I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here

[Espresso]

I see no thread. Maybe because no one is watching it apart from me. So this is a thread for me, then. Nice.

Foggy, Mel, Nadia, Craig and Vicky all seem to be fairly normal and reasonably pleasant people I'd have a pint and a chat with.

Gemma is a person I might have to crawl over broken glass to avoid. Naked. Dipped in vinegar.

Michael and Tynchy have not made any particular impression so far. But the latter has a trial next time out, so we might know a bit more about him soon. Why is Michael Buerk in there? And why is his name spelled like that. Weird.
Unless his Dad was Dutch, I suppose.

Kendra seems like she might be the one to have a complete and utter meltdown. She's wary of Nadia before she's even clapped eyes on her. Not good.

If there is anyone else, they are less remarkable than even Michael and Tynchy. Oh yeah, footaller dude. Can't remember his name. Nice hair, though. Undecided. Seems a bit self-absorbed.
No. Surely not. A self absorbed footy player on a celeb show.
Never.

As ever, Ant and Dec are having a whale of a time. They're a right pair of jammy articles. I really like them on this, I liked them on SM:TV Live but they annoy the bloody living daylights out of me on BGT and that other bloody silly Cowell thing, Red and Black. Not that I imagine they give a hoot, of course.

Any other Junglists on here? What say you?

Michael has made an impression on me. He seems like a bit of twat. But I'm holding back on finalising that impression in case it's an editing thing.

Many of the others seem like nice people, which is disappointing. I like Mel and Craig best so far.

 

[purenarcotic]

Are fags a luxury item or unlimited supply? Only wondering as I've seen Craig have quite a few. Gemma needs to get a grip and fucking fast, this show has been going for bloody years, nobody can be surprised at the format anymore.

I went to secondary school with Jimmy Bullard the footballer (his hair has been that way since forever, its really that shit) to be honest I thought he was a cunt when I went to school with him, he was a bully and an arsehole, but some folk seemed to find him funny so there we go, I know a few ex school peeps have been dialling in to get him to have to do the challenges. My abiding memory of Jimmy is of him yelling paki at someone and then running away laughing his stupid gonk face off. I don't watch this but will get my updates from work peeps.

Oh, that's not good. He got voted for the first challenge for being a feart Jessie and letting Mel do all the work.

I'd never heard of him before.

I don't watch this, not being appreciative of the type of program in general.
Interesting points that Chris Packham has made here when writing to 'ant n dec' ......

He played in the premier league, unlucky with injuries. He was laughing at himself last night, not the worst housemate - I'd leave her in the prision.

 

[danny la rouge]

Are we doing spoilers? Or do you want surprises? I say "surprises", but...

I think might be unlimited supply - I recall last year when some of the women rounded on Amy for keeping a bit of mascara back, whilst chain smoking the whole time

 

[D'wards]

Gemma will rue the day - she has whinged, moaned, been overly dramatic and now fucked off. People will have the hump.

If you don't like hunger, discomfort, creepy crawlies, dangerous animals and eating horrific things to a huge degree then don't effing go in.

 

[danny la rouge]

Gemma will rue the day

She'll rue the day she decided a light entertainment programme wasn't for her after all? Really?

 

[D'wards]

Absolutely. Do a Twitter search on her name - go on.

 

[danny la rouge]

Absolutely. Do a Twitter search on her name - go on.

No thanks.

Sadly though Packham's usually right about stuff, including this, he doesn't trouble to hide his contempt for the stupidity of most people, so he's never going to mount a really well-supported campaign.

Especially in this case, where being cruel to creepy and insignificant creatures is the whole purpose of the show, after all.

I think people are more worried about the innocent bugs they make the insignificant creatures eat.

Yep, that's the double meaning I was (apparently unsuccessfully) aiming for.

 

[Espresso]

Tynchy was pretty fearless in that trial, I thought. He got stuck in and did his best with no histrionics.
Good stuff. Well done to him.

 

[Nancy_Winks]

Oh God I properly LOVE Gemma and I'm gutted she's gone She was so fucking ace! Turtle and the slug, and ham sandwiches (quavers on the side) and CONSTANTLY being on the verge of dying Nearly everything she said was funny, and she wasn't an irritating twat either.

 

[The Octagon]

Not watching, but horrible for Craig Charles to have to wake up and be told his brother's died by the producers

Obviously he's left the show now.

 

[zoooo]

Poor Craig.
Hope they don't feel the need to show footage of him being told about it.

 

[D'wards]

Aww, poor Craig. I like him a lot.

 

[danny la rouge]

Christ. Surely not?

 

[Hellsbells]

Christ. Surely not?

It's reality tv. I wouldn't be suprised.

 

[Espresso]

Oh God, it's one of those eating trials tonight. I absolutely cannot watch those, they really and truly make me heave. I'll pop off and put the washing on when that comes on.

 

[thriller]

wimp

 

[danny la rouge]

wimp

I'm voting for Espresso to watch the next one. *starts dialling the short number*

 

[Espresso]

thriller and danny la rouge - you are both degenerate arses.
That is all.

 

[Espresso]

Mel is nails. I loved the way she was just making conversation about last night's dinner there at the end, when she was carrying those innards. Ace.

 

[danny la rouge]

She'll be in the final 4.

I reckon you're right.
