Just seen his BTT, and I was close to chucking up. That was so bad for him, and he did it. :sick:

You didn't notice? It was a small pickled quail's egg.

He really is such a drama queen.

Yea right! So you go next time, and you try it! :laugh:

Yea right! So you go next time, and you try it! :laugh:
I'm sorry to point out the impracticality of your argument, but Norm is not a celebrity. Thus he cannot go next time.

Unless he becomes famous in between now and then, of course.

cheerio!

Oh c'mon Norm, surely you can credit Paul even a teensy weensy bit for that trial. Loved the foot-stomping, dancing though. For a minute I thought his chair was electrified! Give him the crown, he really deserves it!

None of us really know who we are, he could be anyone - Ian Paisley, Carol Vorder-whatsit.....who knows! :unsure:

Thanks for some back up Bella, I really do think he has been the star of all this - go Paul!

But he's so utterly unlikeable. Bring back the Porter, I say.

cheerio!

Paul did well in his trial but I still don't think he should win as he has made such a song and dance over everything... I'm embarrassed for him and his family!

And look! He's crying.

Prick.

cheerio!

And look! He's crying.

Prick.

cheerio!

My thoughts exactly!

I'm sorry to point out the impracticality of your argument, but Norm is not a celebrity. Thus he cannot go next time.


Quite right, wild horses would not drag me onto TV.

And look! He's crying.

Prick.

cheerio!

Couldn't agree more scoob...a giant prick :devil:

Yes Paul is a big drama queen but he made great tv and was deffo one of the celebs that made the show entertaining! I wanted Joe to win as he was my fave but I was delighted Paul came second- congrats to the both of them!

Difference between Jeeves and Joe...we laughed at the butler, but with Joe.

Yeh, OK I admit he did well in his trial, but did you not see at the end, after he'd eaten all 5 of the bush meals, he was heaving away and nearly throwing up.
Up steps Ant with the glass of champagne and says to him, "here you can have this", and miraculously the heaving suddenly stops and Burrell looks up at Ant and says "I can have that" with no signs of heaving/throwing up in sight.:blink:

In other words he's as phoney as a big steaming pile of rocking horse poo.

Exactly :laugh:

do any of you think he looks like Tom Hanks? The man is deluded.

I think the guy did well, he came second, he beat out all the others bar Joe!

Pauls determination in his bush tucker trial showed his true grit - however, watching him do it is possibly the closest Ive ever come to throwing up in my own living room :sick:

It was his determination to over-act like some half baked old ham starring in the village panto.

That's what made me puke.

I'm getting this sneaking feeling you're not keen on Paul N1 :)

I'm sure if I did what he did, I'd be throwing my guts up. I don't know quite what that was coming out of Paul's mouth (hot air I know) I didn't look too closely Unless a kangaroo's jacob has a yellow filling something like a cadbury's chocolate egg, I think he was having to swallow his own vomit.

I'd overact as well, except I'd scream and run away as fast as I could as soon as I was presented with the first platter.

Apparently he was eating his own balls!!!

I don't really care what Normal thinks, I reckon Paul did well - especially for entertainment value, non better.

(He secretly admires him ya know!) :blush:

Thanks for your loyal support, I know you're hanging on my every word really, Eternity.

Good game, good game :) Paul a worthy second as he couldn't be first - lol.

Have enjoyed the show and also the banter on here too. Thanks everyone for the entertainment - those who agreed with me and those who didn't. :laugh:

Hope to catch y'all on the chit chat boards in between times. Love to all.

Hope to see you about critique, I've enjoyed reading all your posts.

I thought he did great, over acting or not he was entertaining to the end. Love him or hate him the soppy old git certainly provoked some strong opinions. I'm sure Paul would be chuffed as a box of frogs to know how many people got their knickers in a twist over him!

Paul was the REAL star of the show.

This is referencd by the fact that EVERYONE is talking about him - even if they didn't like him.

Nobody can deny he was the one we were all watching and talking about it.

He was brilliant.

Totally agree Ceridwen. I bet the editors were hard pushed to find many interesting clips for Joe's 'best bits'. Whereas with Paul it must have been hard to narrow it down there were so many.

Problem is the boot polisher doesn't know when to hit the "off" button.

He has got no idea that all that camping and melodramatic, eye rolling queenerie only makes people laugh at him, not with him.

And his puke-inducing hypocrisy: "Oh I am so glad I don't have to talk about them here..".(the royals) (week 1)

"The Queen was just like an ordinary old lady..." "My boss was such a special person, well you, the British public, know that..." (night before the final vote- pass the sick bag)

JSP was right, He needs to move on and stop milking his association with the royals...he was only a grovelling, pooper-scooping, forelock tugging minion, fer cryin' out loud.

The 'Hell Hole' BTT was the funniest thing I've seen in ages - I've kept a copy of that so I can watch it again.
The best bit was when he said to the rat 'move over darling'!!!!
His little legs drumming against the wall had me laughing out loud.

...he was only a grovelling, pooper-scooping, forelock tugging minion, fer cryin' out loud.


Yep, as are millions of other hard working people in this country, many with superb qualifications, I know, I have been one myself, as a nanny. Brilliant job, excellent pay and perks, and best of all, respected.

Couldnt agree more Norm!

Although I have had the best laughs for AGES watching him do his BTT's.....last night when he was scoffing the beasties my legs were twitching as much as his were but i was choking laughing and squealing with delight (at the sheer agony he was in) :shock: :devil: .......his facial expressions were amazing! He is such a girl and drama queen......but.....for someone who professes to adore Diana like he does, he sure made himself a few bucks out of her....when she isnt around to defend herself :angry:

Yes, respected, especially if you can make a few bob talking about your life with your former employer...

Good point Eternity. Who of us hasn't done a bit of metaphoric grovelling, pooper-scooping and forelock tugging in the name of keeping a roof over our heads.

Please don't lay the humble working class trip on me.

Been there, done it, and shovelled sh*t too.

But I don't earn a wage by endlessly talking about my experiences with former employers - life moves on, and anyway, there is such a thing as discretion.

Im sure we all have.....but how many of us sold our souls to the gutter press on the back of it?

He has got no idea that all that camping and melodramatic, eye rolling queenerie only makes people laugh at him, not with him.


What's wrong with that? Does it matter WHY we are laughing? The point is, he made us all laugh and thus provided entertainment. Doesn't matter what the reason was - the point is he made the show 20 times more interesting.

and come to think of it....wouldnt he have signed the official secrets act??? if I had to, to work for BT SURELY he did to work at Buck House?!?!?

He obviously doesnt understand the meaning of confidentiality and dignity!

I see where you are coming from Ceri, he DID make me laugh and apart from his BTT's the best for me was when JSP was "Burrell Baiting" what a GREAT sport!!! He started to irritate me when she was out of the way...all that mincing round the kitchen........I'd say he is more Doris Day than Darren Day :ohmy: :D

I agree with you completely Ceri and hello Queenie - hope you are keeping well!!
How boring would the show have been without Paul and Janet the only two entertaining characters.
Yes Paul is a big drama queen and admittedly I laughed at his ott reactions to the tasks - they were hillarious! But he seems like a nice guy, he made the most of the experience and as someone else pointed out took the teasing and baiting (esp from Janet) all in good fun.

If Paul and Janet weren't on the show this year it would have been just dire!

wouldnt he have signed the official secrets act??? if I had to, to work for BT SURELY he did to work at Buck House?!?!?

He obviously doesnt understand the meaning of confidentiality and dignity!

Well I know I had to, to work for BT, so he must have to work for the royals.... and if he did really care for the princess like he professed he did then he would have not become a 'celebrity' by selling his story.

I have never read anything he wrote, nor of Andrew Mortons - who did it first.

Could it have been that he put the record straight on a lot of stuff after Morton wrote his? I don't know, I just wondered is all.

Im sure we all have.....but how many of us sold our souls to the gutter press on the back of it?

I'd sell my soul to the gutter press if I knew anything that would net me a few grand :devil: (especially if my information was about someone who wasn't against telling the World about their private indiscretions themselves) :laugh:

What a bunch of miserable, lowlife, bumscrunching, bunch of tinsels there are are on this board who wont hand Paul on single miserly "pat on the back" but fall/fawn over themselves to congratulate the likes of the bossy, horrible, fascist Porter and the boringingly simpering Pasquale.

I have taken note of your names and your unbending spitefulness to the one man who came out of IAC with more dignity than he went in with!

Off Topic - Sorry!!!


But I want to know how come you can get away with saying tinsels but not p!ssed ?

Off Topic - Sorry!!!


But I want to know how come you can get away with saying tinsels but not p!ssed ?darn right it's off topic! :mad2:

Pol is not the King. He is a Queen.

I think Burrell seems to be bringing out the mothering instinct in some people.

All he brings me out in is a rash.

I doubt it as it has since come out that Diana gave Morton all the info for his book personally!

Have you slept with him as well then? :laugh:


No thanks.

Just watching him overacting like a silly, trilling, hammy, powdered, woolly-knickered old panto-dame is enough to make the lunch I had earlier want to go into reverse.

<pseudo-analysis mode ON>
I think Paul is either mentally ill -to whit his extreme emotional behaviour, sobbing, delusions that the GBP might think him an exonerated person on the grounds he can eat a kanga-knacker, and victim-type neurosis as evidenced by his blaming others all the time if things didn't work out for him -including to some extent his lamented princess.

OR

He's a deliberate, attention-demanding fake, in it for the kudos and glitter he wrongly perceives is due to him.

I tend to think it's more of the latter -as his behaviour in the BTTs was not genuine -his 'terror' in the hole in the wall was definitely faked, and in the critter-eating, as I think Andrea noted, he was able to control his retching and squirming when he wanted to chat. The ripping of the shirt was hardly accidental -no-one truly behaves like this! He also knowingly sold the princess to the highest bidder and betrayed her secrets. As others have said, no-one made him to this, nor did they make him ride on the coattails of others during the show. He chooses what to show, and the spin he puts on it......... It's a bit creepy.

His foray into 'sleb' land won't help him either as he's more likely to be surrounded by toadies who encourage him to sell his soul even more -I doubt anyone has ever firmly sat him down and talked upfront with him so that he can properly look at himself. Apart from JSP to whom he ought to feel indebted.

<SLAPS SELF! End of pseudo-analysis mode>

......fascist PorterIn what way is she fascist?

I agree that a lot of Paul's behaviour during his more squeamish trials seemed attention seeking, OTT and faked - but then he served under the Mistress of being OTT/Neurotic didnt he? I think he has learned a lot of his "victim" behaviour from her. Lets face it, he even did the puppy dog, downcast eyes during some of his bush telegraph chats.

Leaving that aside, he did have some pretty vile challenges and did them very well. I just wish that I didnt feel so uncomfortable watching them. Uncomfortable in that I was convinced a lot of his reactions were extremely hammy acting....

JSP facist? oh that is so silly...
Janet Street cred as I heard today, will leave the jungle recognising it was a mere two weeks and work. She took her manger as its work, she can do the schmooze party and treat it like work....

Does Paul Burrell understand how many of the GBP DID NOT vote....OH Paul be very afraid, very; they are digging now. The researchers and the story weavers, they will make you feel as if you are gagging on more than roo's balls.
Burrell baiting is beginning, tapes are being watched and as the good Lucy states, to observe the biggest fake ever. He showed no real signs of trauma.
Don't even imagine you will get big contracts and pantomine that really pays.......Joe will be a star (maybe) if he can deliver the goods and Paul; Paul who?
JSP will keep on doing what she has always done and doing it well.

In what way is she fascist?
Well, she was a bit of a fascist when she took control of the 'kitchen' area and wouldn't let anyone cook, was she not?

JSP was assigned camp cook at the start, and a good job she did, it was a highly produced show.
Fascism is a word to be used with care.

Cracking good post. You said what I'd like to have said, but far more eloquently.

Well, she was a bit of a fascist when she took control of the 'kitchen' area and wouldn't let anyone cook, was she not?Do you know what a fascist is, PJ?

he served under the Mistress of being OTT/Neurotic didnt he? I think he has learned a lot of his "victim" behaviour from her. Yes, I think that's very true. It would be interesting to know what the pre-diana Burrell was like - whether his behaviour really is his personality, or the sad combination of backboneless & manipulative which she espoused and was praised by her public for.

Do you know what a fascist is, PJ?
Yes I do, Lucy

Yes I do, LucyI'm not so sure you do from what you have posted!

Although, that you infer taking an authoritarian dominant approach when it is unreasonable to do so equates to fascism, is, ah, interesting.

Feel free to grow up and please stop trying to stir things :)

Sorry chaps - I just cannot see Paul being OTT in a fake way???

Admittedley his behaviour is a tad 'odd' but it is not unusual by any stretch of the imagination, he is old fashioned, and terribly naive - but not abnormal or fake.

He is just an emotional bloke in touch with his feminine side [so what so is my hubby], who has been cossetted from the vulturess GBP for most of his life, and does not understand the cutting, cynical and savvy life most people live. He has had a massive slating from the press in the past - yet he has retained his dignity, self respect and integrity.

Ok all of his integrity, self respect and dignity may not be the sort of stuff we expect - but give the guy a break - what exactly has he done to those who hate [or dislike] him with such vengance???

Feel free to grow up and please stop trying to stir things :)Eh? What on earth are you going on about?

I don't happen to think Janet is a fascist.

Oh my goodness a good butler knows his or her place, they also know the bosses place and if the boss oversteps the mark a butler can leave and get another job, a good butler is an assett.
There are many tiers in service and Mr. Burrelll was not as near to the top as one would think, he could have taken issue with his superiors.
Paul Burrell and the Royals were mutually parasitic.

Ok all of his integrity, self respect and dignity may not be the sort of stuff we expect - but give the guy a break - what exactly has he done to those who hate [or dislike] him with such vengance???


Good point Flip, has he actually destroyed your lives - personally in some way?
I dislike JSP, but I don't keep going on and on and on and on in every post about it.....I really don't get it myself! :unsure:

I see the opposite of you I see a complete and utter behaviour control freak, further more I see children who need to protect their father.
For it to take a reality show that uses people of public noteriaty and minor celebs and on this occaision an exception in JSP the mother of 24 hour reality TV, if it took this to help him, that is worrying.

'Need' to protect their father? The clips from the jungle of Paul talking about his family, led me to believe they have a strong loving relationship.

Maybe they were protecting him, but that would be perfectly natural wouldn't it? If they were I'd like to think it was because they wanted to and not because they needed to.

Yeah, have to agree with this, they seemed a tight unit, very loving and caring and reacting quite normally to the situation.

Behaviour control freak???????? Burrell??? Oh come on!

The only control freak in there was JSP that I could see!

Behaviour control freak???????? Burrell??? Oh come on!His behaviour was very abnormal -have you ever seen a scared person behave in quite the controlled melodramatic way Burrell did? Switching it on -then equally swiftly and easily switching it off. And if his character was genuinely so emotionally florid I doubt he would have ever been able to obtain and hold a job so close to major royals.

Though to be honest, I hope for his sake that he is mentally ill rather than a manipulative faker -after all there is less to criticise about someone who is unwell rather than someone who deliberately spins with his eye on the fame'n'cash. And he could also get treatment -though I feel he's unlikely to have that insight given the fawning he is now receiving -all encouraged by wads of dosh from The Mirror.

Whatever, he is one very disturbed man.

Umm, they are all receiving wads of cash from different papers, it was part of the contract before they even went in there. Why is he so different that he shouldn't get it - he deserves it more than say Nat or Brian for a start!

Good point Flip, has he actually destroyed your lives - personally in some way?
I dislike JSP, but I don't keep going on and on and on and on in every post about it.....I really don't get it myself! :unsure:

cameras, lots of cameras, money.

Umm, they are all receiving wads of cash from different papers, it was part of the contract before they even went in there. Why is he so different that he shouldn't get it - he deserves it more than say Nat or Brian for a start!Does he? Should anyone feel entitled to tens of thousands of pounds just because they ate a kanga-knacker? In anycase, wrt 'deserving', Burrell has wept and emoted about 'how much this means to me' -i.e. glorifying in the delusional idea that knacker-chomping is some sort of glorious acheivement, worthy of fame, cash and adulation.

The point I was making earlier is that his whole personality seems to be reinforced by the loadsamoney-bearing tabloids -and he much more so than the others appears to have constructed a melodramatic fake to fit around this.

Whew! you are very spot on. The others all are in the media due to there jobs. Burrell is in the media via a dreadfully desperate attempt to right a wrong he feels he endured. Wierd! Maybe Tom Hanks will get him into movies, or maybe he is going to use him too and do a Butler movie.....Poor Paul duped again.

Should anyone feel entitled to tens of thousands of pounds just because they ate a kanga-knacker?



I would personally ask for a bit more than that.

Anyone got any idea what the going rate is to eat a kanga-knacker?

I think some people are reading far too much into Paul's reactions to things in the jungle. Fake or not it was entertaining. I'm sure most of them were putting on some sort of act. Even dear Saint Janet. They all wanted to win for goodness sake! At least Paul was honest in that.

As for Paul being mentally ill. Quite amazing what you can surmise from watching a bunch of celebs in an unatural setting on a programme on the telly for a fortnight. He can save himself a lot of money on therapy now as his 'condition' as been identified.

Fake or not it was entertaining.....

As for Paul being mentally ill......The lunatics in the asylum are outside guarding the sane?

I dunno. The parts I laughed at were at Paul rather than with him -but when he went to his extremes I just felt sorry for him, regardless of whether he could control it or whether it was deliberate. It's worrying that such supposedly fragile behaviour should be seen as a positive thing, let alone 'entertaining'.

It's worrying that such supposedly fragile behaviour should be seen as a positive thing, let alone 'entertaining'.

So did you watch it to further your knowledge in human behaviour or because you found it entertaining? Wow! You're dedicated, I'll say that for you.

The fear you feel in a controlled environment isn't the same as "normal" fear - you know when the source is going to go and you know you are doing it willingly.

I don't think his reactions were odd. Of course you can switch fear off as soon as the source is removed - if it's a controlled environment. I have screamed my head off on a rollercoaster, but the minute it stops I'm chatting away as if nothing happened at all.

I go on the rollercoaster KNOWING I'll be scared, KNOWING I'll scream my head off, and still I do it. I'm ENJOYING being afraid.

It is totally different kind of fear to being trapped in a burning wreck of a car (which I have been). I can assure you I did not scream at all then. I just sat there, too terrified to move or react in any way. Even when I was dragged free I couldn't speak.

So did you watch it to further your knowledge in human behaviour or because you found it entertaining? Wow! You're dedicated, I'll say that for you.What an odd remark! I'm not sure what you are getting at!

No, I didn't watch it because I was exclusively interested in Paul Burrell -as I say I found him a disturbing character to watch, although JSP's spot-on badinage with him was very funny. But the show was more than him and simple trite TV at a convenient time for me. Oddly enough, when watching a program which is all about making opinions on someone's behaviour and judging (voting) accordingly, I do tend to form opinions -and here I am, posting them on a forum set up for that purpose. Er, just the same as you infact. Is that a problem? What has 'dedication' got to do with it?

The fun of watching is undoubtedly enhanced by the play on words on here. The passion and the insults are as good as the show. Some take the whole thing so so seriously.
A dissertation examining an MB community would be very creditable.

What I'm 'getting at' is that you say that watching someone who is 'mentally ill' and finding them entertaining is worrying, yet you admit to laughing at him yourself - and you find my remark odd.

I don't believe I said I had a problem with you posting your opinions. I just don't happen to agree with them. And that's fine by me. Wouldn't do for us all to agree now would it? But part of debating on a forum is offering opposing opinions and commenting on the contents of people's posts which is what I was doing.

Dedication? Er, I was being sarcastic.

What I'm 'getting at' is that you say that watching someone who is 'mentally ill' and finding them entertaining is worrying, yet you admit to laughing at him yourself - and you find my remark odd.As I said earlier, I think it's more likely that he's a deliberately manipulative attention seeker, although his emotional outpouring is bizarre and my amusement was more at the wit of JSP.

But part of debating on a forum is offering opposing opinions and commenting on the contents of people's posts which is what I was doing.Well, you weren't really. As you said yourself, you were being sarcastic. That, and your sudden abrasive manner, is what I find odd.

The parts I laughed at were at Paul rather than with him -but when he went to his extremes I just felt sorry for him, regardless of whether he could control it or whether it was deliberate.
I have to admit, i was laughing at him too Lucy - the best entertainment I had from the 2 weeks was JSP's Burrell Baiting....but when he was doing his "sincere" bit i was squirming and cringing....and if I hear him say "its been an incredible journey" in that sugary, sweet, twee voice again i will scream:wacko:

I still think JSP should have been Queen of the Jungle along with Joe as King.... just for them both putting up with the rest of them - her and Joe were just..............normal!!!!!

I still think JSP should have been Queen of the Jungle along with Joe as King.... just for them both putting up with the rest of them - her and Joe were just..............normal!!!!!Well, perhaps the most normal of a generally abnormal bunch!

Mind you, it's been some relief that of the last 4 in each IAC, it's generally been the most normal/relaxed who's won, while the freakazoids kept on for goggle-factor have been pipped at the post.

Nice to see you again Queeenie btw!

Thanks Lucy - its been good to be back........be it very sporadic :sad:

I know what you are saying though Lucy - and I think its perhaps because we the GBP see that some of the Celebs are a little more grounded and seem to be just "like us" which endears them to us......and then you have the ego's!

I have to admit out of the Celebs this time round, the one I saw myself in was JSP - dont know if this is a good or bad thing though :unsure: :laugh:
