I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of Here

[emsiewill]

Just back after a week away, can't believe no-one is talking about this. Surely it's the best thing to have been on TV for a long time?
So many things to discuss;
Darren Day - did you know he had been in rehab (I didn't). Isn't he just a bit precious?
Rhona Cameron - how annoying?
Uri Geller - what a dirty old man
Tara PT - actually, I quite like her.
Nigel Benn - another prat
Tony Blackburn - doesn't he look old? And when will he find a bucket gag?
And so on and so forth.....
Please, someone put me out of my misery, and let me know that dh and I are not the only ones watching this.

this thread has made me laught out loud - after a fairly excruciating solo day with ds. thanks, emsiewill, i too wondered why no-one was talking about this!

Didn,t any of you see the very first episode where the blokes got lost in the orienteering activity despite having psychic Uri(and God if you believe Nigel!) on their side. Then Uri himself got lost from the others. In his defence he said he had agreed not to use his psychic powers because it would not be ethically fair.Yeah Right! Tara has risen in my estimations since the insect shower and besides she's the only celebrity I've seen with tits only slightly bigger than mine. Female celebrity that is!

Has anyone else wondered if the whole thing isn't a spoof and is all scripted and being filmed in a studio set in Shepherd's Bush? There is something just not quite right about the atmosphere of it all.
I saw Rona Cameron in a stand up show about ten years ago (before which I had never heard of her ) and she was so funny and clever, I was laughing till I was sore.
I think that is the problem Tara, Darren and Nigel have with her. She is MILES cleverer than the three of them put together. Also the men are pissed off they can't charm her.
Nigel is a complete oaf. He can barely form a sentence.

The funniest moment for me tonight was when Darren was singing his "profound" song, and Rona/Rhona (don't know which is right) was sniggering. To me, it looked like she wanted him to see, but was pretending to hide it. But then, we've all heard about the power of editing.
And proof that TPT doesn't live in the real world - she doesn't think that men should fart in front of women. I shall have to rip up that invitation for a weekend visit I was going to send her - in our house, farting is one of the things we find time to do together as a family!

I think I'll have to change my nickname after the confessions I've made on this thread.

Totally agree, emsiewill - this show is my absolute favourite item on the TV. I am totally hooked. Glitterbabe is spot on about the "street boys" comment..I had a huge chuckle about that one too. As for Uri - what a pervert! Checking for leeches and ticks?Hmmm.

I am surprising myself to find that I rather like Tara PT. She maybe a little bit up her own bum but on the whole she is not quite as far up it as I had previously thought!!

Maryz, probably not really, but there is something about it that just doesn't ring true.
Tonight's howler was Tara's post challenge speech to Darren "Street Boy" Day about how wonderful and strong he was and how he could now achieve ANYTHING... All he had done was fish around in some boxes of creepy crawlies, he hadn't exactly climbed Everest .

My brother confessed tonight that he watches this show - I thought I was the only one now I know there are loads of us! Probably many more secret watxhers too. My husband tuts and shakes his head when I switch the t.v. on, he did through BB too! Well I'm sick of watching the Discovery Channel with him every night. Who will be out first, hope its Nell, she gives blondes a bad name, she comes across as completely devoid of any personality or wit. Get her out. I hear Keith Chegwin is on standby as a replacement if any walk. It could get even better!

Jasper - they may have been creepy crawlies and I am not one for sticking up for Razzle Dazzle but there is no way I could have done it! I thought the boy did good on that one (shame really...I was rather hoping he would fail and spur on more fights...)

i also hear that Nell is the bookies favourite to win. That cant happen, her entertainment value is nil. Get voting.

I want Tony to win, I think he's an old softie.

bettys, agree with you that Tony should win, he's a real sweetheart. I love the way he combs his hair, he looks like Tony '3 strands' Blackburn. Just loving the way his fringe has been combed to perfection. The producers must be congratulated on taking a gamble on these Z list celebrities, Tony, Tara and Christine have really gone up in my estimations. Future fly on the wall shows should feature Wincey Willis, Jim Bowen, Henry Cooper, Simon Bates, Frank Bough, Lizzy Webb and David Icke and far too many others to mention.

Bless Uri, completely misunderstood in my estimation - Eccentric, but harmless.
How come the bookies make Nell favourite? Is she still in the programme?
I like Tara and Christine - Christine loves stirring up a hornets nest doesn't she.
Darren "man" Day - shut your eyes and hes a dead ringer for that comedian, whats his name - got his own show on itv, dark hair and dimples - help me out here........

Nell is the favourite because the bookies are men and are still folornly hoping she'll get her tits out.

Tony "I'm a better vegertarian than you" Blackburn. Bless. He deserves to win for winding Uri up so much with that comment.

As for Daren "Street" Day, have you noticed how his mockney accent slips when he's pissed off. Incidentally, if he's street, hen DH is Close and I'm paddock.

Emsiewell, Phillip Schoefield used to present a vile children's TV programme in NZ. He's universally loathed there and it is a matter of much amusement to us that he is held in such high esteem here. The game amongst ex pat Kiwis is, if you see him in the street, to run up and shout SHAZAM, then sprint before he takes a swing at you.

I was studying Tony's hair. Has he had implants or something? It's like doll's hair.

Slug, couldn't agree more about Day - even Jonathan Ross was aghast on his saturday show, he remembered him down at the gym being all posh

Brian Connelly - that's the one.

Is he doing Darrens voice over?

It's nearly as bad as that other sad 'street' impersonator, Tim Westwood. Janet Street(no pun intended)Porter once put sad old Tim in her room 101 for his mock street accent, boyz in the hood indeed!!!

emsiewill - thank you so much to alerting me to this programme. It is compulsive viewing - am I wrong to hope some of them never return?

So Uri's gone. How surprising to hear him confess about his "lust" to Nigel - we never would have guessed, Uri!
And Tara's notes to Darren - I bet his girlfriend's so pleased. Mind you, she (the gf) comes from the city that I live in, so she could probably have Tara.
And as for the revelations on the ITV2 program immediately after (well, in for a penny, in for a pound) - I can't believe they let the things they were saying about Cliff Richard, Olivia Newton-John and a member of the Shadows (not all linked together lol) go out live.
Why did Nigel only have to spend 60 mins in the jungle? They said 15 minutes would get food for one person. Surely 15 mins x 8 = 2 hours?

Did anyone see that brilliant programme on CH4 that showed how Uri does his tricks?

LOL Emsiewill - Darren's girlfriend could 'have' Tara - just exactly how rough is it where you live?!
