know how it works by now, so there's a suspicion that they're complicit.

For some, it's because she looks good in a bikini. For others, it's because, although she looks good in a bikini, she is not a complete airhead and has a bit more to offer than just posing in a bikini.

I am a little baffled as to why she is quite so popular, given that, although she seems nice, she is not particularly entertaining. Still, she is by far the best of the female contestants, in my view.

Well, a couple have :

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson (runner up)
Sheree Murphy, (runner up)

but the rest haven't :

Sophie Anderton
Natalie Appleton
Kimberley Davies
Nancy Sorrell
Jordan
Alex Best
Catalina Guirado
Nell McAndrew

although, like Brockett, I had a "thing" for Alex

Is Sheree really glamorous? - I can't see that she was getting too many votes from teenage boys with raging hormones.

I really doubt TPT's glamour credentials as well - especially when compared with Nell McAndrew.

Still - eye of the beholder and all that.

The housewives want to mother her?

I don`t usually read the tabloids either, so can only go by what I`ve seen of Mylene on I`m a Celeb.

I think she comes across as a very genuine, kind person, and she doesn`t seem to have any "side" to her at all.

She could've quite easily have had a shower without stripping to her pure white bikini - she could've washed her hands and arms...she's as desperate as Dean to win

You've just had a walk in a hot humid jungle.

Someone offers you the chance of a shower.

You'd keep your clothes on and just wash your hands?

I know right, how DELUSIONAL are some people on here?
