“So I didn’t choose Adam after that, I didn’t know anyone was going home, I thought it was for stars.”

He continued to explain how he spoke to someone on production and asked about the terms of his contract, and claimed he would only get a percentage of his payment if he quit while in camp, but would get the whole amount if he did it during a trial.

“This proves Jimmy was talking rubbish. He even smirked whilst standing there refusing to do the trial after letting Adam get in with the ants waiting for him.”

But another argued: “I think the notion that Jimmy purposely chose Adam to get him out is a joke. It isn’t a big conspiracy. Jimmy was selfish, plain and simple.”

A fellow viewer agreed: “Yeah, people are reading way, way too deep into this. He just wanted his full pay, there was no secret conspiracy to get Adam out.”
