I’m A Celeb – Sunday, Feb 14

Legend Erin has crossed a crocodile-infested river and warded off a lonely Warnie to bring you this recap. Thanks, Erin.

Sunday night 2nd elimination

Hi everyone, feel like tonight ep was a little dry, lots of little things happening but nothing particularly dramatic.

Julia and Chris are in their valentines best, walking across the wobbly bridge to open the show.

There is much talk about talk about changing the chores and camp leader… Shane doesn’t want to give up camp leader and all the others say what they would change or do if they got the job.  Tomorrow night, Shane is going to be de-throned and a new camp leader will be in place.

Havana talks about meeting Justin Bieber.  Apparently he tried to chat her up – she said he was like a little boy that didn’t know what to do, she suggests that he probably doesn’t usually need to do any chatting up.

Paul carries his footy around camp, like a child would carry a comfort toy or blanket.  Later on Fev and Paul were kicking it around, one of them kicks it in a bush and it got punctured, Paul is pretty devastated, he feels like he has lost a limb.

Brendan and Shane are off to a challenge, Fev is very excited – I think just to get out of camp, excitement disappears when they arrive at the challenge and realise what they have to do. They are greeted with a pool of guts and all sorts of stinky stuff, I missed how long they had to collect coins to use at the bush kiosk, stock at the kiosk includes, biscuits, Vegemite, tea bags, cheese, a new footy amongst other things.  They cover their noses and mouths with their singlets and in they get.  They manage 24 coins, deciding to get a new ball for chief, a bag of chips and some tea bags.  Back at camp, the others are all happy but lots think they should have got the Vegemite because of all the things they could have done with it.  I love me some Vegemite, but only on dry biscuits or bread for me!

Laurina, Akmal and Havana are eating fruit that falls off the trees, the others remind them the animals pee on the fruit… I’m with the others, don’t think I would be eating them either!

Tucker trial time – Creepy Callies for Jo Beth, Val and Bonnie. The trial newbies Val and Bonnie are nervous.  They have 3 telephone boxes, when the phone rings they have to get in, answer some questions for stars, of course they will be joined in the box by from creepy crawlies.  Jo Beth is first, she joined by maggots, she answers all her 3 questions correctly – 3 stars.  Bonnie next, she gets 10000 flies, she manages, 2 out of 4 questions correct – 2 stars.  Lastly Val, straight away her box starts filling up with water, she remains pretty calm as 10 crocs join her, then 10 cat fish, her feet now off the ground, and 20 snakes get in, 100 frogs – finishes with 3 stars. 


They finish with a total of 8 stars for the weekend.  Back at camp they are all pretty excited about that.

Everyone gets a card from home for Valentines Day, each has to read out a card for another camp mate, its all very sweet and they all get very emotional.

Social issues seem to be the topic of the day, they talk about choosing the sex of future children, Donald Trump becoming president (shudder) and gun controls.

Shane shares a story about gambling with Kerry Packer in Vegas (I think it was).

There’s a party at the waterfall for Havana’s birthday.  She gets birthday cards from her family and partner, a butter cake, and there are some pool toys for all the celebs play with in the water.  A waterfight ensues, Brendan says he enjoyed mucking around like his mental age!  Akmal suggested some were letting out some aggression.

Their last supper dinner for the week arrives its, wildebeast and vegie sausages.  The sausages don’t looks very good uncooked, but Fevorina’s manages to cook up a great feast.  Fev saved his koala choc from The Irwins chest challenge the other night to give to Havana, for her birthday.

Chris and Julia run into camp to tell the celebs who will be heading a back to the real world.  Its time to go… Akmal.

Akmal joins Julia and Dr in tree house.  He seems actually pretty happy to going home.  He says it was hard to get a word in some times, and he obviously missed talking, he practically talks over Chris and Julia the whole time – it was hard to keep up with what he was babbling on about.  They show a couple of highlights packages… he talks about as a comedian it was actually quite hard because, he was used to performing to a captive audience and the celebs all thought everything he said was a joke.  


He gets to choose the next person for a tucker trial.  After seeing the preview for the trial he chooses Dean.  Then its time for Akmal to get out of there.  I think he must have been keen for food because he really wasn’t listening to the directives he was getting with walking over the bridge with the fireworks or posing for pictures etc. haha!

So that’s it, until tomorrow night where we find out who the new camp leader it – who do you all think it will be? I think they’ll choose Paul.

I’m a Celeb – Tues, Feb 9

Opening a new comment thread for tonight’s show in case those in the eastern states want to start chatting. It’s Atom Ant and HB in the Tucker Trial tonight – good to have some fresh faces – and apparently Warnie spills the, umm, beans, on the famous baked beans rumours.

And here’s guest recapper Erin with another fabulous recapping effort. Thanks, Erin. – live long, prosper and may you never find a box full of Irwins in your living room
Chris and Julia open the show, walking the wobbly bridge, Julia has in ridiculously high heels on, I really don’t know how she does it!

They say there had been HUGE drama in the past 24 hours!

The boys wake in camp, the girls have gone to their safari – they boys like the quietness and are enjoying how nicely they are all getting along.

The Irwins greet the girls at the safari, Robert is carrying a camera that looks like he has joined the paparazzi.

It would seem all the girls were cheaters. Clearly there is more drama to show in the episode, so they rush thru the safari very quick.

Shane shares a cricket storey – I kinda tune out at the mention of cricket..

Anthony and Havana are off to the tucker trial, they talk about supporting and being positive with each other.

Chris and Julia explain they are having “lunch” with a dinner guest, monkey named Riley. The first round for 2 stars, they must eat whatever Riley, doesn’t. Riley’s first choice is Pig Snout or Dried Fruit. Riley chooses Pig Snout, so Anthony must eat the Pig Snout, he gets it down – 2 stars.

Next Riley must choose between prickly pear or sheep’s brain, he goes for the pear so Havana, gets sheep’s brain, she downs this also, another 2 stars.

Monkey see, monkey do is the next round.

They must eat what Riley does, he has a choice between a banana or passionfruit – Riley goes the Banana, so Havana gets a banana… with raw croc spleen! Another 2 stars.

For Anthony, Riley leaves the pumpkin, goes for the capsicum.

Anthony gets capsicum filled with cow intestine – up to 8 stars now.

While watching Anthony eat, I’ve just noticed he has a line down his forehead like Laurina does, maybe it’s a botox thing?!

Final round is beat the baboon.

Drink a gross smoothie (it has kidneys, tripe juice and other gross stuff in it) before Riley finishes his mango.

They get about a 5th thru the smoothie and Havana can’t finish – so head back to camp to tell them about the 8 stars. .

There are a few comments in camp that Dean does all the washing and Laurina doesn’t help.

After Jo Beth dobs her in, Shane tells Laurina she should go help, she claims Dean won’t let her, but goes anyway.

Discussion begins about the chores and how they would like to change it up.

Laurina says she would like if she could cook and she would take on board everyone’s suggestion, and here comes the JB v Laurina biff.

Basically Laurina thinks JB doesn’t take her ideas on board when it comes to cooking, JB says her ideas must be crap or take too long. JB overhears Laurina bitching about her, again, and shes off to dobs her into Shane, again.

Akmal tries to make them kiss and make up but that only fuels the fire. Lots of back and forth with neither of them really listening or wanting to take on board what the other has said and I feel like JB talked at Laurina, just as she told Laurina not to do to her – double standards?! They tell Akmal is all good – pretty safe to say, we haven’t heard the last of that!
Akmal likes being filthy apparently…

Shane has another cricket story! Tuneout time!
Chest challenge – the girls picked Fev and Dean to do it.

It’s a poo challenge with the Irwins – Guess Poo, which animal poo belongs to who. The Irwins are very excited by poo. Fev and Dean manage to guess all the right poos and take the chest back to camp. At camp the chest has a question about the average age of mothers in Australia – luckily they get it right and get koala chocolates from Australia zoo

Food arrives – Hake, ricotta and mango for desert. Jo Beth makes at effort to ask for ideas. Once they sort it all out, realising it might take a while, Anthony offers to fry some left over rice if people are hungry and want some food straight away, Laurina says she would like some but no one else does, so he retracts his offer. Laurina is upset in the toktokie later on because yet again no one will take on board her ideas.

Chris and Julia, pop into camp, to tell JB she must do the next tucker trial – The End of the World.

See you all tomorrow, where I guess we find out what happens at The End of the World!

I’m A Celeb – Ep 2 and chat

Just fast forwarded through Mon night’s Celeb, mainly to see the reaction to Warnie’s arrival. Honestly, is anyone going to watch this every night, especially when there is so much else on? If anyone is mad enough to do so, feel free to email me recaps, as I can’t see myself watching regularly unless a pack of hyenas attacks the camp. Maybe when it’s final five …  Laurina is a genius for bringing a blow-up couch when the others had family photos. If anyone gets narky with her they can poke it with a sharp stick. They all hate her already (although it’s not clear why) and run away. I don’t think Laurina will be fussed.

Fev shows a different side of himself, talking about depression and rehab.

Oh god, more charades … And finally the box with Warnie cooped up inside is revealed. Bonnie doesn’t really know who he is but he’s Fev’s BFF. Val brought cards so they’ll just be playing poker all the time. I love that Akmal is geeking out over Warnie.

Warnie picks Fev for the first Tucker Trial and they get bugs dumped on them. They both do well until the snakes come in and that’s when I’d be bolting. The medic checking the blokes afterwards for sneaky bugs reminded me of *nerd alert* Star Trek: Wrath of Khan and the larvae crawling into Chekov’s ear – urgh!

Dinner ingredients include warthog ribs so they must be wishing Julie Goodwin was on this season. I’m thinking browning then a slow braise but they’ll be too hungry for that.

Harrogan’s a vego – who’d have thunk it.
