No, Rhona is the only one of the whole sad sorry bunch, I've got any time for, and the only reason I watched this program in the first place

I'd say it would be far from ruined. If anything she will be more in demand as "That gobby, controversial Comedian off that program". Good luck to her but, my diary is full so I won't be attending.

So it's bias rather than irony then. Makes your review of the others a little unfair given you had already made up your mind about them.

The only person I can see being in danger of ruining his rep. is Darren - he may see himself as a man of the people, but his income seems to have been derived from his image as the mainstream successor to Cliff Richard - somewhat different from being Nigel Benn's bitch in the jungle...

My take on them.

Tara. Well, I really didn't like her before, and while I didn't waste my money voting, I was well chuffed at her having to be"wormed on". However, now I'm really starting to like her. This seems to be a common opinion too.
Rating VERY UP

Uri. Always considered him a weirdo. Now I consider him even more so.
Rating STILL A LOONY

Christine. Find her very entertaining and a great laugh, but perhaps a bit too mothery and sour when backed into a corner. Still see her this way
Rating: UNCHAGED

Tony. Always considered him a 7th rate celeb, now, well I remain somewhat unfased by him. Good spat with Uri, though.
Rating: SLIGHTLY UP

Rhona. Always considered her a slightly below par "comedienne". Never knew she was a lesbian, or if i did, I forgot. However, now you can't watch her for 5 minutes without her bizarre rants about it in some way
Rating: COME BACK VANESSA ALL IS FORGIVEN!!!! (IE SHE SUCKS)

Nell. Never really paid attention to her before this. Might pay a bit more attention to her if she did something. Is she even in the show?
Rating: WHO???

Nigel. Never been into most boxers, Frank Bruno would have been a better choice though. He's somehwat arrogant and opinionated, but quite harmless
Rating: DOWN A BIT

Darran. Always viewed him as a wishy washy goody two shoes. Opinion's gone up a bit, but he's a bit of a moaner
Rating: UP A BIT IN A BIZARRE WAY

I'm starting to wonder if that's not actually her cunning plan.
After all, as they say, all publicity is good publicity. And that's one thing she's really lacking in (due to being crap, no doubt).

Funny that - You can pick up a lot on people's biases.

Meaning?

Rhona may have ruined her reputation. Will anybody apart from people who follow her believe she is funny?

I don't think Nigel has done himself any favours as he appears dogmatic at times but I don't think it will ruin his overall reputation.

Judging from some of the comments on here Darren's not too popular either...all he has done has defended himself against someone he doesn't like, he seems to blend with the rest of the group fairly well.

Nell seems like a lovely gentle girl, I can't imagine that would harm her in the long run.

Tony...a bit wimpy really but is fairly upfront when he has something to say.

Christine's reputation seems to be on the up and up anyway.

Uri...eek. Lecherous.

I think (and hope) Tara's rep has improved, and I want her to win. Christine may win it though which I wouldn't mind as I quite like her funnily enough.

She doesn't suck - she's a lesbian. They do something else entirely

And what, pray tell, is that then? Tell me all!

weird really how 2 people can have different opininos on one, but the same on another

Mr_Ray Likes Tara, doesnt like Rhona, tolerates Nigel
Myself I LIke Rhona, Like Tara, Dislike Nigel.

I wonder if our opinion of people reflects how we are ourselves?. could some psychologist give an accurate accounn of our personalities, just be reviewing what we think of various contestants?.

NELL - My favourite of the bunch. Extremely down to Earth and natural. Doesn't want to get involved in any of the spats. I'm pretty sure will triumph... She reminds me a lot of the Brookie girl on Celeb BB. RATING: +++++ (UP)

TONY - A couple of bricks short of a mental home... *Really* slow. Falling for that mobile phone prank... But seems a gentle man, doesn't impose his views on other people. RATING: - (DOWN)

CHRISTINE - A charming lady. Devil in a blue dress? Could well be. She knew precisely what she was doing when she told Rhona about Nigel's "Christian beliefs". However, a very diplomatic lady who does attempt to diffuse sticky situations. RATING: +++1/2 (UP)

TARA - What an act. Absolutely phony. Her baby talk *is* unbelieveably irritating. I admired her in the maggot shower... I don't think I could take even *standing* in the amount of bugs she had to squirming around her feet. I do get the impression she's a sly snake, stirring sh*t in her couldron with Nigel and Darren... RATING: - (For me, DOWN, General perception will be positive)

NIGEL - Bigoted, brutish, violent and intimidating. He will be the first to go, undoubtedly. Really nasty piece of work. Imagine the outrage if someone on the show masqueraded their personal prejudices as "religious beliefs" and said it's a sin to be black... RATING: - - - - - (DOWN DOWN DOWN)

RHONA - She tried so hard to be rational with Nigel early on (lets have a quick conversation)... She does have diplomacy skills but she's been pushed to breaking point. I really don't feel her career will be damaged by this... I'd certainly pay to see her new material in regards to a certain boxer... RATING: +++ (UP)

URI - Just slimey. Asks far too many personal questions without the trust needed for such personal trysts. Is he hoping to become the next Ricki Lake?! Just... eugh!! RATING: - - (DOWN)

I'm not sure many of the celebrities will have a big difference on their careers now.
Nell, if she wants to be more well-known, will possibly make the biggest success.

But they're doing this for charity ------------------------------ aren't they?

I do wonder though if there'll be a I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of here Too! (Two)

???

???

I hope theres a second series (and I'm ashamed to say it!) However, it'll prob. be a bit like BB2, lots of Dean & Elizabeth types who won't rock the boat because they've learned from the Nicholas and Caggies...

It'll be interesting to see what happens in Celebrity BB2. In many ways it remains far more embarrassing (although not as nasty) than this show. Vanessa's psychological collapse remains one of the weirdest things I've ever seen on TV. I can still see Claire Sweeny change from soap bitch to human being - "Big Broother, I'm wooried about Vanessa"...

Think after tonight a bit of revisionism is needed here!

Crocodile DarrenDay - well, all I can say is before the show I thought he was famous for musicals and breaking off engagements, I truly had no idea he was less than a year out of drug rehab - was this tabloid news or is this a sudden embarrassing revelation? Oops! Of course, turns out he's a mockney rebel from 'the street' (Primrose Crescent, Colchester) and comes across as auditioning for Lock Stock and Three Smoking Barrels. Career irreperably damaged, unless Guy Ritchie suffers a hysterical whatnot. Relationship irreperably damaged (Adele might want to check with Anna Friel, Tracey Shaw, Isla Fisher etc). Rehab irreperably damaged, do not buy a Big Issue from this man.

Wicked Uncle Uri Geller - came into this as the weird discredited friend of weird discredited playdoh-faced Michael Jackson, so expectations not high. Even The Matrix has had a pop at him - "there is no spoon". Spent first few days finding excuses to fondle women - well, I'd do the same if I could get away with it, but nonetheless the cameras (and the public) tend to notice this sort of thing. Got MJ's birthday wrong (everyone knows it's the same day Skynet declared war on humanity!). Then he gave up 30 years of vegetarianism and killed & ate live bugs, when most people in his position would have held out for a hot bacon sandwich. Still think his jedi powers act is ludicrous but think I'm a sudden unexpected convert to what a Positive Mental Attitude can actually achieve for you, because I sure as hell wouldn't have eaten any of it, even the innocent-looking plum-shaped-fruit, in case it tasted a bit tart. Career - think the cutlery-mangling act should be quietly retired, but put it this way, on the basis of the bugs bit alone, I think with the right positive mental attitude Exeter City now finally have a shot at the cup.

Tara Parker-Bowles-Tomlinson-Whatever. Came into this as the person who was once reported as going on holiday, prompting a letter to the same paper questioning "as opposed to what exactly?". Don't think anyone expected her to shine. Has come across as marvellously likeable in short doses, if not exactly reliable, dependable, robust, consistent etc - I do think we could all do with more people in our lives to wear bunny ears and make up silly poems, even though you wouldn't trust her with a secret, or even trust her to post a letter. I do think evolution has somehow made me biologically programmed to feel protective of her even though she's almost exactly the same age as me. Would like to have a friend like her so long as she didn't know my phone number, address, workplace or real surname. "Career" was basically ex-cokehead society exile, so even worst case "that thick/thin bird off the telly" is career advancement.

Nigel Benn - a walking advertithement for Ithlam. If thith ith what Chrithtianity ith all about in the 21tht Century then you're better off out of it. Letth jutht forget all the bitth about forgiveneth and turning the other cheek and conthentrate on the bitth about thmiting the wicked. Hith wife mutht be tho proud at how he bravely defeated the thhort thcotth woman. Career - well, he's retired, so can't really see how it affects him - he goes home, the iron gates clang shut, and life goes on.

Rhona Cameron - Guess it's hard to come into this labelled a "comedienne" because we're all sitting around saying "so go on then, say something funny". Think in a different show with a snappier more savvy crowd she might have pulled it off but she blatantly simply does not know how to deal with the likes of Darren and Nigel, and yet equally doesn't know how to deal with the benign likes of Tony and Nell either, so any attempt at humour is met with either total indignant affront or total blank incomprehension and hence falls flat, e.g. the Woody Allen "Bananas" pastiche act "You must drink eight bottles of water, and report after each bottle of water so we can give you a round of applause". This is the toughest crowd she's had to face since the Wigan Empire Working Men's Club mistook her for the stripper and chose to unite in a chant of "get your tits out for the lads". Career - can be salvaged if she gets out and does a funny interview with e.g. Jonny Vaughan who knows when to laugh. Is flailing badly the longer she sticks it out with these monkeys.

DJ Tony Poptabulous Blackburn - Afraid to say, there's a guy in real life that I know who looks so incredibly like Tony Blackburn now looks that I am unable to form any kind of meaningful opinion that would mean anything to other people. Sorry James! Has also retired and is therefore immune from serious career harm. Would fully expect this man to swap prize cow for three "magic" beans. In relation to his career prospects I am interested in contacting him for an unmissable investment opportunity.

Christine Hamilton - Run Louis Run! Sarn't Major Christine, Mother Hen, has not only done her own career a power of good (according to IMDb, TPT was one of her guests on The Christine Hamilton Show) but even Neil's coming out of it well... wonder if his PA fees are going to the same charity she's adopted?

Nell McAndrew - came into this famous for playing a fictional computer generated action figure, hoping to raise her profile and maybe get some presenting work. Will go out of it hoping and praying there's another Lara Croft sequel planned. And probably win outright due to failing to be voted out due to viewer apathy. Looks terrific even first thing in the morning without makeup, but no presenting career for you, Nell, I think.

Very funny

Fantastic, thanks for that. Very funny, and also quite true mostly.

ok heres what i think of them

Christine
generally the calming influence of the group, also seems to hold things together (well try to!), seems to be a good member of the group always doing her part and trying to get on well with everyone

Tony
i like tony, he is definately one of the peace makers trying to hold things together and is quite a funny guy, trying to see the bright side of things, he also seems very mellow and always seems to keep his cool, so far deinatley one of the better behaved celebs
i must say he seems to have aged a bit since goin in there but then again being in a confined space with that group of people could age anyone!

Tara
the way she is constantly sucking up to darren really annoys me, i say stuff him he isnt worth it, it seems she has to have darrens approval for anything, really annoying, she did go up in my opinion a little for being nice to rhona and giving her the pedicure but then she just spoiled it by saying nasty things about rhona just to keep darren happy
having said that, sometimes she is quite likeable

Darren
he just really annoys me and just about everyone else too, he is like a 5 year old or something and he just always seems to want to argue and will make a war from the tiniest thing, also most annoyingly he just thinks he is great and loves himself way too much and of course his attitude is just completly wrong, also i dont like the way he is always going on about being a love rat, is that really something to be proud of? oh and he has the got the second challenge to do too! excellent 2 in a row, thank you so much to everyone who voted for him!

Nell
well who knows she is so quiet, i quite like her, she is nice looking but just dont really know yet

Nigel
Basically i think that nigel is a bit of a thug and a bully too, also he just seems to rely on threats of violence too much, he just seems to have a really short fuse and seems to have very little diplomacy or reasoning skill, still i like him more than darren but still not very much, my opinion of him went up a little when he made up with rhona but i doubt that will last

Uri
hmm a strange one indeed!, i do respect him a little for completing his food challenge (with him being a vegetarian) its all down to the PMA Positive mental attitude! and some of the things he says are quite funny not to mention what he does too

rhona
she is my favourite out of the bunch, she actually seems to be the most intelligent there and also seems to be dealing with being out there quite well as well as doing in my opinion a very good job of standing up to nigel and darren instead of being submissive like other people, she has a very strong personality which i think is great and even seems quite friendly when darren and nigel arent about

Definately !

Probably relationships too !

Do you think they know what is being broadcast ?

Britain's Number One Love Rat - even beat Will Carling, apparently...
