I can’t see the finale rating more than 750k this year. Which would be a bad result considering the last finale rated 989k.
I doubt the average viewer was voting 40% more this season so it makes you wonder about ratings. Maybe it has a strong regional audience.
At least the right person won. I didn’t know Fiona very well before this show but she was definitely the star of the season. I would have been annoyed if Shannon or Danny won - I feel they didn’t contribute very much to the season (or in Danny’s case when he did I found him fake or didn’t like him).
Weren’t they counting votes from social media posts using the hashtag? Is that different from last year?
They haven’t done that since series one.

No. The hashtag voting is just for tucker trials. All eliminations are phone voting (as a % of each vote goes to the contestants charity).
Seems Celebrity will be back in 2019 based on this…
"I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! performed very well for Ten in early 2018 in our core target market and it will be back in 2019”

I think it was wise to give it one more go but it does need to be properly assessed at the end of the next season - especially if it rates anything like last season. The cast were terrible last season.

According to today’s Herald Sun, Julia Morris said on Ten’s Pilot Week launch on Tuesday night that she would do another nine-week stint overseas next year for I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
Yep this has already been confirmed by Beverely a few weeks ago as posted above.
Nine weeks? That’s longer then usual… surely there isn’t 3 weeks of prep?
Yeah that 9 week stint would include the two weeks of prep. They show goes for roughly over six weeks if you account for the day or two prerecorded start.
Damn. I was kinda hoping the rumour was true of it airing earlier/shorter over Summer (leaving room for something new or BB in Feb).
Not sure if this link will work, it opened from Facebook for me, anyhow the article is all about Jacqui wanting to do reality tv
surely the producers have put out the call to Jacqui Lambie to appear on ■■■■■■■■ Australia…
I tuning she would be a great get, and nothing like the disaster that was the Oldfelds and certainly not as polarisIng
There were rumours about Jacqui appearing last year and it never happened. I would love to see her on it, I think she would be hilarious.
Julia Morris appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain yesterday and there is a campaign to have her hosting the UK version alongside Declan Donnelly.

JMo lived in the UK for a while but it was a few years ago. Reckon her and Dec would make a great pairing.

She mentioned she lived over there for 7 years on her Good Morning Britain interview.
TV presenter Holly Willoughby will co-host the UK version of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Holly is one of four co-hosts on ITV’s This Morning.
Shame it’s not our Julia, but Holly is a very good option…and very funny
