To think the public should stop voting for matt Hancock to do every trial

126 replies

Hdaniels11 · 12/11/2022 16:15

Aren't the public getting bored of constantly seeing him do the trials? I would understand if he was funny to watch whilst doing it but he just gets on with it! Every trial he has done he has brought all the stars back to camp and didn't seem phased at all while doing the eating trial with Boy George.
It will be terribly boring if he continues to do one every day. It also makes it a very easy ride for the rest of the campmates, not one of them have done a trial at all it's ridiculous.

Yeah I agree. The people voting think they’re “punishing” him but he couldn’t care less about the tasks and if anything it’ll end up making him do better on the show as people will end up feeling sorry for him

It's odd psychology.

The public hate him so vote him in. (I personally don't vote)

Yet all that does is make him more public, the bigger story and whilst winning the stars a positive story.

I'm waiting for someone to point out in camp that most of them are as guilty as him of criminal misdemeanours - speeding/driving fines or infidelity at some point.

Can't stand the Tory's but also can't stand the fact that Johnson was PM and gets defended by so many people and Johnson actually was on holiday recently too. He even flew back with the consideration he was going to run our country again.

They’ll change the rules if they think it’s getting boring, or the camp is winning too much food and not getting angsty enough. There’ll soon be some reason why Matt Hancock isn’t allowed to do a trial, I’m sure.

Mrsjayy · 12/11/2022 16:21

You get it every series 1 person every night so its not unusual, however I think he should be ignored and then first voted out,

Mrsjayy · 12/11/2022 16:23

When they start voting out the celebs vote who do the trials, they won't pick him.

Mrsjayy · 12/11/2022 16:24

Voting them off the programme I meant.

Afterfire · 12/11/2022 16:24

I actually think they need to change it so it’s just a random selector thing that chooses who does the trials. It’s really boring seeing the same people doing them and it would give others a chance.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 12/11/2022 16:56

Don't worry, they'll stop voting for him at the next General Election.

chisum · 12/11/2022 16:58

I'm amused at watching Chris Moyles pretending he's relieved not to be nominated for a trial. I think he thought he was the big cheese in there this year

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/11/2022 17:28

I've not watched this series but, YANBU. He's probably lapping up the attention It'd be more of an insult to him if the public had the Who the f**ks he attitude and just ignored him.

ReneBumsWombats · 12/11/2022 17:30

The public gets what the public wants. Apparently the public still wants this show.

Highfivemum · 12/11/2022 22:33

Yet again he has been voted to do trail. So bored of it now. Do people not see that he isn’t bothered at all. It is actually doing him a lot of good and he is good at the trails. Give one of the moaners a trail instead.

PurpleButterflyWings · 12/11/2022 22:35

Yes I agree. In my opinion, when a celebrity has done 2 trials (or 3 trials at the most,) they should be exempt from 2 trials, because it's gonna get boring REALLY quickly if it's the SAME PERSON DOING THEM. They need to change the rules (IMO.)

YEP. Give it to Charlene or Sue or Chris. All 3 are irking me at the moment.

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 12/11/2022 22:36

I agree, it’s not really amusing when he just gets on with it and isn’t even bothered. Plus the others aren’t getting much air time. I actually think he’s coming across well which kind of defeats the object.

MrsSkylerWhite · 12/11/2022 22:37

YABU for watching it

LadyB49 · 12/11/2022 22:39

I agree with PurpleButterflyWings. Only do so many trials then exempt for so many. MH is good at them...but it gets boring.

sashagabadon · 12/11/2022 22:40

I think he’s pretty good at the trials and doing them is playing to his strengths as he just gets on with it and is not a whinger.
it’s backfired somewhat on all the people who wanted to see him fail as he is clearly not failing and people seem to like him but I agree it is more boring TV.

Chris Moyles is actually coming across as evil.

Forever42 · 12/11/2022 22:53

Haven't watched but surely it was inevitable and he was fully expecting it? If it's boring, switch off.

I agree. He’s not what I thought he would be like at all !

TheLadyOfHay · 12/11/2022 22:57

Yes get someone who is rubbish to do the trails. One of the miserable looking ones, Sue has a face like a smacked arse so she will do for starters

Not sure if people wanted him to fail at the trials, I think they wanted to see him suffer. However he doesn't seem bothered by any of the trials so it's a waste voting for him. I'd like Chris or Charlene to do some.

I agree, he's looking really p'd off it's not him getting the limelight and relishing a little too much that MH is getting voted over and over..
