I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

[Baddar]

This starts on ITV1 tonight.

Am I the only one on EWB who follows this show? I watch it every year, and I watched the US version with Lou Diamond Phillips and Torrie Wilson earlier in the year.

Normally, I don't care that the cast aren't high profile celebs, but I'm a bit annoyed that Jordan is going back in. Why? Just because ITV have a thing for the lives of Katie Price and Peter Andre, they fork out in excess of 300k for her to experience something she's already experienced. Ugh.

Jimmy White is in there and there's a couple of others who have the potential to be decent. The lack of Kara Tointon is disappointing, but still (she was an early rumour). My issue with it is that I think it's gonna turn into the Jordan show very early on and remain that way, with her being put up by the viewers to do all the trials in week one.

I'll be tuning in until it annoys me to the point of no return, anyway!

[9 to 5]

No Colin Hendry.

im not going to watch it tonight due to Top Gear being on but i will watch it every night. Im disappointed that they pulled Gazza out, that would have ruled

[TKz]

That Team Andre bit had me laughing. This is worth it every year just for Ant & Dec.

[Katsuya]

Bwahaha, Katie Price fail. "Oh, I can't do it, it's definitely you!".

Hopefully this downfall is even bigger than Jade's.

[TKz]

I was voted down for my love of Ant & Dec? If you grew up in Britain they were your saturday morning gosh darnit! I find the people's lack of love for Ant & Dec... Disturbing.

I love how Jordan was all about going back into the jungle, showing everyone she's really a nice lady and trying to get back on publics good side. So what do the I'm A Celebrity production crew do? Paint her as pure evil. Awesome.

I also quite liked "Ehh... I prefer the... Pamela Anderson."

[Crybaby Bunting]

The problem isn't that Ant & Dec were our Saturday mornings.

The problem is that they've been on ITV presenting every big ITV show for the past 10 years. They hop from one show to another, and we don't seem to have a break between them.

We're sick of the little smug cunts.

[METALMAN]

Plus they have irritating geordie accents.

They were background noise somewhat spoiling my enjoyment of Cat Deeley and later, Tess Daly in nurses outfits.

And for me (and probably Hammy), they are, and always will be PJ & Duncan - 'I CANNY SEE PEE-JAAAY, AMM BLIND!'

Brilliant television!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ahhhh I feared paintball for years.

[clayton93]

Ant and Dec rule i brought there book the other day, its amazing. The Italian chef looks funny so far, i lol'ed at the pamela anderson comment

[brenchill]

What's the betting that this years twist will be Peter Andre being thrown in at some point. Now, I realise this would be tacky as fuck but this is Peter Andre and Katie Price we're talking about.

[Liam]

He turned down that offer, apparently.

[Baddar]

In The Star today, it claimed Jordan had said she's only gone in there to get Pete to love her again and that they will re-marry.

It's probably a bullshit story, but it wouldn't surprise me given their relationship with ITV over the last few years. As annoying as hearing about the two of them is, it's making money.

EDIT: And it's on at 8.30pm tonight til 10pm. Live trials FTW!

It's been on the front page of The Star for literally the last two weeks, and if it's not the show, then it's Jordan, or Jordan and Alex, or Peter and Jordan, it's just ridiculous. Same with Hello and OK, with the exception of the Rooneys last week for their baby. And if it's not I'm A Celebrity, then it's fucking X-Factor. Ugh. Come back Big Brother, all is forgiven...

[Katsuya]

A little bit of news...

Camilla has quit/left due to exhaustion, and been replaced by Joe Bugner, some boxer who fought Ali.

[Baddar]

Ugh, Big Brother.

They don't get through a week without a "BB IN NEW RACE ROW" headline. :/

[Skummy]

On the Jordan/Peter bullshit - the day it was in The Star that they had split up, I said to my sister that they'll be back together by Christmas. I almost put money on them releasing a Christmas single. The front page of the Star today is Jordan saying she only went into the jungle to try and win Peter back, and that they will be back together by Christmas. I wish I'd placed that bet.

Oh, as for Big Brother race rows and all that cock - that's one of the myriad things I hate about Big Brother. The whole idea is supposed to be that it's a cultural experiment into human behaviour (yes, I know they all but abandoned that angle in favour of cheap shock telly after the first series...or probably more like halfway through it, I don't know, I've not seen it since then), and the whole thing is supposed to be seeing how people would react in that situation...yet when people react as people invariably do - by being cunts - there's a huge fucking furor about it.

Brilliant, I was reading about him just the other day in an Ali book.

The reason people watch these shows, are to see pairings of celebrities that'd never happen. Do you remember that advert with Alice Cooper and Ronnie Corbett? That's what the public want to see - what'd Ronnie and Alice actually have to talk about?
