I've no intention of voting for anybody, in my current financial situation it would be a waste of money. I'll let everyone else decide who's in from week to week.

But after it took me a couple of weeks to get into it - I really felt fatigued after the celeb girls-only show - Sunday's prog got me back into it again with, for different reasons, Ray, Todd and Frankie.

A bit off-topic, now, but I do agree with your views on the other shows, though. I used to love I'm A Celeb, but haven't watched since 2005. It's the repetition of the same formula year after year that makes these shows tired. I didn't watch a second of CBB, but had to laugh when, over the course of the three weeks, I saw headlines in the 'official paper' Daily Star:
'COOLIO IN BB RACE ROW'
then a week later 'ANOTHER BB RACE ROW'
and finally last week 'ULRIKA IN NEW BB RACE ROW'.

How desperate were they to reheat the soufflé of publicity that 'Shilpagate' gave the show two years ago?
The reality that I found was that this CBB attracted very little interest, I hardly heard anyone talking about it, and most people I know stopped watching after a few days.

DoI initially looked set to go the same way this year, but I think Toddmania and Ray's performances, plus the brilliant Frankie's task to improve Ellery, have finally given the 2009 show a personality of its own.

It's only fun, nothing too serious! Healthy competition, that's all.

I'm sure he's been called worse than that in his time!

Definately agree with this comment. All the other celebs between these two are of a comparable (mundane) level, it made the lengthy show on sunday very dull. I cant wait till the number of contestants has been whittled down.

As an aside, some people bang on about Jessica, but given her headstart she is bound to be a little more competent on the ice than some. I don't think she has Ray's natural talent though and can easily be caught in standard by the other skaters...well, bar Todd naturally
