Actually finding this year's series really boring and anticlimactic, a lot of rehashed stuff with no exciting personalities to shine.. haven't watched properly the past few nights.

[Drew.]

It might be for the best this year...

[MTVN]

Gave up after the second or third night, was just waiting for the shower footage mainly and then most of it was Matthew in that bloody white bikini

[Mystic Mock]

It's focusing on Joey too much.

So the ITV2 show is on and they are speaking about the Roach trip. they have mentioned Matthew ,Rebecca and Annabel so we sort of know now who won the hotel treat!! We will not see the trip trial until tomorrow, how stupid.

[Headie]

It's lacking a Sinitta or Helen or Gillian, that's why it sucks so hard this year.

I PRAY that next year will be All Stars with Helen, Sinitta, Gillian, Janice, Kim Woodburn, Stacey Solomon, George Takei, Dom Joly, Sean Ryder, Linford Christie etc.

[Saph]

Yeah, there's no big characters, just 'not-as-dull-as-others' characters

[armand.kay]

I watched the first night and I've forgotten about it, not even amy could keep me watching.

[Saph]

Why did they scrap the celebrity chest bit? :/

That and the Dingo Dollars are both flops.

[MeMyselfAndI]

There are no big characters in the whole camp

As with most years of this tripe, the best thing about the show and the only thing worth watching is Ant and Dec's links. Top quality as always.

But this year has proven beyond all doubt that I'm A Celebrity really is dreadful without your Helen's, Gillian's and Sinitta's. The trials, more importantly, are seriously dull to watch when you haven't got one of those types screaming, wailing, crying and generally being miserable and causing drama at the fact they're constantly being picked. I don't get what's up with the public this year, usually they're good at picking the best person to provide the entertainment but...Joey...isn't entertaining at them he does them well and they're eating too much which isn't beneficial for the show

The only person that's made a trial funny this year has been Annabel and to a lesser extent Vincent...can we just have her do it please?

As Hayden said though an All Stars version of this show is long overdue. They've got a pretty good back catalogue and if they got most of the stars from each series, you'd have some TV gold IMO. Worth a go next year

You can't be serious?
They're so overrated it's unreal, it's like they're doing SMTV jokes... 15 years too late. Never understood their popularity, humour for the brain dead.

And the format needs touching up. Same old, same old.
How this show thrives and BB dives (I liked that ) I'll never know!

No, I'm absolutely serious. If they weren't at the helm this show would have started failing years ago, like literally not as many people would be watching as they are now. That's just a fact, this show without Ant and Dec would be like how Big Brother on C4 without Davina wouldn't have been the same. There's barely any other reasons for this repetitive tripe of a show to be popular. They make it so, and you only have to look online every day to see that.

The self deprecation, the references to other shows, the involvement of the crew, the running jokes they end up with each year regarding a campmate ('vehy vehy sexist'/'warm salad' etc), the cameos from other crew members, Bob or other random celebrities, the involvement of props to take the piss out of something shown in the previous segment. Yeah, all much better than the bog standard 'so that was what happened this morning, here's what happened when dinner arrived' style of links. They also deliver them well and can ad lib without faltering, to deny that they're talented presenters, whether you like them or not, is just moronic.

Also, 'humour for the brain dead'? Are you ****ing for real? Has it ever crossed your mind that it's possible to have a varied sense of humour, and also have varied interests concurrently? I may enjoy Ant and Dec's presenting on a light entertainment reality TV show (hey, you're clearly watching it too), but I also enjoy Tim Minchin, Russell Brand, Ricky Gervais, watch political programmes, space documentaries and have a keen interest in sociology. But no, I'm 'brain dead' because I happen to enjoy two presenters style on some overdone TV show where their links really are the best part of the show, this is a fact. This idea that you can only like one type of comedy or one genre of TV is bizarre and if anyone lives their life like that well then you're very narrow minded

I preferred the Celebrity Chest to the Dingo Dollar Challenge, I know it's the same kinda format but I always found it hilarious when they'd gone through hours of ordeal and had to carry the heavy chest back to camp only to get the question wrong and that side of the box to unlock to reveal some blow up sex doll or something
