'The Bugs Don't Work'
Well, they don't, do they?
Not anymore they don't... Not only is it bloody cruel to mix and smash and crush different species...(a toad and spider sitting on Moffat's head? Why? Because they didn't WANT to be in that bloody water). But also...the 'celebs' walked through the trials like they weren't there. Even big girls-blouse Adam was indifferent to them by trial 3.......... So its time to say 'no' to the use of bugs.....they don't work anymore... Right? |

Even without the cruelty aspect, it's just not entertaining. I usually do something else while the trials involving bugs/animals are on. Everyone I know hates it as well.

It's when they insist on putting rats in water, they obviously do it so the rats climb onto people to get out of the water. I've had pet rats for many years, they spend hours grooming themselves, they don't want to be thrown into a dirty water pit.
I always cringe at the end of a rat trial, when the celebrities are climbing out of the coffin or whatever, i don't want any rats to get fractured tails or legs with being stepped on. |

Fear of something that can kill makes perfect sense but the creatures used in the trials can't do that. I think that ear plugs should be provided though. Better still, stop pouring bugs over celebs instead of setting up better trials. I've handled snakes, rats and one big spider,almost as big as my hand. Spider was someone's pet. There's just no need for a screamfest, over some harmless critters. |

That really bothers me, too. I don't understand the celebs' hysteria about tame rats at all, particularly as those rats won't have Weil's disease. The snakes in trials aren't poisonous, won't throttle the celebs and the bigger crocs have their jaws tied closed,poor beggars.

TRUTH IS THE SCARIEST TRAIL BY FAR WAS THE 'WALK THE PLANK' trial half of them did on top of that building on day 1. I'm all for celebs being paid to take real risks. I don't see squashing cockroaches and mealworms as anything other than mind-numbing cruelty.

![]() We got a puppy and she grew up with them, every evening the pup would go and call for this rattie, she would wait for him to climb out of his cage and they would cause havoc around the house, running up and down the stairs, raiding my carrier bags, just had a blast playing together.

This Verve thread is hilarious!
Are the contestants given instructions not to touch the snakes and rats? If that was me in there, I'd gently remove them from my face or neck, but nobody ever does this. I agree that it's cruel to mix up all the species, snakes upon rats upon spiders upon cockroaches. The bugs are definitely getting old. |

I think its because they know what their letting themselves in for now so that's why it doesn't have the same effect as they did in the earlier years, also as said the trails are not hard enough so the camp this year had it easy as they did get all the stars most of the time and no one said I'm a celeb get me out of here or refuse to do a trial, should be made more challenging next series
