An article on the animal cruelty in the show...

Bearbehind · 01/12/2018 20:36

There’s not much point in the show tbh, it’s just mindless entertainment.

But those who participate get paid a lot of money to be there.

They can either do what is required or they can’t.

If you move into a situation where you tell the contestants about the trials you have to do it for all of them - then it loses its edge.

AppleKatie · 01/12/2018 20:40

No you don’t - why would you Confused

And the trials aren’t ‘required’ they always have the option of saying no. Saying no does not result in loss of fee or removal. In the way say racism or violence would.

So instead of making up our own rules maybe we should just enjoy watching what the producers are putting out there.

Good article Cats

Bearbehind · 01/12/2018 20:44

Of course you do - You can’t treat people differently when they are all being (handsomely) paid to do the same job.

Anne is already getting out of most trials then those she is deemed medically fit to do, she doesn’t try with either.

AppleKatie · 01/12/2018 20:50

She has tried with all but the cycling one hasn’t she? Confused

And I think you’ll find the law disagrees. If you have a disability and you are at work they are legally obliged to make reasonable adjustments for you. This is the same thing.

Bearbehind · 01/12/2018 20:54

No it’s not.

If you physically are unable to do a certain job you cannot expect to be employed to do it.

And she hasn’t really tried with the other tasks, she’s just done the easy bits.

On every trial she’s played the IACGMOOH card.

Bearbehind · 01/12/2018 20:55

Sorry, physically or mentally

AppleKatie · 01/12/2018 21:00

Well I suppose it depends what you consider the imaceleb job to be?

I think it’s more than the trials. You disagree.

But given that she has been booked and not kicked out by the producers I think they agree with me.

AppleKatie · 01/12/2018 21:01

(And your assertion that she hasn’t tried is so unbelievably disablist I’m not going there again)

bonfireheart · 01/12/2018 21:03

Top trumps...

Bearbehind · 01/12/2018 21:24

The trials are a huge part of it - if she can’t do them, she can’t do the show.

I’m not clear what she’s adding outside of them anyway.

I realise we only see part of it but she does nothing from what’s being shown.

AppleKatie · 01/12/2018 21:39

Er you say that like it’s fact and get she is there, doing it and wasn’t voted out first or removed by the producers for non fulfilment of contract so...

woodhill · 01/12/2018 21:41

Sair did the eating trial Thursday , James could have done it

MrsFassy · 01/12/2018 21:41

Fleur wasn't too happy there.

I really like James, I hope he makes the final. He's such a lovely lad.

BishopBrennansArse · 01/12/2018 21:43

Nick was a bit too keen to share all Noel's kit there...

viques · 01/12/2018 21:45

Did anyone else notice Rita having a crafty ciggy just after the recap when Noel left. I can't do replay things on my telly or I would play it back, but I am pretty sure she was.

QueenOfIce · 01/12/2018 21:47

I think the fact Anne is in there regardless of what she might not have done is empowering for not only her but others who might feel left out of society. She has come such a long way and is far more capable than she first realised. Who cares if she didn't do many trials she has pushed the boundaries where so many others wouldn't. All power to her.

Bearbehind · 01/12/2018 21:49

The producers are hardly going to boot her out are they.

And I don’t think she’s being kept in for her best interests - the public just like to see people suffer on here - it’s always the weakest that get voted to endure the most in the early rounds (and no I haven’t voted to keep her in)

bonfireheart · 01/12/2018 21:56

Sair smashed it!! Her and James are so under rated because they're not loud (or Anne!)

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/12/2018 21:56

Wow Noel is out. Didn’t expect that

Agree Ann didn’t try in that trail. She barely drank the drink knowin she wouldn’t win it so didn’t try hard

Yes Noel chested at one drink but the other , others also dribbled lots

Sair is doing great in her trail

Petalflowers · 01/12/2018 21:57

The trials have all been very similar this year. Ie. Critters in an uncomfotable environment. No high-up balancing acts etc.

Bearbehind · 01/12/2018 21:58

Shocker - Anne can’t do this trial either.

BishopBrennansArse · 01/12/2018 22:00

I was impressed with Sair.
Voted lots for Emily as I don't like her.
