I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here

[Snaploud]

I just watched the first two episodes on hulu. Yikes. I don't know anything about the british version, but the american version is pretty much complete garbage. It makes me appreciate Mark Burnett (The Apprentice, Survivor, The Apprentice UK) all the more (additional shout-outs to Project Runway and Top Chef, non-Burnett produced shows).

Has anybody else watched this show? Blagojevich's wife is a contestant, so it was at least interesting watching her explain her version of what happened:

Patti Blagojevich opened up on the two-hour episode of "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here," making the former governor out to be a political prisoner or folk hero, as opposed to the more widely held view of him: as a delusional slime with indiscreet phone habits who tried to sell the President's Senate seat.



"My husband is a great man," she explained.

Patti Blagojevich is what they're classifying as a celebrity these days? Yikes...

Janice Dickinson is obviously rotting from the inside out. Just look at her!

On second thought, don't. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies.

Ya, I heard that on the ol' talk radio. Imagine my surprise.

She was put on in her husband's place. The Court wouldn't allow him authorization to leave the United States.

Thought the video they did on her vanity was funny in that same vein:

It's so pathetic that I'm being amused by it immensly...lol.

 

[Kirk's_Tights]

The fact that they had Spencer and Heidi, the most annoying people on the planet, was my first clue not to watch it.

 

[Praetor]

And they called them "Speidi." *vomit*

Creepy flesh beard, indeed.

 

[nx1701g]

I can't honestly bring myself to watch this...

 

[Capt_Piett]

Maybe with copious amounts of booze?

Watched some re-runs on Canada's Much More Music.

I definitely enjoy Lou Diamond Phillips and hope he wins.

Janice Dickinson is the most useless piece of flesh on the planet. I watched two hours of the re-runs and I wanted to kill her in the first ten minutes.

I don't like the show much but I end up watching pieces of it since it seems to be the only thing on TV during primetime right now. It makes Big Brother look like a masterpiece.

I've watched this show a couple of times myself and get annoyed @ Janice Dickenson. Poor girl..without makeup, she looks like an old piece of silicon waiting to explode! I do like Lou Diamond Phillips myself and hope he wins. As for the others, they don't do anything for me.
