I think it should be shown to the public so they public can make their own mind up

More context might be needed.

Davros · 25/04/2026 14:19

Who?

Jollyjupiter · 25/04/2026 14:20

Absolutely. Something is very odd about this.

WhereHasMyPlanetGone · 25/04/2026 14:21

Such bloody drama about a light entertainment show on TV. I’ve never seen the show but all my feeds have been completely taken over by this for the past few days. It’s a TV show, it’s entertainment, it’s not that deep.

SirChenjins · 25/04/2026 14:31

Who are they and what happened?!

Laiste · 25/04/2026 14:56

Ohhh.
Celebrity get me out of here.

Dunno and nothing important 🤣

Agree, well guess the full footage exists, so sure it will come out at some point

Public get sick of being manipulated, also Craig Charles had a good point, Craig and Harry's reactions got shown on TV, but what they were reacting to was cut, so they looked unsupportive and not very nice
Surely itv should have cut Harry's and Craig's reactions, if they weren't going to show the full story

Oh well, not like I will ever have to worry about being manipulated by itv on reality tv

I agree OP.

Not sure why they can’t show it and just bleep out all the C words.

PurpleAndYellowIris · 25/04/2026 15:00

And I suppose dh has a good point, itv knew exactly what type of blokes jimmy and David are and that's got what they booked.....

Exactly, it's just a excuse to not show the full footage, can easily bleep out the c bombs

Why though? Why would ITV bother trying to manipulate people to vote for Adam? What’s in for them?

Edited

It seems quite possible that heavy editing has made the wrong people look good and bad. ITV have a history of protecting certain people. It’s strange and why should we be manipulated. The Thomas brothers seem to be very protected in this industry. They’re in that circle with Ant and Dec, Holly Willoughby etc where there have been a lot of rumours and lots of cover ups. It’s very weird and I’ve wondered what is behind it all for years.

They have future deals with all the Thomas family. It's a big con.

This reads like a fever dream.

ohyesido · 25/04/2026 15:18

They won’t. Adam’s agent is the daughter of the director of television, read into that what you will

Monty36 · 25/04/2026 15:20

All that would do is encourage more of the same.
I haven’t seen what there is. I am not remotely interested in watching a row all in the name of entertainment. By people being paid to be there.

GivingUpGivingIn · 25/04/2026 15:23

You'll just be missing him calling him a see you next Tuesday. I did not see the full series, just highlights, but you don't wait to the throw in the towel until your partner has finished the trial and is waiting for you to start. That is a cunt's trick.
<Shrug> I liked Bev so no skin in the game.
Voting each other off/having forced exits rather than public vote was always going to prove unpopular/accusations of rigging.
Was Adam on Glitterball with Luba or was that another one?

GivingUpGivingIn · 25/04/2026 15:25

Ah yes, it was him. They had some decent routines and he took his exit from that show graciously. Did a decent rumba.

ifonly4 · 25/04/2026 15:26

That was a hard watch for me, not pleasant. No matter who was in the wrong, that's not the way Jimmy and David should be conducting themselves at work, especially as it was there was an audience and viewers. If Adam was to blame for the original outburst, then they seem just as bad. If he wasn't to blame, then that's an awful way to treat someone - they are basically bullies.

Because Adam, and his brothers, are very fame hungry. All the brothers have competed in ITV reality shows so to ITV they are bankable compared to the other finalists.

Most, if not all of the contestants have competed in reality tv shows. They’re all fame hungry. Editing can be blamed for so much.

David and the way he spoke during interviews outside of the show makes himself look like a bully, and he can’t blame the shows editing for that, there’s one where he is laughing about how he saw Adam wanting to sit alone on the flight home, but David made arrangements to ensure he got to sit next to him and wind him up.

It says a lot how when the person they don’t like has an emotional outburst and it’s called abusive, aggressive and threatening, but when David acts like an immature school yard bully it’s called “banter” and then behaving like that at the final as well.

Aren’t they all fame hungry? Why else would they be on the programme?

Wonderknicks · 25/04/2026 16:10

I shouldn't have clicked on this, but I've never heard of any of these people!

I wouldn’t say the others are as fame hungry as the Thomas brothers.
Craig did it as his first go was cut short, Jimmy did it for the money, Scarlet said she did it for the money to pay for a new kitchen.
