Question Has I’m a Celeb ran it’s format dry?

The premiere was so vanilla. Just not the same as big bro, every single year it’s exactly the same. Everyone so nicey nice and just so dull to watch! I wanted to watch this year but the location change just isn’t doing it for me. From the get go it’s clear Shane or Jordan have it in the bag- bring back the days of Janine Butcher VS Ashley Roberts 51/49% finale vote!

I just think they need to cast more celebs like Kim Woodburn/Lady C/Gillian McKeith or this show is so dull. Even the trials nowadays ae less and less interesting to watch. BB is so much more intense and Celebs go on more of a journey, the Parilympian (who?), Happy mum happy baby and AJ (maybe) are just going to be lost in this and early boots. Such a snooze-fest. Agree or disagree?

It’s literally exactly the same except for it being stone walls instead of trees...

It’s the polar opposite in my opinion.

I’m already close to giving up on it and I reality like most of the participants.

It’s just too dark and grim and confined for my liking anyways

Erm... the format is the exact same. The setting might be different, but the show is not.

It went stale at least 6 years ago for me. Haven't watched a full series for a long time.

I always start and then stop a few episodes in.

Format is exactly the same, some dingy castle isn’t swaying me soz.

It's been stale for a while. I think the key is in the casting really.

Like some series have had bigger names and been dull and then they cast random weirdos like Lady C and the series gets good

This much is true though and I largely agree with the rest

The happy clappy kumbaya nonsense where everyone gets 9/10 stars and they all get along, cheered on by viewers who think that’s great TV, needs to stop

The 2015 series was one of the best for a reason

Whether a format is good is entirely subjective.

Don't care what ratings it gets.

It’s all down to opinion ..

I much prefer to watch a nice group of mixed personalities getting on with each other .

I hate confrontation or unpleasantness or even people who love conflict.

I agree with you that it's good to have a mix of personalities on the Show, but that's something that every Show (even scripted Shows) should be aiming for anyway.

I do however find a Show dull if there's no conflict whatsoever. With the exception of the Talent Shows of course.

We all experience conflict / stress/ bullying of one kind or another ( to varying degrees) in our daily lives though ..

But TV isn't real life though.

For example I wouldn't want half of the things that happened on GOT to happen in real life, but for the Show itself it made for great TV.

IAC obviously isn't GOT, but like all TV Shows it'll need a bit of conflict to remain interesting for my tastes anyway.

I think there will be quite a lot of tension in this series. The acold weather isnt going to help

Potential hot heads:

Vernon
Shane
Beverly
Victoria

I don't think Beverly is a hot head in the slightest. She's more likely to burst into tears.

I haven’t watched a full series since 2016 (which itself was terrible). The problem is the casting; they cast for a ‘wholesome’ ‘family’ camp vibe and it’s dull as dishwater television. Unfortunately it gets high viewing figures year on year (for reasons I do not know why) so I think we’ll have this format around for years to come.
