Did you people see the same film I saw?

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Why do millions of people watch this junk?! It's one of the worst shows on British television. The 'celebrities' are usually desperate people who either used to be famous and are trying to make a comeback - or are Z-listers who are trying to become famous. Most of them are dull or narcissistic and are not entertaining to watch. The tasks often involve eating animal genitalia.

This successful reality TV format first attracted high viewing figures in the U.K back in 2002 (when Tony Blackburn was crowned the first "king of the jungle"). Since then, a further half dozen U.K series have attracted increasingly higher viewing figures and the format's been adopted both in the U.S and in Germany.It's essentially Celebrity Big Brother in a more interesting location, with more challenging tasks as a result of this change of setting. Instead of a house and garden with futuristic furniture, a dozen celebrities (of varied/no acclaim - another tongue in cheek draw) are paid a minimum of about £20K to spend a few weeks in an Australian jungle that's had all deadly venomous elements removed beforehand.Apathetic couch potatoes watch the whole show and extras avidly. People with more get-up-and-go only turn "mute" off for Ant n' Dec's barely rehearsed links (not a criticism - they're often funny) and the real ratings winner - the bushtucker trial. Once they run out of decent variations for the latter (suggestedly soon if rehashed tasks in the current series are anything to go by), the show will struggle to be recommissioned.

It's that time of year. Big Brother is long over so all other copy-cat reality- turn your brain to mush- programs come crawling out of the wood work to secure ITV1's finances for the next 200 years. This one is probably the most watchable out of this seasons offerings (Celebraty Love Island was a new low point in the history of television) but it's still the same old-same old. Ten or so 'celebraties' (I use the term VERY loosely) are dumped in the 'Austrailian Jungle' (most likely a set behind Woolies in South London) and made to 'fend for themselves' when they are put in 'dangerous situations' (with a team of First Aiders stood by, of course). I have watched one or two of the episodes this year and they failed to hold my interest. My advise, don't watch it. You'll probably get addicted to it and it'll rule your life for 4 or 5 weeks until it finishes and you'll forget about it.Watch "Life In The Undergrowth" instead.

This is probably the second best reality show I know (after Big Brother). They put ten-twelve celebrities and dump them in the middle of an Australian jungle, there is a camp where they eat and sleep. Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly host this show, and they also tell the celebrities who is doing the special Bushtucker trials and who is leaving, and make good gags. They have had some good celebrities, but most of the time we don't know them, they just want to boost their careers. They have had: Siân Lloyd, Christine Hamilton, Uri Gellar, Nell McAndrew, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, winner Tony Blackburn, Daniella Westbrook, Toyah Willcox, Anthony Worrall Thompson, John Fashanu, winner Phil Tufnell, Jordan (Katie Price) and Peter Andre (who are now married), Johnny "Rotten" Lydon, Jennie Bond, winner Kerry Katona (McFadden), Natalie Appleton, Paul Burrell, winner Joe Pasquale, David Dickinson, Jimmy Osmond, Sid Owen, Sheree Murphy, winner Carol Thatcher, Toby Anstis, Jason Donovan, David Gest, Myleene Klass, winner Matt Willis and many more. Jordan (Katie Price) was number 2 on The 100 Worst Britons, the programme was number 40 on The 100 Greatest Funny Moments, it was number 6 on ITV: 50 Greatest Shows, and it has been on all 100 Greatest TV Treats programmes so far. Outstanding!
