Default Wearing the costume is demeaning
Really? Is he deliberately trying to lose support or is he really that pompous. I noticed he was barely hit by anything and if it did it went on his legs in the flying task as well

It's not demeaning to accept the pay check though, Rylan said he was in BOTS last year as he is a frien of James Whale so he hasn't got the excuse that he didn't know what he was letting himself in for

bad move and big mistake - not understanding the game.

I can understand you don't want to humiliate yourself but would that not mean - not doing a show like this.

They're all in there to boost their careers though so if they're asked to do something that they think could damage their reputation it's understandable that they wouldn't want to do it, he's a respected actor and dressing up in lycra on a RTV show might be something he feels could harm that reputation? They all sign contracts to get their paychecks so if by not dressing up he's breaking his contract then he might not get paid as much, and if it's something that's not breaching his contract then he's not actually breaking any rules. So either way I don't have a problem with it tbh. He still took part in the task, it's not like he was trying to be awkward, he just has limits when it comes to preserving his self respect/dignity, and I think that was the issue for him rather than it being pomposity.

I find it weird that he wouldn't wear the costume but take part in a task in which fish guts and garbage is being thrown at him.
Both things are ridiculous and not "classy". Very contradicting.

I agree, I felt he should have worn an outfit but in the end as a sidekick he did not really look out of place in his own clothing.
Had he been a superhero he would have then looked more out of place.

He was literally just on a show about zombies and dragons, he's dressed in medieval gear.... I'm sorry I like him but he needs to just leave at this point.

He's happy enough to take the money though. As I said previously had Nicola or Chloe refused to wear the outfit there would be fumes across the board.

It's a bit of lycra.

He's lost my support and I've been voting for him. If he can take CBB money, he can jolly well do the tasks.

Does seem a bit daft that an actor is unwilling to dress up

But...if I was on there I would point blank refuse to do eating tasks..regardless of the punishments for the group, so I can't really criticize,

Too bad. Joseph Whedon could have been watching and he could have been cast alongside RDJ in the next avengers.
