I am just watching Im a Celebrity. What do you think of it this time? I think the best part is Ant and Dec. I have never heard of most of the people in there but I do think it is funny.

I've only heard of 4 of them - Jason Donovan, Matt Willis, Mylene Klass and Toby Anstis. Ant and Dec are definitely the best bit! I hardly watch it.

It's the worst kind of television. Drivel. It's tabloid programming of the lowest denominator. I'd rather watch my wife cut her toenails and then eat what she dropped on the carpet...

Does anybody else find the use or rather abuse of insects and fish offensive in programmes of this sort? I know that I do. It is the worst sort of entertainment on TV and I cannot imagine why anyone would want to watch it, or other programmes like it.

yes, I find that offensive.
I always remember seeing (aargh I forget his name) - (ed Llewellyn-Bowen) in changing rooms brush aside a spider and not caring that he'd injured it. Not good enough, and sets a really bad example. My son was appalled, I'm glad to say.

I think the best part is when the end credits roll up.

It should be renamed "Im An Old Hasbeen that Nobody's Heard of For YEARS But I'm Now Short Of Money And Despearate For The Publicity".
Why put "Celebrity" in the title when they clearly aren't?

I have only ever watched about 3 minutes of it, and the inevitable publicity footage of course which can't be avoided. Dreadful drivel in my opinion. Sorry, anyone who likes it.

Tripe and onions was a very popular dish years ago. Our gardener used to have it for supper at least twice a week. Being a veggie though I have never tried it.

No the white stuff you can eat with vinegar (or cooked with onions)

I'm stuck at home with a stiff neck (aaarrrgh) so thought I'd have a look in here.
Well sorry to disagree with you folks but I absolutely LOVE it!!! My partner and me watch it every time and he normally hates reality shows. I HATE Big Brother by the way.
What I/we love about Jungle is the way you see people you may already have ideas about stripped down to their essentials plus the way they relate to each other without all the normal props of fame/celebrity/whatever. It's fascinating in an anthropological way too, watching how alliances form and how group dynamics develop. I also think it's great how the all-round nicest people always win and they're not always the people you expect (to be the nicest). Carol Thatcher was great fun to watch last year, as was Paul Burrell before that, and Tamara PT way back in the beginning.

It's more of an idea that half of the people on the prog think they want to be famous although as we can see nobody's heard of half of them.
There are better ways of making bids for popularity than being covered by poor, unsuspecting insects!
As you can probably see, I HATE this programme (although can sort of see the addictiveness) and thik that Ant and Dec need their heads examined...
