She's just gone to the Diary room type thing to ask to leave. This time she seems quite serious. She's gone with Cat, who seems to be her new best mate.

Pretty sure she's going.

I fell asleep in front of the TV & have just woken up to se her go off crying with Cat. It certainly looks as though she's going. How could they get it wrong in thinking the first would go tomorrow or have Ant & Dec made the mistake?

Is it just a case of having a bad day or is she serious. Looks like it's up to the production lot to talk her out of it. She does seem pretty serious doesn't she?
Perhaps they'll let her have a bit of 'time out' like Rhona did last year.Though Fash is saying his piece now. That'd be enough for me to pack up there and then!

On another note, looks like Catalina and Chris were getting a bit cosy didn't it?

Indeed Tally... A few of them were playing a ball/word game earlier, and Chris accidently threw the ball in Cats face, so she threw it right back in his with the word "kill". Quick exchange, that had it been in a tacky B Movie, probably would have ended with them ripping each others clothes off.

When she's being natural, Cat is actually quite nice. Like the way she was with Dani. But a lot of the time she seems to put up a front, full of silly facial expressions and nervous nonsensical ramblings. It's a shame really, because she'd be a lot more attractive if she got that moody look off her face.

Phil's having another depressing one as well.

If Daniella goes, does Rusty come in?

It sounds as though she's made her mind up to go- Cat was asking her to pass a message on to her agent, whom Danni knew at school.
I missed Chris & Cat getting cosy! I saw him following her around with a hound-dog look & he escorted her to the loo last night because of the rat but she's eat Chris alive!!

she's gathering all her stuff together now.


Now that she's going, I wonder who will be next to play the sympathy vote.

Thank goodess for the spoilsports Just tuned in and couldn't figure out what was going on. Thought I'd missed an eviction somehow. Still can't get the time differences together and keep getting confused which is live and which is repeated. Spent ten minutes wondering whether I dare ask but thanks to dear gazza I didn't have to worry. I wonder if she is so convinced that she will be the first out that she's decided to make the decision herself. There are people aren't there who reject first before they get rejected...I'm sorry, I was getting to like her, I hope she stays.

I think she's genuinely missing her kids, and that's it. And to be honest, I don't think she gives one toss about anyone having sympathy for her.

It was the popcorn that did it!!The paltry reward for the task.

It's usually the popcorn that does it for me when I see a movie. Bloody prices are just disgraceful.

I bet the production team had a pizza ready for them but decided to eat it themselves.

is she planning to stay in the hotel until the others get out or is she flying back to her children as soon as her husband arrives? Is he meant to arrive today?
Am I being very cynical if I say that she's out to get a lot of sympathetic exposure by walking now?

I heard her say that she would be calling home. I guess once she has seen her husband and spoken to her kids she will feel alot better. She could hang around, but I doubt it.

Cynical, and British, yes.

Well what a pathetic bunch they are all of a sudden. They've only been in there for almost a week and they're screaming starvation. They're hardly going to die are they if they only have one meal a day for a couple of weeks. I can see that bag of popcorn being a catalyst for all sorts of goodies

She's gone !!!

No point her staying there if she is that miserable will just pull all the others down. What they all need now is a large feast of crocodile steaks and fillet of wallabies, washed down with a crate of fosters, that will cheer em all up.

no she's not. ... she is stretching this out a bit

Yeah, or a good shag.

Looking at Daniella's history of drugs, she must be used to reaching out for whatever when things don't go right. Maybe the drugs have been replaced by food or something but she really isn't coping well. The popcorn thing seems to be made worse by the fact that she was leader at the time. She said the worst thing was watching her group's faces when they opened the chest and it only contained popcorn. She said that they looked so down and disappointed that she could hardly bear it. She felt that the production team were being really mean to them and it wasn't fair. I suppose in the old days, in a situation like this she would have reached for the drugs. I really wanted her to do well because I think it would have boosted her self esteem no end but I think she is rejecting the jungle before she thinks we will reject her. It's such a pity

Ah gazza, great to see you puting the 'new man' point of view

She hasn't gone yet. She still has to see the psychologist. Is it the ubiquitous Brett? because he's a miracle worker.
Remember Jade's turnaround last year?
Must admit, she looks really happy now she's decided to quit. You and me both love. Mind, I'd never have volunteered in the first place. Not for all the "raised profile" in the world.
I see she's made Wozza leader in her absence.

I think she has a Koala Bear in that backpack.

Celebration Song

Once a jolly bagwoman camp'd by a billabong
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree
And she sang as she sat and waited till her billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Daniella with me

Waltzing Daniella, Daniella my darling
You'll come a-waltzing Daniella with me
And she sang as she sat and waited til her billy boiled
You'll come a-waltzing Daniella with me.

They all went on a downer yesterday when they were told the first one would not leave until Tuesday (Monday UK) and there was another vote for Bush Tucker Trials by the public. They had all geared themselves up to the start of evictions.

Do you think they may show her some of the more positive emails to persuade her to stay. I'm sure if she knew she wasn't the favourite to go she might stay around.
