Celebrity Cyclone is amazing, why can't they have another 2 or 3 trials like that which involve the group?”


Celebrity Cyclone is the pinnacle of the whole show and everyone loves it. Is it completely beyond the wit of the producers to create more endurance trials then we could get rid of the critters and creatures permanently. I think they have enough wildlife in the camp to deal with - although we see little footage of reactions of camp-dwellers to their environment and I suspect there might be good mileage in showing it.

I think the real problem is the contestants are so boring. They are all too willing and competitive. Makes for very boring viewing when they all just lay stiff and quiet in a box of bugs

We will get a lot of bug trials as they seem to be the only ones Scarlett can do

I would rather see Dingo Dollars and Chaos Keith at least they are entertaining and dont have to have either Scarlett being 'brave' or Adam screaming like a little girl

I think the critter trials are very limited: either eat, or lay in a box, or put your hand in. But I suppise they get a good reaction out of the celebs (Paul Burrell its a snaaakeee). I just hate when the animals can seem stressed......I cant remember who it was but one celeb, couple years ago maybe, was actually flicking and chucking rats about to get the star and Ant and Dec had to sternly say "beeee GENTILE!!!"

But yes, we need more varied trials this year. I like teamwork trials, Gino and Stu's in particular. Would love more communicative/endurance style ones. Ones were the celebs can have a good laugh and enjoy themselves too

The Cannon & Ball team trial (on wires I believe) had me crying with laughter.

I don't like living creatures being used and wish they would stop.

I dont think the pool is used enough, what about the trial that Foggy done, surely they can use it with 2 people.

They're overdone more every year, tedious and predictable and some of them are downright cruel. I assume they're cheaper.
I enjoy trials like Joel's far more and I think it's the only one which didn't involve creatures alive and dead or ingesting them.
One of my favourites was Carol Thatcher having to drive a jeep over two separate single tracks suspended way up high and she tried to set off without a safety harness. Definitely a sandwich short of a picnic and up for anything.

nor me...never have!!
I would rather one of the creatures eat scarlett or adam alive tbh...
though actually the only laugh I've had this year was adam's pantomime screaming, bro..
otherwise the others all seem too 'knowing' about critter this stuff....

That trial was one of the best. I also loved the Carol Thatcher driving one that's been mentioned. Not much memorable up to know on this series.

I'm not even sure why they go to the jungle every year.

Jungle is not in the title of the show.

sorry I should have said about the Jungle bar lol. Having said that, I really laughed at tonight's episode but not down to the trial. Martin, like or loathe him was so funny. edit "Wrong number" It made me laugh.

Agree there have been some really good trials. The production team I fear have got Lazy now with their ideas or greedy cost cutting.

And that's the other really memorable one. Brilliant stuff. They could EASILY do underwater/dark underground etc. tasks without the addition of the creatures. Those tasks require skill and speed anyway so why bother.
