Anyone else notice that she had lots of ciggies when she returned to the camp ..... yet, a few hours earlier there were none there. Granada clearly feared her walking !!!

I read Westy only agreed to enter the jungle after all the crocs had been replaced with Louis Vuiton ones

How unlike the rest of us then joon.

Happily I'm not the production company's accountant nor do I own any shares so I for one don't give a toss.

Still it's nice to see that the knife grinding francise is still in operation on the site.

What's going on with Daniella now? I've heard two comments this morning: Danni: 'You can have my stuff when I go tomorrow' and earlier talking about making the documentary AWT: 'Perhaps they are doing this for Daniella's leaving show'
Sounds like they are either 'fixing' the vote so Daniella goes tomorrow or she is still leaving determined to leave. Alternatively she could just be being pessimistic.

It sounded quite definite didn't it...should have got up earlier I wonder if she's decided to wait until the first eviction but wants to be the first to go.

I would have liked Daniella a lot more if she could converse about anything other than herself. She's very needy isn't she? It looks like poor Kevin has to be there for her all the time! Some time or another she's going to realise that an equal partner is far healthier. What happens if Kev starts being fed up with being her nanny.
Oh, and the way she speaks about herself- she's a walking therapists dream. As bad as any Hollywood actress who turns to her shrink at the drop of a hat.

I agree with Tally about her being self-centred; I also think that that is the reason the producers wanted her in in the first place. Let's face it - a lot of people tuned in just to get a look at THAT nose etc without make-up, and to see if she would ralk about her past. (Or is it just me and my wicked curiosity) In the same way, Les Dennis's traumas were terribly real and hurtful for him, but made for good viewing, and almost certainly increased the viewing figures and tabloid inches devoted to the programme.

To be honest, I did tune in partly because I was curious about her, in a rather selfish way. My pre-programme view of her was, I'm sorry to say, based on what I'd read and I felt a bit cheesed off that someone who had a great opportunity (and looks)had blown both by drug abuse. Then, just to show life isn't fair, she lands herself a millionaire. The cruel streak in me felt jealous that she has such an easy life whilst I struggle to fit in a full time nursing job with two young children and a partner who works equally as hard. I suppose it's human nature to feel a bit negative.

I have warmed somewhat to her, however. She seems sociable, to have learned from her mistakes and to genuinely miss her children. She undertook the challenge in the right spirit. It's also difficult to estimate just how you will react to being away in very different circumstances until you actually do it.

My first reaction to being offered a chance to do something like this would probably be to say yes - it's only two weeks away, for heaven's sake, but then an innocuous comment or action would probably remind me of one of my little devils and have me going all weepy. I would also probably talk about myself/family - that's what people like to do, not just celebrities.

Danniella must have been getting a lot of votes that they needed to keep her in for another day & night. They might also be waiting for her husband to arrive as he is obviously her prop. The longer she stays in the camp- the less hotel bills they have to pay (if the tabloids are to be believed!!)

I've had to switch off - her sour face and incessant whining is doing my head in. The will she/won't she facade is boring and deflects all the attention from the others. The 'miss my kids' sobbing is quite wearing since she's being doing it since Day2.

Where did she think she was going?

Get her out!!!!

just caught a few minutes of ITV2...not only is Daniella grinning like crazy, she's summing up ver verdicts on the group to Chris. She told Chris that she'll pop up to Manchester to see him. Chris pointed out that her husband will be on his way....


.....and then the ITV2 announcer cut to Emmerdale a few minutes early.

So is she staying or is she going????????

I know, how infuriating was that. I just got back from walking the dog and there they were, very cosy on the sofa. I haven't seen Chris so animated since the show started. He seemed to genuinely like her. Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow. I hope she's not going.

The way I understood it was that "She thinks she will be the first to go tonight" and not that she is walking out. But I could have got it wrong. Poor girl it will be Fash or Sian to go (hope so anyway)

I thought I heard earlier that tonight when we see all their videos asking us to keep them in, she will be asking the public not to vote for her.

That's going to really work for her isn't it ? The public are mean (hence Fash doing all those trials). If somebody wants out, do you think they are going to make it that easy for her ?

I think they all said the same sort of thing as asked to do by the producers but thinks she has no chance of staying and will be voted out first. Thats just what I picked up watching late last night but we will have to wait and see. I say keep her in she will be pleased in the long run.


Vote Sian or Fash to go Please..........................

Hi, my first post here.

Daniella said she'll definately be going even if she's not voted. I saw it live at 11.11am Aus Time. She wants to be voted out but if not she'll go anyway tonight.

Welcome Housedoctor, do you think she might be saying that so if she was voted out she could then say I wanted to go anyway to save face. I think shes quite insecure about her self and not sure how the public are taking to her. Even though she comes across as confident maybe shes not.

LOL...just registered to say the same. From what I was watching live this morning she is definitely going regardless of the vote. She did say at some point when they all do there messages she said to please vote for her, that she wants to leave and that others want to stay. That sort of thing.

I saw a bit of when she was sitting with Chris running down her opinion on those there while it was live and then ITV cut off at that point to replay. That was irritating since it was still live and interesting. From the bit I saw it was pretty much positive what she had to say about the others. She was talking like she was definitely 100% leaving no matter. Was saying just one more night and then I´ll wake up and it´s the last day. Chris saying they´ll reveal the vote as soon as they wake up(I don´t know if that´s right) but the point is she was all excited and cheerful it was soon to be over.

If she doesn't get voted out but goes anyway I think she's guilty of the charges of manipulation and attention-seeking.

What's the point of hanging around just to hear the results of the vote if she's going either way? And continually talking about who she'll leave what to and what messages she'll give to the others' friends & families - she's been doing this for days now, it's definitely hogging the limelight and insensitive.

Thanks manleesam1

Don't think she'll safe face with her new found friends if she did that. She's definately going.




lol Mabri, are you my twin!

She did say she wished she had gone yesterday as planned but the producers pleaded with her to stay. I think it will save having to get a replacement if she happens to get evicted.

Oh I´ve never been an evil twin. Sounds fun

Yeah, when she came back yesterday(or whenever it was I´m mixed up between all the time zones) after Cat walked her up when she was telling them she was leaving I thought OK she had a pep talk and realises 7 more days isn´t the end of the world. So I was surprised to see her saying she was definitely going. So I guess they talked and talked and they convinced her to stay an extra day to see if she does get voted out first.

Wouldn´t really be fair to walk out a day before the vote *if* she was leading only to have #2 get the boot would it.

What was funny to me was how supportive Cat was when she first made the trip only to have her whisper to Linda when Dani came back down how manipulative and unfair she thinks the whole thing is. Guess Cat was supportive of her leaving, not what she wanted.

The poor baby is feeling very sorry for herself and wants the rest of us to feel sorry for her. She has had such a tough life has'nt she, (poor babe). No proper food for a week, oh shame, sleeping out in the jungle with all those nasty crocs and nasty celebreties (poor babe). She is talking the nation into voting her out with her feel sorry for myself antics, so when it happens she can say see poor me, poor me, i knew they all hated me (poor babe), and if she isnt voted out she said she is going just to tell u all that she is suffering the most and has to go (poor babe).

Well I think its all totally bloody hilarious.

Ant n' Dec nearly piss themselves laughing when Fash is doing his "focus/come on" then punching routine. They can hardly keep a straight face. And neither can we as we dial up again for him to do another Bush Tucker trial.

Then the Shall I Stay Or Shall I Go Now fiasco that is Daniella Westbrook. Who Cat comforts then when she decides to stay says she's "Pissed off now" - hard luck Cat!!!

Antony "I'm speaking to my agent" Worral-Thompson is a chef (don't tell me my bloody job).

Phil Tufnell - he's great but this expression comes across his face sometimes like "what am I doing here with this lot".
Chris Bisson - he's the male equivalent of Nell off the last one, have hardly heard him speak.
Toyah - I'm just fascinated with her plaits.
Linda Barker - she could win.
Wayne Sleep - annoying.
Sian Lloyd - can't think of anything to say about her.

Oh and the motorised crocodiles and the Bush Baby (who looked more scared than John Fash) have to get our vote.

Are we supposed to take it seriously? I have no idea. But it is funny. Ant n' Dec have me in stitches while they take the piss.

10/10 for entertainment.
