Default Letters/phone calls from home and family visits must be stopped.

Apart from the HMs using these ridiculous situations to reel in some votes by "crying"(mostly DRY crying with the odd tear trickling out after screwing up their desperate faces for about a half-hour in order to FORCE a tear)
the awkward silences they bring are only sporadically filled by inane, hollow words - each second in time being dragged and made to feel longer than the next...

To be honest they do it in week 1, and actually every week, in BBCAN and BBUSA

Another nauseating episode as they actually carried this shyte into a 2nd day

Although tbf they must've known "please don't use me" Ellie was going to take up half a day with her ridiculous ott reactions. Sorry Chanelle, Ellie has seen your fake BS and raised it by a few bucketloads. When she came running out the room to milk it further she smugly told the others that her mother said she was "doing Castleford proud". I mean it's hardly likely she was going to say: Listen love, you've been an absolute embarrassment to yourself, your whole family and all of Castleford. The way you were falling over yourself to cling to a man who wouldn't pee on you was so pathetic, classless and undignified. But in spite of all that, and all the other silly fake rubbish we're watching from you on a daily basis,, the crappy showmance you're trying to get airtime from, the lost little puppy dog act you're playing to fool the gullible viewers, your overuse of the word chuffing, the cringey/unfunny jokes you try to crack in the DR etc.. It's all OK. We still love you.

She's not even the current pride of Castleford. Their rugby team are currently flying high at the top of the Super League table.

I agree, every time they started " crying " I turned over

I don't mind them, but I don't think they should make such a massive deal out of them. Certainly shouldn't be "won", either, they should be given to them without any sort of task.

It's so cringe I couldn't watch most of it. Some of them didn't even shed tears like Deborah.
