Is it time to rename “I’m a celebrity...”

[bobinho]

To “I’m related to a celebrity”?

Seriously, this is the only programme of its type that I look at (cos I like to think they are struggling and hating it) mainly because I think ant and dec do a great job ripping the contestants when they are on, but....

The list is out for this year, and it’s a shocker. Over half of them won’t be known outside their immediate family. Shame really, as the more famous and high profile the contestant, the more I enjoy watching them squirm whilst munching ********.

Might even pick up the phone this year to vote for Amir Khan, getting him to eat kangaroo anus, or an ar****le, eating an ar****le!!

"I once bought a second hand ladder that Jimmy Tarbucks window cleaner had owned, which means I am now eligible for next years I'm a celebrity"

[claretfern]

Lots of people on messageboards saying the same ie : someone's brother; a footballer's wife; a politician's dad.....worst line up in years. one joked it should be renamed " I'm a nonentity " etc

[Quickenthetempo]

I agree about most not being celebrities but they look to have a few characters on.
Boris's dad will stir things up if he's owt like him.

Is this crock of sh1te still on tv. It had a novelty value for a year or two when it first came out, like Big Brother, X Factor etc.

[Steve1956]

Amir Khan ......how ******* low can you stoop?

[Noble Peter]

Can you imagine in the 70's havin this with Ronnie barker on ,Eric morecombe,dick emery,jimmy hill, lester piggot, fanny craddock ,tom baker etc no I can't either they wouldn't have touched this crock of sh!t with a barge pole

[kritichris]

I can't believe people still watch this, reality TV is for people who don't have a life of their own. That goggle box thing, watching people watching TV sums it up. Get a life, get a motorbike.

The idiot will be thinking it's building his brand back up after he accused Anthony Joshua of bedding his wife not long ago and got ripped for it.

I said this to my sister a while back who was watching Big Brother - "why are you sat on a sofa in silence ....... Watching someone sat on a sofa in silence?"

Words fail me.

[claptrappers_union]

I watched one episode of this, then concluded I wasn’t moronic enough to watch another.

I don’t understand what people get from it.

The quality of ''Celebrity'' has without doubt gone down hill over the last few years.

I also wish the producers would be brave and inject some new ideas instead using the same tired formula. Last year for the first time in years my family actually enjoyed the fact that there was no arguing but the producers tried every trick in the book to stir things up and it's becoming more and more like a Big Brother argument-fest every year.

Big brother was actually bloody awesome in the first series! ..... The contestants where allowed to develop their personalities and the ’Nasty Nick’ episode when he was rumbled was fascinating viewing but all reality shows now are just a wall of noise with constant arguing.

15 years on… what are the original Big Brother line-up doing now? (this was done in 2015 but gives an update on the original BB cast .... https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/ ... doing-now/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The only reality show I look forward to now is ''The Apprentice'' but this is slowly going the same way sadly!

[NottsClaret]

It's just a bit of fun.

Plus it's a worthwhile vehicle for folk who enjoy scoffing at the shallow pursuit of 'celebrity' status, preaching into the void for three weeks about how they're above all that, while being quite furious that they've not heard of the people on the show they're definitely not watching.

[RocketLawnChair]

Virtually all TV made in this country now is the same reality or otherwise with Blue Planet providing a beacon of light. For example Eastenders as been on for over 30 years and is now on about 4 times a week but you can honestly say if you've seen one episode you've seen them all, utter utter utter regurgitated dross.

And it is generally followed by a premium rate phone number asking me to ring if I've been effected by any of the issues in tonight's episode. So if I'm ever recovering from liver failure whilst my brother is sleeping with my wife who I remarried and my son from when I got my cousin pregnant and who I didn't even know I had until he was 27 is robbing his grandma I know who to call.

Almost every motorbike owner I've ever come across has been the most boring person imaginable.

A bunch of has beens, or should i say never have beens, it really is the worst of tv, its worse than Chris Tarrants extreme railways and thats saying something, why should we made to pay for a tv licence and then be subjected to watching utter s..te. They always pick some bimbo that they think will attract a large male audience and a unknow hunk to attact females. Amir Bloody Khan, what a joke, talk about scrapping the barrel !!!!

[FactualFrank]

I sometimes watch this, but only if there aren't any 'prick list' entries on there.

So in short, I doubt I'll be watching it this year. Dennis Wise and Amir Khan is too much.

You don't pay the licence fee to watch ITV.

ITV is an example of the TV you'd get from the BBC if the licence fee was abolished

[Sausage]

Okay then, I'll be first to say it. I quite like it. It's harmless fun. I read, I watch films, I get out and about during the day. But once the kids are tucked up in bed and I've got a nice glass of red in my hand, it's good to relax with a bit of empty-headed nonsense on the magic lantern.

[bobinho]

Amir Khan ......how ******* low can you stoop?

Low enough to pick him up after he’s been sparked out by fizz? My wife takes punches better than Khan.

Last years lack of arguing was great. Made it even more enjoyable. Bet the producers were spewing.

And let’s be honest, if any of you can put your petty dislike of the very successful and talented presenters ant and dec to one side, you’d see they do a great job of it.

It’s still a sad reflection on fame itself is this lot of contestants are seen as celebrities.

You punch your wife Bob? Shame on you!

[scouseclaret]

I quite liked Minor Celebrity when it first started because, although it’s obviouslypurile rubbish, it treated the has beens, no marks and hangers on who were so desperate to get their mugs on the telly exactly how they deserved to be treated. But after a couple of series I got bored.

[expoultryboy]

Watch it on Sunday with the missus , moan all the way through it and come Monday she'll probably tell you to clear off to the pub so she can watch it in peace . Result

[tiger76]

I will probably watch the first night don't know after that, at least it's better than Big Brother, though some of the bush tucker trials are repeating, hope the producers have some imagination this series,Ant and Dec carry the show wonder how long before the Ashes is mentioned.
