Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

I beleve you were talking about Stephen Baldwin, not Daniel.

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

It was Daniel. Stephen has no personality.

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

I don't watch the show, but I haven't read about him being there. Why would he be there with his brother?

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

Didn't the FOGNL network (South Park episode) have a program called "Get Me Outta Here, I'm a Klingnanian!"?

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

Well, they actually had a few "pairs" on the show, including comedians Frances and Angela (Frangela), Heidi and Holly Montag (sisters), and the Baldwins...however, Holly and Daniel came after Spencer and Heidi initially quit. Does that make sense?

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

No, not really. And I won't find out. I'm so tired of these TV shows.

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

If it doesn't get any more interesting next week, I am out of here!

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

I really didn't think this show would recover from the second (and apparently final) exit of Speidi, since no one else was doing anything (case in point -- the TUes to Thurs shows in week one were abysmally boring). And then someting happened -- either she took crazy pills or came off her sane pills, or she was given a script by the producers -- but whatever it was, Janice finally took over the show like everyone thought she would. The appearance of Daniel Baldwin and his ability to poke at the sleeping bear that was Janice Dickenson may have been another catalyst -- whatever it was, Janice has now become the bedside pissing, granola stealing, "say No to Prop 8" shouting, "brush with fame shaggy dog story" relating, bitch face flashing, fecally blocked up crazy-ass, narcissistic bitch that was slumbering for far too long. The producers won't need Speidi to come back now that Janice has taken over the show. It's now become more or less addictive, a mixture of comedy, emotional discomfort, and the feeling in the back of your head that it's all staged.

Still, there are parts of the show that make me yell at the TV -- like the complete and total lack of rules. I don't even know how this shit is supposed to end -- they've voted off exactly two people in two weeks -- meanwhile, they added two cast members. How are we getting down to the finals, exactly, when there are only 6 shows to go? More people (3) quit than were voted out so far. Then there was that leader challenge that no one completed because no one ate all the food. The hosts didn't know what to do until someone yelled for Lou Diaomond Phillips to retain his leader role. The host guy shrugged and said it was so. So let me get this straight -- the hosts are arbitrarily making up rules to the game as they go along? And I find it hilarious when any contestant talks about "playing the game". You need rules for a game -- you need rules if you want to strategize. With the exception of Janice and Daniel, they don't even want to each other voted out -- it's like they think this is Survivor, but it is only cosmetically so -- there isn't any structure to the game, so there is no "strategy" to be had. Plus, it's all about audience votes, so they're really at the mercy of the editing. Wait a minute -- isn't this all rigged anyway?

The show is running at a pretty high level now (well, considering it total junk), and I don't even know how Joel McHale picks the few pieces to lampoon on The Soup considering the volume of material to poke fun of. That said, if there was anything else to watch, this show would get the hook pretty quick. So on that note, it's been pretty savvy programming on NBC's part. Oh my gosh -- did I really just use "savvy" and "NBC" in the same sentence? The world is upside down!

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

I think I'm the only one watching at this point, as Eric may have bailed. We're getting more posters in this thread who haven't watched the show than have watched it.

In the "well, it was nice while it lasted" front, Janice took a dump and the whole show went to shit. It appears that her inability to poop fueled her anti-social beahvior, and now that she was able to express her bowels, she no longer needs to express herself. Last night's episode had more kumbaya moments that the entire season combined -- if it weren't for Sanjaya's pretzel logic moment regarding his sexual orientation, the epsiode would have nothing to show for itself.

John Salley was given the opportunity to bestow immunity on any of the castmates including himself. That anyone was surprised that he took it in a heartbeat is severly moronic. The hosts nattered on about it like it was somehow shocking, which proves how clueless they are.

Speaking of which, what is the point of having two hosts? Most of their job is to come back from break with a macro explanation of how the game works. This show is on 4 days a week, and yet they take the time to state that they are in the jungle and that someone will be crowned king or queen of the jungle based on audience votes after every single commercial break. Talk about unnecessary filler.

BTW, five shows left and I still do not see any semblance of a "game" or strategy. Salley's taking immunity was more strategy than the contestants have ever exhibited, and that was a no-brainer.

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

I've been watching this fiasco (thank god for FF and 30 sec. skipping on the PVR).

During each show, I keep exclaiming, "There's no show in this show!"

It's all like a big con to gather together some celebrities and just film them sitting around together chatting amongst themselves. I can't imagine how the smarter celebrities feel having been duped into this "show". It must be torture to them to know that there is nothing to do but play along with this farse.

It's ridiculous that the "teams" don't even go to witness the challenges and have to have the event described to them afterwards by the solo participants upon their return to camp.

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

Is Peter Griffin running the show?

"Don’t worry, I got an idea. An idea so smart, my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about!"

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

I watched a few episodes, and for some reason Janice Dickinson made me think of Janice the Muppet.

Re: I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!!

We're in the homestretch now -- if there were an actual "game", that is. It's kind of annoying to listen to all the contestants constatly refer to "the game" and how "it's on now" and "it's really getting intense" considering THERE IS NO F*CKING GAME! Mind boggling.

With Janice out and the incessant chatter about the non-existant game, you'd think the show would totally suck at this point. I guess I'm in the first stages of Helsinki Syndrome now, as I am deriving entertainment from just watching the celebs putter around because I've grown so familiar with them. It's all over tomorrow, which is good because that's about as long as the spell would last.

I won't make any predictions because the contest part is so slipshoddily run that I can't even imagine what will transpire with the voting. It's really, really, really mismanaged.

I sometimes giggle at the celebs who overstate both their level of celebrity and their ability to influence people, but the remaining contestants have been good sports about the show and I will begrudge them their lapses into self-aggrandizement.

Too bad Holly came back only to leave again -- she's cute in that Chelsea Clinton kind of way -- slightly gawky, but appealingly nice. I didn't think there was a chance in hell I would even remotely like Holly considering her mega-low wattage level of celebrity (a guest star on a reality show on MTV? That strains the definition of celebrity), but I ended up liking her despite it all.

Two go home tonight based on last night's votes, and tonight's final voting is between three contestants. By God, they don't even have a regular voting night. I tell ya, it's the most incompetently produced show on TV.
