My boyfriend and several of my bloke mates have started watching I'm a celeb get me out of here purely because Jordon is on it! I was just wondering if any of you guys are too? Its an out of interest thing really, are ITV genious for getting her on it for a pure ratings winner and aiming to get people sucked in so they continue to watch if she gets booted out?

I watched it last night and thought it was funny, I watched the other series too. I thought last nights show was pretty biased as they didn't even feature some of the other characters much.

What are your thoughts?

Silly poll but thought it'd be a laugh!

No.

I hate reality TV with a passion and refuse to watch it, unless it was Holly Valance related porn.... ;)

I've gotta agree with Rich's post above.


Actually, substitute Holly Valance for Sophie Ellis Bextor.

I watched it but I would have anyway. I think I would enjoy it more if Jordan wasn't on it though to be honest, I can't stand the woman.

I've watched about 20 minutes of it across 2 nights (that's about all I can stand). That Johnny Rotten guy is really annoying me though - I've never seen such an attention seeker. Nothing about him seems genuine, he's just failing miserably to keep up his "hell raiser" reputation. Grow up and show us your real self!

Yeah exactly, I wish he would act like Mr. Lydon and not lamely try to recreate the days of Johnny Rotten.

Thirded...!

I don't think the show's much good tho' - all they do is whinge about how uncomfortable or hungry they are. That's it. They're all f-ing useless at everything... I was hoping that Lydon might, at least, kill peter andre, but no such luck.

Oh my god. Is Peter Andre on it?
Not heard of him since I stopped going to Silver Blades in about 1997

Barrel Scraping or what...

Sophie Ellis Bextor - you all mad or what???!

Seen a bit of it but I would have anyway - personally think Jordan is butt ugly but to her credit she seems to have come across ok so far in the program.

Yeah that's true - she's not come across as thick as I would've expected, and seems one of the more down-to-earth of the contestants. Odd, that. Wouldn't have put money on her coming across well at all...

people have been saying this could make or break her. I guess its her chance to show the real Katie Price, not the drunken images that the press print.

As for Kerry, my goodness, what a moaning silly one she is! She has totally made herself look stupid and pathetic!

Loved the comments Jordon came out with to Peter (I'm soooo trying to pull Jordon) Andre, about the size of his doodah! She cut him down in style!

neeeeeeeeeek
30-01-2004, 08:21
I have only seen bits of it here and there and must say that Jordan comes across as quite level headed and not as annoying as expected. Kerry on the other hand should have been put down at birth.. What a complete waste of space, moaning spoilt little girl. It is almost enough to make me vote, just to make sure she has to do all the challenges and is made to suffer for as long as possible.

I've actually started watching it now, because I wanted to see Peter 'Six Pack' Andre do those challenges. The Hunstman spiders I would have DEFINATELY passed on... however snakes... no probs!

Now I'm watching to see if Peter gets his way with Jordan (which he wont cos lets face it... they're on telly).
Jordan isn't very attractive I must say, but is coming across on TV quite well.

Don't watch dumbed down crap, thanks. Aside from that, I wouldn't want Jordan getting any publicity - shes famous because shes a slag. Hardly setting a good example to society, is she?

I must admit Ms Katie Price has surprised me. I think she has been OK. Best one has ben old Jonny Rotten.

Ashamed to admit that I have started watching this and am quite enjoying it. Having watched it last night I have to say that a certain amount of respect is due to the 2 bimbos after eating plate fulls of bugs. Not sure I could have done that - especially the big wriggly juicy Witchety bug or whatever it was.

I think the whole thing is pointless drivel, expertly edited to be bearable and presented extremely well by Ant & Dec...

Great if you want to zonk out - pure escapism.

What bugs me is all the pretentious crap you get from the other unrecognisable 'celebs' commentating on it throughout daytime TV! wall to wall drivel!

To all those enduring this 'entertainment'...

THE MATRIX HAS YOU.... :o

I can no longer stand the stupid clone idiots I know who all discuss the latest developments on this complete bag of **** TV show!

Who gives a **** about whats goin on in this show.

I've not seen any of it, so people always seem to feel the need to relay the past week's highlights to me. And I JUST DO NOT CARE.

Every day it's: "Ooh, I tell ya, last night, you shoulda seen it - that Jordan and Peter Andre flirtin! Flirtin away they were! It woh dishgustin, honestly!"

Oh, okay then, I promise that i'll watch it tonight, so I can see some Z-list loser have mildly poisonous slugs pushed up his anus whilst walking over a tightrope, while rampantly flirting with some other Z-list loser.

It's like entertainment for people that dont have any taste. Ready made entertainment for people that cant make their own decisions on what they like.

"ooh, PJ and Duncan are on it, I should like it"


The whole thing has about as much substance as Jordan's hideous big fat plastic boobs.

Lame as.

Anyone know when this pile of pure trash TV, aimed at the lowest common denominator, finishes??? Then again, even when it does I suppose it will still be unsafe to turn on the TV as soon enough we'll be bombarded with equally trash pap such as Big Brother 5,945.

PS. the poll lacks a 4th option - "No, not watching it and especially not BECAUSE of Jordan". Some people might not want to reward a common slapper for being just that. She belongs in the gutters and it is a sad reflection on todays society that someone like her can be a "celebrity" that we're supposed to look up to. She's a bad role model for young girls and she's only famous for taking her top off, having fake breasts and sleeping with just about any man in the country. A lot of her fame is because of tabloid 'newspapers' giving her so much coverage.

John Lydon quits. What a surprise. I hate this guy - he's such an attention seeking and he's only doing this whole 'I'm a rebel' act in order to boost his publicity. I don't believe anything he says or does is genuine, but everyone seems to fall for it.

I haven't watched a single show (apart from 10 minutes of the first one) but I'm so sick of seeing people (in the media) focus on look-i'm-a-rebel Lydon. Grow up John and drop your act, it's not big and it's not clever :P

Well sorry, I thought the whole point of the attention-starved wretches who appear on the show was to boost their publicity. But maybe there's some deeper reason, which I have missed.

Well. he's certainly got you in a tizzy, which I expect was his plan from the start.

Maybe you should try reading proper newspapers instead of the 'red top' comic book tabloids?

Before you start having a go at my reading habbits I'll just point out I didnt pick any of them up! you see all the papers are arranged on a nice rack in WHSmiths where all the front pages are on view! I merely glanced at the front pages in disgust then carried on with my journey paperless!

Yes I understand that. But I wish he had been attention seeking in a more original way, I'm not annoyed he is attention seeking (after all that's the point) but it's the lack of originality in his methods. There is a difference ;)

Me too mate! I just think Its lazy programming! Reality TV are there no depths to which it wont plummet!? maybe they should put a serial killer in the jungle with them last one out alive......? might watch it then! :wink:

Doesnt matter if you dont watch it though you still cant get away from it! blathering on about it everywhere! need earplugs and a blindfold to truly escape it!

Good point.

Could be that the TV writers are so stuck for ideas nowadays (and you only have to look at the choices on tv to see this) that they can't be bothered to think of scripts anymore and reckon that if they put a load of people on screen together in the same room/house/jungle that their 'script' will be written for them by the natural course of things.

How wrong they are. There's nothing more sad/boring than people sat around watching people sat around........but it's considered entertainment. Why?

True about not bieng able to get away from it all!
I came up with some interesting alternative reality TV shows with a friend, most of which I wouldn't post as they're a bit sick, but one was serial brother with 6 inmates in one house, they earn early release points by completeing certain tasks.
