to think that I'm a Celebrity... is hideous and offensive. Even though I only saw the 30 second clip with the snakes

Violence for violence sake, can't that be considered pornography? The poor snakes.

haven't been watching - what was it?

Can't watch it due to the continuous animal cruelty. Not sure what you are referring to specifically, but find it all pretty disturbing - even though I would love it otherwise (sad reality TV addict with a soft spot for Ant n Dec!)

Neither have I Grape. I only saw a short clip this morning (wish I hadn't). They basically had someone put his hand into a box of snakes and hold it there whilst being bitten. I'm actually bloody furious about it as the snake was basically fighting for it's life / thinking it was under attack. Who thinks this is good TV?

Can't stand that programme, pile of crap. Avoid all reality TV at all costs! (Am not a TV snob, I will watch anything involving crime, crime scene investigators, dramas etc....just not 'reality programmes'!)

Grumpy am right off Ant and Dec for being involved in it as well. What a bunch of half wits.

I thought that too. poor snakes.

sounds fucking awful

Weren't they investigated by the Aussie equivalent of the RSPCA on a previous series? Am sure they apologised and promised not to harm animals again.

Maybe it was all a stunt or something and the snake was specially trained? (Faint hope but TV is full of fakery, especially 'reality' TV bollocks.)

and who are any of them? I mean seriously - have heard of that revolting gillian what's her name and stacy on account of the fact I watched xfactor last year but the term celebrity is a bit of a loose one isn't it?

more - I was a z-lister once now please please please bring my career back from the dead.

it's a load of bollocks this "IN THE JUNGLE" crap. no doubt they are in a hotel and wheeled into the jungle set for filming.

I can't believe anyone is dense enough to be taken in by it but when i suggested at work that it was a nonsense you'd have thought i'd called mother teresa a whore
