I'm A Celebrity 2010

Worth starting a thread for Shaun Ryder, Lembit Opik, Nigel Havers, Gillian McKeith, the obligatory model no-one's ever heard of and Linford Christie?

Yes it is...

This year's official line up...

• Aggro Santos - sounds like an antacid pill. Early eviction (eviction? hard to remember the differing terminology between BB(RIP)/XF/Appren/IAS)
• Britt Eckland - mid placed finish, probably most likely to quit.
• Gillian McKeith - the public will vote for her to do every unpleasant trial.
• Kayla Collins - er, who? Early exit, no-one will know who she is.
• Lembit Opik - see the PUA master in action! Or perhaps not. A favourite to win.
• Linford Christie - another favourite to win.
• Nigel Havers - like George Takei, he'll finish 3rd.
• Shaun Ryder - will surprise everyone by being sober and polite (which he is, having cleaned up a couple of years ago)
• Sheryl Gascoigne - I didn't know who she was, but assumed she was related to Gazza somehow. Turns out to be his ex-wife.
• Stacy Solomon - 3rd/4th place? Has she really done nothing else since coming 3rd on X Factor?

Eviction/ejection prediction (first to last): Aggro, Kayla, Britt (quits), Sheryl, un-named 11th celeb, unnamed 12th celeb, Gillian (hated by the public but kept in for trial lols), Shaun, Stacey, Nigel, Linford, Lembit.

This is just line-up by numbers now, isn't it? Model, associated-with-footballer woman, person off other reality show, one for the kidz, annoying one that no-one actually likes, ex-sports-hero, faded non-Brit whose name rings minor bells with the general population, posh one, cult one, ex-public figure.

Not-seen-on-telly-for-years comedians to be parachuted in after a week obv.

Bobby Davro, come on down!

when's it start, Saturday?

Sunday 14th, 9PM, ITV1. We have wall-to-wall X Factor and Taaaaaaaake That on Saturday.

Stand by for 'Gillian McKeith Eats Cockroaches For Two Weeks' er I mean 'I'm A Celebrity...'

Yeah, I'm in. Calling Shaun Ryder for the win.

Ha yeah, Shaun to win would be amazing!

lol at Cheeky Girls music used for Lembit's VT

oh, i forgot about the iceland adverts :(

jason donovan in sussies = AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH.

Not-seen-on-telly-for-years comedians to be parachuted in after a week obv.

have heard this might actually be Jedward, btw.

Gillian is setting herself up for every bushtucker trial ever, like she wasn't going to get them anyway.

Serious insect phobia - WTF ARE YOU DOING ON THIS SHOW?

jesus what a fucking waste of space, why enter something you know you can't do!

cancel the cheque and let her make her own way home!

'Who Wants To Eat A Willy On Air' - the writers for this show really earn their money

thought stacey would be rubbish, i'm sorry!

Stacey seems funny, Sheryl seems game for a laugh. Who Wants To Eat A Willy On Air - actual lolz

Brit, "didgydoo" :/

Things I know about Aggro Santos:

• His name is Aggro Santos
• He attempted to eat a kangaroo penis on ITV1

ha!

Don't really expect to remember anything else about him this time next year.

Doesn't help that he has a name like a Brazillian footballer.
Why does everything that Iceland sells seem to look like congealed turds?

I have found precisely one reference to Aggro Santos on ILM. On a tracklisting of a comp that someone posted once.

poor Shaun, looks scared.

Someone's got to make a "Step Off" joke when he jumps, aye?

Ha yeah, also how long before he says " you're twistin' my melon" ?

yippie yippie yiyi ayayay I had to eat some cockroaches today

I would keep a running list of how many things Gillian is supposedly "scared" of, but then this thread would be several hundred posts long by now.

Gillian can fuck off already, stupid soft cow. Why why why enter at all.
Already annoyed with her whining!

lembit making friends lolz

xp I think this is a deliberate strategy on her part - say that she hates insects, etc., get voted to do stuff, stay in the contest longer.

ha! music.

" you're twistin' my melon" ?

There we go, about 7 minutes...

How much do i win?

'I'm A Celeb' drinking game: take a shot every time Shaun lights up...

wow, stacey can open her legs real wide!

oh surprise it's Gillian for the Crate Escape trial...

she'll not do it and go home! i hope!

I just turned it on post-James May and hate everyone. But maybe not as much as the "big knickers" Iceland ad I just saw.

Well it's going to be the Gillian & Lembit Show until they're voted off.

Yes it is. With added comedy interjections from Stacey, who will probably win if Shaun is sidelined for the Gillian & Lembit show.

Stacey is odds on fav to win, so I hear.

Linford, this is not how you win a programme like this. Vegemite cockroach sandwich for Mr. Christie!

Nigel Havers going to lamp Lembit :)

Imminent new arrivals include Dom Joly, Jenny Eclair and Alison Hammond.

Return of the Digger? Surely that implies that the trial was completed once before?

Um, no?

In fact, I'm fairly sure it never went away, and was still there from when Gillian McKeith refused to do it.

Well Gillian sat in the digger, screamed "ah!!! there's a worm!!!" and then hilariously the Aussie ranger bloke calmly said "oh we'll just get rid of that", picked up the worm and threw it out. That's when I realised that the really great thing about I'm A Celebrity is that there is absolutely no pandering whatsoever to celebrity BS.

Currently showing the King Boy Pato Memorial Trial.

Shaun: "Fuck that. With a brick."
I want him to win now, simply because he'll be so curmudgeonly even then.

Kayla out - surprised that she got through to the final five given that hardly anyone in the UK had heard of her.

Dom out. Shaun, Stacey, and Jenny in the final.

I think they've made Dom look pretty bad with the edits these past few days but he was never going to win anyway - thought he'd have made the last three ahead of Jenny.

I don't think that Dom has come across particularly badly, he seems to be pretty much as how I'd imagined he'd be - a bit sarcastic, a little bit mean. For me, the problem is that (aside from the letter) he still had his "public face" on.
OTOH with Jenny, I thought that she'd be all brash and full of self confidence, but actually she seems to be easily knocked into a low mood. She's also very self critical, which again I didn't expect, especially during the 'make snarky zings about Dean Gaffney' task.
Stacey and Shaun are opposites really. Positive and negative, respectively, in the way that they deal with the situation.

From the little I've seen, Dom seemed to have the right attitude (for me), getting stuck in but completely aware of what's going on and how ridiculous it all is. Stacey seems excellent telly, and I am wildly biased towards Shaun because he's been exactly as I expected him to be (grumpy but likeable fish out of water) and he hasn't disappointed. Haven't seen enough of Jenny to form a proper opinion (I've only been dropping in briefly and seem to just keep hitting moments of Stacey TV gold - have I just been lucky or is she just unselfconsciously amusing at all times?). Stacey's going to win though, isn't she? Former winners of the ones I actually watched have been gung-ho likeable dafties - Tuffers, Joe Swash, Kerry-pre-meltdown, Pasquale, Biggins.

Stacey is more or less like that all the time. I think she'll win, but Shaun and Jenny are going to be serious contenders for votes. Shaun for being the curmudgeonly but otherwise solid bloke (helped quite a bit by Ant & Dec's friendly Manchester/Newcastle lolz banter). Jenny for just being an actual human being with self doubts and uncertainties rather than the caustic one-liner sarcasm machine that probably everyone was expecting.

And with Jenny, the contrast between her performing persona and her actual personality were highlighted because she was on Apprentice YF a few days before she arrived in the jungle.

She cancelled (part of?) a tour to do this - I get a regular mailout from a venue in my home town where she was due to play the night she flew out to Australia, and she cancelled last minute with profuse apologies and a promise she'd be back to honour the tickets at a later date. I suspect she might be tagging on a few more sales to the tour when the dates get rescheduled.

Funny how she got all "oh noe, I cannot improvise, I will get no work now"

I can improvise (did a sort of version of "Whose line is it anyway" semi-regularly at a theatre in Bracknell), but doing stand-up with a 'sort-of-prepared' script, nope cant.

Two different skills, innit? I saw Jenny Eclair live about 20 years ago, and she was absolutely awful. I've rather warmed to her as she's got older.

It is.

I dunno, with the stand-up it was more "find a hive-mind and pander to it" which basically levels the alternative comedy as being the same as the "northern comic" motherinlaw jokes etc, and I do not like that.

At least with improv, it's always switched on.

Flipping heck Shaun, it's only a bit of flatpack furniture. Just take a chill pill... oh wait

he can't manage a flat pack, but he can suck an kangaroo ball empty and then eat a big fish eye?!?

I really like Stacey - but her gurning smile reminds me of Steptoe senior.

she seems nice enough, but she no shaun!

Jenny to go tonight, I think.

There we go.

Yes, Stacy v Shaun seems right.

"reserve bench" <<< thought so. I wonder who dropped out?

gonna be stacey isn't it.

Yeah but it'll be close.

Shaun and Stacey have the same teeth...

years of drgs and alcohol will make staceys look like shauns

ffs those Mini Beef Filled Yorkshires look like the kangaroo vulvas that Stacey was eating yesterday.

i think you eat pretty much anything after rice and beans most days.

nah think I'll stick with the rice and beans thanks

you've probably eaten worse without knowing.

makes you wonder why iceland sponsor this programme

Makes their food look better by comparison? After watching celebs chomp down who-knows-what, some kind of chocolate and raspberry flavour torte that looks like it's been sat on doesn't seem too bad.

There we go. For those not well versed in spotting a clear outcome days in advance, and/or future search function users, Stacey won.

Poor shaun!

Now he knows how Bez must feel!

Coming second in i'm a celeb's better than getting arrested at euston for beating your wife who stole money from you.
Didn't bez win celeb bb?

Yes, in 2005. But I meant in the sense that Shaun was standing around with nothing to do.

Yeah, when they announced stacey winner, he was in a kinda limbo stood there all awkward. Was sweet that stacey gave him a hug and then went back for a real big hug, she's ditty, but quite harmless.
Shaun's funny to watch, he's quite uncomfortable with praise and attention (these days anyway).

surprised at how placcid and warm shaun turned out to be, always expected him to be a hardfaced tuff. maybe the years have mellowed him but he does seem to be a deep down decent sort. stacey great too, more of a bb type winner in that being a runnerup on x factor barely counts as a 'celebrity', but came across as a genuinely lovely person. practically everyone in camp spoke of her in superhuman terms, as to how nice she was. a great final where both people would have made great winners.

I'm sure that if there hadn't been cameras, and they'd all just gone into the jungle by accident together, Shaun would have been more the hardfaced tuff.

y'think? maybe 15-20 years ago but he just seems weary these days

Highlights programme on ITV1 now.

Yeah, am watching for some light relief after Corrie tram crash. Imagine if Gillian McKeith was your mum!

Actually I have a relative who looks a bit like McKeith, except that she's the exact opposite in her reaction to bugs/snakes/etc..

o_O at Lembit's gf - 'ow does 'ee do it???

pffft so that's how - acts like a little lost schoolboy. Cancel Opik re-write of 'The Game'.

I'd be more impressed if he could hang onto one for more than 2 years...

pffft so that's how - acts like a little lost schoolboy. Cancel Opik re-write of 'The Game'.

ha there's an amazing thread in that, a topsy turvy british 'game' where the dweeb gets the girl

Oh god oh god oh god!
