…did you actually watch this series, or was the rest of Australia (that thought the same thing as me) watching something else?

I am so sorry Firetorch didn’t realise you were posting for “the rest of Australia” obviously my views and opinions are wrong 
If you are gay yourself then that is all the more reason not to post homophobic remarks. I find your " but it is a stereotype for a reason" quote a little puzzling. Why not place all the other celebrities in to “little boxes” too! I don’t think Brendan, Warnie or “the Chief” had this opinion of Anthony. He and Brendan were very entertaining together. The only two people who had no problems with Laurina were Havana and Dean. Maybe you may have had a problem with her too if you were forced to live with her. I know I would.
Move on all
Yeah she really was. Season would have been a complete fail without her.
This is an incorrect interpretation of what I posted. I had just referenced that Australia had voted for Laurina to stay on the show longer, in preference to either Anthony and Jo-Beth. Therefore, you stating that “imo not entertaining at all”, does not reflect what the rest of Australia obviously thought.
It was all over the media prior to the show beginning that the foundation was going to fold. Warne even did a press conference about it. He was well aware of the findings of the audit. I am actually surprised the producer’s didn’t suggest Brendan chose another charity.
Besides the half he donated to Paul’s charity, Brendan announced during the finale that the money will be donated to other charities for underprivileged children.
It did appear to be a weird oversight. Given questions were being asked about the foundation well before the series commenced i would have thought the producers would have steered clear of it. I have no idea how it works but maybe it was a condition of Warne’s participation in the show that his foundation gets ‘chosen’ as one of the celebs charities and it was already committed to
Has I’m a Celeb been renewed?
I don’t think TEN have said anything about season 3. Overall the season improved this year and was only on one channel unlike in 2015. I can’t see why they wouldn’t renew it.
I wouldn’t see why they wouldn’t renew it either. Just wondered if I had missed the renew news. Out of all the reality shows on all channels it is by far my favourite. Still not as good as the UK version but pretty decent.
Yeah, I don’t think they got the casting quiet right this year. There wasn’t enough conflict, Laurina (and whoever she was arguing with at the time) was the only entertaining one for a large part of the season IMO. With the BBL final the night before the launch next year, you would think it will have a higher debut.
The new fixture will give the tennis a bit more competition. It will be interesting to see how they both fair.
If they still air it first quarter then it should see a good launch, no reason not to air it first quarter. I know she isn’t a celebrity here but Lady C on the UK version was a stroke of casting genius. I think Australia should consider poaching her for their very own Australian version.
Can’t be a celebrity if people don’t know who it is.
Agree. Her celebrity status was certainly questionable, but if it wasn’t for Laurina’s inclusion the series would have been a snorefest.
###I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Returns In 2017
Julia Morris And Chris Brown Back As Hosts.
On TEN And WIN Network.
Network Ten is thrilled to announce that the hit family entertainment show I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! will return to TEN in 2017 – live from South Africa, five nights a week – for a third season.
Hosts Julia Morris and Chris Brown will travel back to the South African jungle to host the show which boasts heartfelt moments, spectacular challenges and stomach-churning trials.
Julia Morris said: “The thought of returning to Africa for a third season of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is exciting me so much that I am really trying not to wish the rest of this year away.
“My Darling Doctor and I are hanging to return to our luxurious jungle paradise to watch the poor celebrities battle it out with various predators… there may be some animals there too.”
Chris Brown said: “For me, this show is all about pushing celebrities way out of their comfort zone in the knowledge that on the way back we’ll see the most special and unexpected side to them. I can’t wait to see who’ll be the next Marcia Brady [Maureen McCormick], Freddie Flintoff, Chrissie Swan, Barry Hall or Brendan Fevola who surprise us with their endurance, their good humour and their life transformation in one of the harshest environments on earth.
“Speaking of which, being reunited with my co-host Julia Morris both excites and terrifies me. In Africa, I’ve been charged by rhinos, fended off hyenas with Masai warriors and even being leapt at by lions, but nothing is as unpredictable as sharing that treehouse studio with my jungle accomplice, Julia Morris. And I can’t wait to hear those jungle drums calling us back there again in 2017.”
Hopefully they don’t spend all their money on one big celebrity (Shane Warne), & instead have intruders next season.
I’m not a big fan of intruders. The UK dont do it and the show works. I think the issue is the show drags on 2 weeks too long.
I want to make one celebrity idea: Charlotte Crosby. Not that many Australian’s would know who she is but she would provide some great entertainment. She has finished up on Geordie Shore and doesn’t have a lot on. So this could be good for her and might help with her fashion label promotion here in Australia. Might cost the show some $$$ but I think it would be worth it.
Never heard of her.
Interesting suggestion as Charlotte Crosby is on the current season of Celebrity Big Brother UK that started last week.
I’m all for getting more low name stars over a big name like Shane Warne. You compare our I’m a Celeb to the UK one and UK Celeb Big Brother and we are so boring in comparison. Everyone is friendly, happy and wants to be friends here. Get some trashy ex reality stars desperate for fame on there and it will spice it up a bit.
