Was utterly and completely uninterested in this thread until I saw Wile E Coyote's name under 'last post'. Worth it. Properly worth the click. Now that's my kind of wall-to-wall cynicism, right there. I love your restaurant-critic-with-severe-marriage-issues style of prose, WEC.

Thinking of applying to go on The Chase. Think I would absolutely smash the top prize when Anne is ruled out of The Final Chase on medical grounds...

Id do most of the trials. But not a chance id have got in that tank with the carpet pythons for any money.

The eating ones... they should give them a sumbuls after 8 pints, an absinthe, 6 blue wkd and 28 smirnoff ice! Thats a trial.

Great series so far. These last few trials have made me think that maybe all the trials should take place in front of the rest of the campmates - they play to the crowd a lot more.

Harry looks like a great bet for winner.

What I like about this show is no one can keep up a pretence under those circumstances for 2/3 weeks. The real person has to start coming out. I have always said (including on this very thread) that I have always hated 'Arry Redknap, but the more I watch this series the more I have to say I'm actually getting to quite like the man. He's unpretencious, gets stuck in and is actually quite hilarious. I also liked the bit where he said of the trial, 'Course I'm gonna do it, my grandkids are watching'. Great guy, great bunch.

Also I wouldn't might a couple of hours with Rita, she is a very sexy woman. Oops, stop it you perv.

Just on 'Arry, wasn't his defence for that tax jobie that he couldn't read? He doesn't seem to be having too much trouble with the instruction sheets in there.

Agree about Harry - I never liked him and have seen close up that he definitely has another side to him. He's also shown that the pressure of a football manager and losing can bring out the worst in him.
In this though he has come across as a decent bloke who is good company and like you say good sense of humour. He is due to be on one of the "I`ll get this" programmes on BBC2 on Tuesdays...which will probably show the same side of him we are seeing now.

Still cynical that anybody who ever goes in is doing it to simply carve out the next part of their career or rebrand themselves into something new. Part of me thinks Harry is doing this aswell but then again not sure he needs the money or has any desire to launch a new TV career like the rest of them.

To be fair he had to read a letter out that had been sent into someone and he struggled with the simplest of words.

Definitely. Anne wouldve failed yesterday if she was on her own. Dont think its so much playing up in her case more the support. But the head to heads with likes of nick will always be competetive.

Definitely. They cant keep up a facade for so long especially when so hungry and tired. They all seem genuine with the exception of Sair to me.

Was wondering why you think Sair is false? For me she's barely had any screentime in which to make me form an opinion of her at all.

I think that is normally the case but many of this lot are quite current and don't need the proverbial leg up to their career. Barrowman is never short of work and the guy out of Hollyoaks and the girl out of Coronation St are okay workwise. 'Arry doesn't need it. Nick Knowls is probably okay and Edmonds needs nothing at his age. Perhaps Rita is looking for work but if she is struggling I could certainly find something for her to do.

All in all a decent bunch I think.

I have a little bet with my wife that Sair will be the first to go. Nothing wrong with her but she has been a bit 'anonymous'.

Three front runners for me are:

Redknapp
Edmonds
Barrowman
(with a little nod in the direction of Knowls)
Can't see any of the grils doing it this time.

She hasnt been on much thats fair enough. Just a few small things. Like she overly laughed at things that werent intended to be funny and just a few snippets. I am probably wrong. We probably wont see enough to know. Will probably be her voted out first followed by Maliq.

She will 100% be first to go unless Anne was to walk. But she has grown into it.

I'm surprised Anne can walk at all, to be fair. But she comes across as a very decent person. As a quizzer, I could probably talk to her all day. I'd love her to win, but can't see it.

The chap from Hollyoaks I think will go first. There appears to be nothing to him.

I wasn't for one second accusing you of being racist. I'm on about the increased number of people pretending to be offended about everything in life. 2 non-white people go out first and second, expect it to be mentioned in the newspaper.

Hey bud I've thought of isms that could be used as an excuse for none to be voted out:
Malique = Racist
Sair = Racist
Fleur = Mixed-racist
John = Homophobism
Harry = Ageist
Noel = Ageist
Anne = fattist and disablist (is that even a word?)
James = Nobodyist
Nick = Beardist
Rita & Emily = Fitbirdist. (this could also apply to Sair so she will NEVER leave).

There you go - they daren't fire anyone. It'll go on forever.

I am quite looking forward to tonight's task though, as Sair was pretty good with the green ants in her only trial so far, but Malique was big time panicking every time he's had to do anything involving critters.

Although it looks like an eating trial this time rather than one involving live creatures.

Given Holly and Dec said something like, "poor things, it's the worst one ever," at the close of last night's show, I'm expecting something utterly disgusting.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Wed Nov 28, 2018 12:35 pm

Not bad. She was over 20 before the trial. She could be a very good bet.

I think Fleur and Rita have the bottle to do any of the tasks and both have character. But perhaps being good at the tasks may work against them.

Probably to see if they have anything to offer. Its probably a good thing for both as the trial may give them a reason to be voted to stay in. Might be bad news for James though...

Strange, the youngsters are all the least involved... perhaps they cant socialise without their mobiles!!!

It may just be ITV Showing what they want to show, but the three of them all seem to lack anything in character.
