Thoughts on IAC 2016 so far?

[Will.]

Meh, it seems a bit to easy this year for the campmates.

[Cherie]

Martin is saving it from being a total cheese fest, they haven't been tested from a starvation point of view which is usually when people get grumpy

[Niamh.]

I watched my first full episode last night and I have to say i really enjoyed it, I like how they all get along and are having fun for once, it's pretty refreshing tbh

[Cherie]

I look forward to it, Ant and Dec make it very watchable as well

[MB.]

It's dull as ****

[sampvt]

no storyline or exciting things happening. The trials are easy as crap and they are smashing everything so well fed celebs = boring programme. Starve the buggers, split them up, get them at eachothers throats and make us a show we look forward to watching. This year is boring.

[Drew.]

Best series for a looong time

[Alf]

No great stand out characters, but they're good as a collective.

I don't dislike any of them, although in the real World Larry wouldn't be my cup of tea, and Scarlett is very annoying, which is a shame because I didn't mind her on Goggle box, she just seems to fake on this.

[Jack_]

If it weren't for Martin single handedly carrying the series it would've been atrocious. It's not a patch on last year, put it that way

I mean yeah it's nice they all get along but I'm a bit tired of them constantly succeeding in the trials. People always used to moan that the same person would do them all the time and that's why they put a stop to phone voting to combat it but part of the fun was them failing and not having anything to eat :shrug:

I also primarily watch this show for Ant and Dec's links and even they've been a bit lacklustre this year, the running jokes have been nowhere near as funny as the Celebrity Masterchef one from last series...yet

[jaxie]

I don't like how they respond to Martin, if they can be so happy clappy with each other, why can't they be kinder to him? Either the tasks are too easy this time or they are doing them too efficiently.

[LukeB]

But no one is being nasty to him:shrug: everyone has said they are all getting along, that wouldn't be the case if anyone was being nasty. Martin isn't a victim and he seems really happy there.

Way too easy , but what do you do if they keep winning the stars , a very determined camp this year, even the babies have grown a backbone.

[sampvt]

Martin is just one of lifes annoyingly pedantic and boring people. He seems to need constant reassurance for everything he does and needs to be constantly involved in everything even if its nothing to do with him. The others are openly supportive of his actions for the cameras, but deep down inside they are loathing him and love to get their two penneth by sliding in the odd dig or open ended comment. He is the series this year and that in itself is putting him up there as the one everyone loves to hate.

Camera time is gold and they all know Martin is sitting on the mother lode, hence the offstandishness of most of them. The rest simply just want to get their time over with and the fees in the bank and its hey ho and off to the next reality gig.

Adam, Charlotte, Joel and Martin need this gig for future survival and the others couldnt care less or dont know what to do or expect. Look at Jordan, he hasnt got a clue what to say, do or think. He is counting the days to the end.

[zakman440]

Not quite as good as 2015, but I'm really enjoying it. It's very refreshing to see a cast getting along so well after the past series of CBB we've just been through. Plus they've gone one further and banned the reality stars (bar Scarlett) that are currently ruining CBB, plus the big-build trials have been brilliant.

[GoldHeart]

It's better than last year , but some parts annoyed me but I'm still enjoying it and it's nearly finished anyway

[Firewire]

Had so much potential but has fallen so flat now

Best cast in years though

[Niamh.]

I always enjoy these things more when the contestants get on and are funny tbh same with in BB. The arguments, when they were more rare were then more exciting and less forced. Totally constructed arguments are getting tedious or throwing someone "controversial" in to make something out of nothing is so over done and boring now

[Alf]

It's still easily the best reality entertainment show on TV.

[Niamh.]

Reality TV shows are dying a death though in general I think

[Firewire]

I actually think even CBB's worst series have been better than I'm a Celeb's worst.

[Jordan.]

Not caring, haven't watched in about a week.

[GoldHeart]

To me the one's that official died was BB & XF both of those are freak shows that are garbage quality . Both should of been axed ages ago :bored::notimpressed:

[Niamh.]

Yeah, unfortunately I'm tending to agree with you. I did still really like The Voice but ITV will ruin it

[Cherie]

Yeah I agree they have cottoned onto Martin being popular, that thing with Carol and Joel last night talking about his health was very random, and if Joel says one more time in his patronising way how proud he is of Martin :bored:

[GoldHeart]

So you don't watch?

I haven't watched XF for 2 years , and I stopped watching BB 7 years ago when it was still on C4 and that was the biggest mistake they made moving it to C5 it's the worse Reality show that's been milked to death , always same controversial rubbish every time :sleep::bored:

[GoldHeart]

Yeah, unfortunately I'm tending to agree with you. I did still really like The Voice but ITV will ruin it

The voice when it first ever started was actually a pretty OK show , but then they ruined it the moment Ricky Wilson & Kylie joined the panel the show became a sell out and all they cared about was looks and age . They never gave the right ones a chance they sat acting juvenile playing chicken with their red buttons copying each other as they grin and whisper instead of listening to the singing :bored::facepalm:

aw I still like but

[Natalie.]

I'm enjoying it because of Martin and Ant & Dec
I'll probably stop watching when Martin goes

Martin isn't going anywhere so don't worry :idc:

[Jason.]

The editing has been way too one sided this series and it has destroyed any potential the series once had. It's annoying really because this cast is honestly great but they keep devoting all the airtime to Adam that all of the more interesting campmates are being snubbed as a result. It's why we lost Lisa and Ola over the past two nights as they were hardly shown at all.

[Vanessa]

I think it's brilliant. Loving most of them, especially Martin and Adam. They're so funny :laugh:

[Jason.]

So the ones they're shoving down our throats every night then?

It's no wonder you enjoy it

[LukeB]

I have to agree with you, I don't watch IAC every year but other reality TV shows are going a bit tacky especially Big Brother/Celebrity Big Brother, that's coming across like another version of towie with their forced drama and storylines.

[Jason.]

TA >>>

[Gstar]

Last year was 10x better

[Macie Lightfoot]

okay I'll preface this by saying that I don't watch IAC at all (though I feel like I should? IDK, it seems more of my speed of Brit Reality TV than all the random ass competition shows you guys have like X Factor and Strictly and the Jump) but a show where people are genuinely getting along and are nice doesn't seem that bad, especially in 2016? This year was tragic and with the current state of Big Brother (as evidenced by this upcoming series which might as well be subtitled "Loud Asshole versus Loud Asshole"), there's something novel about genuinely nice people. And that's not even getting into Brexit and Trump and all the other legitimately gross **** that happened this year.

[Daniel.]

It's ok but not as good as last year

[Shaun]

I like the majority of them but I just find the premise boring... none of the challenges excite me.

[Jason.]

I like the fact they're all getting along and I don't even care all that much that they're a strong bunch when it comes to the trials and there's no weak link. I mean the scared serial trialist thing is so boring now and it hasn't been entertaining since Helen Flanagan. I'm more annoyed at this good cast being wasted with the unfair editing and all the good people being buried in the edit and as a result being evicted early whilst the annoying, draining one (Adam) will probably end up winning. :/

I hated when celebs quit trials or gave up easily and put in zero effort . What's new point in helen Flanagan's she annoyed me so much when she was in the jungle :notimpressed::bored:

[armand.kay]

I love just watching them all enjoy themselves and have a laugh, I've really grown to like a lot of them and will be really sad when the season is over.

[armand.kay]

So the ones they're shoving down our throats every night then?

It's no wonder you enjoy it

maybe the just likes them for who they are and the fact that they're both funny I don't get why you have to undermine her opinion and blame editing :shrug:

[jet]

This. The casting has been perfect.
It's a joy to watch after this summers dreadful CBB.

[sampvt]

trials are so easy this year ant and dec could do them.

yeah its nice to watch a group of people make good memories and not be constantly annoyed with forced pointless drama that gets boring after a few highlight shows.

[GoldHeart]

trials are so easy this year ant and dec could do them.


i don't think they have been :idc: , and it's debatable if Ant & Dec would be able to complete them all or not we'll never find out but i think they'd struggle with some of them :whistle:

A trial is judged by how many stars it gives up

It depends on how capable/brave/willing the participants are. The trials are no easier than any other year.

Definitely. I'd rather be sitting laughing at the TV then shouting at it tbh :shrug:
