Re: I’m A Celebrity 2018
Well, well ..... the first episode wasn't half bad .....
No celebrity got up my nose straightaway, although Emily and Rita might .....
I thought Sair, being small, was very brave on the gantry .....
When it came to picking teams, I was very surprised that Yellow picked two ladies - one young'un and one old'un was a good choice but, for a balanced team, Nick would have been a better choice than Anne .....
The "car-parking" routine was a new way to introduce the celebrities to the realities (bugs and critters) of camp life and Nick, Fleur, Harry and Anne all did well, fighting their phobias.....
The skydiving was quite scary, but we've seen some real screamers in the past .....
When Malique was chosen by the Reds, the physical advantage of the Reds became overwhelming and, with Harry's organisational skills, the team easily won the lake challenge while the Yellows were scuppered by a decision to put Anne in the canoe, while the Reds had left John in the water at the back .....
Interestingly, the Reds not only gained access to "luxurious" Crock Creek but also immunity from the first two BTTs, the first of which is the "Viper Pit", which Emily has to face .....
All of the ladies of the Yellow team confessed to being out of their depth but Anne is suffering most and, IMO, I can't see how she will cope with the rigours camp life - no privacy, starvation and minimal hygiene facilities, along with persistent attacks from critters and bugs .....
Regarding the vegans, Fleur and James have ended up on rice and beans but Sair's supper was emu - maybe she just ate the veg .....
I've not seen Holly presenting before, but I was very impressed - it's not easy "filling in" and she was a bit nervous, but she wasn't too "forward" or loud so I'll probably get to like her .....
