Nella found the openings on the plinth boxes so easily, I wondered if there was some low level lighting, or even if she had night vision goggles. She barely fumbled.

And even with the last one, the lying down thing, she said it would be dark in there. Ant very quickly interjected, saying it's all dark. Trying to cover up.

She knelt down straight away to find the opening on thar one, not even feeling all around the top section.

And she hardly had any critters dropped on her, compared to other trials, and the creatures in the ones were so docile!

AND she walked straight to the exit doors, whereas she would have been disoriented if it was truly dark.

I think the trial was dumbed right down, so she would do well. The producers must think the viewing public is stupid!

100% this. ^ Nella's trial was definitely dumbed down. It was piss easy. And no WAY was she in the dark! They must think the public are daft! 😂

Incredibly late to the party, but joining in nonetheless. I didn't even know Sam Thompson was in it. He's a darling, and so funny. I rather warmed to Danielle back when she did Jamie's dream school, but I need to catch up. I'm going to try and cram a few episodes in this afternoon.

jay55 · 04/12/2023 13:19

I thought Nella just made an effort in the trial as it was Josie cooking not Fred.

But clearly there had been pre trial negotiations as to what she would do, with all her comments about confined spaces.

MadCatLady27 · 04/12/2023 13:26

It's the way they are pandering to probably the least "celebrity" in there in a way never seen before. I'd MAYBE understand if it was Nigel who has a high fee

I've just seen a clip of Fred's trial tonight on their FB page - oh look the stars are really hard to find, tonnes of bugs being dropped on him

Do they think the viewing public is stupid? Lots of comments on their FB page which of course are being ignored. It makes you wonder around the voting but I thought they had to release the figures for that?

whynotwhatknot · 04/12/2023 13:29

just cauht up-not surprised at the result we hardly saw him

gone off danielle completely shes a little snitch and then going round agreeing with everyone

nella seemed to know where everything is done well but still dont like her and they need to end this camp leader thing now

whynotwhatknot · 04/12/2023 13:35

and why did they say she needed her letterfirst the others have wives and children she sits there and does fuck all

HappyHamsters · 04/12/2023 13:41

It's just a game, she is lazy, maybe the producers know she is unpopular and worry that there will be backlash if she says the didn't take care of her, maybe she should bow out if it's all so difficult, who knows why they fixed last nights trial, we will never know and only see an hour of highly edited footage,

ilovebrie8 · 04/12/2023 13:44

she should bow out if she doesn't want to do trials...he programme is about trials after all!🙄😂

yep the least "celeb" on there and being treated with kid gloves which just perpetuates this nonsense...

I noticed that, it's bizarre how everyone is bending over backwards for her including it seems, production - wonder if they had a word and "suggested" they vote for her as leader and give her her letter first.... However I'm massively cynical!

I can't even think she's being badly edited as if they're desparate for her to do well, which is what it seems, they'd only show more positive clips of her?

I hate to say it but I wonder if it's because no one dares cause a potential race row? Trying to think back to other people who've been like this and how they were treated?

ihaveayod · 04/12/2023 14:20

It was said on This Morning that Frankie followed everyone on Instagram except Nigel and Nella, the same as Jamie Lynn.

RedRiverShore4 · 04/12/2023 14:38

I can't imagine Nigel being on Instagram for anything apart from political type stuff so I doubt he is someone you would generally follow unless you were interested in the same politics.

staycaysandvacays · 04/12/2023 14:47

Been away this weekend but back and catching up. Currently on Fridays. Nella, Josie and Danielle were being absolutely horrid. Especially Nella.

I agree with every single thing Fred was saying

staycaysandvacays · 04/12/2023 15:03

Onto the next episode. Every time someone goes to speak to Nella, she is asleep in the bus 😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/12/2023 15:05

Agree with all the above !

itsgettingweird · 04/12/2023 16:14

ilovebrie8 · 04/12/2023 11:28

Nella's trial was easy stuff hardly moving in some of those boxes...

Shame Frankie left but he wasn't getting any air time.

If it was dark I expect the creatures couldn't see the hand either and were thinking it's nighttime? Hence why they didn't really do anything?

Although she walked to the door quite easily at the end - maybe they switched on some lights for her?

Boomboom22 · 04/12/2023 16:25

Surely it's very obvious why itv are pandering to her? After all the complaints about forcing Trish to do all the nasty bits on bb itv don't want to be seen to be pushing forward another black woman to do the trials here. Even though they are very different situations from an itv reality show management pov they were in a bit of hot water for never helping Trish so now they are helping nella instead.

JaneJeffer · 04/12/2023 16:31

Nah I think ITV wants to forget they ever heard of Trish

whynotwhatknot · 04/12/2023 16:40

think nigel is on twitter not sure what else

I thought Charlene was great last year.

whynotwhatknot · 04/12/2023 16:49

they need to stop this camp leader and jobs now its run its course

im hoping we dont see anymore of her now they choose themsleves who to do the trials

whynotwhatknot · 04/12/2023 16:52

i saw an apparent old tweet of nellas being not very nice lets just say racist-i dont know if its real but nothing seems to have come of it

Lunde · 04/12/2023 17:27

Nella is definitely getting special treatment in the trials. It seems very easy for her to avoid the critters that usually cause issues such as spiders and fire ants. One of her boxes contained earthworms FFS - hardly a "scary" thing, more like digging in the garden.

Outside of trials Nella has become very boring as she just stays in the bus - either sleeping or bitching about the others

Danielle has really gone down in my estimation with her 2 faced behaviour

shamelesss · 04/12/2023 17:33

I voted 3 x Nick, 1 x Tony (because I feel like he doesn’t need as many votes atm) & 1 x Marvin (because I want Nella to be next out not him)

shamelesss · 04/12/2023 17:36

I dont know about there being light during Nellas trial because her eyes looked a bit bulgy in that way you would if you were in pitch black trying to see anything, and she didn’t look like she glanced down or anything but I definitely think she got to look at/go in the room before she went in for the trial otherwise she wouldn’t have known how quickly to find the tunnel (and that there were huntsman spiders in there 🤔)
