I’m a Celeb – who will go tonight?

Who will go tonight on I’m a Celeb? I used to think Tegan but she actually seems pretty cool. Will people vote for her, though?
Maybe Kris? Tzip?
Here’s a link to an interesting behind-the-scenes-look at how the filming on the show works.

I’m a Celeb – a new week begins

What are we – week 4 already? How many tanties will Keira have tonight? And who is the world famous “camp” star going into the jungle?

Here’s a recap of Keira’s best whinges and blonde moments. “What are hedgehogs,” she asks !!

Looks like some big storms are hitting Africa but there must be a big tarp over the camp because the celebs weren’t getting wet – they just had leaves falling on them.
The contestants are strapped to a giant wheel where they will have various creatures dropped on them. Each pair has to do a puzzle while being pelted with snakes, scorpions etc.

Poor Casey has a massive panic attack and utters the “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!” I also would not snakes dropped all over me.
Jay lets Nat win and Keira also does the “I’m a Celeb” call – she claims so Ash can win their match up and eat.
Winners get to eat pie and sauce. Is there a trick? Is it going to be a maggot pie or something?

Afterwards, Jay pulls Keira aside to tell her she needs to grow up and participate in the game because she’s 30 years old. It’s a right dressing down. Ouch! Tzip sticks up for Keira. Good on you, Tzip. Yeah, she’s annoying but just tone it down, Jay. She’s not one of your eight kids.
The pie looks rather tasty and they wash it down with what looks like Fanta and Coke.
Keira gets to cook for the losers but Ash and Kris aren’t impressed with the result.
Steve barks at Keira to do the dishes and it escalates into a “you don’t own me” argument that goes on and on. Each wants to have the last word. Keira eventually starts sobbing on the bed and Tzip tries to comfort her.

The celebrity going in tomorrow night is revealed and, yes, it IS Carson Kressley. I used to love Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. He and Keira can compare notes about facial treatments. He’s never been camping, though. This will be interesting. He has to be more fun than Tom Arnold. I bet Ash and Nat will know who he is. Dane won’t have a clue.

At camp Keira reveals to Lisa the story most of us already know from her interview post-Bachelor, about growing up in a cult, of which her father was the leader. She didn’t know which of the wives was her mother until she was six. Lisa is definitely the camp mum, mentoring all the young ‘uns.

Umm, what else happens? Not much, really. Casey sings beautifully about random stuff, Ash and Keira have a tiff because Keira is surprised anyone can tell she has botoxed lips.
So let’s get straight to the evicted celebrity is … Jay! Does that mean Pricey will now be camp leader?

In Jay’s exit interview he doesn’t speak too highly of Ash, is a bit less dispariging of Keira and gives Naz a big thumbs up. We learn he lost 13 kilos in three weeks (along with, he quips, “the will to live”). He says he’s delighted to have lost some weight and chokes up a bit when he talks about being a healthy role model for his children.

I’m a Celeb – week 3 – Bachie contestant to enter

Well, this is exciting news:


Osher has to bringing a Bachie contestant, which makes me think Keira will be going in. She would certainly give Tom a talking to – if he’s still there. It’s a vote to save, so could be him or Tegan. Voting closes Sunday halfway through the show. Who do you think will go?

UPDATE: Yes, Ten confirmed today it IS Keira. She is going to ruffle some feathers because she knows she has been brought in to play the villain – a role she relishes. Her confessionals will be gold. Steve is going to detest her and there will be much flirting with Kris.

I’m a Celeb continues – 2 newbies to go in

And so it continues … I’m a Celeb got off to a pretty good start but that’s me out now MKR and MAFS are starting.
I’ll post a new chat thread for each week of the comp and tune back in sporadically.
Channel 10 should be happy with the premiere’s ratings – beaten, of course, by the tennis ratings deets here.
Good to see Celeb has cast some strong women this year. They all have big personalities, except Tegan the self-described “brand ambassador”. Is that someone who’s paid to Instagram bikini shots of themselves holding moisturiser, because that’s what it sounds like.
I’m thinking Casey, Jay and Ash for final three, barring any medical emergencies.
MY GUESSES FOR THE NEW CELEBS
Based on this video, the two late-arriving celebs are Kris Smith (Danni Minogue’s ex) and I’m thinking Kate Fisher (sorry – can’t spell her new Jewish name), who made a sudden resurgence in the news late last year.

I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! 2017 premiere

JMo and Dr Chris are back in the jungle and on our tellies tonight from 7-8.30pm on Ten.
Chat away but remember you may get spoiled if you peek before it starts in your time zone.
THE FIRST FIVE
Here we go – just as many people suspected, it’s Nat Bass, actress, Rogue Traders singer and host of So You Think You Can Dance Australia.


And the man better known as Roseanne Barr’s ex, Tom Arnold. And, just patting myself on the back here – I totally raised him as a possibility back before Christmas.

Here's the proof
Here’s the proof


Nazeem Hussain, who is a hilarious comedian with a strong grasp of social issues and politics, is there for some culturally diversity (filling the Akmal role from last year). Let’s hope Ch 10 airs what should be some very interesting campfire chats with Steve Price, who we already know is going in.

Tegan someone who won a beauty pageant who we’ve never heard of – sorry Tegan. I’m sure you’ve raised tonnes for charity. She says she is a brand ambassador. According to Google this means she spruiks beauty products.

Collingwood footballer Dane Swn (carn the Pies!).

The first five are welcomed by Dr Chris and JMo and Tom Arnold says he’s never seen the show but he was inspired by Russell Crowe and Curtis Stone to do it – hopefully the first of many instances of name dropping. Steve says everyone on The Pane had no idea but Peter Helliar and Carrie Bickmore posted on Instagram their suspicions were confirmed on Thursday when they tried to call him and his mobile was off.
These five celebs will form a team and have to wait to see who their rivals are. They change into their navy and red jungle uniforms, board a plane and do the parachute thing. Tom’s comment: “That was hard on the old nut sack.” Poor Nat Bass is trying not to cry – not that I blame her – but Swanny is giving her locer room pep talks.

THE NEXT FIVE
As we already knew, it’s radio presenter Steve Price who, being in SA, I only know from being the token right winger on The Panel and I usually change the channel when he’s on.


And then the other one we knew: Lisa Curry. Who does not know that crochet is not pronounced cro-sherr.


And next, here’s a surprise: it’s Ash Pollard from MKR two years ago (and then Dancing With the Stars). So this is the outspoken blonde reality star – not Keira from the Bachelor. Steve fails to recognise her even when she says they’ve met, live in the same suburb and have the same manager. Interestingly she is allowed to tell Lisa she was on MKR, despite it being on Channel 7. Ash will be good fun – they promoted her as a villain when MKR started but she actually turned out to be quick witted and a good sport. She might stir Steve just for fun.


Next up it’s OH MY GOD HERE COMES THE WINNER OF THE SHOW. No-one is going to vote a Play School presenter off – especially not Jay Laga’aia. And he has eight kids – what the heck!


And then it’s another non-surprise and what the heck has Casey Donovan done to her hair? I know she has curly hair but she is out-boofing Ash – and Ronald McDonald red.


A helicopter lands and Jay tries to shield the women from the wind and red dust, while Steve ducks round the back. It’s JMo and the Bondi Vet. This team gets to wear khaki and the red pants and they are abseiling out of a helicopter. Lisa mentions she was married to a helicopter pilot and, yes, Google, says Grant Kenny ran a charter business that had 60 birds. Poor Casey has tears trickling down her face as they are in the air (well, she did say earlier she was “up shit creek”). She does it, though.
But abseiling down wasn’t the only challenge – now they have to do slide off a giant rock and do a flying fox thing down to meet the other team. Steve is thrilled by the news.


To his credit, Steve, at 62, goes first and is fairly stoic throughout. Amid much screaming Ash does some dance poses mid-air and Tegan at least recognises her. Casey freaks out again but goes through – “I feel like a Christmas pork!” she yells out to the waiting celebs as she dangles awkwardly above them.

THE CELEBS GET THE “AFRICA WILL KILL YA” TALK AND THEN IT’S CHALLENGE TIME
Snake man freaks them out with a spitting cobra and various other deadly animals.
The Dr Chris tell them the winning team “will get not just the fastest route into camp”. JMo: “I love a fast root” but you don’t really hear it because Ch 10 mutes her for a bit. The winners get comfy pillows and the pick of beds but they have to do the usual “put your hand in creepy crawlies” thing. Each team gets to choose who the other team’s hand putter is and, unsurprisingly, Ash and Nat Bass are picked. The others have to climb into tanks that are filling up with water and catfish. (Hey, that’s a beauty treatment you’d pay for in some countries to remove dead skin!)


Inside the first mystery box is mice and Ash and Nat are screaming so much they’ve guaranteed they will be voted in by the public for every challenge.
The second box contains cockroaches (far easier than mice) and the producers would be thrilled with the facial contortions they are getting out of Ash. Nat sticks her hand in a box of scorpions while snakes and frogs are added to the water tanks.
The key finders have to don gloves for the next box, which seems to be some kind of iguana – so the gloves must be more for its protection than their’s. Baby crocs are then released into the water tank. The next box sees a tonne of screaming but they’ve just pranked the girls with some soft toys that jiggle, while the last box is snakes. Nat Bass gets what appears to be a little nip from a snake.
Nat Bass’s team of skydivers wins.

TIME TO SEE THE CAMP
They’re having trouble lighting the fire and Ash cleverly suggests they use a tampon as a kind of Jiffy firelighter – terrific idea. Casey earlier pointed out the challenge winners all picked beds away from the fire, so they’ll be colder at night. And, surely, if you are worried about animals, being near the fire is a better idea?
TOMORROW NIGHT
There’s a promo saying two more celebs arrive tomorrow. Both have famous exes and one of them is Australia’s hottest male model. Hmmm …maybe Next Top Model mentor Didier Cohen? He dated Kelly Osbourne, I think. Does Millsy count for his fling with Paris Hilton?

I’m A Celeb actor clue

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here is the first cab of the rank in the new season of reality shows, sprinting out of the starting blocks a whole day ahead of the others, on Sunday, January 29.
Here’s the latest “clue” and my pick is Michael Caton. What do you reckon?


If it was 15 years earlier I guess I would have picked Bill Hunter.
The show screens Sunday to Thursday so I think I’ll just be tuning in for the premiere and fast forwarding through the gross food challenges.
