I’m a celebrity!

[kaz7]

To be fair, they run extensive medical checks on everyone so they should definitely screen contestants better after the fact if they know they'll be unable to take part in 'x' amounts of trials.

They might either have to temper their trials in future and not make them as exclusive as they must be or screen contestants better.

I have nothing against her personally but it's not exactly fair and probably frustrating for the rest when anyone, not just her, is constantly exempt. She, herself, hasn't really offered anything to the show that any other celeb could have. By, positively or negatively, bringing up her autism people will inherently dictate that there's a stigma and perhaps even subconsciously treat her differently. Again, whether it be positively or negatively it's wrong and unfair.

Malique and Sair, for me, were just beige and offered very little in terms of entertainment etc. Anne's the exact same, except the latter two pulled their weight a lot more within the camp but the former is most likely going to stay in for a good while yet.

To be fair she has won 9 stars on her own so she has contributed,highlighting an illness is a good thing to do,if you want perfectly healthy people who can do every single thing they would all likely be young people when the show wants a wide range of people,it's the older ones who are the most interesting usually,someene has to look after the fire at all times,it's the single most inmportant task as without it they have no water,food or heat,the one who is not as good at the more manuel things gets the job,i think there is people watching for the first time and not understanding the show

Raising awareness is always good but any celebrity with any form of autism could do that. It's not about having only "healthy" people but one's that offer a bit of entertainment and personality, hence why they threw Noel Edmonds in there; he may be marmite but he's not dull.

She's had to be constantly reminded to tend to the fire. I missed when Noel delegated the first time but were there two people separating the fire responsibilities? Regardless, it's an important role but there's a reason they gave it to her ahead of collecting wood (just as important), cooking (again important) or cleaning etc and it's again inherently wrong.

Wrapping her in cotton wool is as bad as slagging her off.

The very fact she is in the jungle is good enough,she is going through the same experience as the others,her mind works differently,she has to plan things out in advance of doing it before she can do it,not everyone can cook or carry heavy things,she is playing her part and hopefully will help her confidence,she is a self confessed loner and hoarder,the mere fact she is even doing this should be applauded,she is doing a big service to other autistic people,it has been discussed in the media and on talk shows a lot because of her,that is a good thing
Every year there is quiet ones,some that go the whole show never doing a trial,there have been loads not even got 1 star let alone 9,it's a really hard show to do but there she is,there have been plenty of older contestants who got light duties or were excempt from trials,it's the nature of the show
The others are taking the time to talk to her and understand her,thats basic human empathy,i would like to see those twats on here slagging her off do that show

I’m not slagging her but Karen that show is a piece of piss, the reason many of them struggle is because they are not used to been in teams, they by there very nature of their jobs selfish for want of a better word, actors are not exactly used to been team players, the only one on there is Harry and you can see after that drinking trial where Nick did it to win, he’s had enough. A bit hungry and having to clean out a dunny, a few bugs, heist it’s not like they are doing 18 days for minimum wage, I’d seemed 3 months never mind 3 weeks in there for Harry’s money. I sympathise with Anne but what’s going to happen if they reach the final,stages and she has to do the water challenge with the fans, not a chance she will do it, I don’t see a part from the once with 9 stars she’s contributing, unless there’s lots off camera we are not seeing, she may well win this purely on a sympathy vote.

 

[davek1808]

That will never happen,they want a wide range of people and ages,it's been the same from series one that people are excempt on medical grounds,it is not unusual at all,if you have seen the show before you would know that and not use it to moan at people(not you)

i know just think it would be better if everyone was in the reckoning.

 

[Odd socks]

Anne won't win the series but she probably doesn't feel a greater need to win either, I think she would be content even if she went today and not be disappointed unlike some others although that doesn't make them wrong by wanting to win either.
I was never going to involve myself in the Anne discussion as it can be emotive on a personal level but can I explain one thing that may help in understanding how Anne appears lazy, on the spectrum it helps if instructions are direct with no room for interpretation, so as an example - will you watch the fire will be seen by most of us as an instruction not to let the fire go out but to an autistic person it will mean simply watch the fire.
I think the reason her campmates speak well of her might be down to perhaps never having met someone with high functioning autism and realise how difficult life can for her but she just tried to make best for herself - sometimes we don't realise how lucky we are.

Lol i doubt it is a piece of piss and why liken it to a minimum wage job?we see about 30 mins when you take out the ads from 24hrs in camp so in effect we see very little but the trials
If you go back to how they get them into the jungle,the young fit ones are thrown out of a plane,the other go by helicopter or some years in canoes up the river,individual ages and health conditions are taken into account from day one,there are enough jobs and trials to go around depending on their abilities,it's about throwing together a group of individals and making them as a team earn their food and not how to make health problems worse,i want to see a whole range of people not just the fit ones,i like to people watch and learn about different lives and experiences,i think those of you who don't normally watch it are taking the show too literally,they are there so they must be able to do everything,it's not that
Anne has a magnificent brain,i would be really intimidated by her,i don't watch the chase but i've seen a clip of her as the governess where she is in her element,she is so far out of her comfort zone and that is the point of the show

It is 24ct unadulterated shite! I'm watching Escape to the Chateau!

I only watch documenty the mrs thinks I am off my head that I do not watch the soaps

The bit of your post about the fire is interesting,if only more people took the chance to educate themselves about the condition whilst it's topical

 

[Dicko69]

Anne might not be exempt from the trials due to her autism, she might have another health issue we don't know about that prevents her from certain trials. Harry has been exempt from a couple of trials too.

It is normal people are excempt from trials,it's a lot of fuss over nothing

Occasionally yes, I think because she’s been exempt from a lot more than she’s been eligible for is where people are asking what’s the point in her inclusion.

She's only stopped off to earn some extra dough, before she goes back to being the Australian Chaser.

She's contributing less every day, couldn't even manage to have her letter read out last night.

 

[TheBlueDune]

Today's dingo dollar challenge - can Anne get out of bed in one movement?

 

[quiet_riot]

She prefers dough covered in cheese and tomatoes.

 

[stonie]

Gutted Anne has gone now, was looking forward to seeing her in the last challenge on the water slide getting blasted by water cannons... That would of tested her and made for great tv

 

[GX Blue]

Nick Knowles singing with his guitar was a really tough watch.

 

[Magicpole]

Have they sent the Tigers in yet?

That would be a great challenge.

Just read Nick was singing with his guitar, he would be first in the fucking queue.
