The chance of this year's I'm A Celebrity crowning a queen of the jungle has continued to dwindle for one obvious reason: the women are being eliminated en masse.
I'm sorry, but what is going on with the voting this season? Why are so many amazing women being given the boot?
The first five celebrities eliminated from the jungle were all women: Samantha Moitzi, Nicky Buckley, Shayna Jack, Sigrid Thornton and Tina Provis. Dave Hughes was the first man to be sent home — over three weeks after the premiere.
Before the second last episode, there were only two women left in the jungle with four of the boys. As we head into the finale, Reggie Sorensen and Geraldine Hickey are both still in with a chance.
The public's decision to eliminate most of the women before sending home any of the guys is something that didn't sit right with actress, Sigrid Thornton. "One thing that I do find kind of strange — I think there will be a lot of commentary about this — is that there are only two women left in the jungle. That is weird," she told Mamamia.
The reason for this voting pattern is something she couldn't put her finger on. "I don't know if it's the voting system, what packages and clips are shown on what night, who's voting and why, or social media followings," she said.
"I do find it unfortunate, let's put it that way, that there are only two women left. I don't know what to put that down to, but I think it's quite fascinating to observe."
