Perks of feeling like a bag of shit.. I’ll be around from the start 🥳

James is doing a live, very me me me so far mentioned Gladiators in 2 seconds. Didn’t realise there was a Celeb version but he saw Pete Wicks and thought they were on the same series!

I can’t even entertain him. I had a scroll down his insta today and jesus he really is clinging onto Gladiators

It's quite interesting learning about the production.

- They have filming blocks throughout the day with breaks in between.
- There's a producer who they talk to throughout the day from a speaker in the ceiling.
- They have to book blocks on the roof garden, gym, yoga room etc
 
The money was not going to the NHS, he was going to use it to buy a load of “girls” aka nurses some shoes and the rest he would keep.

Edit: The producers were encouraging them to stir things up and be mean in the anonymous round, that makes complete sense with Vithun

Sounds like he didn’t agree with the way the producers were encouraging certain things

He just said he wanted to see Dot and the producers were telling him he should see Manrika and they had a bit of back and fourth but he was basically forced to do and see her at 3am but he didn’t want to see her

edit: the producers decide who you speak to and who you build relationships with. He said he didn’t talk to Vithun for quite a while in because he was never allowed. They take your freedom away and he said it was all very dangerous and manipulative and the producers told him, no it’s produced

Ryan and Sinead from series 1 and James (Sammie) from series 2 were in the comments and sounds like all the series have been HEAVILY edited and producers make all the decisions. Was a really interesting watch

Can’t see it lasting much longer after that tear down tbh 😔
 
I'm fairly certain James said stuff in that live he shouldn't have done! He indicated someone didn't win that we don't know have been blocked yet.. He's probably gonna get a bollocking haha
 
Sammie/James from Series 2 and psychic Ryan and Sinead/Christopher from Series 1 were commenting about the lack of after care and thanking James for speaking about it.

I had my suspicions that production heavily manipulated the narrative already, but it’s just really disappointing to hear how it affects the contestants’ mental health. I guess all reality TV is like this which is such a shame.
 
Now I feel bad for disliking people and liking others more as they’re being manipulated to be a certain way to fit what the producers want to show. They probably pick a “winner” and manipulate it to try and get the players to vote for them!

I can also now see why Manrika has been very upset and has been vocal that her mental health is not great due to the nastiness directed to her over a game show! I don’t think she’s the nicest person in the world but I think it’s clear what we’re seeing isn’t real at all!
