Z list celebrities in a jungle... unbelievable it's a 6th series, can this really survive another year!! I know I won't be watching! Laughing


Yet nearly 10 million other people will. Yes, why is it still around? Confused


How do you know this series wont flop?


Ok, so I'm assuming, but the show has always attracted high ratings. Why would it be any different this year? It benefits from being on or a short period of time so it won't suffer like BB by running out of steam after a few weeks.

I wont be watching. I got sick of this a few years ago, its a tired format now. I think Survivor was better as they were ordinary people and we didnt have to vote every day.



Ditto!

I do agree with you - however thats part of the problem with ITV. They know these programmes like soaps and Im a Celeb will probabaly get high ratings so make so many of them. Its lazy.

It makes sense. Maybe not having Corrie and Emmerdale on five to six tiems a week, but making a show like I'm A Celebrity. If it can bring in 10 million viewers who the hell is going to axe it?

I would say the same thing about Big Brother

Can we have the same thing as when BB is on air, once the series starts, only people actually watching it, are allowed to comment

Im not saying they should axe it. But why extend its run, 2 weeks is plenty.

And this applies to Big Brother as well, they should have no more than 9 or 10 weeks run for the main show and 2 weeks for the celeb version.

It's been three weeks for a few series now. As far as I'm aware, the show hasn't been extended this year.

Since it appears nobody else bothered, I thought I would give everyone the full line up:

TOBY ANSTIS - Heart FM DJ and TV presenter
LAUREN BOOTH - Journalist, ex-model and Tony Blair's sister in law
FAITH BROWN - Comedienne and impersonator
JASON DONOVAN - Actor and Singer
DAVID GEST - Music producer and famous ex-husband of Liza Minnelli
SCOTT HENSHALL - Fashion Designer
MYLEENE KLASS - Musician and TV Presenter
JAN LEMMING - Ex Newsreader
PHINA ORUCHE - Footballers Wives and The Bill actress
MATT WILLIS - Solo singer and former member of boyband Busted .

So there you have it - another 10 people with failing careers once again attempting to have their reputations get one last kick up the backside, doing them absolutely no favours at all. Great.

I must say when she used to do the News, I never noticed her green hair and high-pitched voice.
