Day 11

The camp wakes up - Frankie “hungover” from sleeping rough, Sam with a leech on his bum and blood all over his bedding - a stock cube in the rice didn’t improve matters … :frowning_face:

BTT - In Too Deep - Nigel nervous before the start - the task involved diving for stars in a water tank full of critters (Yabbies, Mudcrabs, Water Spiders, Croc and Snakes) - Nick, a keen swimmer, easily collected 6 but Nigel couldn’t hold his breath and had to call IACGMOOH.

Nigel and Nella on cultural appropriation (again) - why doesn’t he pick her up on why she speaks perfect English to him then goes Jamaican or “rap” with her “buds”?

Frankie spent some time discussing his racing career to a very interested Josie and Tony.

“Deals on Wheels” - Danielle and Fred - attaching a meaning to road signs - completed OK - the question was “How many “duff duff’s” are there at the beginning of Eastenders?” - the campers guessed correctly (9) and got 1 crisp each … :yum:

Dinner arrived - Alpaca Shank - not greatly appreciated.

Sam’s leadership is under fire - Fred pointed out how filthy the camp was because of his lack of control.

JLS exit announced - no real shock shown.

Next BTT - 5 celebs up against nominated critters then another 5.

72 hrs min time in jungle , a top hotel and all that money in their pocket , well worth it to walk . I bet they get 1st class travel too .

Day 12

Sunny … at last … :sunny:

BTT - Barbaric Barber Shop - Fred, Frankie, Josie, Danielle, Marvin with heads in helmets filled with critters (snakes, cockroaches, spiders, rats and snakes (respectively)) and containing parts of stars to be “tongued off” and joined together - Josie freaked almost immediately so she was OUT - the others got the parts of stars but failed to join them all up - 4 out of 10 … :slightly_frowning_face:

So sunny, there were lads in the pool with the inflatable pineapple … :pineapple:

Sam confided that his ADHD was diagnosed only last year - up until then he never knew why he found life “difficult”.

Deals on Wheels - a silly game with phones and ringtones but the Sam and Tony won the dollars, the campers got the question right and the prize was Tim Tams (Australian chocolate biscuits) - which was fortunate really because, when S&T returned, the campers could celebrate Tony’s 41st birthday … :026:

Later - dinner was Backside of Boar - not much of it but Fred stretched it well … :shallow_pan_of_food:

Next BTT - Grim Gutter

87

Poor josie she hung in there longer than i would, oh those huge spiders were awful. I kept telling myself the rats were lab rats and not sewer rats but i think i could have coped with them . Poor Frankie those horrid cockroaches . One snake opened its mouth as if to bite Fred . Its tough out there

Day 13

Sunny

Nella and Josie didn’t clear the dishes and pans from dinner so a rat came in and licked them clean … :rat:

Josie had a Big Weep about missing her son … :icon_cry:

BTT - Grim Gutter - Nick, Tony, Nella, Sam and Nigel locked into cells with critters - the celebs had to pass keys to open locks to release stars - unsurprisingly, Nella soon shrieked GMOOH … all the other celebs except Nigel got 2 stars each - 6/10 … Nella is now a FOUR-TIME loser … :bangbang:

Leadership Change … Nella won with 3 votes (Marvin, Tony and Nick - were they “persuaded”?) - Danielle selected as deputy

Immediately, Nella showed her nasty side - she wants to “get back” at the men for criticising her, especially Fred and “Farage”, who were assigned as washer-uppers, Sam and Nick got the dunny, Frankie and Marvin got maintenance.

Nella’s best mate, Josie became cook with Tony as her help.

Thinking about her remarks and cultural appropriation, it was ironic to see Nella adopt cultural reversion and became a third-world dictator, intent on payback from her enemies - IMO, she’s a really NPOW … :face_with_monocle:

There was a game involving screams for treats but I skipped that - everybody but Nella, Marvin and, I think, Nick, got some sort of food treat.

Dinner was Spatchcock - Tony is no cook and Josie can barely cook - Fred offered advice but the end result was fowl with mushy rice … :grimacing:

Next BTT - Eaten Alive - Underground - Nella exempt (surprise, surprise … :roll_eyes:) - Tony to go solo.

Nella’s BTT record is now appalling - 4 GMOOH, 3 exemptions, 1 easy-peasy (Sam did all the work), 1 x 0 (she let Frankie down) and 1 “medical appointment” … plus, as a camper, she’s remiss in her “duties”, and, as camp leader, she now doesn’t have any “duties” … yet, to a large extent, she seems to be camp “favourite” … :disguised_face:

89

I’m not sure when the first elimination vote will take place (because 2 celebs have already departed) but here are the current odds:

If Nella goes then that should remind her of what she said about giving Fred the washing-up - ‘Karma is a bitch’ - it’s come back to bite her … :smirk:

Day 14

A lovely sunny day in camp - Josie’s breakfast rice passes muster, much to Fred’s chagrin … :rice:

BTT - Eaten Alive - Tony had to pass through a snake’s digestive “chambers” and collect stars - his “obstacles” included rotten fruit and veg, snakes, offal, spiders, green ants and rats … :rat: … 9 out of 10 … :026:

Most of the camp sunbathed but Nella dozed in the bus … :zzz:

Deals on Wheels - Josie and Frankie - Wendy Houses and coloured bricks - Question answered correctly - Crumpets and butter … :pancakes:

Dinner - Eel - Fred offered advice but Josie just bunged everything in one pot and everyone (but Fred) thought it was wonderful … :shallow_pan_of_food:

Next BTT - Fright at the Museum - Nella … GMOOH?

The vote to keep has started - the elimination will be tonight.

Ive watched every series since it began, the last couple of series i thought were dull and repetitive with boring contestants, bar a couple. This year i switched it off during the second episode. The show is tired and needs axing. Ant and Dec need to wake up and come back with something new as theyre indanger of becoming just as dull and predictable. They seem to of lost their oomph.

Day 15

Sunny

Another Fred v Nigel Brexit spat … :roll_eyes:

Campers criticise for Sam not pulling his weight and fetching water … :bucket:

BTT - Fright at The Museum - Nella - Cases of “exhibits” containing stars and critters - Nella had to search and extract the stars in the dark … Now call me Mr Cynical but, suddenly, Nella starts chanting mantras to help her stay calm - this, of course would have nothing to do with her previous panics and a convenient “medical emergency” … :disguised_face: - surprise, surprise, she gets 9 out of 10 stars … :astonished:

Meanwhile, the campers are sunbathing … :bikini: :briefs: :sunglasses:

Letters from Home time so a ball-balancing/transfer game to play - 10 letters won.

Dinner - Wallaby Sausage (looking good … :016:) - Fred interfering again but he had the grace to admit that Josie did a good job … :yum:

Letters arrived and read - I skipped that.

Elimination

Nella v Frankie - Frankie OUT … :exclamation:

No real surprise, although I would have preferred Nella’s departure - still, there will be other chances, there may be a new camp leader … and she will still be eligible for trials … :thinking:

95

Im sorry but i skipped the tearful letters bit . I can understand the girls missing their babys and of course the dads but they’ve only been apart say 3 weeks . I dont see my family for months on end and i dont cry !

Good ole josie shes cooking up some good food .

I still like Sam he spreads the love

I would love to see one of the contestants hug Ant and Dec and cover them in stinking mess or bugs. I thought Fred might tonight. Ant and Dec are so smug and spotlessly clean. I would love to see their faces if they got a blob of something nasty on their faces

Day 16

Sunny

Josie’s breakfast rice is, apparently, edible … :no_mouth:

BTT - Celebrity Distressing Room - Fred insisted on volunteering - 5 rooms with 9 hidden stars and various critters - IMO, a lot of items to shift in the time, even for fit Fred but he got 7/9 … :clap:

Josie’s bean fritter lunch turned into oily bean stew, which the campers described as “different” … :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

Tony spent some time talking about boxing - his head’s been hit over 1,000,000 times … :astonished:

Nella and Sam had some fun “auditioning” for JLS … :roll_eyes:

Dinner - Kangaroo Tails - Fred advised braising but Josie decided to stew it for a couple of hours while the campers starved … :stew:

Elimination - Nella v Marvin - Nella OUT … :026: … “Karma is a bitch” … :laughing:

I skipped the interview … I hope that I never see the NPOW ever again … :expressionless:

ITV viewers were left perplexed on Tuesday morning after Nella Rose pulled out of her first interview since leaving I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! The social media influencer, 26, was the second campmate to leave the jungle after winning the least amount of public votes, but her subsequent interview on breakfast show Lorraine was later cancelled without explanation.

Typically, contestants will be interviewed remotely by the Scottish presenter after leaving the jungle camp, with first evictee Frankie Dettori featuring on Monday’s show. But Nella opted out of the pre-arranged live appearance to give herself time to ‘rest and recover’, leaving producers in an eleventh hour scramble to fill her slot.

While celebrities are normally greeted by their loved ones when they cross the bridge out of the jungle, Nella was not met by anyone on Monday evening. She has since reunited with her brother, who jetted to Australia to be beside her after she became the second campmate voted out the jungle.

I’m surprised at Nella turning down “showtime” … :astonished:

Day 17

Sunny

Nella out but (most of) the campers) love her … :man_shrugging:

In camp, Sam and Marvin improvised a “cop-buddy” movie so well that Josie demanded to be included … :071:

BTT - “Fly on the Wall” - Fred insisted on doing another and joined Marvin dressed as flies on a wall, suspended over a lake, trying to prise off half-stars - not the easiest of tasks, standing on a very slippery ledge - both ended up in the lake a couple of times but managed to get 5 out of 8 stars … :clap:

With the “Leader” gone, Danielle took over and appointed Josie as Deputy - Sam and Nick became cooks, Fred was (almost inevitably) assigned dunny duty … :roll_eyes:

Sam and Josie were assigned a “Secret Mission”, involving lying to the other campers, in order to gain entrance to the Jungle Arms for all the campers - Tony was roped in, too - Mission Accomplished … :disguised_face:

Dinner - Emu Rump - cooked to Fred’s satisfaction by Sam … :shallow_pan_of_food:

The Jungle Arms - Beer, Pizza, Crisps and Karaoke … :hear_no_evil:

The Elimination - Fred v Danielle - Fred OUT … :exclamation:

Hoping Danielle goes out tonight. She does very little apart from tittle tattle and have her totally out of proportion implants sticking out of her bird like frame.

Danielle attracted a tick on the back in the bus - she was petrified … :scream_cat:

Nick had the runs - rushed past Josie to get in the dunny and let a big one drop , much to her amusement … :rofl:

BTT - The Critter Mixer - Sort of cement mixer truck with a cage on the back - Tony drove and answered questions under an onslaught of repellent gunge - Marvin and Nick were strapped in the back and retrieved stars while under an avalanche of critters - 6/7 … :clap:

Deals on Wheels - Josie and Nigel had to sort animal lilos, the campers answered the question correctly - a chocolate biscuit for each was won … :+1:

Tony, Josie and Nigel had a surprisingly polite discussion on Brexit - polite mainly because T & J knew very little about it … :slightly_smiling_face:

Dinner - Possum - Fried by Sam - Edible … :shallow_pan_of_food:

Elimination - Nick v Josie - Nick OUT … :exclamation:

I watched his interview - he’d done more than I remembered and was pleasant to listen to … :slightly_smiling_face:
