First up, if you are a hater bugger off somewhere else.

Thoroughly enjoyed this series. Feel Good TV in a time of shit.

I hope that Big Vern wins, but I suspect that Jordan will get it. Either way well done for cheering people up.

Jordan surely. He’s been the most entertaining.

Really surprised Shane got voted of, I think he was too!

The cheeky/chirpy middle aged bloke is a sure thing usually.

I called it for Giovanna on the very first show.

Jordan is really funny on Radio one, hope he get the fame from the show, and if vernon looses his attention seeking wife is not going to be happy,

My last night of being forced to hide in another room to escape it. That said, fans seem to like it and I appreciate that it's made a lot of people really happy having it back on the telly. I hope Jordan wins, having heard a brilliant interview with his very interesting brother on 5Live this evening.

I think Ant and Dec are fantastic, proper old fashioned "family" entertainers that make a refreshing change to all the more current, edgy presenters that I also mainly like. But there's something about this show that I can't get on with, not sure if it's the contestants or the challenges, but it just doesn't work for me.

We are so chuffed that it's been held here. The preservation society have absolutely nothing, and have been doing wonders over the last few years. We go a couple of times a year to visit and support them. My family, and my wifes family went in the 70's when there was jousting and entertainment, but it was left in disrepair.

It's not a real castle (folly) but it's a fantastic place. Would be great for an XC MTB race...

I think Vernon has brilliant all the way through, and Gi has really grown on me.
But Jordan for the win, surely.

C'mon Jordan.
I've even bought a 'Happy place, Turf Moor' T-Shirt. He doesn't know it yet, but between him and the club, they've raised £20,000 for Pendleside Hospice with those.....

I do have a bit of a thing for Gi though, she's a sweetie.

Vern for the win. He was a regular in our local pub when he was getting 'known' many years ago.

It’s lacked something this year but has got better. The Celebrity Cyclone is always the best.

I've never really watched it before, assist from the of but on Gogglebox. But we've watched a fair old chunk of it this year and I've enjoyed it.

Think Vern deserves it after that final trial, that was awful!

I thought it would be won by Shane but when he left I was a bit shocked tbh! Got to be Jordan though, pure entertainment all the way through.

I can’t take to Jordan tbh, to me he comes across as the average unlikable trying too hard to be liked kid at school.

No one else could present this show other than Ant & Dec though.

Jordan comes across as Mr Ordinary just living life, no big ego to fill. Vern is what he is a ‘one of the lads’ he’s been a team player. G seems to be a lovely person but dull entertainment.

Jordan deserves to win as he had so many genuine phobias he’s overcome.

I think Big Vern comes across like one of those kids at school who always had a Slazenger jumper, posh trainers and a creme rinse.

It's on here, first I've watched of it in like a decade.

Vern's out. Based purely on the food challenge earlier I think the woman should win (whoever she is).

Marmite and Cottage cheese on toast.  That’s a new one on the list for me.

She has a massive following on her podcast apparently.

Still well done to her.

Podcast killed the radio star.

Who is she again? Sorry, totally out of the loop on people in the public eye.

I haven't watched it since a bit of curiosity in the first series, but thought I'd have  a look at this one as it's on my doorstep.

I have to say, I've thoroughly enjoyed it, and all of the characters have grown on me. Pleased that G won, but any of the last half dozen, or so, could have "won".

Pleased that the castle (folly) has had, what must be, a massive boost - the production has used a lot of local suppliers and trades, so it has been a boost to the whole area. I hope that Covid restrictions fade away and the castle trust can capitalise on the publicity and get some tourist trade in next year.

There's some decent trails in the woods behind it, too 😉

Married to some pop star does podcasts. That’s about all I know.

I'm conflicted on this, its a great boost for the town and local economy but from a selfish perspective its been a pain in the arse having all the tracks and trails closed off... usually mountain bike and run loops of the grounds most weeks... some great trails above the castle...can't wait for them to reopen

Was the bedroom actually a castle room or a set built inside the castle? It was obviously sealed and heated, but to me the floor and walls looked a bit "fake". No idea why, but they looked a bit manufactured.

There was lot of added sets in there, just like there is in the jungle.

Wondering whether they'll actually go back to Australia again?
Might be time to rotate around locations in the UK.... It's not like there's a shortage of them.

Probably costs more to do though.

I *think* that the bedroom / living area really was in the castle.

I guess that the challenges were done on sets inside the enormous tents that they had pitched up nearby.

Here's how it looked a few years ago:

It seemed a bit wobbly and bouncy looking for solid stone.
