I'm A Celebrity 2019

I liked Adele too :slight_smile: a really nice person slow to argue or grumble, better Ian or Andrew to go they seem to grumble the most .

Day 14 – a frosty atmosphere, constructive criticism and Cliff’s tips

BTT - Under Critical Construction

The trial itself was a pretty tame affair – Myles had to crawl through a series of cages filled with critters, unscrewing stars as he went using different tools sent over via a pulley system by builder’s mate Cliff while the duo communicated using walkie talkies. Roger that. Over. They got eight of eleven stars which meant enough food to go round.

Much more stressful was the process of actually deciding who would do the task in the first place, with James getting riled by the fact that Cliff had volunteered when he felt that names should be drawn from a hat so that everyone got an equal chance.

And it was not the only James-centred argument of the day…

Things get frosty after the Dingo Dollar Challenge

Roman and Jacqueline made a good job of the Dingo Dollar Challenge, which involved making cocktails at a jungle tiki bar.

The real challenge came when it was time for their campmates to answer the $100 Dingo Dollar question, with James objecting to Kate’s approach of actually thinking about it and instead demanding an instant vote. He branded the situation “a circus of stupidity”, while Andrew M branded him “a maniac”.

“I’m not suggesting anything about anything ever again,” swore James. We’ll see about that…

To be fair though, the democratic process did see the campmates vote for the correct answer, and with a choice of lemonade or ice pops as a prize, Roman and Jacqueline played it cool. But unaware of the frostiness between the celebs, they were slightly puzzled as to why there wasn’t more excitement about the frozen treats.

Driving tips crazy

Today’s debating point was the politics of tipping – when to do it, who to and how much. Caitlyn impressed by revealing that she occasionally slips her regular waitress $100 – but EastEnder Cliff trumped that by casually mentioning that each year he gives his driver “a nice present like a holiday or something like that.” Who knew a job on Albert Square was so lucrative?

Rice fried egg

The eight-star gift from above was emu eggs, which Ian and Kate turned into egg fried rice (or, given the size of the eggs, maybe that should be rice fried egg).

Ian will be facing the next Bushtucker Trial, a challenge called Hellevator - suffice it to say, the former Arsenal man was not happy …

I thought Jacqueline was too quick to rule herself out of the BTT … :102:

To be fair to James, on the one hand, I think the lack of food has got to him but, on the other hand, his over-reactions were appallingly patronising … :shock:

The “frostiness” in camp was, as far as I recall, the first of its’ kind … :107:

The meal seemed to be singularly lacking in the vegetables which have characterised other meals and looked like rice pudding… :090:

Not a great day for the campers … and Ian’s foul language response to being nominated for the BTT reinforced the indications that some celebs are at breaking point … :103:

Day 15 – Stormy Ian, stormy weather and another campmate bids farewell

Ian returns for yet another Bushtucker Trial

He faced the ominous Hell-Evator, being sent in a rickety looking lift to fetch stars from three different rooms. The first room was home to several pythons and he was tasked with collecting three stars in three minutes - he got two. Next there was the control room, where he had to obtain four stars in as many minutes – amidst, rats, spiders and toads – he got three. The most disgusting room of all followed – the toilet, in which Ian was also given four minutes to collect stars from a bath containing a giant crocodile, a sink containing crabs and a toilet which was home to a yabbie - he got two. With Ian struggling to untie the knots, Ian took seven stars from the Trial – he clearly wasn’t happy with himself - back at camp he told Andrew that he was fed up of doing trials – and that he didn’t want to do one again.

There were an awful lot of knots for Ian to untie … :!:

Things get stormy

The jungle is a fairly inhospitable environment at the best of times – so the last thing the campmates needed was a horrendous storm.

Having already witnessed heavy rainfall all night, what followed for the campmates was even worse – according to Ant and Dec it was actually the worst storm in the area since 1997! The thunder was so loud and ominous that James said it reminded him of Jurassic Park. The campmates dealt with the torrential downpour as best they could – but it clearly wasn’t an ideal situation, with Nadine, Kate and Jacqueline all screaming as they ran for shelter.

The “storm” seemed more like shower … :102:

Time to say goodybe

This time it was Andrew Maxwell, after appearing in the bottom two with Kate. He survived 16 days in Camp. He also looked back on his spat with Ian Wright – claiming that there were no hard feelings over their many disagreements.

In two minutes, I won’t remember who Andrew Maxwell was … :069:

I didn’t think Kate deserved to be at the bottom - that should be Jacqueline who is increasingly coming across as a “selfish little madam”… :019:

James did nothing to redeem himself last night - his arrogance may well be his downfall tonight … :wink:

Bikini pics - for those interested in such things:

Not in Myleene’s class, though … :009:

andrew saying “I love Ian” eh, why would you love someone who was a pratt to you whilst in there.

Ian is such a morngy, bad loser, I don’t think I would want to live with him in there. They were all worrying what kind of mood he would come back in after the trial. That’s speaks volumes of what kind of person he is.

James is a control freak, I wonder if he controls his wife Chloe, I hope she doesn’t let him if he does try.

Kate & Andy still my favourites. Get Jacqueline, Caitlyn, James or Ian out next.

I agree with all you say Queenie.

Apart from Ians’s foul moods, I couldn’t do with him keep sticking his nose in if I was cooking either.

I liked James, but am rapidly going off him and his ways now.
As you say, Kate and Andy seem the most level headed and stable.

I too liked him at first but the longer he’s been in the more I’m not really liking him. My work colleague said exactly the same this morning about how she’s going off him.

IIRC, one of the campmates said something along the lines of “It’s James’ way or no way” … :!:

What about Caitlyn?

It was between Caitlyn and Cliff tonight, Foxy.

Cliff lost (or won, depends on how we look at it). :slight_smile:

Thanks Mups, I was building my hopes up there when I thought it was going to be the imposter who got the marching orders…But it turned out to be Cliff, who I quite liked…:frowning:

Yes, he seemed an amiable sort of chap, didn’t he.

Day 16 — Goo, a New Leader and Third Celeb Exit

Nadine has an ‘offal’ time in the Bushtucker Trial

After the jungle residents put their named water bottles into a bag (everyone’s apart from Cliff, Ian and Myles’, who all recently completed challenges), it was Nadine who was selected.

The challenge was called ‘Movile Home’ — a campervan divided into sections and loaded with ten stars hidden inside. Nadine struggled against the clock to find the stars — while also battling cascades of green goo, buckets of fish guts and offal dropped on her, and a number of critters including crabs, mealworms and green ants. In the end, she managed to bag a total of ten stars.

Nadine did very well - she has nimble fingers and a ready wit … :wink:

Unclaimed Baggage challenge spells disappointment

Andy and Caitlyn both headed to the Dingo Dollar Challenge area, where they found a pile of returned luggage, which they had to match to the right destination label.s for us.”

They eventually managed to complete the task, but when it came to their visit to Kiosk Kev, the jungle residents back at camp gave the wrong answer to Kev’s question — missing out on jam and scones.

Not bovvered, really … :069:

Who is the new I’m A Celeb camp leader?

The time came for a new camp leader to be announced. After Kate got the majority votes, she asked Ian to be her deputy.

Kate’s pleased but Ian will fing something to complain about … :roll:

A third campmate left the jungle

Cliff Parisi ended up in the bottom two with Caitlyn and was voted out by the viewers.

Caitlyn doesn’t seem to be doing much for £500,000 … :015:

I think Nadines trial was quite easy compared to some I’ve seen. She did great with the knots because she’s got little, dainty, nimble fingers. I was pleased she got all the stars. I like Nadine.

I reckon Kate chose Ian to be her deputy to keep him sweet and happy. He’s such a miserable, moody toe rag.

I was surprised Cliff went so early, he’s a nice chap. He did look happy to be leaving though.

Caitlyn? Who’s Caitlyn? She’s done naff all really. Get her out tonight please.

Roman is a very personable young man and will definitely be in the top 3 … :023:

Day 17 — Faceball, Jungle Panto, Karaoke and Fourth Celeb Exit

BTT - Celebrities Assemble!

Today’s trial saw Kate and Andy become costumed super-heroes Captain Australia and Cockroach Man, tasked with making their way along an obstacle course high up in the air to collect eight giant-sized stars and rescue “damsel in distress” Jacqueline, who was trapped in a glass box filled with jungle critters.

The pair had to overcome green ants, hit a target with a boomerang, climb a tower and – of course – untie lots of fiddly knots, but were eventually able to cross the course and hit a buzzer which released Jacqueline, dropping her 100 feet to the ground. (A moment so epic/funny, the show played it back three times.) The trio’s efforts saw them secure all nine possible stars – and an octopus dinner – for camp.

Not a particularly difficult, or entertaining, task but worth watching for Jacqueline’s “drop” … :005:

Faceball – and the sequel… Nutball

With Caitlyn making a ball from plasters and dental floss, the boys devised a new game - Faceball. It’s exactly what it sounds like, with Roman, James and Myles scoring points by hitting each other in the face with a ball. The game was later tweaked to become Nutball – which, again, is exactly what it sounds like.

The boys are bored … :069:

Everybody Hates Christmas

The latest Dingo Dollar Challenge ended in disaster. Though Ian and James were eventually able to complete their task – ticking off a Christmas list by correctly identifying what was hidden inside a selection of wrapped gifts – the camp plumped for the wrong answer when asked what percentage of adults think Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. The correct answer was if A – 34 per cent, not B – 54 per cent, which set off Christmas-loving Andy.

If you’re a wealthy celeb then Xmas may well be wonderful … :roll:

The Jungle Panto – Critterella

Later that night, the campmates were provided with props and costumes to stage their very own Jungle Panto – ‘Critterella’, incorporating jungle critters, electric shocks and stomach-churning “magical potions”. Nadine played the title role, Caitlyn was the Fairy God-Mother, James and Andy were the Ugly Sisters, Jacqueline was the kangaroo transport to the ball and Myles and Ian were handsome princes Ant and Dec. Kate was the panto’s narrator and Roman played…erm… Paddy McGuinness.

Kate’s “shocks” made me laugh … :lol:

The Jungle Arms

Having nailed the panto, the campmates were granted entry to The Jungle Arms and were rewarded with drinks, chips and a karaoke session. Highlights included Andy’s enthusiastic cover of ‘Mr Brightside’, Kate and Jacqueline singing Girl’s Aloud ‘Sound of the Underground’ with an encouraging Nadine as their “pushy mum” and Roman forgetting the words to ‘Gold’ by his dad Martin’s band Spandau Ballet.

Just … dreadful … but the campmates enjoyed themselves … :grouphug:

James’s jungle reign umplodes

James found himself in the bottom two with Ian and was eventually ousted from the jungle.
