These shows do basically show an unappealing bullying streak in the British public.

Could be simply solved by saying no one can do two trials in a row!

The public are ruining this show for me. I'm a Jan Fan but this is getting ridiculous.

I agree. Although I don't understand what pleasure the public are getting from it. For the past few trials she has become more confident, winning quite a few stars and basically doing them with ease. There are no tears, no screams, it's basically not very eventful television whenever she does one. No wonder they seem to be playing down the trials more and more.

Hi Jan Fans!

Anyway, they are going to struggle with the highlights package for some of them when they get voted out aren't they!

This is probably why they've made the celebrity chests more difficult, back in series 1, I'm sure they just found it and brought it back, the question being the only challenge

Thank god for that! Although I expect Scott will end up being voted for the boys, the way he was screaming

Plus I would have never have thought Ricky Tomlinson would be an avid viewer of the show. Kanagroo Anus my A*se

I think they are just nominating her each time to annoy Jan-- it's getting tedious now though Rolling Eyes I think she is perceived as being a diva/moaner, this maybe down to previous unfair editing by the powers-that-be. Possibly why she is "disliked" so much? Confused It does seem to unfair to me though.

I watched the bug eating trial last night - very boring, they were quite wimpy, though the kangaroo one I doubt I'd have tried.

Don't tell me Jan got picked for the underwater one? This is getting pathetic! Which male this time?

Call me old fashioned, but I don't like to see a lady (or anyone else) being picked on - which is what I consider to be happening to Jan.

As such, I havent watched the last three episodes, because I find it uncomfortable viewing.

Go British public Rolling Eyes

True! I suppose some of the "British public" would argue that nobody forced her into the jungle. I'm sure she must have been aware of the nature of the show before she signed up?

Having said that, it is mean to keep selecting her though! Shocked Well if it gets to her, she can always quit I suppose Cool

Let's hope that Jan Leeming wins the series then, in view of the unfair treatment she is receiving.

The show is billed to end on a Friday.... but why don't they run it until the Monday (to make it 3 full weeks?|)

I'm not sure. I'm guessing it's just to fit in with their schedule. An Audience with Take That Live is scheduled for Saturday 2nd, which would leave no room for I'm A Celebrity that night with the already packed schedule, and I believe 'Extinct' is due to start on Monday 4th.

It's stupid though, it doesn't make sense in terms of ratings because less people watch on a Friday.

Glad Jan was let off last night. I want her to win, she has been the most entertaining this year along with David. I couldn't give a damn about the rest of them.
