Rita is great and im liking Noel but i do remember him from Swap Shop

TwitterQueen1 · 24/11/2018 22:46

ugly I think the aspect ratio on your tv needs adjusting! Anne is very considerably heavier than Harry, who is not at all overweight and not especially tall eiterh (5ft 9 apparently). I'd guess he's around 11 stone and she's around 16/17 stone.

In any case I don't believe it's about weight, it's about Anne's safety and mental wellbeing. She's coped brilliantly - up to a certain point - with being in tight spaces but if she's above ground and starts to panic there could be serious consequences for everyone.

OzzyMadBat · 24/11/2018 22:48

Britt Ekland also missed 3 on medical grounds so Anne with 4 exclusions has the most I am a geek

whatsthestory123 · 24/11/2018 22:51

OzzyMadBa i admire your geek please keep a running totalGrin

Stanley was ruled out if lots last year I don't remember numbers but it was a lot at the time.

AppleKatie · 24/11/2018 22:52

anne is ruled out of anything with a harness due to weight I would imagine. And her autism rules her out of other things. We don’t know if she has other health issues or allergies which may be also playing a part.

But there’s 11 of them and she’s had loads more screen time than some of them AND done a trial (albeit badly!) so I don’t really buy the ‘what’s the point’ or ‘she’s not contributing to the programme’ stuff. It’s just prejudice.

AppleKatie · 24/11/2018 22:53

Anne is also older than she looks (60? I believe?) if she looked her age I think she’d get more sympathy too.

OzzyMadBat · 24/11/2018 22:56

George Hamilton also 3 exclusions.

VerbeenaBeeks · 24/11/2018 22:57

AppleKatie agree, she's on screen a lot. Definitely contributing to the show.

WhyAmISoCold · 24/11/2018 22:59

I'm sure previous contestants have been immune from water trials due to asthma, if Anna has asthma that's 2 she couldn't do now this 3rd one which is probably due to weight. I doubt they would rule her out for her autism.

OzzyMadBat · 24/11/2018 23:00

I want Noel to win (but not on the grounds of him retiring if he does) but Harry might do it. Harry 1st Noel 2nd John 3rd would make me happy.
A Huntsman spider? no way. (Am rewatching the start of trial I missed)
Insane

OzzyMadBat · 24/11/2018 23:02

I think exclusions will be claustrophobia/vertigo/cardiac and weight/age related.

whatsthestory123 · 24/11/2018 23:04

george hamilton 3 yes and im guessing that was the whole series

anne has gone over 3 already and they havent even been in a week

unique1986 · 24/11/2018 23:12

Anyone else liked Holly's trial outfit tonight?
Prefer her in casual t shirts to dresses

itswinetime · 24/11/2018 23:17

Article about Stanley from last year he was rules out of all tasks till the live trial apparently and then more after that as well if I remember rightly.

Stanley

AllGoodDogs · 24/11/2018 23:28

Harry waiting for the girls to shower was amazing, bless him. But then the soap down his arse crack and then handing it to Fleur had me laughing! Hope she didn't wash her face with it!!

whatsthestory123 · 24/11/2018 23:31

yes ive been googling about these trials

stanley as we know was exempt from many (said up thread) and at the time was a bit bad feeling with people asking why he was on there,like now

why oh why do the tv company allow people that are not capable go on this programme it makes no sense

itswinetime · 24/11/2018 23:43

I gues from a producers point of view the trials are 15 minutes max of content they have an hr to fill each night so though some people may not be giving in terms of trials they are giving in terms of conversation stories arguments ect.

It does create a lot of bad feelings but honestly I don't think anne would have been voted for any since her trial even if she could have. Her trial was a) uncomfortable to watch and b) I think there is a good mix people want to see.

Just finished watching tonight, right at the end it looked like Scarlett was wearing a set of silk pyjamas?! How odd Grin

QueenOfIce · 25/11/2018 05:59

I'm really enjoying this years group, I love their dynamic. Does anyone else think it's a little cruel having all these animals put in mouths etc?

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/11/2018 09:40

I was gagging at the fish eyes and collecting blood. THEn having to drink it
Can’t be healthy

Guess as Noel and Harry had had it nice they had to do a yucky trial

Did the pet man tuck the spiders legs in Before putting in Noel’s mouth

CakeNinja · 25/11/2018 09:44

I don’t know Blonde, I physically turned away the second the announced the word huntsman spider!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/11/2018 10:03

@cake wuss 😂😂😂

unique1986 · 25/11/2018 10:57

Harry is 5ft 11 he looks taller.
Maybe cos Noel is Short
