I know I'm extremely late to this, but seeing the news about him, especially with him apparently trying to sue ITV over "editing" just makes me laugh my head off. I mean as if this man couldn't dig himself a deeper whole than he already is doing it just seems he's so desperate to get attention and I can't even describe it to you.

Accepting an apology is far more than Jimmy and David seem to think it is. You have not actually accepted someone’s apology if you are then desperate to derail a reunion for 10 plus minutes to coax everyone possible into agreeing that the person was nasty and demeaning. You can’t say you’ve forgiven someone and then attempt to humiliate them in front of millions of people about that same thing, you are better off admitting you’re a grudge holder than to be a self-unaware hypocrite like that, it’s called water under the bridge. Jimmys fake claim is what gets me the most.

All around disastrous behaviour from them and this is from someone who was very shocked at Adam that episode, but he snapped from a week of schoolyard bullying and feels very guilty while Jimmy and David have dug down and remorselessly kicked everyone and apparently continue to do so.

Honestly David over this whole show has mortified me just as a person, with what he felt comfortable saying, and everyone laughing off/downplaying him and putting on a family pretense, while typical of I’m a celeb drama, disappoints me to no end. I knew I’d hate him from day one when he threw an older lady out to starve in the Scrubs. Have some decency!

would have been better to have had audience involved?

Banter - I believe that David, Jimmy AND Adam were bantering throughout the show. I agree that the edit was made to look like Adam was being "bullied" due to all reality shows need a "story." From Adam's past media experiences, he clearly enjoys banter.

ITV Edit - They had to edit Adam's outburst due to the C word, but that could have easily been bleeped out like any other reality show. To have chunks missing seems odd. The show is finished. Let us see the footage. I imagine this won't happen.

Ant and Dec - They have a personal and working investment in making sure the show works in their favour. I believe presenters should always be impartial. This did not happen, which influenced the public to take sides.

Ant had no right to overrule and say it was not "aggressive and intimidating."

Adam - He did say sorry, but it is easier to admit fault when you are protected by the company you formerly worked for and by the editorial team. A fair few of us know the Thomas Brothers in real life and we know exactly how they behave in the real world.

Medical Issues - EVERYONE likely has medical issues or mental health going into that show. It is no excuse to be paid and then say "I'm tired" and expect everyone to fuss around you when they are being picked off one by one. I thought being an ally meant to treat them the same as any other person while showing empathy. I don't think diagnosing him with any and everything medical issues from Dr Facebook is viable.

David and Jimmy - Their delivery is awful, but what they say is not to be ignored. 7 months later and they are still upset despite knowing that the majority of the public were team Adam. I would be annoyed if he won too, if that was my mindset.

The other celebrities and the public - Unless team Adam, they were completely ignored and vilified, as were the audience members that queried both sides of the argument.

Mo - I think he was completely robbed and winning via the sympathy vote (regardless of if it is just or not), never sits right with me as the other contestants become sideshow characters. No outbursts, got stuck in and had fun with dignity throughout.

The King - £200,000 and guaranteed work for a year. IF Adam was using his acting skills, then good for him. The Thomas family are grafters for sure.

Now things have settled, what do you think?

David is telling Adam to build his mental resilience. I don’t think it is the case that Adam doesn’t have strong mental resilience, as it’s still being put to practice. It’s not that he can’t take it, it’s that he sees the damage and is choosing not to take it. The difference is the boundary, and David hates it.
