Jan, Scott , X Factor = reality boredom - I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

mmcd · 21-11-2006, 22:42

In my opinion the reason why the public are voting Jan and Scott for the BTT's is the same reason that the public keep voting the MacDonald Brothers in the X Factor is because of reality boredom. Could it be because we are fed up with the predicability of the reality shows now? I think the public are having a laugh at the producers expense now.

Do you really think the voters are that intelligent? It's more likely general apathy.

gizmocrystal · 21-11-2006, 22:46

Yes it is very boring now

CLL Dodge · 21-11-2006, 22:47

I would imagine very few people are voting.

That votes that REALLY count haven't started yet.

mmcd · 21-11-2006, 22:48

Thats exactly what I am getting at. It IS apathy.

I disagree.
There's a large percentage of voters who think it is funny to vote for her over & over again.
This has happened before.

I expect very few people vote. If they had any intelligence they would vote for the best to compete not the worst, though on Jan's performance she is actually extremely good for an old age pensioner. I couldn't jump out of place at 14,000 feet without passing out.

I agree, the average person who watches this show probably wouldn't even think about that.

moogester · 21-11-2006, 22:50

Is anyone on here voting on the bushtucker trials??

At 50p a go why would anyone bother??

SULLA · 21-11-2006, 22:51

It could all be solved with a simple rule. You can't do a task two days running.

Totally agree. I couldn't jump off a step ladder without someone giving me a hand

The people who vote for the BTTs clearly see them as a punishment and therefore vote for the person they dislike most - it's as simple as that. They don't seem to have the imagination to see that the result of this is that the person they dislike will continue to dominate the programme.

........and it doesn't help when the other junglemates keep telling the chosen one (

) that they're being voted because they're popular and the public wants to see them do stuff...........a certain swagger enters the equation, which makes the public dislike them more, so they vote them again..........

It's a vacuous circle.............

Airam · 22-11-2006, 06:14

It's just so boring this year. There isn't enough live coverage (including ITV2) for me to feel anything about any of the celebs so I definitely won't waste money voting. The Kelly/Jeff segments bore me to tear.

The whole coverage seems to be about the BTTs. There's very little chance to see the celebs interacting. If the women are going to feel sorry for the men and deliberately throw the competitions like Malandra did, what is the point of the 2 camps?

Good idea.

biggeral · 22-11-2006, 09:31

The 2 camps idea has fallen flat on its face. What we are going to see now is that whoever wins the BTT will let the others win the chest challenge as Malandra did yesterday. OK she made a token effort but certainly did not give 100% which made it pointless as a viewing spectacle.

It is getting so boring with the public choosing Jan each time. There are obviouly more people wanting somebody else other than Jan to do the BTT, but the way the show has been edited, this vote is being split as there is no other obvious candidate from the women's team. Even Phina was quiet on the evidence of last night brief show.

In order to stop the show dying on its feet, the producers need to change the rules now so that for the next 2 BTTs they are only open to people who have not previously been voted by the public.

This would mean all the women except Jan and Phina could be selected and all the men bar Scott and David could do it.

Airam · 22-11-2006, 13:41

Dean did a BTT to enter the camp and a chest challenge so he should be excluded too.

Jason did the Operation BTT with Phina so he should be immune as well

Ovalteenie · 22-11-2006, 22:26

scott again tonite for the next BTT

jan, scott, scott, jan, jan & scott, scott, jan, scott...

jodenice · 22-11-2006, 22:29

This is fast turning into the most boring show yet. I'm bored of Jan (weak, whining, whinging, self obsessed, self pitying) and I'm bored of Scott (weak, whining, whinging, self obsessed, self pitying) and thats it, I'm switching off for a little while now, will tune back in when a few people have gone.

electra123 · 22-11-2006, 22:32

it's all jan, scott, phina. coincidentally the three leaders of the most unpopular poll.

it's a huge relief when they show stuff with faith, david, jason and even toby. just because it's not any of the aggressive/whiny/bitchy mob.

jodenice · 22-11-2006, 22:41

The boys camp seems so much nicer.

electra123 · 22-11-2006, 22:45

the boys camp is a virtual heaven by comparison, even through the television screen you can pick up the hostile tension of the girls camp.

who'd have thought it? in the boys camp they are generous, sensitive, empathetic to each other, caring, supportive.

the girls camp really is a snake rock.
