Well we're in to week two of the Speidi quit-a-thon, and Spencer and Heidi have said goodbye to "I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here" for the third, and apparently final time. Last night we got an inside peak at the couples' alleged torture session in the Costa Rican jungle; they spent a night in the spider-infested "lost chamber" as punishment for their first attempt to quit the show, but Heidi couldn't take it and had to be flown to San Jose to seek medical treatment.
Although don't let it be said their trip was all for naught—Spencer admitted Costa Rica was worth the trek because he did get baptized in the river by Stephen Baldwin—they did get the exposure they wanted. Spencer even admitted, "I guess this is what we deserve for being little crybabies." And for the first time, America agreed with Spencer Pratt. ]]>
The D-Listers (and let's be honest, a few sub-D-listers) parachuted into the Costa Rican Jungle last night for the debut episode of "I'm Spencer Pratt, Make Me Stop Talking." Errr, "I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here."
While we're in it mostly for the glamour shots of volcanoes and iguanas, we have to admit it's hard not to enjoy watching Patti Blagojevich getting whisked away by a rapid river and Janice Dickinson doused with unidentified "jungle slime." But a few distractions aside, the first episode was, unsurprisingly, all about our old friends Heidi and Spencer. ]]>
Sick and tired of recessionomics and staycations, America is in dire need of distraction by a good D-Listy celebrity travel show, and boy is NBC coming through for us.
Starting next week, the new season of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here will air live from the Costa Rican jungle, with viewers getting to choose which harrowing challenges to dump on what looks like the most villainous reality show cast yet.
Heidi and Spencer from The Hills will be conniving against American Idol's Sanjaya, Stephen Baldwin, Lou Diamond Phillips, wrestler Torrie Wilson, retired basketball star John Salley and Janice "I'll go on any reality show" Dickinson. The last addition to the cast is Patti Blagojevich, the former first lady of Illinois, who filled in for her disgraced husband Rod when a judge ruled he couldn’t leave the country, even for as important a matter as this. ]]>
