Confession ….. I have never watched more than a few minutes of this prog but this time around I plan to because Fred Sirieix, Grace Dent and Nigel Farage are in it which should be interesting.

Just to add, Nigel is a lifelong smoker, so holding his breath under water would be very hard for him. That's another reason why he couldn't do it

Smoking is also the reason why Nigel could do the eating challenge more easily, as smoking affects your gag reflex, making it less efficient.
I admire all those who have a go, whatever the challenge. The one I’d dread would be crawling through the tunnel or in the box with spiders, that would freak me out

😲

It can't have got further than the outer ear, surely? Cockroaches aren't tiny.

Oh, can you imagine spending more than an hour with him?

Why aren't they providing ear plugs?

Sam is boring and is obviously annoying Tony now. He needs to grow up.

I thought Danielle was brilliant with the rats. That would have freaked me out.

I've started noticing Nella's gigantic mammaries swinging around due to the low cut top she is wearing. What an exhibitionist. Josie has a tidy neckline so her boobs are covered up, also Jamie Lynn, the complete opposite of what Nella is wearing. I'm not sure what Danielle is wearing. Why don't they just issue standard tops for all, everyone the same, so there's no boob exposure? Personally I don't enjoy seeing fat naked flesh wobbling about.

Sam is certainly energetic, but ADHD is a complex condition and I found it interesting listening to his description of it tonight. He talked about the highs and the lows, and the difficulty in focusing, especially when he was at school. As I have relatives with ADHD I recognised all of this and I know about the difficulty it causes for those who have this condition. And yes, it can be tiring for those of us who don’t have the condition but deal with those who do. But the enthusiasm people with ADHD have is truly wonderful and very endearing, whilst their anxieties can be difficult to watch and they do need a lot of support when they are feeling anxious.
I rather like Sam. I find his childish enthusiasm endearing.

There's an OFF button.

I don't have an OFF button on my TV. In fact I had lost the remote so went to manually turn it off and was amazed to discover there was no button

Does it have a plug?

Why should I switch it off when I want to watch the show?

Bits? There was a bit of banter on about bits when they were sorting out the stars!

Joseann Fri 01-Dec-23 09:29:14

PS ... the matching star bits, last night. 🌟

Tony really is getting fed up with Sam jumping on him and even throwing his legs around him like he did last night. He is probably more annoying than Tony’s own small kids. He physically reversed away from him last night and quietly said “get off me”.

talking of boobs, Danielle is very skinny but has these big boobs which I am guessing are implants.

rafichagran Fri 01-Dec-23 13:08:55

Sam is annoying, but he has no malice in him. He has ADHD, but I think people should tell him that the constant hugging and jumping on people is irritating and maybe making people feel uncomfortable.

My partner dislikes I'm a Celebrity and when it is on he is on the lap top and mostly ignores it, however last night he looked up asked 'does that man ever stop talking, even he found it irritating.

Namsnanny Fri 01-Dec-23 15:59:28

I can forgive Sam's impulsive nature, and his child like glee at everything, but I'm not as understanding as you maddyone😊.
I do think a grown man could try to exercise a little self restraint when it comes to jumping on someone, constantly.
Interestingly, I wonder how ADHD affected people learn to manage their behaviours?
He said he was only diagnosed around a year ago. So maybe he hasnt been given any guidance?
I have respect for his partner.

Latest news from the jungle drums is that it's all fixed in favour of Nella:

Viewers are fed up with Nella being unfairly favoured. First, she had a very easy option when working with Sam, who went under water and collected stars while she just read out numbers. Secondly, she disappeared when voted for another trial so missed that one altogether.

Now apparently there is a fix for the latest game! When fans went on the app to pick for Nella, there was no option for spiders but, instead, two buttons with snakes on. She is scared of spiders apparently. Josie had arachnophobia but had to tackle spiders.

Joseann Fri 01-Dec-23 16:23:42

I think a lot of the contestants are just going through the motions this year, rather than embracing the experience. Danielle has picked up a bit now.

Chestnut Fri 01-Dec-23 17:30:19

More news from the jungle drums!

Fred is a misogynist because he told the females off for not washing up properly!

Danielle is sneaky because she is never far away when there's trouble.

The women do absolutely nothing except sit and gossip and moan about washing up while the men do all the work and cooking.

Don't blame me, it's what the jungle drums are saying! 😂

She does always pop up when theres drama going on but to be fair thats what I would do smile

I looked up areas south of Surfers and found out the camp is quite near to Murwillumbah, which is a reasonably large town in North New South Wales. So I stupidly thought it must be further north where it is very tropical. The area around northernNSW is a lovely area. However, the mossies would be bad!
