Anyone tuned in to this. I did last night. What a debacle. Is there nothing they won’t do for money?. Ruby Wax has had some sort of face lift, unbelievable.. Contestand just sticking their faces in mountains of animal entrails, blood and guts everywhere. I think they would eat dirt. .Jack Osbourne is the most grounded and likeable and also Lisa Riley, still they went in. The others not so. They are all wealthy people, they don't need the money, its not character building in anyway, I do not get it..Is it just any publicity is better than none. Cannot see how it will do Kelly any favours whatsoever.

Tom to win! ❤️😃

I thought it was a thread that people who enjoys this programme. I was wrong, it's full of posters who don't like the programme telling us we are airheads and other things.

Posters telling us they hate it, suggestion, start another thread, and let those of us who enjoy it discuss.

This thread has got very personal and I think telling posters that they should not watch it is a bloody cheek.

When will this animal murdering sludge be banned? Why isn't anyone being jailed for animal cruelty? Apparently, never.
I don't think any animals get murdered until they go for fodder for other species, some of which are endangered.

All in a good cause.

TheWeirdoAgain60 If you do not watch it how do you know what the contestants are like?

Have you known any of the contestants over the 25 years the series has been shown? I have!

There is an off button and other channels 🤷‍♀️

I absolutely hate all of the contestants and all those in the past and all those in the future, same with the hosts.

I've signed countless petitions over the years to get this sewer trash closed for the animals.

NOBODY in there is nice or likeable, they're a bunch of egomaniacal minus-z-listers that nobody has ever heard of or cares about, torturing and murdering various insects, animals, rats, snakes, etc. just to boost their already universal-sized self-obsessed egos and for the money.

When will this animal murdering sludge be banned? Why isn't anyone being jailed for animal cruelty? Apparently, never.

WithNobsOnIt the contestants are away from their day jobs for four weeks.

They are as entitled to a wage as anyone else.

Anniebach Fri 28-Nov-25 06:38:15

Freedom of choice unless illegal is for all ,

Smacks of desperation. Just shows how low people will go and what they will do for money.

I think Charities get some money out of it but this is secondary to the dosh they get for their appearance fee.

But the again cosmetic surgery, bling houses, designer clothes and lifestyles,school feed don't come cheap.

I rest my case.

rafichagran Thu 27-Nov-25 23:23:52

Who do you think will be the 1st celebrity out of there. I think maybe Kelly.

Toetoe Thu 27-Nov-25 23:23:37

Surely the giblets and entrails can't be from animals, pushing their mouths into flesh and guts could cause nasty infections and stomach bugs . There has to be health and safety . I'm not sure the flesh is real .

henetha Thu 27-Nov-25 23:22:51

So some people don't like it. Fair enough. But why the need to spoil it for those that do? Does it make you feel superior?

theretheredear Thu 27-Nov-25 23:16:56

I love it, perhaps I shouldn’t with all those letters after my name. But there you are.

Why are people so judgmental about others enjoyment?

I think it says more about them really..

keepingquiet Thu 27-Nov-25 23:14:39

I agree- if they were given dog's testicles imagine the outcry! But for some reason other less 'popular' animals are fair game.
I find it disgusting and don't know why there hasn't been more of an outcry, unless it's all fake of course...

Allira Thu 27-Nov-25 23:14:08

The insects are commercially bred then collected and given to wildlife sanctuaries for food for birds and endangered animals after the trials.

All part of the eco system.

2507C0 Thu 27-Nov-25 23:01:14

The way the animals, including the insects are treated makes me very angry. The celebrities who are willing to be part of this cruel treatment sicken me. As for Ant and Dec. bloody awful program. If people didn't watch it it would stop.

rafichagran Thu 27-Nov-25 22:41:20

I thought Ruby's comment to Tom during the drinking trial was very funny.

clickbait

Having read this thread, decided to watch it 😁

Crossstitchfan Thu 27-Nov-25 21:56:04

Exactly my point, Rafichagran. It’s a programme that people can relax with and enjoy. I have never understood the snobbery about what people watch. The TV programmes are there to be enjoyed, whether they are documentaries, dramas, comedy sketches etc. What does it matter if a professor or similar watches ‘I’m a Celeb’? Why shouldn’t they? For me, TV is to be enjoyed, and doesn’t have to be highbrow. A friend of mine, who is a real brain box, with degrees, inventions, speeches etc to her name, loved the most simple programmes that she could relax and watch without needing to use much of her brain. She said she had enough pressure at work and Tv was her way of getting her brain back in gear until she felt ‘normal’ again.
Each to his own. It is no-one’s business but their own as to what they watch in their spare time. Tv is for pleasure, at least in my case.

There should be no argument, I am watching it now and enjoying it.
I used to do the big brother thread, I got sick of some posters coming on to thread namecalling, saying people who liked it probably read the daily star, so what if they do. This is a thread for people who enjoy the programme.

I've never watched Big Brother therefore wouldn't join in a thread about it or call others airheads for their choice of viewing.

Just watched Race Across the World, I presume that's on the blacklist too.

Could Dr Watson provide posters with a list of approved tv programmes, please?

rafichagran Thu 27-Nov-25 21:44:08

I thought the Mickey and minnie story was funny. I really enjoy listening to Ruby.
She is what she is, she is not a people pleaser.

crazyH Thu 27-Nov-25 21:41:00

Ruby’s story about when she started her periods was funny 😄

rafichagran Thu 27-Nov-25 21:34:50

I will be sure to tell my daughter with her MSc who is a editor in chief of a magazine that she is a airhead, she loves this programne.
She is very serious about her job, and this is one programme she can enjoy, relax and not take too seriously.

Allsorts Thu 27-Nov-25 21:31:46

It just shows how wrong I am. I find Toms put on voice so irritating, used to switch over whenever he's on tv, yet many seem to like it. agree he is probably a very nice guy though.. Don’t watch any eating trials, like the camp fire chats. Ruby has never amused me, just rude and brittle and her face lift has done her no favours, she looks weird, I wonder she can’t see that. I very much doubt anyone gives money paid to be in there to charity.

crazyH Thu 27-Nov-25 21:24:59

Well said Crossstitchfan 👏👏👏
