I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!

I see they finally corrected it for a new promo today.

2.3 KILOMETRE DROP!

She indicated in a recent interview that she would be open to her straight man being a woman. Not sure how well that would go.

Nick has to do a trial for two days in a row. Today he will face a real honey badger, which will be shown during tomorrow’s episode.

The first person that I thought of in this case is Nazeem Hussain.

That would work. And they are mates.

Has done a lot of work on 10 so execs would be happy with that one.

There’s quite a lot of people and comedians that she’s worked with and could easily work with I reckon. They’d need to change some of the style they have with the rapport between her and Dr Chris quite unique but I think she’s versatile enough that she could create similar with another person.

There’s quite a few around and just seeing some of the comments at times with Tom Gleeson while on Taskmaster shows what they can be like and that they do mix quite a bit not on TV. Using that as an example though - could it be someone outfield like Jimmy Rees? He could be back working with owls again and has made himself quite the name as an entertainer and is popular.

I do enjoy the jabs at 7 though, hope there’s more of them and it’s not really a surprise they’re there. The other 2 networks deny each other exist but 10 doesn’t seem to have as many issues naming the others.

Nick and Liz Face Fears, Camp Sheds Tears.

Honey Badger Goes Head To Head With A Honey Badger In Tomorrow’s Trial.

The camp mates have got a new toy to play in the shape of a Honey Badger! Here’s what went down in jungle town tonight….

Fun for the whole jungle family is a little game we like to call, Sticko on Dicko. Each celeb had to stick their face on Dicko without him noticing, but there is always one who is a bit too enthusiastic, with Deb going a little too hard too soon and nearly giving up the jig.

Chris and Julia chose Liz Ellis to participate in the most terrifying trial in the I’m a Celebrity playbook, Cliffhanger. And no, it’s not watching the Sylvester Stallone nineties hit movie, by the same name, on repeat.

Standing at the peak of the third largest canyon in the world, Liz was greeted with a giant structure composing of two twelve-metre-long towers, suspended out over a yawning void with a vertical two-kilometre drop. If you aren’t afraid of heights, you are now.

But with two towers to climb, Liz was going to need a helping hand. Enter Honey Badger stage left. Disguised as a soundo, Nick stripped off his crew gear and into his jungle gear. High five to the wardrobe department who hid Nick’s iconic curls with a curly wig and his iconic moustache with another moustache.

Nick and Liz worked together as a team to climb the scaffolding and insanely managed to retrieve every flag along the way before letting go and falling into the canyon. Nothing like shared trauma to bond celebs for life.

The next instalment of everyone’s favourite South African woodpile-based celebrity talk show, Getting Wood With Woody, tonight saw Dicko in the spotlight. Dicko broke down when he spoke of the backlash following his infamous comments surrounding Paulini’s gold dress. He had received a letter from a surgeon about his daughter who was in hospital with an eating disorder. A fan of Australian Idol, she had witnessed Dicko’s comments, which subsequently sent her spiralling and near death. A visibly emotional Dicko, a father of two young girls at the time, knew he needed to accept responsibility.

We learned about Adam Cooney meeting his partner at the age of 20 and becoming dad to her toddler who had cerebral palsy and an intellectual disability. At four years old, she was unable to walk. Everyday, Adam would come home from training and together they would practice walking, and after some time, it paid off.

Liz re-entered camp to cheers as she explained the trial which earned her seven stars. Camp went off like a cut snake when in walked Nick Cummins with an extra six stars.

After dining on zebra loin, dessert queen Anna lobbed into camp with armfuls of chocolate, and various other ingredients needed to bake cookies on the campfire, thanks to camp successfully completing the Sticko on Dicko challenge. Lots of things were licked.

It was post feed Q&A time where Bianca Hunt took centre stage discussing the lack of First Nations representation in the media and how all “little black girls want to be Oprah”. Harry then went on to speak about being a boxer while also having a feminine side, before choking up when describing his relationship with his father.

Tomorrow night, Honey Badger will face off against a Honey Badger in the cleverly named trial, Honey Badger V Honey Badger.

Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins was a good edition to the show tonight. The cliff-hanger challenge with Liz Ellis would be so scary for me.

As for a new replacement host for next year, we need someone who can bond well with Julia Morris, and someone who can have a laugh about themselves too. Could someone like Todd McKenney work? That’s if he isn’t doing a stage show or is on contract with Seven?

It depends what chemistry they are looking for. If they try to replicate the flirtatious chemistry of Julia and Chris, you can bet it’ll be Beau.

Dr Matt Agnew could just bleach his hair

There was a mention by Liz last night that they had been on “half rations” for a few days. I assume she meant that 7 star meal that was won in Sunday’s episode (i.e. filmed on Thursday) was what they were stuck on over the weekend.

Well I noticed that they had 3-4 random tasks shown over the Sunday/Monday episodes (e.g. the easter egg catching, the melting egg etc) which I assume were really across the weekend.

I don’t know why they didn’t just have him enter on this challenge if it was created for him.

How long does Channel 10 have rights for I’m A Celeb?

THEORY: What if Channel 7 is about to announce they’ve got the rights to it but can’t say anything until after this season has aired… So they’ve announced Dr Chris (as he’s moving from ch 10 whilst Julia is a free agent?) and then make a full show/Julia announce later this year?

Feels like the kind of show that could fit in the DWTS slot

Until 10 swings the axe.

So you’d like 7 to spoil another show?

I don’t think it’s something that we’d want to happen but we know 7 have taken numerous other formats before. They obviously have plans for Chris. I think it’s unlikely they steal this though, at least until 10 are done with it.

IMO, if Seven had already poached it, 10 wouldn’t have promoted this season as heavily as they have

The Honey Badger Went Off Like A Cut Snake.

Bianca, Deb, Aesha and Nathan Voted Into Tomorrow’s Food Trial.

Well that trial escalated faster than a rat up a drainpipe. Here’s what went down in jungle town…

Tonight’s trial, Honey Badger V Honey Badger, gave the camp’s newly recruited member, Nick Cummins, the perfect opportunity to earn his self-appointed nickname. Nick headed down to the trial area to be greeted by a boxing ring, where he participated in five rounds of Honey Badger (the animal) themed skills tests.

Nick clawed his way up a pole to a beehive, tucked into a giant Madagascan cockroach and his snout was down to the dirt to sniff out buried stars. But Nick proved he was tougher than a woodpecker’s lips, when a large snake sunk its fangs into his hand, instantly wrapping around his arm and constricting. Apart from the initial shock and blood, Nick said it was “awesome”. Who is this guy?

Back at camp, Harry spoke about whether he would start preparation for the Olympics as soon as he left the jungle, in which he was in two minds. But if he was forced to answer today, the answer would be no, shocking his camp mates.

Adam opened up to Pete, and a very excited Woody, about what went on behind the scenes when he left the Bulldogs, as well as the fallout from the Essendon supplement scandal.

Returning to camp triumphant with 10 out of 13 stars, a snake bite, and a hero’s aura, Nick was rightfully bestowed with 76.923% of his chosen moniker. As a little post trial sneaky treat, Nick handed out a “single bean” to all his camp mates… mentos!

However, their celebration was short-lived as jungle mail revealed that the camp was to be punished for their indulgence in the contraband. The consequence? They were doomed to don tiny hands and attempt to eat tonight’s dinner.

Tomorrow night, Bianca, Deb, Aesha and Nathan will be facing the season’s next food trial, Fear Pong. Somehow, we don’t think there will be beer in those red cups.
