Actually, I think I did vote for Matt due to:
-
It’s a sad reflection on the quality of the other celebs.
-
It’d be nice to see Matt actually fulfil the t&c’s of a contract through to the bitter end, just for once
So, nothing positive to make him a favourite choice …

True. Just think there are others who ought to be removed before him. Charlene for a start!!

She’s the one without a single redeeming characteristic and will not be missed.

I did consider voting via the free App - but then I discovered I had to enter my date of birth and phone number before I could vote, so I decided not to bother.
Looking at the Odds list, it looks like my “favourites” to stay in are similar to the Odds List - I would have voted to keep in Jill Scott - other contestants I like are Babatunde and Owen. If I had more votes after that, I’d keep Sue Cleaver - I don’t like any of the others much.
Not sure how many votes you have for each round - the App said “5 free votes” but I’m not sure if that was for each round or in total over the whole series.

5 votes per show. Although yesterday, since there were 2 things to vote for, you had 2 lots of 5 votes.

2 things to vote for? - now you are confusing me!

There was a vote for who you wanted to do the trial, and then later they opened the vote to keep your favourite from being booted out today.

Awww, Boy George has been annoying me but he was very supportive towards Charlene tonight, when she bottled it during the Bushtrucker Trial - not much supper for the campers tonight!

That was pitiful!! No doubt Charlene, as a journalist, will take it well when other journalists ask her why she’s such a wimp?
I’m worried about @Omah. He might have a bit of a turn if he carries on laughing so much!

I’m lovin’ Owen at the moment - not only is he very supportive and sweet towards to the old Mums and Grannies in the camp, he is a lovely bit of beautiful body, well-toned eye candy! …. Phwoar! 
Oops! Hope it’s not too sexist for an old Granny to say that!

Caught the tale end of Charlene’s “explanation” of why she didn’t sleep in the RV. Apparently to maintain her journalistic integrity.
Instead of expressing my own view on this matter, I’ll refer you to Adele, who will use the sort of language rattling round my head!!

Not sure where Adele comes into it but I think Charlene’s lack of supporting votes was reasonable - she didn’t do much in any of the trials or challenges - and she was very bossy about food preparation and did not give other camp members much of a say in meal prep, so she didn’t bring a lot to the party - and she even deprived camp members of a bed when she could have given up her camp bed for a comfortable bed in the RV.
Good first choice to leave camp, I think.
Bye Bye, Charlene!

I totally agree - Charlene was neither use nor ornament to the camp.

Day 13
Hammock
Charlene arose and declared it OK - well, she would say that wouldn’t she.
Owen had obviously been turning over a comment from Matt the previous night when the MP (after stuffing himself at the Barbie) asked if there were any leftovers from supper - he (Owen) was fuming at the greed of the politician … 
Sue was not happy with Matt because he’d left his shaving water for someone else to dispose of (hasn’t he done that before?)
Cuddling and rapping in the camp - nightmare for some of use … 
BTT - Watery Grave
George - Anxious but prepared
Charlene - Full of confidence
At the site, both entered their watery graves, George carefully, Charlene reluctantly.
As soon as the klaxon sounded, Charlene started shaking - she managed to get 1 star to George in the his grave but then “bricked it” completely - after much cajoling, she got another star to George but then uttered the fateful words:
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
After all that bragging, what a wuss … 
Needless to say, she burst into tears and received much sympathy from the other campers …
Later, with her confidence restored, she was once again bigging herself up, explaining, as has been noted above, that she refrained from sleeping in the RV in order to “maintain her journalistic integrity” - IIRC:
The pair were forced to work together when Hancock chose Charlene to be his deputy as he took on Mike Tindall in a battle to be camp leader and, after emerging victorious, Charlene asked him: “Does this win feel sweet, especially after you lost to Boris? Do you feel like you have been vindicated?” And, after Matt replying: “This more than makes up for it," Charlene added: “I’m super, super proud of Matt for winning one leadership contest.”
So much for “impartiality” - she’s as slimy as Hancock … 
Hancock is not only slimy though - he’s got dirty habits (apart from the shaving water) - there was bird poo on his chair which he casually scraped off with his finger and was about to sit down when the other campers remonstrated at his lack of hygiene - despite the protests all he would was rinse the finger under the drinking water tap … and he’s an ex-Health Minister … 
There’s more … Hancock is not slimy and dirty - he’s arrogant and conceited - Chris and Baba were selected for the “Deals on Wheels” silly challenge (counting vegetables and fruit) which they duly won - the camp had to decide when the Walkman was invented to win CHOCOLATE - Hancock was adamant that it was 1984 - that was the camp’s decision and it was WRONG … 
There’s even more … George was on the bridge discussing Hancock with Seann when Hancock walked up … George decided to “have it out” with Hancock and was polite but uncompromising - that “Nice Mr Hancock” was, of course, not in agreement but totally understood George’s position - presumably, it’s the slime on Hancock’s back that repels insults …
Coincidentally, a new camp leader has been elected - the popular Mike … and he selected the even more popular Sue as his deputy … 
Supper was Alpaca Ribs - an ironic choice for starving campers … 
First Exit
Charlene OUT … and not a moment too soon … 
Unsurprisingly, I didn’t bother with the interview with the “impartial journalist” …

That was a curiously convenient meeting in which BG got the opportunity to move on from his usual style of backstabbing and partake in a bit of confrontational facestabbing of Hancock, which seemed to clear the air a bit. Looked a bit too stage managed IMHO, but it’ll be interesting to see if it leads to anything else.
MH stated before going into the jungle that one of his goals was to highlight dyslexia. Is it just me, or hasn’t he got round to this yet? Maybe he was told not to for some reason.

I don’t think that the “meeting” was contrived but I think that both parties were conscious of their “public image” and each, in their own way, tried to be “reasonable”.
Frankly, I would have enjoyed seeing George let rip but Hancock was too clever to let that happen.
Don’t politicians always forget policy promises …

Coronation Street star Sue had gone up to the dunny area and discovered the sink bowl filled with dirty water. She asked the camp who had been shaving, to which Matt replied that it was him.
“Empty the bowl, f***wit" she told the MP, unimpressed.
But sarcastically, Matt shot back: “Was it a great trial for you to pour the thing out?”
Mike curtly asked Matt: “So much of a trial that you couldn’t do it?”
Matt said to Sue: “I apologise. I won’t do it again in future. I’m sorry that you had to do that."
As he spoke, he mimed tipping water.
This is not the first time Sue has asked Matt to clean the sink after he used it to shave in. Just one week ago, she ranted to Mike after finding similar scenes by the dunny.
“Matt’s left all his crap here from shaving,” she blasted. “He’s come up here, he’s shaved, he’s left all his crap in the bowl, he’s left the head of his shaver, look! Tell him when you go back.”
But Sue decided to tell Matt herself.
“Matthew… You left a bowl full of water with shaving foam in, you also left the head of your razor and the wrapper. Litter in the jungle. I’ve done it this time…,” she said.
Matt insisted: “You won’t be doing it again.”
Politicians and promises …
