Should ITV be thinking the show should now be rested as it’s run the course, or one more year then that’s it? Could have a selection from over the years doing the finale?
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Be Rested? 118 votes
Don’t think we need a rest. Think we need a refresh.
So much of it works but it’s literally the same show every year. Even the titles are stuck in an early 00s time warp.
I actually enjoyed the South Africa series more than I expected. Thought it would be overkill but I enjoyed that things were a little different. Same with the Wales years.
I think this has been one of the better series of recent years, but the show is starting to feel very stale and repetitive now- I think Ant and Dec (the former in particular) seemed a bit checked out this year too- maybe they’re getting bored of it too. I think a way to freshen it up would be to change the setting every once in a while- the first Castle series was brilliant for that reason, despite the second one being a total dud.
i voted for yes. i love IAC but it has become so repetitive and the same stuff year after year. i think the problem is even the celebs apart from the Americans know exactly what the show involves so its not shocking to even them tbh. The thing is the first year of the castle in 2020 i really enjoyed and actually thought what a nice freshening up to the show but in 2021 it felt so stale and dull. And nothing really is shocking anymore to the celebs or the viewers, we've seen a celeb eat a kanagroos arse millions of times for 21 years. and i agree with @crispyduck1234 Ant & Dec seem not so enthuastic anymore. ive noticed they get annoyed when a celeb doesnt do a trial or moan about it and i think its probably because they think aw ffs this show has been on for 21 years now, you knew what you were signing up for!!
so like how i feel about saturday night takeaway resting after 2024, a part of me would feel sad but i think its time now tbh
It’s time this show was axed, the most series ever, millions not watching anymore. If anyone went to ITV in 2023/2024 suggesting a programme like this they would refuse it outright, but it’s a dinosaur of decades ago, and on as they do not have any other assets in the cupboard. Outdated, and has to try to get outrageous people on it to prop it up.
Saturdays ratings were disgustingly poor showing fatigue.
Give it a rest the way X factor was rested, ie permanently.
Ant & Dec are good at what they do. Noticing this year awards they are receiving less. It’s about time few different people take over. Maybe Rylan and someone else could host the show to refresh it?

You don't even watch it, and you only talk about it to complain about it. I could have written this post for you.
Disgustingly poor? You really don't read any of the responses to your posts. Either that or you just dismiss them.
They're not axing it. You're living in cuckoo land.
For years now I’ve fallen away from it very quickly - mostly because it’s the same thing every year. Shows like Love Island and IAC are losing viewers whilst fresher/ refreshed formats like The Traitors and Big Brother are going well.
Now’s the time for ITV to rest the format and bring it back in a few years, otherwise it could become a bit of a laughing stock like XFactor.
It needs a break like Big Brother has had IMO. It’s not as good as it used to be, it’s very formulaic and almost scripted at times. We used to see genuine drama and genuine interactions back in the day. It’s so obvious now that conversations are set up by producers. Even Ant and Dec aren’t as funny as they used to be on it. I do wonder what would happen if they decided to call it quits? Would ITV carry on with it?

And yet they keep winning awards for it year after year.
This is only the second time I've ever watched it and I will never watch it again, mostly because of the horrific abuse of animals. I don't care whether ITV say they look after them, you can see with your own eyes what these creatures have to endure. It's horrible.

What about animals in the wild that get stressed before being killed? Animals in the wild get killed by other animals simply because one of them wants to carry on being the leader of a group. Living things get killed, it's a fact of life.
I do think they should rest it. It is just a tired, repetitive format now. I used to like it in the early years but now only show vague interest, some years I might watch a little at the start to see what people are like when they aren't in their normal environment but usually lose interest. With the final I watched to see the final challenges were and then to see who came third and then turned over. I am also not really a fan of that they always bring a few people in a few days after the others to try and create some tension.
They need to shake things up and change the format really or rest it for a bit in my opinion. Some people probably still love it as much as ever, but there must be people like me who have lost interest over the years.
Give a rest
Would like to see a revamp of trials , only so many times you can cover someone with critters or eat a bulls anus.
Maybe make solid them more skills based, physical or logical to give different camp mates a chance.

That's a ridiculous comparison. In fact there is no comparison. It's like comparing a firework display with the stars in the sky.
I believe it needs a format change. IAC hasn't changed at all and it is stale. Some celebs 'know' how to play the game to stay for longer.
Need to not focus on certain celebrities ( e.g. Nella, Sam, Josie) but give ALL celebrities equal screen time.
For example mant times this year I turned off the show and did something else because the same celeb was onscreen and not others that I was more interested in seeing.
Maybe not giving the public control of who does the tasks if they keep choosing the same person but give someone who had little airtime to shine.
Maybe more tasks where all celebs are involved (e.g. one in water where each celeb need to move stars up maze faster than others to win place in better camp)
This year I really wanted to see more of Nick, Frankie, Marvin, Danielle as they didn't get much screen time and I really wanted to know them.
This was the 4th series in a row where I had missed a lot of eps because of how boring it became. However I think it doesn't need a break, it just needs more entertaining zelebs. It's missing the DVD, Timmy Mallet, Kim Woodburn, Lady C type of characters.

I agree although I'd prefer it to be put to sleep permanently.
Exactly.

ITV need to find another fresh format.

This was the first series I gave up on before the end - I’ve missed about the last week.
It just felt really stale to me this year..
Maybe I’m just getting old who knows!
It seems to be doing fine as it is. Winning awards every year shows that the show is still loved by people.
