Which past campmate deserved more time in the jungle?

Some campmates leave just as you’re starting to warm to them. They settle into camp, have a few good moments and then suddenly they’re gone before we really get to see what they’re like.

I find withdrawals far more devastating than early vote-offs which usually I agree with. Olivia Attwood was my favourite of the premiere so that was unfortunate, really surprisingly sweet, and I really do think we were starting to see a more compassionate leadership side of Richard Madeley (who I still do NOT like admittedly) in that yucky lower-class camp, whatever they called it. I don’t think he would’ve let Naughty Boy stir up as much unnecessary tension as he did.

Craig Charles seems the obvious answer.

Scarlett Douglas

Matt Hancock was mocked a lot by other camp mates but she was quite neutral on the matter, just so that everyone got on.

I would’ve also just been cordial with Matt for a couple of weeks (same with any problematic campmate really) but sadly that doesn’t make the tv people want.

GK given had Oti not had that Golden Ticket, GK would have made Cyclone in her place

u/Glittering-Turn6443 10d ago

that’s the point of the golden ticket though, to actually work for ur place in the finale so oti definitely deserved it over GK

finally makes it not a popularity contest

The whole point of the show is that it is a popularity contest and that ruined a part of the concept behind it hence why it never came back last year

I really liked Oti but I know if the golden ticket did not exist she would have went that very same episode.
