both are claims

I'm not sure Emily actually said she had a phobia though, just that she hated snakes?(although I might be wrong about that) and tbf people use the word phobia lightly, just like your favourite misused "flu". Anne "claims" to be diagnosed yes, what I do know is Emily certainly never claimed to be diagnosed with a snake phobia

Where as if it were cock roaches I really don't like them but I could imagine trying anyway

Emily does have a phobia of snakes or is at least very scared of them touching her. She was in a film with snakes in it (i think it is called Hoarder) and she was petrified in the behind scenes but even if she wasn't phobic and just scared it is brave to get in a pit with 50 snakes slithering all over you especially as she had been bitten moments before.

I wasn't saying she wasn't brave, clearly she doesn't like snakes. I really don't mind snakes but I would still have been terrified of that one angry snake I think she's great, I was just challenging the use of the word phobia (over use more like)

I'm sort of on the fence re. Anne.
It's good she's challenging herself to cope and highlighting the Asperger's issue. But also she should not be immune from criticism where it's due. Like our Nickeh

No doubt to be had.

Emily has never claimed to have a full on phobia, she just doesn't like snakes.

I don't like spiders and would rather not hold a tarantula etc, I wouldn't go as far to say I'm arachnophobic though.

Oh of course she shouldn't.

Most of the 'criticism' so far, however, is simply "She's too fat and lazy to do a trial" which is both unfair and untrue.

she's obese and said she's too lazy to exercise, but saying she's too fat and lazy to do a trial is a gross oversimplification of a complex character with a condition that further complicates her interactions with her environment. I.e. it's lazy thinking.

I want to know about her secret husband

Brave is a word which virtually has no meaning now ,its used in so many slack ways its lost its meaning ,Emily CHOSE to go in the jungle, Anne CHOSE to go in the jungle, it doesn't make them brave it makes them skint

Anne is one of the most recognisable faces across the UK and is the host of Britain's Brightest Family and a Chaser on the UK and Australian versions of "The Chase"

I'm not sure how much those three jobs pay, but I certainly doubt she's skint

Daytime TV or not she'll be earning enough that she won't be needing for anything.

Then she gets all the royalties of the constant repeats, the apps, the board games, all the merchandise and starring in foreign versions of it.

She'll be making a very tidy sum for herself.

(Also The Chase airs in the evening, so your unemployed viewer schtick doesn't work).

I've had my issues with Anne on the show, but you honestly think that the tasks on the show are simple? Because personally speaking I wouldn't want Spiders or Worms being poured on top of my head.

There's only one way of being brave?

So people can't be brave for facing their personal demons/fears or overcoming struggles that more privileged people find extremely simple? Are you for real?
