I'm A Celebrity... 9 UK - Camilla quits, Joe arrives

Episode 4 - Wednesday 20th November

Every year there is a live bushtucker trial, and this years will be hold in today's episode. As usual the public vote for who they want to do it, and as usual they will probably vote for the same person they have voted for all week.

More on that later, firstly, the show starts off with a segment about Kim's very loud snoring. Well she's loud in every other aspect, there was no reason to think that her snoring would be any different.

The next part of the episode is highlights of Katie's bushtucker trial, Celebrity In A Bottle. She had to lie down inside a giant glass bottle and correctly answer six questions about Australia. In the bottle with her were 2 buckets of meal worms, 60,000 cockroaches and 10,000 crickets. She got 3 questions correct which meant she won 6 meals out of 12 for camp.

The next segment featured Kim going on at Katie about how much Katie loved publicity (stating the obvious there), then Stuart and Sabrina did the celebrity chest and showed how rubbish they are at maths.

Then we got to the first celebrity to exit the camp this year. Camilla decided that she would walk because she was feeling too weak to continue. No-one seemed to try and persuade her to stay (not even the producers) and so she left the show almost immediately. Camilla's departure isn't much of a blow - in fact she had been so much in the background that had they have not shown her departure it could have been days before I noticed she was missing.

The next segment dealt with the arrival of Camilla's replacement. His name is Joe Bugner and he is a retired former heavyweight world boxing champion.

The final 40 minutes of the show are taken up with the live trial. Joe was immune from the vote as a new contestant. The hosts read the results and guess what.... yes, the public have voted that Katie will do the trial (Justin again received the second highest number of votes).

Now the first year that this voting pattern happened it was really funny to see the same person being picked on by the public day after day. But now it's got to the point where it is just boring. I want to see some of the others doing the trials.

Anyway, we get to see Katie being covered in goo and insects yet again.

The trial is split into different parts and takes the form of a school classroom theme.

1) She has to put her face in green goo.
2) She has to put her face in a tray full of meal worms (the point of the goo part was so that the meal worms now stick to her face)
3) Collect 3 words from a sphere which was full of snakes
4) Get into a pool of baby crocodiles (that had their mouths tied closed)
5) Drink a beetle juice shake
6) Pour liquid from a test test into a container whilst wearing gloves filled with green ants
7) Get into a pool of eels and solve a maths equation
8) Put on a coat which is filled with cockroaches

She did well at the trial and scored 9 out of 12, meaning 9 meals for camp. The ones she failed on were parts 5 and 7, she also got 1 out of 2 in part 6.


Episode 5 - Thursday 21st November
I guess the producers realised that the show was getting rather boring - no major fights or tension and no major talking points. So today they decided to split the camp into two and turn it into a bit like Survivor.

Before that we were shown clips of Joe's first morning in camp, then a repeat of yesterdays live trial. Then were were treated to a conversation from Kim telling Justin to have his moles removed from his face. After that it moved onto Katie and her personal life and then how horny Gino is in camp.

Finally we get onto the camp split. Two team captains are chosen at random and they are Colin and Lucy. They then have to choose who they want on their team and the split is

Colin's Team - Colin, Justin, Katie, Sabrina, Jimmy and Joe
Lucy's Team - Lucy, Gino, Stuart, George, Sam and Kim

Next comes the immunity battle. The winning team will be immune from the first eviction and will live in base camp. The losing team won't have immunity and will live in Exile, which will be even more of a dump than base camp was.

The challenge is a classic survivor challenge. Each contestant holds a pole and has to keep a button pressed. They last one remaining will win immunity from their team.

Gino is out first, followed by Justin. In the end it is Sabrina and Stuart. After over 2 hours Stuart suffers from severe cramp and Sabrina is the winner. Sabrina, Colin, Justin, Katie, Jimmy and Joe are immune from the first elimination. The other team will get chances to win individual immunity in the coming days.

The episode ends with the results of the next Bushtucker trial. It's called Hell Holes Extreme and George and Kim are immune on medical grounds again. Gino and Katie get the most votes and yes, you've guessed it, Katie got the highest votes and will do the trial. We'll see that on Friday's episode.
