He is just so boring, I like him but people love him and want him to win?!, why?!
All he does is lye on the bed talking...

[WOMBAI]

Can't you see how entertaining he is? According to some, he fills our screens with tv gold entertainment? Don't tell me you can't see it! Shock, horror! Only joking!

Never found him in the slightest bit entertaining!

Billy Connolly, Lee Evans, Alan Carr - there is entertaining!

Vinnie Jones - eh! NO.

[Raph]

agreed, he seems so dull! :$

[Claymores]

I had high hopes for Vinnie but he's a bit like somebody's dad who showed-up at the party and bringing everything down.

My better question is why all the love for Stephanie who brings 0, snoots about the place like she is still in the Carringtons. It confuses me she is top and tails above others on DS,

[yousoboo!]

he does love a good old moan. at least baldwin is entertaining.

[WOMBAI]

Maybe they just like a bit of class over there. It is quite a rarity on this show after all.

There is class and faux class (speaking of Stephanie) but this is a Vinnie thread -

He needs to hand grapple that git Alex in the balls ala famous picture.............I remember Jones as the fitba player - maybe you all too young and I should go die!!!!

[Stacey.]

Agreed he is mostly boring and he might be something like having a police officer show up at the party,
but,
I suppose he is being cheered on seen as the 'working man' here. It is strange to think of a wealthy celebrity athlete who has been in television and movies as the 'Working man' but I suppose that is his background.
So.. yeah, I think people do love the sort of 'regular person' and 'working class hero' type of guy.

You have to keep in mind we need 'normals' for the 'weirdos' to play off of.
If you only have freaks and nutters with no comparison - that becomes as boring in its own way.

But yeah.. I mean I do see the OPs complaint too.

[Claymores]

El - I still think somebody's dad showing up at the party is a better analogy - but I'm close to Vinnie's age and can see his stature as about the only 'Celeb' to appear in Hollywood movies last years plus the immaturity of certain others has cast him as the 'daddy' figure. No idea if Jones likes this or not, but hey we all get old.

Don't start bad habits!!!!!! She did actually moan about this one night altho I paraphrased to give the impart about how it was boring being successful (in the past!)

[reece(:]

Useless boring boring. Least favourite in there.

[mike888]

Let the kids steal the show for the first week and watch Vinnie come to the fore when he squares up to Alex... you won't find him boring then..

[Johnni]

I guess alot of people like him for from what they know of him in the past. Typical working class guy done well in football & Hollywood. Most of the others have 'negative baggage' like Alex, Dane, Katia so lots of people don't like them from the start.

[CapShar]

I'm usually a day behind everyone else but what has any of the other HMs done so far that makes them entertaining?

People are saying that Vinnie is boring because all he does is sit around and talk but that is all I have seen any of them do.

Are they doing something amazing on LF? (which I don't get) and if so then what is it that they do and why isn't it shown in the highlights?

Unless people count Stephen's preaching or Katia's farting as great entertainment I reallly don't see what the others are doing over Vinnie.

Vinne has more negative baggage than most - fact! So that argument doesn't hold out I'm afraid.

Spot on.

For a start people in England always have great affinity for the majority of sportsmen.
