Another agreed, saying, “100% he’s playing a game. There is no way you would think otherwise.”

One user took to Facebook to say the producers need to go back to an “old format”.
“The season was horrendous. Most of the cast weren’t very likeable and quite immature. They need to lift the ages of these contestants, cos [sic] we had nothing but kids on this season, immature brats,” they said.
