I’m A Celebrity 2009 – Day 13 Liveblogged!

I'm A Celebrity logoAfter a literally vomit-inducing task last night (you never looked better, Kim), we’re back for some more culinary adventures courtesy of those psychotic producers of I’m A Celebrity.

And it looks like the post-Jordan peace has finally broken. Who’s in the middle of this catfight? Sabrina and Woodburn, naturally. Not taking sides, but I’m pretty sure whatever it was, it was Kim’s fault. Here we go…

Actually, it looks like the root cause is that the three potential evictees are nervous about getting booted tonight. The tension’s bubbling over after the phone lines got re-opened for Jimmy, Sam and Sabrina.

Jimmy, by the way, is the favourite to go tonight. Dull snooker players finish last and all that. I’m joking of course, but some of the foliage in the camp has shown more charisma than Mr White.

Jimmy volunteers for the next bushtucker trial. Ain’t that a laugh? Suddenly he wants to be on screen! And Sabrina steps forward as well. Ah…Jimmy has a wee snipe to Sabrina that if she does well on the task, she’ll get voted back in.

Kim, who’s business this isn’t, decides that Jimmy should do the task, despite Sabrina being selected. Clearly she’s got the right motives – she wants Jimmy to have a fair crack at the whip and give people a reason to vote for him. I think Sabrina sees the logic of that too – and wants a few votes for herself. Ambitious girlie :)

Kim and Sabrina blow up an argument, and Kim’s hyperpolite rambling gets Sabrina all wound up. But Kim veers between apologising, then throwing “Well luvvie, I’m not gonna kiss yer arse” at her. But to be fair to Kim, it does look like a bit of game-playing on both parts.

Jimmy’s Task

Having wrangled the bushtrucker trial off Sabrina, Jimmy gets to don a tight red lycra jumpsuit for the task. Jimmy gets a bit of pre-task propaganda about how much he’d love to stay to the end of the series (aka Please Vote For Me). Poor Jimbo, sad that it took so long for his competitive side to show through.

The task isn’t a fun one for anybody with vertigo – Jimmy has to climb up over a weird rope ladder thingy suspended over a massive drop. Don’t look down! As he does this, he has to smash the stars hanging around this bizarre frame. I’m not great with heights and even watching this is making me dizzy!

Ant makes a joke about Jimmy in the tight red leotard, but misses an opportunity to mention either balls or cues. Shameful waste of dirty joke.

Another twist – if Jimmy doesn’t get to the stars in time, they drop to the ground. He gets to the end, and a star that’s out of reach – Ant & Dec tell him to jump for it, and he leaps off the platform and totally misses it! But a brilliant task though, kudos to White for doing that last move!

The ladies love George

Even with that furry grey caterpillar on his lip, George brings a bit of old-school Hollywood to the outback. And he’s still happy to share stories of his exploits with the ladies. He’s never vulgar, but he let’s the gentlemen of the camp know in no uncertain terms that he’s had more bedroom action than all of them combined will ever have.

Fish-gutting Fun

George and Justin Ryan end up doing a Celebrity Chest task. It’s a doozie, this task – they have a giant box full of fish. The fish contain the key to the chest, and the two guys have to gut the fish and find the key. Hamilton trades a few of his glamorous tales as they work. Justin still finds it surreal that he’s in a jungle gutting fish with George Hamilton.

When they retrieve the chest, they find a question inside – “Since leaving the camp, Colin has gone on either a cycling trip or a boat trip.” Which one? Well, if Justin had been on Mr and Mrs, he’d have had egg on his face – he chose the boat trip, but it was actually a cycling trip. After “2,000 mackrel”, they failed the task at the end.

Italian Stallion

Gino’s libido is getting out of control. We get a lovely montage of clips of Gino being horny with everybody, and everybody loving Gino. This dude’s definitely the favourite to win. Even more than Gentleman George, Gino is just totally entertaining, just because of that accent.

Quiz Night

The three potential evictees have to pick teams to answer a quiz. Lots of edgy questions in there – what percentage of women have faked orgasms, would you dump your girlfriend if she got fat, etc? Ultimately, Jimmy and Sam’s teams win the task and get a prize.

There’s a little run of videos ‘testimonials’  for the celebrities, by the celebrities. George, of course, comes under fire for not doing much. He defends himself admirably by asking who else would tell wonderful stories?

Justin discusses being gay, and Gino hilariously asks if he has gaydar. Then Gino starts to bare his soul about an almost-gay encounter he had when he was younger. Or was it a close friendship? I’m still not sure.

I’m really loving the frank discussions between the celebrities this year. This is where other celeb reality shows fail miserably – they don’t allow the true personalities to shine through. But I’m A Celebrity is doing a brilliant job of just letting them talk about stuff. So interesting and not at all contrived like *ahem* Celebrity Big Brother.

Eviction time!

Nice to watch Kim – such a drama queen and an old gossip – trying to draw George into a discussion about who he thought would get kicked out of camp tonight. And when George replied with his opinion, she just brushed him off – wrong answer George, try again.

Frig off! It’s not Jimmy White at all, it’s Page 3 Stunna Sam Fox. No way! I really liked her, and not just because of the boobs, she just had a really forthright attitude. Damn…

Of course, she’s totally upbeat about the whole thing, because she gets to recline in luxury in the hotel until the show ends. They really should film more in the hotel afterward though – will she have a catfight with Lucy Benjamin or will she and Colin McAllister tour the Aussie gay scene? They could make a fortune in personal appearances!

Next task is the Jungle Jail…ooohhhhh!
