David Van Day
Unbeknown to David, his fellow camp mates rumbled his plan yesterday and conversation soon turned back to this topic whilst David was out with Simon collecting the Celebrity Chest.
Martina was shocked when Joe admitted that he thought that he would go tomorrow, ‘I think you’re going to win the whole thing, I do’ she said and revealed that she thought David should be the first to go.
Still deeply hurt by David’s apparent behaviour, Joe said ‘You know what does my head in the most with it yeah is that he has been here fourteen days and for fourteen days I’ve campaigned for him, I’ve stood up for him... I’ve helped him mingle into the group and then he wants to make me jealous that’s a really, really quite a low down thing to do. I’m not going to say nothing to him, I’m just going to let ride.
‘Some people like David are just so desperate for a career afterwards its last chance saloon for him’ added Nicola.
She later said in the Bush Telegraph, ‘Joe is such a nice boy, and he has been gullible but he said he would have done the same on the outside word because he believed it, now he’s started to see that David was just acting.’
Joe continued to his fellow camp mates, ‘People come in here and play a game but I do think there’s a lot of people that are playing a game. But there’s playing a game and then there’s dragging someone else into it trying to trip them up, he tried to use me.’
Agreeing with Joe, Nicola also said that she thought he was trying to cause the arguments when he first arrived in camp.’
George then said, ‘A snake in the grass. I think David is basically that kind of person, a manipulator.’
‘I’m so gullible George, I will believe anything anyone says to me’ admitted Joe. ‘I would have too, that’s why I admired your sense of decency and fairness in standing up for him’ replied George.
‘I find it interesting watching David now that he has got inside of us,’ continued Nicola. ‘And you know, "Oh thanks Nicola for the rice" - when did he ever thank anyone? He was so rude doing the chores he’s only been doing that for the past two days he just used to go up on that bus on his own or get Joe away from us.’
A resigned Joe then said ‘You live and learn don’t you George’, offering the actor some words of wisdom, George then added ‘And that’s going to be true no matter how long you live.’
