I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE PART 2

[bearlyactive]

Following on from the last thread!

Sorry

Trial announcement we voted for tonight (which they then film tonight along with the meal for content for tomorrow).

So did Jess have to get up for when Ant and Dec came in?

Jess went to bed straight after her trial. She did the trial yesterday.

cherrypie no she didn't because the trial/pheasants/her being sick happened last night.

I voted 5 times for Hollie - just because she hasn't had a chance to do anything and seems disappointed every time. Think she probably wants to do some trials!

I thought the episodes and timing ran as @BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz has explained, but before Jess went for the drinking trial, weren't they saying something about enough critters for one day. Which makes no sense if chronologically that was before the spa trial?

Anyway, credit where due, that trial was fowl and they both did really well.

I assumed the morning was previous morning not today's. Oh well it's pretty fake set up.

Yes, we are seeing it backwards.

So we see the coin challenge first (just done this afternoon)

Then we see the trial (done last night, after the vote)

Then we see them eating & going to bed (last night, after the vote)

When we saw Jess going to bed, it was last night. But confusing because we just watched what happened in the daytime BEFORE we watched what happened last night.

Right now, Hollie & Shane are doing the trial they got voted for and the rest of them are still waiting for their dinner!

"Something you would eat at home" - pheasant?! Maybe in your home Vernon bit certainly not in the home of anyone I know!

Had pheasant quite a bit growing up, perfectly normal meat! Although maybe not as "well known" as turkey and chicken

Well, there you go, things that separate us: Where you grew up: pheasant - totally normal Where I grew up: eels - totally normal

The pheasant looked delicious. I've never had it.

Victoria nn Bev 'Bevlar' is pissing me right off

Depends where you live. In the country, perfectly normal and usually free food.

Not unusual to come home to a brace of pheasant hanging from the back door as a gift from a shooting friend.

You roast them whole like a chicken.

You do have to gut and pluck them first and hang them for a few days.

Tastes like a rich chicken.

There are a few butchers round here that sell pheasant. They're everywhere too. When I take my son to school I have to watch out for them on the country lanes as they're often stood in the middle of the road.
I have seen some hanging up outside the butcher's in Ludlow.
Never tried it myself.

I live in a fairly rural area of Wales and don't know anyone who eats pheasant at home. And the only person I know who hunts/shoots lives in a vey large country house, and is certainly not representative of most of the population!

Just caught up with the last 2 nights. Shane is annoying, but I don't understand all the hatred for him. Hes loud and clearly attention seeking, but I'm not seeing what most of you seem to be seeing.
And actually in the drinking task, he was great. When A&D said what was in them or if they made a joke, Shane laughed and got on with it.

But yes re failing at the washing up. Leaving them to soak till the water went cold is NOT washing them. When there's not a massive amount to do each day, I'd have thought jobs would have been a good distraction

And re the pheasant, my dad lives in a country village. He has pheasant fairly regularly, as a couple of the villagers go shooting. But there's no way he would refer to it as a normal meal - I think that's the difference. Even if vern and tess eat it regularly, they should know that it's not exactly a "man of the people" thing to say that it's an everyday normal meal.

Also, I am really getting fed up of live animals in trials now. Shane could have stood on anything in his trial, and nobody seemed to be watching where he stood.
And in the spa, they must have killed loads of insects by the end of 12 minutes. And as others have said, if they're non native, then how do they make sure that they are all caught and none are released?? Has this been addressed anywhere? Eg are people asking on twitter etc?

Giovanna gets a lot of stick because she's incredibly smug and acts like the first woman to have given birth much like all the McFly wives! Ant and Dec are fantastic their comedy timing is spot on and they are completely in sync with each other.

And in the spa, they must have killed loads of insects by the end of 12 minutes.

I started off feeling glad that their heads and hands were restrained so at least they weren't thrashing around so it seemed a bit better than the ones where you crawl over stuff.. but then at the end when they got up all the critters just got chucked & shaken everywhere. I didn't think they needed to put so much on them either, the spiders and snakes at the end were unnecessary.

I think they've addressed it by just saying they catch them all.. but so many must get crushed during the trials too.

Where you grew up: pheasant - totally normal
Where I grew up: eels - totally normal

See, never had eels before and not something usually on the menu round here. Pheasants on the other hand, totally normal countryside grub lol Oh and I'm definitely not anywhere near posh lol

If the trial is done straight after the votes, 10.15, they won't get a meal till well after 12am depending on how long the trial took. Then the cooking of the food. Seems very late. Makes sense for the timing of editing tho

And as others have said, if they're non native, then how do they make sure that they are all caught and none are released?? Has this been addressed anywhere? Eg are people asking on twitter etc?

Yes, people have been talking about this

I know I'm second guessing but I think what Vernon said about pheasant perhaps didn't quite come across as meant... I have never eaten pheasant at home, and I know people also eat hare, eels, all types of fish and sometimes squirrels, but of all of them, I too would consider pheasant the most 'normal' although I'd probably have said 'vaguely normal' rather than something you have on a plate at home.

Then again, perhaps they do regularly eat pheasant!

Ah thanks for the threads re the insects/animals - I'll have a read of those now on my break.

Someone I know has a shoot. In pre-covid times city folk come to the shoot but then don’t want to take the birds home. So they get gutted and frozen.

Or they end up hanging on the back door of various friends. It’s not something that is bought in a shop, more a free meal from a friend.

I do agree, I dont think it came across as he meant it - however as I said earlier, it wasn't very "man of the people", and that's before even getting to the fact that a lot of families are currently not able to put a meal on the table at all. I also feel that if Shane had said pheasant was a normal everyday meal he would have been slated for it.
