I'm a celebrity... series 3.

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

23:21 / 27.01.04

I'm watching, although I don't have a whole lot to say apart from commenting on how surreal experience watching John Lydon's pale body trying to steal Ostrichs food and then blowing snot out of his nose, culminating in throwing gunk over Ant and Dec was. Possibly while rolling his eyes, continuously.

Anyone else watching? Half watching, at least.

So far Jordan has failed to annoy me, but Peter Andre has made me want to spit blood. Acid blood. In his eyes.

All in all a fun background watching idle conversation inviting show, which I've never actually watched before.

I hate to admit that I have seen quite a lot of the first two episodes of this and I agree with your views. Peter Andre is really annoying and surprisingly Jordan hasn't annoyed me yet.

Kerry McFaddons rapid meltdown is quite something to watch and I really expect her not to last the week. It would be really good though if she could turn it around. Also John Lydon seems to have taken her under his wing a bit and has been really nice to her and managed to get her to smile a few times. There was a bit in the first episode when they were looking for a rat and when he realised Kerry was really upset he dropped his act, reassured her, and cleared away some food to stop attracting animals.

John Lydon has been less annoying than I thought he would be too and seems to have a really good attitude towards the show.

Currently I'd like to see the toff win. He really seems to know who he is and be very grounded.

I met Peter Andre 'back in the day' when he, bizarrely, had a career in the music bizniz.

I was assisting on his sessions at a studio in west London, and can happily confirm that he is quite the archest of absolute twats in the entire lexicon of twattery.

He described himself, (and you have to do the accent), for no apparent reason, and to the entire room, as "Just a regular guy, fairly hardcore" and then proceeded to ask if we could fetch him "half a chicken cooked in oil, not budder!"

To which the overwhelming response was no, Peter, fuck off and get it yourself.

My anecdote for the day.

Peter Andre is indeed a virtual incendiary of twattishness, if this show's anything to go by..
I've caught it a couple of times - in a way quite disturbing viewing. Seeing Johnny Rotten pissing about in the jungle doing some celebrity TV show is like something you would have imagined years ago for a dystopian sci-fi story about the future... i'm having one of those real "fuck, we're now living in the future" moments. He does make it worth watching though - it's an inspired guest choice by the show's makers
Let me see, Celebrity series 4:
David Ike
the guy that plays Mick in Brookside
Louise Wener
Tom Baker
Ally McCoist

yeah- alright...it's fun coming up with daft lists though

I'm ashamed to admit that I was watching it. And enjoying it.

But then they voted out new-sex-object-and-almost-daddy-bear Razor Ruddock. God, he's gorgeous.

As he left, so too did my interest.

I like Jordan. She's so fine. I want to make her mi-ay-ine.

Except, her bubbies will always be a distraction. It'll be a case of 'Why don't you look at me when I'm talking to you?', and how can you answer that?

Besides, she kissed that wanky-nosed Peter 'Insania' Andre. She's tainted.

Talking of Peter Andre. The man's a genius. And he's inspired me to write my own songs. This very starry night, I am going to lay my weary body in my comfy bed and dream myself a 'mysterious' masterpiece into my memory, where I can remember it, as if it were stored in my memory, where I can remember it from. Or something or nothing.

I've always thought they should do 'I'm a celebrity nutcase, get me out of here': Syd Barrett, Lee Scratch Perry, Diamanda Galas, Alessandro Jodorowsky and Scott Walker?

Don’t have a telly, myself, but I’d gleefully tune in to ‘I’m a Radio Four voice...get me out of here”, just 24 hours a day of ambient jungle noises, with the occasional posh person saying it’s someone else’s turn to fetch the water. Starring...

Bill Nighy, Charlotte Green, Nicholas Parsons, Humphrey Lyttelton, Melanie Phillips, The lady who played Siobhan in The Archers, and Alistair Cooke.

Fraud-rat peer Lord Brocket is watchable if only because he's always trying to get his hands on Jordan. Jennii (or however you spell it) Bond irritates the hell out of me - how bad must it be for them? Andre should, and if this world is as decadently thrill-seeking as I hope, *will* be devoured by mealworms. Who's the Diane woman? And the Mike guy? I mean ... who are they?

What do they win if they win, by the way? I mean ... why do they do it?

I really hate the athlete, she's so fucking boring.

if they do well they guarantee around a year's worth of paid TV appearances. tpt turned herself into a bona-fide presenter after coming second last year. andre's going to have his most famous single rereleased if chris 'triple-burger washed down with a chicken burger' moyles has his way. general good publicity i suppose, plus twentyfive gee fee for taking part, minimum. if they get to win they know the viewers liked them best, which i think a lot of folk in the public eye think is really important. [some of] the cash raised in the phone votes goes to charity, a fact that pretty much undercuts all lydons stated reasons for leaving imo.

i miss mike read. spends his cash buying wilfred owen's personal effects and things like that y'know. i owned the board-game as a boy.

brocket and bond the toffs are my favourites now - truest anarchist of the lot and the kind of sternly refined elder lady that englishmen are helpless before.

catona and jordan are alright 'nall - liked the way they helped each other through their joint bugeater session. felt for a second that they might actually be real human beings.

and peter andre, weirdly like a seventeen year old for a man of thirty, ruled by heart and hard-on. seems sweet - wants to settle down and show the world that jordan's a nice girl really - if damaged by the fact that he was famous once but now isn't, yet wants to be again despite knowing that it's not a very seemly thing for a man his age to be worried about. bless.
