ITV have confirmed that I'm a Celeb will go ahead this year, with the contestants all kept apart for 2 weeks beforehand - and the families won't be flown out.

And like any year, the rumours already going around in the tabloids and there's some interesting names!:

Carole Baskin (of Tiger King fame; who according to The Mirror is asking for £350,000 to appear)
AJ Pritchard (former Strictly professional)
Beverley Callard (Liz McDonald in Corrie)
Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt in Corrie)
Mark Labbett (The Beast on The Chase)
Maura Higgins (Love Island person)
Eric Cantona (football legend)
Paul Merson (former footballer)
Jessie J

No AJ tyvm Here for Beverley, Lucy, Maura and lowkey Jessie lmao

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 12th July 2020, 02:27 PM

This is the last show Jessie J should do! It would really do her no favours at all

Posted by: Wall 12th July 2020, 02:33 PM

No way would AJ and Maura do it together!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 12th July 2020, 02:36 PM

They've probably approached both to see who will do it cheaper Interesting Maura is there, as they haven't had any reality "stars" for a few years now.

Maura would be amazing TV, I feel like if they had to get anyone from Love Island it should be her

Posted by: StupidLove 12th July 2020, 11:41 PM

Not Jessie J and Carole Baskin

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th July 2020, 01:45 PM

I was just thinking that I'd love to see Charles Ingram on this!

Posted by: Slick 13th July 2020, 01:51 PM

AJ definitely sees himself as some Z-list reality TV type I think, now that he's left Strictly, so this seems like the sort of thing he might do. I find him quite arrogant/unlikeable but he's extremely easy on the eye, so I wouldn't hate it.

Carole Baskin would be AMAZING. She should be at home with the animals!

Posted by: Brett-Butler 7th August 2020, 10:23 AM

The new series will be filmed in a https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53693651, which means it can be filmed in the UK. Will be interesting to see how it changes the tone of the series.

Posted by: J🐠hq 7th August 2020, 12:21 PM

For a one-off that suits the current climate of the world, I think it works out quite well for them. I imagine it'll draw more curiosity viewers initially, will be cheaper and maybe easier to get celebs on board since they haven't got as far to travel (unless the holiday to Australia provided most of the appeal )

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 7th August 2020, 12:45 PM

Woah! I wasn't expecting that tbh, looking forward to how it goes though.

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 7th August 2020, 12:56 PM

Interesting idea but I’d personally rather they label the new show something other than I’m A Celebrity though and launch it as like a totally new concept show then have I’m A Celeb just not air this year and return next year in Australia.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 7th August 2020, 01:01 PM

They'll want that name recognition though, and I guess other than the location it'll be the exact same format

Posted by: dandy* 7th August 2020, 04:16 PM

A ruined castle in the UK?

Will they be theming the challenges around the UK also? Dropping sheep on the celebrities heads if they get a question wrong? Making them stick their beer soaked head into a box full of 1000 angry wasps?

I actually love this idea. It would work really well if they made the challenges more UK/medieval too, so the whole thing was themed around the castle (if they have enough time to plan all of that.)

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 7th August 2020, 04:41 PM

I'm guessing the budget will be smaller being over here, so hopefully they can get bigger names!

Posted by: Dobbo 7th August 2020, 04:44 PM

I'm not sure... perhaps but then I can imagine some celebrities would want to wait until it's in its more traditional format.

For me personally I think this would be a good idea to try and do an all star series.

I think around 90% of celebs who haven’t done the show and who perhaps were on standby for this series may have wanted the full Aussie experience like it just won’t be truly the same doing it here in the UK have an all star series then bring back the proper show in the same location next year.

Carole Baskin has said to The Mirror, "I strive towards veganism so there is nothing so gross in the plant world, for me to be forced to eat on camera, as to make for entertaining television. The show has been criticized by animal lovers for the consumption of live creatures, and no amount of money would make me want to be part of something that disrespects nature that way."

So that rules her out

Vinnie Jones
Jenny Ryan "The Vixen" from The Chase

Joe Sugg
Jeremy Clarkson
John Barnes
Ronnie O'Sullivan
Susanna Reid

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th August 2020, 10:13 PM

A few of those like Baga Chipz tbf are only on those rumoured articles because they've said they want to be on the show

As divisive as he is, I reckon Jeremy Clarkson would be an outright winner from the start unless he got particuarly annoying

Posted by: Mack. 16th August 2020, 10:19 PM

Yes, a few for them are because they want to be on show. I'd amazed if Ronnie O'Sullivan was in hence he just become world snooker champion again.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th August 2020, 10:21 PM

Yeah Ronnie said a few years ago he was offered but turned it down, surely there's no way he'd go on it this year with his success?

I'd say that we might get some of the bigger British stars this year, largely because a lot of them won't have been able to work this year due to the Coronavirus and therefore would be more welcoming of the lucrative I'm a Celeb paycheck that's on offer, especially given that they won't have to give up time flying to and from Australia.

With news of Jessica Plummer from Eastenders exit confirmed I’m sure that they’ll be rumoured to do it by the papers.

I wonder who’s plausible to do it. It’s quite tricky trying to think who hasn’t actually done the show tbh.

The German version in January uses the UK set in Australia every year, so both stations can save money. That's why Germans planned to go to the UK, too, but they cancelled it just now.

Yeah that's a fairly good line up if true

Posted by: GhoulOdyssey 24th October 2020, 10:56 AM

Ruthie Henshall and Hollie Arnold are apparently two other names confirmed by them. Which overall, it does seem slightly week compared to previous years - though it being a different show this year makes it understandable.

And of course there's 2 more TBA + 1/2 late entries.

Posted by: Liаm 24th October 2020, 11:09 AM

Not really that fussed on seeing any of them bar Jessica and Beverley but that's a better calibre of names than I expected tbh!

As for the names I thunk it’s a good line up well I recognise them all anyways!

Posted by: GhoulOdyssey 24th October 2020, 11:22 AM

I felt like that as well, but Iain Wright and James Haskell last year (and Jamie Lomas and Amir Khan bullying Iain Lee a few years ago) annoyed me so much I've decided I prefer when they get on

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 24th October 2020, 11:22 AM

The only names I recognise from that lto are Vernon and AJ although I've just looked them all up and they do all seem to have done something relatively notable.

Posted by: Liаm 24th October 2020, 11:26 AM

The reason I'm A Celeb is so boring for me is because they all always get on There's only so much you can do when that's the dynamic, every day it's just trial, chest thing, dinner, with some random convos about missing home and it gets boring really quick after a week or so and I usually dip out.

Arguments can be entertaining but I found Lady C wholly unlikeable so I'd rather not have a repeat of that. I think I'm a Celeb usually has enough going on not to need arguments for entertainment, personally!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 24th October 2020, 12:34 PM

I'm not a fan of the arguments, mainly because I know how I would react if people weren't pulling their weight or were being 'bullies' and I feel bad for the people who just want to work as a team.

AJ Pritchard - £50,000

Posted by: Brett-Butler 27th October 2020, 03:21 PM

That's actually less than I would expect for I'm A Celeb, it seems less than in previous series. Then again, I wouldn't complain if I was paid £50k to spend 3 weeks in Wales.

I wonder if they're scaling back and there will just be those 8 initially before another 2 go in?

Seems odd to have continually just 8 names touted

Quite a disappointing lineup tbh

Posted by: HeadlessJockey 27th October 2020, 11:06 PM

Apparently four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Mo Farah has signed up. He twice did the long-distance double in London and Rio.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 27th October 2020, 11:16 PM

He seems like someone that would have done the show already tbh I’m surprised he hasn’t before .

Posted by: GhoulOdyssey 27th October 2020, 11:16 PM

That's quite a big get if true!

If there's any predictable winner this year, it'll be AJ Pritchard I suspect.

Posted by: jlj 27th October 2020, 11:48 PM

Last years I’m A Celeb was quite good in the way that there wasn’t an obvious winner from the start.

Before that, for around 4 years I think it was obvious who the winner would be the minute they stepped foot in camp. Hopefully this year doesn’t have an obvious winner as well.

Mo Farah would be a good signing if that’s true!

Jessica I think will be popular! I follow her on Instagram and her stories are often funny she seems like a right laugh and past EE stars who’ve done the show almost always come across as well.

Posted by: GhoulOdyssey 28th October 2020, 11:28 AM

"I'm a Celebrity... A Jungle Story" is airing on November 8th! It's a best bits show it seems, and features Ant & Dec taking on their own Bushtucker Trials.

Posted by: Dobbo 28th October 2020, 11:38 AM

A good bet for the winner is always a young female, this has been the case for 4 of the past 5 seasons and Emily Atack was runner up in 2018 so came close to extending the run.

Posted by: Liаm 28th October 2020, 05:44 PM

I'd LOVE Jess to do that but I can see her being more of a Vanessa White type

Posted by: RobBot 29th October 2020, 12:12 AM

If he has, I think he's a strong contender for winner from the get go, I get the impression Alfie was SUPER popular on Eastenders to the general public.

Posted by: GhoulOdyssey 29th October 2020, 12:24 AM

If I was predicting the top 3 from that list, I'd say (in no particular order) Beverley Callard, Shane Ritchie, AJ Pritchard.

Beverley in particular for me will be a bit of a dark horse I suspect

Posted by: jlj 29th October 2020, 02:07 AM

Shane Ritchie definitely seems the type who could do well on something like this tbh. But it depends how similar he is to the character of Alfie in real life. Him and Vernon Kay in the same series might split votes actually as I imagine that the both of them are quite similar in a way idk why I just get the feeling personality wise there’s a definite similarity.

Soap stars sometimes tend to do well on this though especially ones from Eastenders! We’ve had three winners (i think there could be more) who were ex or current EE actors at the time they went on the show.

Praying Jess gets good airtime though. I had a feeling she might’ve done it though as soon as it was confirmed that she was leaving EE. I’m rooting for her but I’ve legit been a fan of hers since the Neon Jungle days.

Posted by: GhoulOdyssey 29th October 2020, 02:22 AM

Had a look at their insta followers, to check back where they are after the show as they usually explode! As with previous years, you can't measure how someone will do at all by their social media. Andy last year had less than 10k followers before the show!

Mo Farah - 958k
AJ Pritchard - 597k
Jessica Plummer - 167k
Vernon Kay - 127k
Beverley Callard - 24.9k
Shane Ritchie - 19.8k
Victoria Derbyshire - 10.3k
Russell Watson - 3,175
Ruthie Henshall - 2,980
Hollie Arnold - 2,223

I expected Shane to have more tbh, but he doesn't really post much. I'd suspect he will have the biggest follower gains from the show

If he’s just begun isolating he might not be able to go in on day one but with something like this it’s probably better he withdraws.

I will be shocked if Mo doesn't win (if he doesn't quit), although has there ever been a non white winner?

Surprised Victoria is doing this. I hope she does well.

I hope Vernon gets the shows his true colours and is actually a nasty person edit that quite a few of the older men get. Especially as from whenever I've seen him on stuff he mocks campness in men.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 8th November 2020, 10:50 PM

I'm not sure how well Mo will do tbh, he comes across as quite dull in TV appearances I've seen him on?

Though that could just be nerves and hopefully that's not the case

Posted by: Liаm 8th November 2020, 10:54 PM

Giovanna sticks out to me as a potential winner, you can so see the "she misses her kids but she's strong and gets through it" story for her but I guess that would be too similar to Jacqueline Jossa. That is one of the archetype I'm A Celeb winners along with "young white female reality star" though

It’s definitely going to be another year free of conflict imo!

I think Jordan will do quite well. He’ll be one of the least known going in but I think he has the northern charm to build up support.

Victoria’s the one I’m most surprised is doing it! It’s not really a name I would have considered for this type of show but I really like her.

It’s weird how Vernons just disappeared from our screens over the years, I actually wondered what he was doing when Family Fortunes came back the other week

Let’s hope AJ is one of the first out, I still can’t believe he gave up Strictly for this.

I can’t see who’ll clash on this series as well. But I would love a conflict series. But given this years been a bit naff I think they’ll want to keep it light hearted and high spirited. I loved the Lady C series but a lot of people didn’t. I mean I’m A Celeb is different to Big Brother in that you see people in a different light in a more positive way and it doesn’t centre around drama but pls someone cause trouble!

Is AJ still going in as far as we know?

Seems like a potentially really strong line-up! I actually know who they all are apart from a couple.

Also I actually quite enjoy it when they all get on? I don't think that automatically makes it boring - if they're genuinely nice people then I think it comes across really sweet and heartwarming. I'd find drama for the sake of drama much more dull.

I have to also agree that the series feels so fresh. I think because on paper it kinda sounded not so great the thought of moving the show to Wales but it’s exceeded expectations so far. I love it.

It was getting to a point where it felt very samey and predictable when it was in Australia so this fresh feel definitely feels good. It’s still pretty much the same show at its core but it does very much feel revamped and fresher and I think this setting is perfect.

Posted by: Klaus 16th November 2020, 10:49 PM

Yeh the castle setting actually looks amazing, incredible work from the production team. They’ve chosen a perfect setting, the layout and everything would have me convinced it was a set otherwise, it just works perfectly!

Posted by: Liam.k. 17th November 2020, 08:51 AM

I love the castle setting too. It kinda takes what was so good about Big Brother whilst still having that I'm a Celeb feel.

I was so happy for Jordan confronting his fears like that. He's shot up in my estimations after that and I reckon he could be an early favourite to win.

Posted by: Calum 17th November 2020, 10:32 PM

I think the majority of them are kind of fading into the background a bit - like they're all 'there', but just not commanding the screen as much as Bev, Vernon, Shane and Jordan. Hopefully some of them are given trials to do soon so we see them a bit more, but feel like it's going to be an alternation of those four for some time?

Posted by: Klaus 17th November 2020, 10:48 PM

I don’t think the rest have big enough personalities which is what I worried about when the cast was revealed. You need more ‘fun, bubbly’ personalities, I think on the whole they’re largely just ‘nice’. Jessica’s getting a lot of ‘diary room’ moments but I never see her in the rest of it

I don’t know much about the newbies (have never heard of the woman) so not sure what they’ll be like...

Posted by: jlj 17th November 2020, 11:24 PM

Tonight’s show was better in that we seen Hollie (MBE) and Giovanna tonight as they had the castle coin challenge and then we seen Jessica more tonight too. So we are seeing more of people now.

I’d say AJ was probably the least shown person tonight.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th November 2020, 10:27 AM

Yeah the editing was better in the 2nd ep with Giovanna and Hollie Arnold MBE getting some screentime. It felt a lot more balanced that Monday's show. Think the show would be better if it was longer though given how much time is given to the Trials (I know it does go to an hour and a half at times/ when the eliminations start).

Posted by: Liam.k. 18th November 2020, 06:13 PM

I did like how Giovanna and Hollie both looked at each other and immediately said "Jordan" for who said "I wet the bed until I was 15"! I expected them to be pretty bland but it was actually quite nice to see some more them tonight.

They all did well but Beverley especially smashed that challenge! Just got on with it, no bother.

Posted by: jlj 18th November 2020, 06:25 PM

Initially I thought with Beverley being a vegan she might get off lightly in that eating challenge but if anything her food actually looked worse and it seemed like she had to eat more of it too. 5 cubes of that fermented tofu

I think the only conflict which would occur is about food - however as they've been getting a big amount of stars everyone has been fed.

There’s no way they would do that they want viewers plus the rest wouldn’t make sense if they did try at as there would be a post conflict atmosphere.

I’m enjoying Jordan and Shane was funny tonight with him farting and scaring Jordan. The rest are background as they are generally quieter.

Beverley and Jordan will be top 2!

Posted by: jlj 19th November 2020, 01:35 AM

Beverley I’d say will almost definitely be top female but I think it’s a male winner this year!

I like that we’re seeing a bit more of Jess I hope she comes out of her shell.

I keep voting for her and Giovanna for the trials but they’re probably wasted votes tbh it’ll be Jordan on his own or Jordan and someone else until they decide who does them themselves when the vote switches to who we want to stay. I do think that once you’ve done a trial the following night you should be exempt from the vote so we get different people.

I find enjoyment in the survival/character-building aspect, seeing how different personalities work in unusual circumstances and around people they may not usually cross paths with. Take Jordan for instance, I think we were anticipating him to be the one to always say "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" but he's risen to the challenge and pushed through his fears. I find that sort of growth and inner-strength really encouraging. I'd much rather see that than bitterness and arguments and people falling apart. That's how the likes of X Factor destroyed themselves. I don't find much entertainment in watching weakness.

I'm missing that big international personality.

I'm not disliking it, but unless something gets kicked up a gear or two, I'm not going to get invested. I hate that Jordan will be getting every trial and the public being "LOLLLLLL!!!!!!!!", "He's my winner!!" and "Aww he was amazing in the end!" with his predictable game plan that never seems to fail.

I'm really hoping Giovanna pulls a Jacqueline and comes out her shell more to actually nab it towards the end.

Posted by: Klaus 19th November 2020, 12:44 PM

Honestly, I really think it’s unfair to say it’s a gameplan! He is genuinely terrified, there’s no faking that.

It’s easy to go why’s he on the show then but (a) it’s a challenge, (b) obviously money and © it’s a great platform for him starting in his career.

Posted by: Liam.k. 19th November 2020, 12:53 PM

He was on the verge of having a panic attack before the snake trial, definitely no faking that.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 19th November 2020, 01:04 PM

Be interesting to see what happens this evening as he was mainly calmed down by Shane last time - he will only have Ant and Dec this time.

Posted by: Klumpkin 19th November 2020, 01:08 PM

Yeah I agree there's no way he could be faking that. We've seen both real and fake reactions before and that was not fake Also everyone reacts to fear in different ways so I think it's unfair to say he's making a ploy for screen-time. Obviously it does do that as a secondary effect but if we never had situations that brought out these reactions what would be the point in the show??

I do agree on the point about making people immune after they've just done a trial. Would be great to switch-up the characters and giving everyone a chance to shine!

I can believe that they don’t show arguments. The Lady C series was epic but it did get some complaints didnt it. But what made that series was the fact there was some conflict in camp and that it wasn’t a happy camp who were constantly well fed

Tbh I know it’s not the same show but Love Island as well another ITV reality show has become more PC too. I think they’re wanting the show to be seen as a family show and not an adult show. I still enjoy the show but it’s definitely making me miss CBB I just like seeing personalities clash

Posted by: Qween 19th November 2020, 03:31 PM

Just dropping by to say I'm finding it a massive struggle this year. It all feels so stale, boring and predictable. It's hardly a new observation, but it's like a weird mix of Big Brother, Crystal Maze and the normal show and yet comes out as less enjoyable than any of those. I'm also VERY conscious of the padding this year - perhaps due to only watching this and Bake Off on 'actual' TV now - but it just feels like there's about 20 minutes of actual CONTENT each night which is not great.

Posted by: Dobbo 19th November 2020, 03:51 PM

I'm enjoying the series so far, like the new lick of paint & Ant/Dec getting to use new material related to the castle theme.

Line-up is strong too imo. Also on the side that whilst arguments/conflict can be entertaining, that's no good if the show relies heavily on it. I think 2015 is always brought up because it was so much on the conflict side and was a one-off. If it was like that every year that'd be boring as well. Plus that's not correct in that they haven't shown arguments since. We had Ian Lee vs everyone (mainly vs Dennis/Rebekah) in 2017 then we had Ian Wright vs Andrew Maxwell and James vs everyone last year.

It's a good bit of escapism telly and a welcome distraction for the next 3 weeks.

I'm liking it too and today's episode was probably the most enjoyable so far! My favourite is Jordan though so I do appreciate his airtime but not just him, the prank task was good fun too and the dance to S Club 7 towards the end made me smile. No pictures of Jane McDonald this year

(as much as I like Jordan, I'm glad someone else is getting a turn now - him getting all 12 wraps up his many days of tasks perfectly)

Posted by: Houdini 19th November 2020, 10:53 PM

Jordan must have the win in the bag already. I can't imagine anyone getting close to stopping him from winning this series.


Regarding the series so far I think it has been alright but it doesn't feel like must watch TV to me, I had a choice between this and another show on at the same time tonight and I decided to watch the other show instead and I don't feel overly motivated to catch up. There is a feeling that if I miss 1 or 2 episodes I wont be out of the loop based on how this first week has been, it feels like without the trials/challenges there would be nothing memorable to see. The viewing figures must be really high though as a change of location must be a big draw for lapsed viewers who have dipped in and out of watching the programme such as myself.

I think Jess is gonna face her fears and we’ll see a stronger side to her. She’s already managed to do them she’s just not focused on the time limit but she’s not a quitter!

I can’t bare Shane Ritchie. A perfect match for his ex wife two c**** in a pod.

Poor Jess as well getting spoke of behind her back like that interesting to hear AJ say she was petrified when he was the one yelping as well.

We need Hollie screen time however! She was pretty much missing from tonight’s show.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 23rd November 2020, 10:42 PM

I mean I really don’t think Shane and Vernon said anything bad ? there literally saying what most of us would be saying watching . People that do show there scared and scream a lot do end up getting voted by the public a lot . I think Jess would have possibly been voted again but she wasn’t a screamish and a lot more calm this trail .

Posted by: LMLou 23rd November 2020, 10:50 PM

It’s more saying things like “why come on this show if you’re scared”. Well maybe the want to face their fears, also they did face their fears they just struggled more with the technical side of the trial

Neither of them appeal nothing more than arrogant which was my preconception of them both prior to appearing on the show.

Posted by: jlj 24th November 2020, 12:00 AM

When is elimination number 1? Is it on Friday as the show finishes on a Friday this year?

I expect we might have two more trials to be voted for by us and then it’ll shift to who we keep but I hope they do a immunity task first

Posted by: Klaus 24th November 2020, 01:07 PM

I love/hate how I'm a Celebrity is the kind of show where it just takes ONE comment to change the whole public perception of someone. It's scary to look at Facebook comments etc and see how much people get invested and start throwing all sorts of names/insults at people for what could just be a bad day for someone.

Ngl, I low-key assumed this would be the way Shane would turn out (Vernon less so/didn't really give much thought about him tbh)! Think me and a couple of others said a similar thing in the chat before the show started. It's just one night for now, but we'll see - I genuinely think it's just going to get worse. Also, the voting for the trial at that point had closed, so that wasn't a result of it at all, we'll likely see the effects of that, tonight.

Giovanna is a firm favourite for me. She's just so lovely, warm and kind!

Tonight was the first time I thought Jordan may have played to the cameras jumping in the shower with Shane.

I’m glad Jess’s again has another trial as it’s getting her screen time a shame she’s paired with Shane who’ll make it all about him but as it’s a drinking trial it could be a good one and a breakthrough moment for her if she smashes it.

Shane’s trial was piss easy tonight. It was basically AJ and Jess’s trial but with the lights on and with even more help from Ant and Dec.

Yeh, I think Giovanna will do well but I thought she would have been picked for at least one trial if she was winner potential. I can’t remember the last time a winner wasn’t chosen by the public to do a trial?

I just think with Giovanna being so warm and lovely (as well as funny) tied into the fact that SURELY Tom will be rallying McFly fans to vote for her via his social media, she's in with a good chance? She's slowly but surely getting more and more airtime and also, everyone ik in has her in their top 3/celebs they like - probably the most consistent/mentioned (but those who have mentioned Jordan LOOOOVE him)

Idk, I just don't think you can rule her out of being a winner, yet

Was looking forward to seeing Jess do it again. She'll probably go back to getting zero screen time now

Posted by: Klaus 25th November 2020, 10:35 PM

That was an incredible episode, so so funny! Beverley getting spooked by Shane, her goggles coming off in the massage and omg that task!!!

Interesting that Hollie got picked, did not see that coming. Apparently Giovanna has been picked as camp leader? If so, makes it more surprising Hollie & AJ get picked for trials over her!

Posted by: jlj 25th November 2020, 11:23 PM

I’m also a bit surprised Hollie of all people ended up with either the first or second most amount of votes.

After how well that trial went down with Jess and Shane I was pretty sure it would be both of them again.

Jess is having a real journey now though. I just hope she doesn’t go back to getting almost no screen time she had the most coverage she’s ever had tonight and she’s won over people too.

Beverley continues to make me laugh

Posted by: Wall 25th November 2020, 11:25 PM

Mo’s coverage is non existent now

Posted by: jlj 25th November 2020, 11:33 PM

The shows quite random this series with the coverage.

We’re seeing more of the women now to what we did in the first few days (but I suppose part of that is because first of all they lost the live trial and then tonight it just so happened it was all women who picked a red stick thing to do the challenge).

Mo and AJ didn’t get much coverage tonight but tomorrow it might fall back to Jess not being shown much although I hope that’s not the case.

Who are we thinking is going first?

I think it’s one of Ruthie, Russell, Victoria and Hollie.

But likely to be one of the late entrants I think.

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 26th November 2020, 10:07 PM

Ooh not sure who to vote for!

I'd say Hollie, Vic and Ruthie are the most likely to go tomorrow. Russell has a decent fanbase judging from his new album going top 10

No Ruthie and Victoria are iconic!!

Posted by: jlj 26th November 2020, 10:11 PM

I gave all my votes to Jess on the app!

Was gonna split votes and give some to Beverley though but I ended up just giving them all to Jess.

I don’t think she’s gonna go first though I think she’s won people over the last few days and she’s begun to get more coverage as well.

Interested to see how close this series is when it concludes. I don’t think there’s a clear winner yet think we’re in for another close year in terms of the voting percentages.

Posted by: jlj 27th November 2020, 10:24 PM

Hollie going first wasn’t too much of a shock. I think that whole “MBE” thing from launch night stuck with her throughout the whole series to a lot of viewers unfortunately.

But she was almost invisible within the highlights show as well so from a viewing perspective I don’t think we’ll notice much.

So the next vote off is on Sunday?

That love in towards the end of the episode was both pitiful and nauseating to watch

I'm actually surprised Hollie left. Was so sure it was gonna be Ruthie.

Posted by: jlj 27th November 2020, 11:40 PM

Does anyone else feel Hollie didn’t expect to go? I think her reaction to leaving was genuine in that she was gutted but I didn’t so much buy her I'm superstitious and I had a feeling it would be me response.

I don’t think she expected it to be her for one minute. But I did feel for her. Hopefully she doesn’t open Twitter anytime soon

Are we thinking Ruthie really was second bottom then? When they reveal voting stats sometimes it confirms that a few of the times when they say that both for the trial and elimination they really were the person next in line in terms of votes. Sometimes it’s random though

We must be due two double eliminations before the final. They usually do one the day before when they go from a final 5 to a final 3 don’t they. I think we could get one on Sunday perhaps and then the second one on Thursday.

If it finishes on Friday we could be getting two doubles although it depends on how many are in the final this year.

I’m not surprised Ruthie went she was hardly shown tonight. However Beverley being the it might be you tonight I suspect could push some votes for her tomorrow even though I don’t think she was actually second bottom I think she was perhaps a random choice for that.

Victoria may well go tomorrow I’d have said her or Russell but I think Russell will do tomorrow’s trial so that might save him.

Giovanna got quite a winners edit tonight however I think her missing out on that treat will really surge her vote in a big way!

I think Shane might be a surprise early(ish) exit! Him and AJ to be the next two to go?

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 1st December 2020, 11:48 PM

I was just wondering: who would be the most beneficial to win for ITV? In terms of who would they use for future programmes?

The tabloids have been reporting that they want to use Shane Richie for a Saturday night entertainment programme now, and I can see Jordan North doing something on ITV2 (or more likely BBC Three even)

Mo and AJ are doing tonight's trial

Posted by: Slade 2nd December 2020, 11:15 AM

Aww I was really hoping for Jordan and Mo! I feel starved of Jordan trials even though he did so many at the start

I wonder if both AJ and Mo getting more screen time tonight could put Shane in danger

Posted by: Dan17F1 2nd December 2020, 03:02 PM

I think Jordan could be in trouble tonight too! I was really hoping he’d have done the trail - hopefully he gets to do the Castle Coin Challenge so that he gets some screen time.

Posted by: Slade 2nd December 2020, 03:37 PM

He re-overtook Giovanna as the bookies favourite yesterday so surely him leaving at this stage would be a massive shock? well, we shall see, I think his last coin challenge was with Ruthie a while ago so him doing that today seems like a good shout if not doing the trial.

Manifesting an AJ and Shane bottom 2

Posted by: Santa Klaus 2nd December 2020, 04:14 PM

I think it will be AJ & Shane! *manifests*

There’s a lot of love for Mo, plus he’s a big name and a sporting hero which always goes far. I can see him in the Final now.

16.5% Vernon
14.6% Shane

Though of course when the vote reopens with the final two halfway in the show, the Vernon voters could benefit Jordan (assuming it's them with Gi in the top 3)

I thought this was going Jordan's way by that final episode! Last in the trial and last to be interviewed whilst the votes were still open felt all set up for him to win. Especially with the fact his trajectory was just like Jacqueline from last year who won.

Having said that I'm so happy for Giovanna to win. Couldn't have been a nicer, caring, genuine person and you can tell from every campmate that they don't have a bad word to say about her! She showed that being a loving person is the way forward and that it's never boring to be that maternal figure. Also love that she was genuinely shocked to win and just couldn't believe that millions of people voted for her to win!

also quite surprising that in such a male-dominated series by voting stats that we have a female winner! another testament to her character

Awww no, do feel Jordan deserved it more but Gi is an absolutely lovely person.

Massive kudos to the production team for working absolute miracles in getting a series set up this year though! The castle setting looked amazing and looked like it was designed for the show! Impressive to get a trial and castle coin challenge every day too, especially some of the set ups for the trials considering they were all built within the castle. I think the series did lack some of jeopardy and high scales of the trials (e.g. the wire ones, underwater) and missed those extra bonus challenges/splitting up the camp/immunity challenges of normal years but it’s absolutely understandable and just pressive we got such a well-made show (and cyclone!!) in the end!

Lots of hilarious moments throughout the series too, the drinking trial being one of my favourites

Just listened to Jordan's interview with Greg James on R1 and he said ITV struggle to get the rights for songs by The Beatles, Queen or Disney music, so if there was something they wanted to chat about that they didn't want shown on TV, then someone would sing a song by one of them at the same time

Posted by: Dobby Helms 30th December 2020, 02:02 PM

I finally finished watching this a few days back.

Would have preferred Jordan or Vernon winning but Giovanna did warm to me during the series. Pretty strong top 5 actually (I think Mo placed above AJ even if they technically exited together). Astonished that the winning margin was even tighter than last series which I thought would never be topped.

Very strong series I think, one of the better ones of the last decade. Helped by a change in scenery & it being more of a distraction from the real world than usual.

Still haven't got round to watching Ant & Dec's trial they filmed before the series.
