I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2016

[316Mining]

Trash TV at its best/worst. Gotta say I love it.

Seems a decent list of people on it this year, no old battle-axes so I'm guessing someone will be joining them.

Scarlett Moffett currently favourite to win,.

I'm looking forward to seeing how many challenges Wayne Bridge pulls out of due to injury....

Definitely some scope for Jungle shower scenes this year too...

Its become part of our families countdown to Christmas. I wont hear of any Christmas discussions until this is finished. Then i'll start talking about why its still too early to put up decorations, when its finished....

Not really "celebs" though, are they?
I haven't heard of most of them, but maybe I'm just out of touch [sneaks off to buy OK magazine....]
I did meet Ms Vorderman last year in Bristol, and she is very good looking, although surprisingly petite in the flesh.
My Mrs loves this sort of "Council" TV which means I get to retreat to the garage in peace! Win Win

Couple of them I haven't heard of, but that's not unusual for this show.

The ;level of celeb is spot on really. Any higher profile and they wont 'need' to have a good show, would probably strop off or refuse to do stuff.

The level of celeb has to be carefully aimed at 'just desperate enough' to do anything......

Ooooooh, I see. So failing career is very much de rigueur? All makes sense now

Oh God yes. Thing about being a celeb is that its very easy to lead a life that requires constant high income. As soon as that income stream dries up, celebs risk the fate of becoming 'normos' again - people that have low incomes or maybe even have to do real work again.

Kerry Katona was a prime example - spends way more money than her celeb profile allows her to earn, always going bankrupt etc. Takes the 'easy money' on offer from celeb to keep the HMRC off her back, makes a few bob and blows it all on a fancy car for the next father of her next kid....

The other side of the coin is what happened to Mylene Class. Her career was in the toilet, went on Celeb and it hiked her profile right up, saved her career, and probably returned millions in extra earnings. Everyone is going to dream of having her result.

Called most of the winners at this time frame in previous years. But yeah anything can happen.

The cast does appear a bit bland this year though.

[316Mining]

Wayne Bridge. I think the majority of PL footballers regarded him as being as thick as pigst didn't they?

That's some Award!

I assume someone from the production team stepped in to stop Dumb and Dumber totally cocking it up after their first attempt.

Flash, flash, double flash. Idiots!

Must have. No way they suddenly used a bit of common sense on this as they don't have it.

The younger generation are used to gadgets. Give them a real man's toy like an Aldis Lamp and they haven't a clue. Clearly they would be unable to recite Wuthering Heights in semaphore.

My 17 year old daughter has never used semaphore and she had a fit of laughter a these two idiots as soon as they came up with their plan for 'two flashes' for a dot. She wasn't even in the girl guides/scouts either.....

And they aren't kids, Wayne Bridge is in his late 30's ffs.

I got a bit confused with my little joke - it was Julius Caesar on the Aldis Lamp. Wuthering Heights was indeed using semaphore flags. Monty Python never dies.

I felt sorry for Joel Dummett - he seems a sensible and likeable bloke. He had to interpret the useless lamp signals from two retards, all the time enduring the 8-year old girl screams from Adam. Little wonder the info passed on to base camp was so garbled.

yeah Adam is for the next few challenges I think - what an absolute waster.

So Scarlett has had some work done then, thought she looked "different"? How disappointing for such a young girl (whose fame doesn't even depend on her looks). Puts me right off her.

Mind you the same with Vorderman but at least she was trying to defy gravity. Just don't understand why do they do it? They look deformed plus show themselves up as insufferably vain.

Has anyone ever looked better after this stuff?

Scarlett has a serious condition that affects her face. Bells palsy.

[316Mining]

Nah, not a good year. Don't like Danny.

[316Mining]

Lisa is 43 guys. Look around at other women her age ffs. If your misses is that in shape as a 43 year old, good for you.

Don't get me wrong, she's perfectly lovely, just not strikingly beautiful ex model attractive is all. Another way of putting it, would you stop and look at her in the street? Probably not.

I try not to be that guy that intimidates women on the street just because they look good.

Doesn't always work though...

a not quite safe for work image

fk's sake - can you not, I appreciate the image but really don't want to be sacked just for casually surfing the internet in my lunch break.

NSFW? Not in my opinion. You see far more on the Daily Mail website.

Sorry If you think so, and sorry if it gets you into some trouble.

Spumfry said:

That's ok, I'll get the HR manager to give you a call and you can tell her it's all fine

Its been up for hours and no one else has mentioned it. If you think its NSFW report it and let the mods decide. I don't believe it breaks site rules.

I cant believe that people think it amazing that Lisa knows and is friends with Matt Damon.

Matt and George are long term friends, and Lisa went out with George for like years and years. Of course they are friends.

She was an FHM model. Why would they expect her to be mixing in Hollywood A-lister circles?

They probably didn't know she went out with "George" (as you call him ). I had no idea.

She seemed nice enough but didn't really have the charisma to provide much entertainment among such an entertaining bunch, so it's not a great loss to the show to be honest.

Its pretty common knowledge that she had a long term relationship with George. In fact its one of her main 'claim to fames'....

Agreed, she didn't do enough on the show. Shame she could have made more of herself.
