Title: I'm a celebrity!
Post by: marras on November 25, 2016, 10:48:49 AM
I know I'm a bit sad but currently undergoing chemo so can be excused for watching I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!!
My favourite has got to be Adam who actually makes me laugh out loud. He is such a happy chappie but his fear of spiders is off the scale! He just cracks me up every time he does a challenge. My other favourite and the one I predict to win is Scarlett. What a lovely, sweet and caring girl she is with a wonderful sense of humour. Is anyone else enjoying it?

Yes we're loving it and not ashamed to admit it lol

Agree with your favourites and your reasons

Hope you're feeling ok with the chemo and it works it magic to bring you back to full health xxx

Oh dear! I don't like your favourites! Adam's twin brother was on another reality show and so he is encouraging everyone to vote Adam for all the trials more or less making out it's in a jokey way because he's scared of everything but to me, it's so he gets the most air time. Everyone knows those who do all the trials end up staying longer. I didn't like the way Adam was goading Joel last night when he had to drink the awful drink and was making vomit noises etc.

As for Scarlett...unfortunately, she's getting too much air time for my liking. She seems to feature prominently most nights. I prefer it when we get to see some of all of them. I'm glad Ola got immunity as she had hardly featured at all and I thought she was at risk of going out tonight. I think it will probably be someone like Lisa who will go tonight. It's always the ones that never get a lot of air time.

I find Martin so immature.

I like Joel, Larry, Wayne, Carol and Ola.

I wouldn't have it on my screen having watched the 1st two series.   ::)  Nor that programme with Simon Callow (do I mean Callow?!?)  …… however, enjoying something that causes the giggles gets my Vote ;-)

I did laugh last night when they didn't give Martin the piece of chocolate but notice today in the Daily Mail online there is an article saying Martin is being bullied which is ridiculous. He gives as good as he gets in my opinion.

I really enjoy I'm a celebrity, if you think Adam is afraid of spiders you need to meet me  ;D

I agree, if you were really afraid of spiders you wouldn't go in there......I think they just say that to get more air time.....🕷🕷🕷🕷

I agree that Scarlett, Adam now Martin are getting far too much airtime. 
You don't get a chance to see what the other people are like.
I think Adam will win with Scarlett a close 2nd.

This is the 16th Series, so they all know how to play the game! Every year, the person who is scared in the trials gets picked constantly for each trial so as Adam is an actor it's easy for him to have created his 'scared of spiders' act. Same with the one who is scared of snakes. As if you would go on this programme if you were that scared but of course they use the tagline 'I want to face my fears'. Anyway, it's well known that none of the snakes etc can harm them.

I'm too cynical now after watching all these kind of programmes for years but I do still enjoy it. Ant and Dec always make me laugh.

Anyone scared of bugs wouldn't consider going into such a situation  ::).  As a phobic I know they wouldn't not for all the money in the World!  Apparently when doing Mental Health Nursing one of the tests is to put a hand into a hidden set of boxes without knowing what is inside  :o to make potential Nurses aware of what fear really feels like.

I never had problems with the Bran Tub at Fetes  ;D

We've been discussing this these past few nights.  We're both really scared of spiders but I would consider those trials as a test for myself plus I wonder whether you feel gee'd up knowing there's cameras there and an audience ?

I've done things in the past being egged on that I'd never normally consider

Josh & Wayne might be in the running now.

Do you mean Joel?!

Well Adam proved me right last night by putting the spider in his mouth. Bad move on his part as just proved what a complete act his fear was of the spiders in the other trial.

The Producers know who they want to win which is why they get so much air time so I'm pretty sure the Final 3 will be Scarlett, Adam and Martin and I expect Scarlett will win but my ideal final 3 would be Joel, Wayne and Larry (or replace Larry with Ola).

Oh yes I mean Joel.    I thought Martin would have been the first or second out, but he seems to have settled down a bit now and isnt as annoying.
I would like Joel, Wayne & Jordan in the final but I think it will be Scarlett, Adam & Joel.

I noticed last night that we hardly got to hear their phone conversations with their loved ones but of course we got to hear most of Adam's and his girlfriend telling him how proud she was! He is obviously one of the Producers favourites to win alongside Scarlett who seems to feature prominently every night!

I bet Lisa would have been surprised when she got out at how little air time she had been given.

I agree.  It's like the Adam & Scarlett show.

First year that I have been bored , and don't really care who wins 😟

Trouble is when these shows are on for so long the contestants know what to do to win or to get picked for all the trials and of course this year, they have done well in all the trials and haven't even starved like previous contestants. Plus, the trials are all so unoriginal now and we know that there is nothing that is really scary. Most of the contestants will know another celeb who has done the show that can tell them all the behind the scenes secrets!

Not watching this year, first time in several years. Have seen odd snippets, but it's much the same as previous years.

Yes, you're right Megamind, it needs a new format next time. Still enjoying it though and it's nice to see a group of people get on so well.
