I have to admit I got hooked on this one. The rapport between Julie Brown and John Melendez was great to watch, but I was disappointed in how she didn't even bother to say good-bye to him when she left. I think the producers were concerned about their great chemistry because they were the only ones with spouses right there when they were voted off. Tyson was a big baby. He may have been a gorgeous model, but that whining made him ugly. I don't think his career ever recovered from that, because he was red hot and then I never saw him again. Alana Stewart was a basket case with a filthy mouth. I can still hear her squawk, "I want some "f****** rice!!!" in my nightmares. Bruce Jenner seemed like he was trying to live up to his past glory. I was saddened by his bad plastic surgery. He used to be so handsome with his old nose. It offended me when Tyson told about his brother who was killed in a store robbery and Bruce asked if he was the robber. Why would he assume that? I don't think Tyson would have told the story if his brother committed the crime. Melissa Rivers had a thing for Chris Judd. I started out not liking her for being naive enough to think the jungle was going to be like a vacation paradise, but as she toughened up I admired her. Nikki Ziering annoyed me the most. I have never seen a woman be so self absorbed and immodest that she would talk about how beautiful she is. For that reason, I thought she and Tyson made a perfect couple. Chris Judd proves that sometimes nice guys finish first.

This was a very bad show. The worst part was Bruce Jenner who I cannot stand. I did not see every episode. The last episode was a summary of the whole show. Surprisingly, Robin Leach assumed a leadership role in the group. He was quite skilled in surviving the wilderness. I have only ever seen him in that stupid Lifestyles of the Rich show. If they ever do a celebrity Survivor with him, I might watch it.

The programme is brilliantly conceived - all these terrible people in the same place at the same time? The only pity of it is that they always intended for them to be released back into society...

It was always a bad show. The entire idea was rubbish. What is the amusement of sticking a bunch of celebrities in some jungle and making them eat bugs?

A bad concept all around, like all other so-called "reality television." In a rare moment of amusement last year Saturday Night Live summed up the reality TV craze by coming up with a two-part sketch called "Who Farted?" The second part was called "I'm a Celebrity - Who Farted?"

Once upon a time, I beheld 'Survivor,' and I thought TV had hit rock bottom. A bunch of boring jerks on an island eating grubs? Who's going to watch that? But I was wrong. This was not rock bottom, but the beginning of a dig for the then-unknown depths of rock bottom known as reality TV. But I'll admit 'Survivor' was inoffensive enough, and even kind of clever in its way. Just not my cup of tea. Then, I beheld 'The Bachelor.' OK, I thought. This has to be rock bottom. A bunch of attention hungry pseudo-whores vying for the affections of a horny, so-so looking schmuck. If feminism wasn't dying before, this atrocity killed it. But America watched, and women even bought into this nonsense. Too bad for them. At least I have something to feel intellectually superior about. Then came 'Fear Factor.' Now, we can't POSSIBLY go any lower than this, right? This is the scum under rock bottom. We've got the grub eating and an unattractive schmuck in Joe Rogan, plus a bunch of idiots humiliating themselves just for the sake of humiliation. I thought this was the most degrading pile of sh*t television would ever spawned. And yet, I was content, because I was sure it couldn't get any worse than this. I was wrong. So very, very wrong. 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here' proved that. There no longer IS any rock bottom, merely greater and greater depths of stupidity. Mark my words, reality TV is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and Melissa Rivers is the jockey.

I also got sucked in. Some of those "celebs" I didn't even know. I fell in love with Mr. Judd. He is a sweetheart. Boy, how old is Downtown Julie Brown? Bruce Jenner just won't shut-up. Tyson came off as an @#$#hole. I used to like him, but not anymore. All in all it was fun to watch. I'll watch again. LUV U CHRIS JUDD!!!

Any show where Melissa Rivers turns out to be the stable one and almost the winner scares me more than her mother's horrifying plastic surgeries.

I concur with the above comments in the vein of "Celebrities?!?!? What celebrities? Where?" But I'll say this for Bruce Jenner--no matter how many embarrassing roles or dumb infomercials he appears in, he's still by leaps and bounds more of a celebrity than anyone else on this lame show. Anyone who wins an Olympic decathalon is the Mack Daddy for Life. The other notable thing about this show was how old Downtown Julie Brown looked. This show should have been called, "I'm a celebrity, DAMN IT!!!!"

When I saw the Super Bowl commercial with two people I've never heard of, I knew this was gonna stink.

Cris Judd = sweetheart. Melissa Rivers = delusional. Nikki Ziering = vain and dumb. Need I go on?

I thought it jumped the shark when Tyson started lecturing everyone about their behavior. What an obnoxious guy!

Why wasn't Ted McGinley on this show?

I enjoyed watching this show (partly because I am addicted to reality t.v.). I was amazed how nice Chris Judd seemed (really, he was a sweetheart), I was actually touched by the way he talked of his ex JLo. He really shouldn't worry about losing her, she seems like a messed up Hollywood, self absorbed bitch (Ben can have her, they seem alike in many ways). Melissa Rivers and Downtown Julie Brown got a rude awakening when they were left without their botox, make-up and hair stylists. I bet it really bugged them that Alana Stewart looked way better than either of them and she is much older. That part was fun to watch. Stuttering John was surprisingly cool (Howard Stern Rules!). It was entertaining.

To the above poster who said that Bruce Jenner as an athlete did not belong among the celebrities because an athlete does not contribute to "art", like a celebrity does-You might want to rethink that idea. First of all, the dictionary (as the above retorts have quoted) does not define a celebrity that way. Second, I would think that BJ IS an artist in the sports field, my God, in his prime he was amazing. Third, exactly what have the other "celebrities" contributed to the art world? Melissa Rivers? Robin Leach? Nikki Ziering? Alana Stewart? Stuttering John? Tyson? Julie Brown? The only ones out of the whole group that haven't gained their celebrity simply by riding on the coattails of other celebrities (which as far as I know is not an "art"-well maybe it is!) are Maria Conchita Alonsa, and Chris. They have made actual contributions to the art world, and for the life of me I cannot think of any contribution made by any of the others. One other thought- I would love to know what these celebs do after the cameras turn off. No one actually believes that they do not head to the nearest luxury hotel after taping and soak in a nice hot tub, do they? Where's the National Enquirer when you need them?
