I'm a Celeb GMOOH AKA The Trials of Naughty Boy - 2

The other thread is nearly full so here is a new one. The way things are going Naughty Boy seems trapped in a never ending cycle of trials - the public seem to be taking delight in his discomfort. He seems a bit immature and vulnerable - I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable about the way things are going for him.

David Ginola is very suave and charming - a real silver fox! ☺ Arlene is bearing up well. Matty seems a bit invisible. Adam and Simon are quite entertaining and come across as nice blokes. Frankie is a bit annoying.

The trial tomorrow seems to involve drinking foul concoctions - I think it will be a bit revolting. I'm glad they no longer seem to be doing trials involving eating live insects, that always seemed really barbaric to me.

I love the way Ant and Dec take the pi** out of the contestants and also take time to fit in some humourous swipes at our PM - I love their silly humour, they make the programme doubly watchable.

I suppose they can't do outside trials as it's dark, with them doing them in the middle of the night. The time zone gap allows more time for editing when in Oz, apparently.

It's a shame as there's loads of things in the area that would be epic. Hanging off bridges or trampolines down mines, etc. Very surprised they've not used Zipworld, like every other TV programme.

They could do some stuff on the golf course tho. ⛳😎

I don't feel the same 'jungle' vibe either. In the early days there was a real fear of letting the fire die down or showering/washing in the pool. Nobody wanted the duny jobs and hauling firewood took real effort.

The castle just feels like a waiting game. Nobody's having to use the shower or rely on the fire for warmth. We're all just marking time until the final.

Probably because of Covid restrictions. Transporting everyone plus crew would be a nightmare

Even more impressive as she's got a support bandage on so potentially having an issue with her MS.

I thought that was protection against the snakes biting her! I'm sorry she's gone out, I liked watching her and thought she was a good camp mate to the others.

I think I'd have a pack of playing cards, or paper and pencil as my luxury item.

JacquelineCarlyle · 07/12/2021 00:42

I'm disappointed that Kadeena has gone - she was great - so calm under pressure but not afraid to stand up for herself with NB.

I'm still loving David & love seeing his emotional side.

JaneJeffer · 07/12/2021 01:02

I think when it was in Australia it made us feel like we were getting a bit of vitamin D through the telly to brighten up the winter.

Did they have a Christmas tree last year or am I imagining things?

JacquelineCarlyle · 07/12/2021 01:23

It was over by this time last year so I doubt they had a tree (but I've no memory either way!).

Agree about Australia & the sunshine - even though the trials were tough for them, seeing the sunshine just made everything feel better, including for the viewers at home! A bit of escapism TV - the castle just seems a bit cruel. I'd love to see them having a laugh/ joke / singsong to lift theirs (& our) spirits!

Wooky8 · 07/12/2021 06:04

I think it was someone's luxury item, the Christmas tree last year?

LagneyandCasey · 07/12/2021 07:05

I've invested the time now so I'm watching until the end even though it's getting tedious.

I can't believe the public voted for NB over Kadeena. Maybe because he wound David up and are hoping for more conflict.

We don't see much of them in the Bush telegraph. That part feels very scripted and unnatural. Am I getting it mixed up with BB or did we sometimes used to hear the voice of the person they talk to?

JaneJeffer · 07/12/2021 07:48

That was BB.

People are annoyed because after all the moaning about NB getting to do the trials none of the men stepped up when they got the chance.

Leftbutcameback · 07/12/2021 07:59

I'm so sad Kadeena has gone - thought she was brilliant, and really interesting when she talked about her health conditions s d how they impact her life. I'm glad she and Louise got to do the trial together and nailed it!

I wonder whether all the women will get voted out first. I fell like they've been getting the least coverage.

dropitlikeitsloth · 07/12/2021 08:23

Same with Hollie last year and she got voted off fairly early , I think because no kne really knew her.

I think she got voted off first last year as she introduced herself as Hollie … MBE at the start and Twitter never let her forget it 🤣

Fair enough ....but that was about the only thing we did find out about her!!

I couldn't believe their attitudes! Adam point blank said no, Danny said "I've done one."

They were all moaning and giving the side eye to NB when he kept being voted, now it's a free choice they don't care less!

chickensoup25 · 07/12/2021 09:49

I'll be surprised if the show airs tonight/tomorrow. I live 15 mins away from the castle and we're due another storm here. It's already blowing a gale!

JacquelineCarlyle · 07/12/2021 10:13

Oh no - hope not! @chickensoup25. Stay safe!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 07/12/2021 10:31

Storm Barra apparently.

I hope they've put some more tent pegs in after last time!

Leftbutcameback · 07/12/2021 10:47

Oh yes - good point about the storm! Winds are forecast to be less strong, but there is an interesting squall line with possible tornadoes at the back end of it

Theforest · 07/12/2021 10:59

Can't believe Kadeena has gone!! She's great.

NB is so passive aggressive, it is maddening.

Lampzade · 07/12/2021 11:05

Kadeena is just so lovely

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/12/2021 17:47

Just catching up now

Surely they know from past years that any letter then isn’t won the person gets it 1/2days later

Immaculatemisconception · 07/12/2021 17:59

Who on earth is voting for NB? He's so irritating, why is he still there and the lovely Kadeena is gone. It's a travesty!

Wombat69 · 07/12/2021 18:16

It's not as bad as Arwen, never had a storm straight off the sea before. The Castle is more protected from the wind direction this time. Tents in the production village still looking a bit tatty tho, some bits of roofs missing.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/12/2021 18:38

@Aquarius1234

They stayed with close family in separate cottages first and in the 4 day weather gap..
They stayed with family in the winds

I thought they stayed alone

JaneJeffer · 07/12/2021 19:10

They were alone during the storm.
