I’m a Celeb – week 2

The fence is down, not a moment too soon!
The luxury items and there is always a few that have a different sense of luxury than most!
Shoulder pads?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does Julia Morris write the….hh hhhmm….jokes? She is dreadful. Dr Chris is lame. If he is going to say “You get capes from Capetown”, he needs to follow it with “boom, boom”. Tragic.
Tahir is going to annoy everyone with his violin playing. Sam is going to annoy everyone with his stories. “He’s boooooring, Docteeeeeuuuur”.

Justin; ” It might be someone not as good looking as I am”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh Jethro Bodine, keep it coming. It makes up for me enduring the not-comedy duo of Chris & Julia. The fact that he means it, is what makes it so funny.

I think the chubby gogglebox girl will outlast the pretty one. She is funny without having to talk about poo.

Justin is a parody of a male model. That’s what makes him so delightful. I wonder if they put in that tweet about Luke’s pretty face to get a rise out of Justin. No subtlety.
Luke’s a sweetheart, so I imagine he’s not long for this show.
Also Angie is getting too much screen time to last long. That’s the way it seems to work here.

I love that the campers call Justin Zoolander. But I think Jethro Bodine fits too because he is such a doofus. It’s like he has never lived in the world before.

I missed the first half hour last night. Did I miss anything, and if I did, does anyone know when is the next rerun?

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Justin is such a dick, but I still love him. Maybe he is just cunningly clever and pretending to be an oddball narcissist.

I think Sam will be out first. If the journo doesn’t get some more airtime, she might follow him.

I don’t know if Justin is as dumb as bats**t or whether his brain has been hardly used, but it’s fun to watch his face as the wheels turn slowly. He is the gift that keeps on giving.
And yes, I agree with you Daisy, I think Sam will be first to go. There is just something that makes it difficult to connect to him. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s that feeling that he doesn’t seem to forget that the cameras are on?

Sam has a creepiness, like he is the guy in the room who farted a really bad fart but who won’t own up. And yes, he can’t seem to forget the cameras.

Luke is adorable. I would go to a party with Luke on one arm and Justin on the other. Mind you, Justin would absndon me immediately to preen for admierers. Luke would find me a chair and buy me a drink.

I am worried that Richard Reid who is my favourite will be the first out, as they seem to be frantically showing as much footage of him as possible the last couple of nights. May it not be so!

Tahir getting too close to people is something they are usually asked to do as a secret challenge.
They haven’t done any of those challenges this year where 2 of them go off & bring back that big box with a question to win a snack.

*No spoilers here*
Well that surprised me.
I’m disappointed. I wouldn’t have said that a couple of days ago but now …
Truthfully, I’ve grown to like them all.

And PS, this is when Julia comes into her own. She is so kind to the heartbroken. I can forgive her everything.

I haven’t watched yet but I hope it’s not Natasha – she has a really dry sense of humour that appeals to me.

I haven’t got time to watch the whole thing. Does the elimination come toward the end of the show? I can always find out here who went, but kind of like to see the reactions when the announcement is made who will be booted. That’s not very nice of me, I think.

I wasn’t expecting that elimination. I thought ******** would be more like about 4th on the list to go.

Didn’t RR do a great job of ad-libbing the elephant scene. Evie did well for someone without Richard’s years of tv experience.
So who is coming in tomorrow?

I looked on another site, and I am surprised that you all seem surprised. Seems like a change of heart since the first episode?

We did have a change of heart. **** (assuming there are those who are going to watch the replay) was nails down a blackboard for the first couple of days and then was vulnerable, and open, and articulate and genuinely interested in the other camp mates. I am now a fan.
Btw, their wiki page makes interesting reading. Who knew?

Aw how cute was it feeding the elephant? They must have read my comment. I was just commenting on that yesterday. I love elephants, but I would have been freaked out doing that with no handler anywhere in sight. Elephants have been known to trample people.
Gross food challenge was hilarious & revolting all at once.

I’m planning to watch the encore but I did find out who was punted.

The mood in the camp has suddenly changed with another footy player.

Photo: from the movie Women in Love, Alan Bates and Oliver Reed. (When I saw this movie, I thought it was a wrestling scene).

Well, I’m watching the first hour tonight.

In chores allocation, is Justine always so precious? She looked really pissed off when she thought she wasn’t cooking, as though she doesn’t want to do anything that isn’t easy for her. And Sam calling her a world-class chef, uh, no Sam, she isn’t. I don’t like Justine anyway, so am not giving her any benefit of the doubt.

Richard and I-already-forget-the-other on toilet duty made me laugh. I doubt anyone would want toilet duty, but it’s a job that has to be done. None of them seemed accepting, much less ahppy, with their assigned job. Big babies.

I used the word “pinned” above, about the picture, as a wrestling term, not as innuendo of anything else.

Stupidly carrying on a weak joke turned offensive.

I apologise.

I find I have to watch it on tenplay after it has aired – between JM’s horrendous jokes and dress sense and Jackie’s sulking and negativity whenever she doesn’t get her way, the ff button is essential. I find Jackie a really poor sport – I’d be happy to see her or Sam go next.

Sam’s reaction when he thought he was doing the cooking was hilarious. That challenge was ridiculous & practically impossible. She was lucky to get that last balloon.
The guys skinny dipping was funny. But what were the black things they all had around their waists?

I haven’t watched last night’s yet. I look forward to seeing which side of Justine I fall, or if I remain “whatever”.

There’s enough steam coming out of Justine’s ears to start a pop up restaurant.

I think there are so many costume changes because the current run of programmes is a compilation of past series. I think she’s great.

I am really liking some of these new challenges. They are more inventive and less based on just always eating disgusting food.
Challenging but with a little humour, and not so repetitive and tedious.
And I am really liking Natasha. I might even vote.

Struggling to really get into it this season.
I have noticed hardly any challenges with snakes, rats or creepy crawlies.
But i do wish there were more group challenges and sunday nights used to be an all in which was always fun to watch.

Eeek! We have 41 today and 44 tomorrow. My office building was leaving the aircon on all night to hopefully allow for a cool office tomorrow too. I hope you are keeping hydrated and can get some sleep – i am expecting a few grumpy-no aircon at home-peeps tomorrow.

We are just watching the start of last nights and I am with Angie when she said, “Look how much one new entrant changes the camp”. That only happens when the extra player is an, “Oof oof ooof”, male sport star. I hate the way those alpha male footy stars completely take over.
And I was with Justine on the conga massage line. I prefer my fun less forced.

Footy guy; “So, we have chose….”, he won’t be winning any literature prizes. The more I see Der mott and Shane together, the more I like anyone but Der mott and Shane.

These guys were funny together, and I loved Natasha’s punch line; “and eventually I will share there enthusiasm”. Jayblossom, I see what you mean about her dry humour. I love a wit who can pull a joke off without cracking a smile.

That was my favourite tucker trial ever.

I got a few pics.

There were so many good shots.

But it was hard to get them to keep still.

It was so funny.

It was hard to choose pics.

They all had great expressions.

Ha ha ha.

This one’s for Jaybee….

This one’s for me…

And this..
I only like him for his nature.

That challenge was so hilarious, especially Richard. I assume those zaps weren’t too painful, that would be a human rights violation. Another taste of Big Brother, Alex did that on Big Brother.

According to the papers! a Hollywood A lister goes in on Sunday. No Brooke, you are not an A lister!

Bear with me. It’s 38 degrees, the girls are playing in buckets of water and I’m bored.
I am intensely disliking the blokey atmosphere in the camp at the moment.
One: bringing footy leadership skills to a bunch of fully formed adults is a bit naff. For goodness sake, they are not children who have just left home.
Two: too much touching is not reading the room. Like, eww. Inappropriate, particularly, in the current environment. Have these men seriously been ignoring the news? Or do they just not understand because they never actually talk to women?
Three: men swimming naked means that the women are excluded from the waterhole, which seems to me to be the best place in the jungle. Entitlement much?
Four: So are the women are forced to stay in camp? Doing women’s jobs? Or just contemplating their place in life?
Five: if the women are excluded, there is no bonding with them, no meaningful conversations with them, no decisions with them, no taking their concerns into account. Best way to marginalise a minority group.
Six: all the bottom touching by Shane and Dermott is making me seriously uncomfortable but I suspect that’s more on me.
I could go on but as you can see, from my point of view, this is problematic on so many levels I could write thesis on it.
I can’t wait for Dermott and Shane to go home but it is unlikely to change things. I think this is a reflection of Australian society and I am only representing the concerns of the few.
Unless Jackie gets up in their faces. That would be good. But then it is unlikely they would listen. They would just call her a femo-nazi and dismiss it all out of hand.

As soon as Crawford entered the camp, the crowing began and the top dogs started marking spots all over the camp to out alpha each other. Sam is trying to fit in with them like a puppy dog.
Angie, I think, noted that the camp dynamic had changed. It shows that they don’t fit in and consider others, but expect others to be their puppets.
Oh, and does it show that I don’t like them? Dickheads.
