I'm so smitten , I even watched her destroy someone's kitchen in 'Changing Rooms' last night ..

On ITV2 a little while ago she was teaching Wayne how to read a compass, which was very sweet. She's a resourceful lady.

I wouldn't say she is a beauty but she is coming across as a genuine, good-natured woman.

Oh dear. There must be something about her when everyone likes her, but I'm struggling to see it. Her accent annoys me, but it's not just that - she just seems really dull. Her conversation isn't exactly sparkling, and her strategy seems to be befriending the main players in camp and keeping her head down - nothing wrong with that, but I'd rather see the real female personalities, like Tara, Christine and Rhona back... they provided real entertainment, and I empathised at times with all three of them in a way that seems unimaginable with Linda (and for that matter the other female contestants on this series).

I just caught a snatch of Antony and Linda alone in the camp and it looked like she had upset everyone. Is she camp leader today?

She said that she'd only tried to motivate them and that they weren't being seriously annoyed with her whilst Antony suggested they really were.

He also added that everyone was already very motivated - what was that all about??

He was joking to an extent although he has picked up on a few of Fash's comments.
Fash had remarked that who would have thought they had created a monster or words to that effect. He made a few more remarks in that ilk the others reacted with humour but he looked as if he meant it.
Strikes me Fash likes control and has carried on playing leader with the others, he can see Linda will not let him take control.

From what I saw: Linda had just taken over as leader and was perhaps a little eager in planning the day out and making her mark. Phil and Fash were sharing glances and Fash starts spouting about creating monsters and how a good ref should not be seen but gently take control (or something similar), Linda looks a little hurt and says 'You don't want to see me?' Then Phil and Fash beat a hasty retreat to gather wood and Chris tagged along. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there wasn't a bit off grumbling going on between the boys....hopefully it will be on tonight if there was.

Perhaps Fash The Ego feels threatened by strong women too, why not he's scared of just about everything else!

He's dying to take back control of his under-11's footy team isn't he? That's how he seems to view them, to me.

LInda is a top lass. She is far better looking than Kat and she is a genuinely nice person.

She was talking to Toyah about boob jobs this morning.

Linda's lurvely. Before her voice cut through me like cheese wire. Now I would like her to win on the basis that she is nice, surprisingly good fun (in a delightfully random way) and she mopes less than anyone else.

Men always win this sort of gig and I'd love to see a woman swing it - particuarly as they have provided absolutely no male totty for me to lust after...a curious omision.

Not a lover of flat vowels then ??

Could be worse. Get someone on from Barnsley, that's a reet accent tha knows

not flat vowels no. just voices only so high dogs can hear them

by eck I think that lass has a crackin' voice!
I 'ope she wins!
