Topic: I'm a “celebrity”

[Crosby Nick]

Not harsh enough to be honest.  It was all a bit cringy from a few of them.  Notably the Eastenders girl.   

Must admit I like Ruthie Henshall and Russ already.  Ruthie especially seems like really good fun.

I never knew Russell Watson was like he is.  A hulking great Northerner who just seems like your average bloke in the pub.

Ruthie. Weird name but makes her infinitely more glamorous than plain old Ruth. Proper showbiz.

I only know Russel Watson from buying the odd CD of his for my mum for Christmas back in the day. He did a bizarre duets album that included him and Shaun Ryder doing Barcelona. Absolutely mental.

[Elzar]

I have disliked Russell Watson for ages, something to do with him being a manc and he possible said something I disagreed with 10 years ago.

More than fair. He’s definitely a United fan isn’t he?

[Buck Pete]

Yeah he is a big Utd fan. Mmmh this changes things.  Knew he was from Irlam/Cadishead which is classed as Salford and not far from Warrington really.

Anyhow I now hate Russell Watson the goddam karaoke crooner.

Aside from his shit footy allegiances you cant argue he got famous the easy way.  Shitty jobs and working men's clubs gigs etc before getting his break.

Back to I'm a celebrity.  They are a huggy/screechy/teary/emotional bunch this year.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Can anyone confirm/deny that AJ Pritchard is on there with the rest of them?

[liverbloke]

now he's got his hair gel  we might see more/less of him

I want him covered in shit with spiders and cockroaches - nothing to do with i'm a celeb, just in general

Jordan to win

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Yep. Have always disliked him for that reason.

Shane Richie more likeable, for a Manc c*nt.

[Buck Pete]

I'm gonna throw this out there and have a virtual bet with you.  The producers will tell AJ to get involved.  Thus, we will see:

AJ teaching a celebrity how to dance a Tango or a Waltz or something.  Probably Victoria Derbyshire.

It will happen Sunday night at the latest.

That's some fetish you have there mate. 

Regarding Jordan, I'd never heard of him before, but he seems a nice fella and good value if he eventually wins.

Same. Never heard of him, not sure when I last listened to Radio 1 but seems a good egg. Pleased for him to get 12 stars all on his own.

[sinnermichael]

Live trial tonight.

[AnfieldIron]

Live trial tonight.

They defo had a word and made sure the one with the stump didn’t get one of them challenges when you had to spin the wheel off the screw. In fact - I reckon they dunking challenge was made specifically.

[Yosser0_0]

The RAWK misery thread.

Now I never knew he was a Manc which makes this weird as I've always disliked him singing "you'll never walk alone".

Generally I don't mind hearing non football people singing it but it always grates when I hear him sing it.

[liverbloke]

is it in AJ's contract to NOT get his hair messed up?

and is he the most boring person on telly?

still Jordan to win but Liz from Corrie is also a contender but also a tad boring and too nice

stick Ritchie, Kay and Watson in a pit (with Manc and Greggs) and make them torture each other with their self-indulgent love for themselves - the amount of sick produced will soon drown them all

other than that i'm enjoying the show 

[Buck Pete]

stick Ritchie, Kay and Watson in a pit (with Manc and Greggs)

Which one is Greggs?  Greggs MBE?

[liverbloke]

Which one is Greggs?  Greggs MBE?

the smaller one

[Buck Pete]

the smaller one

Ah... that Greggs. 

Just read her Wiki page. Almost threw up reading some of the shit on there. Stealing a living is an understatement.

I suppose it keeps Mcfly and her hubby relevant for yet another few more months.  They really are the turd that simply won't flush.  If there was a nuclear holocaust then cockroaches will be fighting Mcfly for any scraps of food.

[Trada]

really a highlight show on a Saturday night

Close. Charleston. Monday

[Buck Pete]

Close. Charleston. Monday

haha didn't watch it.

Was it with Derbyshire?

[liverbloke]

it was with Jessica Plummer and I think Giovanna Fletcher

anyhoo, AJ's hair still didn't get dirty in that task - there's definitely something in his contract I'm certain

but I won't pull my own hair out getting obsessed with it -  for now

edited to say that it could have been Victoria thinking about it...flippin eck my memory...

[The G in Gerrard]

It was Giovanna & Jessica.

Highlight of yesterday was Shane asking Jordan (least I think it was yesterday or Sunday) when he said do you want to be kissed by a legend

[Lad]

Shane...what a twat.

[Red Viper]

That trial last night was hilarious. Fair play to them for getting all 12 stars.

[Son of Spion]

Shane...what a twat.

What's he done? I missed it last night.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Surprised to see Bev in the bottom two - I thought she would have been one of the favourites.

I would have liked to have seen how those treats were dished out in full last night. Surely the people with the young children at home deserved to be fairly high on that list? Really felt for Giovanna.

It's harsh on those who don't have kids, of course. But priorities. Bev, Ruthie - they must have grown up kids too. Did they really need it? Ruthie should have known she was next out and stood aside. Russell was a late entry too, he probably had contact with his family more recently than the OGs.

A bit baffling how they came to those decisions.

[Elzar]

The trial was terrible too.

A crow?

At the beginning they probably thought they’d all get one. And it looked like each individual got to choose for someone else? Maybe they just didn’t plan it or discuss but I’m sure she’ll get over it.

I was saying to my wife what would we put as the treat. For her I said either Scampi Fries or rhubarb and custards. For me, absolutely anything. And instead of the heartfelt messages read out last night it would be something like “Don’t eat them all at once you fat fuck”.

Who will be next to go, Russell and AJ I think?

[jediwarrior]

This is getting like the Victoria Derbyshire show now. Always her on screen, always her getting in the middle of every conversation as well.. Trouble is she is so boring and think she must of just completed the boring trial ever.

[The G in Gerrard]

She's so SLOW. Was very frustrating.

[Red Viper]

The trial was rubbish. Only thing that made it entertaining was how slow she was doing it

I always thought it was lowest person with votes and any other rather than lowest 2?

[Gerry Attrick]

Been boring as hell this year. It's only redeeming feature is Shane Richie. I hate that Jordan but I know he's going to win.

Why do you hate Jordan?

Can't call top 3. Will be 3 of Shane, Giovanna, Vernon & Jordan? Shane or Giovanna to win.

[Gerry Attrick]

I find him unbelievably annoying. Can't bear to listen to him speak.

[Crosby Nick]

I find him unbelievably annoying. Can't bear to listen to him speak.

I had never heard of him before this but I quite like him. Only judging off what I’ve seen on the show but I like Vernon too, seems to come across as a good bloke.

I don’t quite know why because she seems to be very nice and well liked by all which normally says a lot but I find Giovanna slightly annoying.

[Gerry Attrick]

Yeah, Vernon has done his reputation no harm. Comes out with a decent line every so often too. 'G' is alright, but a bit bland.

[Red Viper]

I don't mind Jordan. Seems like a decent, down to earth lad.

It's been a tad boring this year which is probably down to the celebs pretty much all being middle aged, family oriented people, but give me that over the overly dramatic, bitchy antics you get on other reality shows filled with dickheads in their 20s

[Crosby Nick]

I don't mind Jordan. Seems like a decent, down to earth lad.

It was quite nice listening to him say the happiest moment of his life was seeing Burnley beat Man United in their first home game in the Premier League! Robbie Blake screamer I think?
