I'M A CELEBRITY, GET ME OUT OF HERE---2009

[mariana44]

That's Ok Mark--I did not take your comments as criticism---and I cannot stand "Big Brother" either--I do not always watch "I'm a celebrity"--this is my 3rd one.

I must admit I've watched quite a lot of this series of I'm A Celebrity", I think this has been one of the best. I actually quite like Kim, I think she has done well with the tasks.
I can't stand Big Brother either.

[Mark Fox]

I'm also no fan of the house hunting shows-especially the dreadful Kate Allsop and her ilk!
Andrew Marr's HISTORY OF BRITAIN,COAST,FLOG IT,are about all I can stomach!

[ROBERT M.]

So the King of the jungle Gino De'Campo and Stuart Manning are being taken to court by the Australian RSPCA for animal cruelty................this after they caught, killed, cooked and ate a Rat .............they have to appear in court next February ....................but what about all the other hundreds or even thousands of small insects and bugs that were "murdered" during the show ...............ITV have yet to make a response.

[john]

Exactly, Robert.

[mariana44]

They were very hungry---is what they did any different to any of us eating chicken, lamb , beef , etc ??

[Marian]

Yes, it is the way the animal was killed that is what the animal welfare society are objecting to. Also the fact that the rat was tame and used to human contact.
I blame the programme makers more than the celebrities. They knew the facts and could have stopped the whole incident happening when they saw what the celebs were intending to do.
I also agree about all the other creatures that are wiped out during this series. I'm sure they could think of other trials to test the competitors other than those involving critters!
Hell Hill for example - hilarious!

[ROBERT M.]

Hell Hill IS my favourite Bushtucker Trial Marian, but this year's was not as good as previous years ..................how cruel is it when Gino had to eat a live c o c k roach ...........poor c o c k roach

[Mark Fox]

Not the first time Gino has been in trouble with the law. It seems an obligatory requirement of(so-called)celebrities!

[mariana44]

I had not realised it was a tame rat.

(In a fake Manuel-Spanish-Waiter type accent)
"No, is not rat, is hhhhamster!"

(Sorry, couldn't resist it)

[Gray]

I've done it again, haven't I?
Killed a perfectly good thread stone dead.

[Marian]

Just like the Celebrity rat!
Not at all Gray! I was just trying to think of some reply that was nearly as funny. I couldn't think of anything....RATS!!!!
