To think that I'm a --z list-- celebrity, get me out of here is just disgusting,

Tasteless, sick and abusive to animals?!

Oops @ strikeout!

but hilarious

Abusive to animals?? How?

YANBU. I've never watched it, but have seen clips of desperate wannabes eating live insects and having terrified rodents poured over them. Switch a cricket for a kitten and watch the outcry.

Freddie Starr ate that hamster before he went into the jungle...relax

What Chickens said! Eating live things, being put into tanks full of insects and stuff, many of them must die. If they really did make Freddie Starr eat a live hamster, there would be uproar. But it's ok, because it's a worm, or a cockroach. Well I don't think it is.

Freddie Starr didn't actually eat a hamster at all. It was a made up story.

I agree it's cruel to the animals involved.
Last year or the year before there was an uproar about them killing and eating a rat but apparently it's ok to eat live insects.

Insects aside. its just humiliation for entertainment.

Meh, they deserve the humiliation. They know what they've signed up for

I'm a nonentity, get me into there!
