Yes, this show lives.
NBC Site for show
Unfortunately, a judge prevented former Illinois Governor Rod Blagoyevich from being a contestant, so someone who knows how to win elections won't be
competing. It also means that the cast has not yet been finalized, as only seven celebrities, including some reality TV veterans, have committed to competing
so far. They are:
Heidi Montag and her boy toy Spencer Pratt (Speidi, anyone?)
Janice Dickenson (who had her own reality show)
John Salley (we know who to bet on for an athletic challenge)
Sanjaya Malakar (he gets another 15 minutes!)
Stephen Baldwin (well, we know which of the Baldwin Brothers is having the most career trouble, don't we?)
Torrie Wilson (she adds new meaning to the wrestling term "face" 
)
Here's to NBC finding more celebrities off the C list between now and June 1st for this bit of summer filler.

I remember watching a couple episodes of this its first run. I also remember not liking it much.

There's plenty of rumors here in Chicago that they've asked Patti Blagojevich (Rod's wife) to take part. Word is they really need the money due to
the mounting legal bills.

I watched this a bit the first time but couldn't stick with it. It was way too Fear Factor at the time. Here's hoping they've retooled it a bit.
Then again, after the eternal reality glory that was this year's Celebrity Apprentice, I don't see much point in watching this one.

Retooling is such an appropriate word, considering all of the tools that were in the first one.

I only caught a little bit of the first run as well, and it looked completely fake, like it was on a soundstage. No interest in it this time around, not even
to see Sanjaya "suffer."

Since Stephen Baldwin is also on here, it looks like the producers are setting up a Young Guns vs. Young Riders rivalry. As if anyone but the biggest TV geek would even recognize that such a thing could even exist. |

Well, nothing was on last night so I watched it. It sucked. Speidi needs to burn in hell. And yes, Patti was on and they must have a "cuss jar"
because she was awfully quiet and staid.

So what happened in the first episode? Washington Post soccer writer Steve Goss is down in Costa Rica for family vacation/ US World Cup qualifying and wrote
this:
But I would've traded it all away for the once-in-a-generation sighting on the hotel patio this evening. Yes, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are here. Who in the name of Stoitchkov are Spencer and Heidi? I asked the same question, but was ignored by giddy WOI and confused SOI. It seems the newlyweds are celebrities for being celebrities, which, of course, made them perfect contestants for an NBC reality show conveniently titled, "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!", being filmed this month in a Costa Rican jungle. They live at a hotel? |

This train wreck of a show seems to be filmed not out in the jungles of Costa Rica, but perhaps instead behind a big resort hotel or in a sound set in basement
of said hotel.

Part of my wanted to scream when I first heard they wanted back in, I was like - enough already. BUUUUUT part of me wants them back so then America can vote
them out and they can see how much we do hate them.

Spencer saying that being out there with the rest of them was "devaluing his celebrity" was jaw dropping. I never heard of him before and his one
major TV credit is just another common shit show on MTV. The guy is a tool.

Speidi in the hospital? What happened in that shed?! Am I the only one thinking that the entire cast is allowed to stay at the resort hotel on the weekends? |

They probably thought stupidity was an illness, then found there was no cure.

I love crazy Aunt Janice. Guess I should have voted for her to stay, but they never showed the phone numbers, you know?
 Who the heck was voting for that
crooked politician's boring wife? I thought for sure she'd go. I'm done with this train wreck as there is no one left to amuse me.

The producers sure threw together a dull crew. With Heidi, Spencer, and now Janice gone, it's a snoozefest.

The entire show is crap. Every other challenge involves the same spiders, snakes and lizards. I understand Patty sticking up for her husband but if they really
have him on tape saying the things he is accused of - he deserves what he got and some jail time on top of it. If Janice didn't steal and lie about it, she
probably would still be there.
