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.

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.

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.

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...

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..

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?

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 .

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

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

WithNobsOnIt Thu 27-Nov-25 23:54:51

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.

Freedom of choice unless illegal is for all ,

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

They are as entitled to a wage as anyone else.

TheWeirdoAgain60 Fri 28-Nov-25 11:45:01

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.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 28-Nov-25 11:55:41

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 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.

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.

Tom to win! ❤️😃

Smileless2012 Fri 28-Nov-25 17:40:48

I think it could be Alex or Ruby rafichagran.

You obviously watch it avidly every years to know so much about all the contestants, the hosts, the whole show in fact.

Perhaps you can let me know who some of the contestants are as I only dip in from time to time and I'm not sure.

I recognise the Fairy lady. And Ruby Wax. And, of course, Martin Kemp - does he know his children are backpacking across the world while he's enjoying the tropical rainforest?

Oh I love Tom! I think he'll get to the last 3 but I'm pretty sure Ginge will win. Which is OK.

I just hope Kelly gets evicted tonight. Lot of talk that it might be her or Alex

Anniebach Fri 28-Nov-25 19:57:48

Yes, Tom to win but Ginge and Aitch seems favourites

crazyH Fri 28-Nov-25 20:06:10

Ginge, I think will win.

Grannynannywanny Fri 28-Nov-25 20:07:05

I have a soft spot for Ruby. I don’t think she’ll win but I hope she makes it to the final 3. Aitch and Ginge have such a huge online following I think they’ll be neck and neck till the end. Tom is lovely. I’d like to see him win.

HiPpyChick57 Fri 28-Nov-25 21:36:09

I love it. Watched from the beginning.
I’m fascinated by the things they put themselves through especially the eating trials as my camp mates would definitely go hungry if it was left to me. 🤮
They’re all so lovely in there this year that I can’t decide. I usually vote but not this year as I can’t choose one. They’re all characters in their own right and each have something different to offer.
All the stories the celebs tell are interesting especially this year as Jack is opening up about his family life with Ozzie and Sharon and now this evening he’s telling Kelly about his grandfather and mother’s falling out. Intriguing.
Here’s to many more years. 😊

rafichagran Fri 28-Nov-25 21:52:25

I must admit I admired Jack for the way he has conducted himself. I have now grown to like him.

Kate1949 Fri 28-Nov-25 23:23:03

I love Tom. I have a bit of an interest in Jack as someone in my family went out with Ozzy's brother in the 70s.
