Archive through February 20, 2003
Cyn | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:31 am     I liked the show. I like the ironic title "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Outta Here". It's sort of like making a person say Aunt or Uncle. I didn't realize that Melissa was related to Joan Rivers. LOL. I am so in the dark on some stuff. My schedule includes watchin the whole series. Woohoooo! Reality - gotta love it. Nothing like it to escape the real. LOL |
Rissa | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:32 am     I have to admit to not knowing who a few of those people are either. Never heard of that Nikki but with the last name, I am guessing she is married to the actor from 90210? And the stuttering John? Never listen to Stern and haven't even heard of his having a partner. Alana used to be married to someone in a high profile rock group? I am thinking Stones but not sure. On the other hand, haven't seen Maria since an episode of Outer Limits a couple years ago but I certainly know her and although she has never made it big time, she is a respected actress IMO. Took me awhile but that Chris guy is the one who had the now-you-see-it, now-you-don't marriage with JLo, right? The premise of the show *could* be funny if people like Melissa would stop making me feel bad for seeing them humiliated. The editting was terrible though and if I hadn't have taped to fast forward through it, I probably would have walked away. Alana expecting TV dinners was a HOOT as well as her needing repeated instructions on how to crawl into a sleeping bag {sigh}. I thought it was pointless to show us Robin's gut... let's make fun of their bahaviour not their looks...... odds are that the majority of the viewers will be overweight, not something they should be making fun of. Melissa is very self-righteous... as long as she keeps doing her share (or more) it won't be a problem but the second she slacks off that attitude is going to do her in. Off topic.... Joan Rivers has made no secret that she has done a LOT of plastic surgery... more power to her, BUT!!!!! If Joan's face is due to surgery then how come her daughter looks exactly like her???? RFLOL I remember Joan from the 70's, 80's and her face has changed a LOT from when she was younger. |
Ryn | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:38 am     hopefully I understand it ....... 1st - the "sound stage" look. looks to me like they have these folks on the jungle floor and cameras and lights mounted all around them. its not goign to look quite "real" because the lighting is not natural. This is the way I understand the voting... (but I am a bit confused that they already announced the 2 finalists on the west coast.... unless you were confused with the "trial" that they will show tonight (Johns). They do one trial a day - the public selects who does it. Because they were not on TV until last night they did the voting strictly off the web site for the 1st two things (Melissa's & Johns). Except mellisa volunteered so the 1st vote was screwed. The second vote done over the net chose John to do the "social climb" thing. Last night we voted over the net & phone for the NEXT stunt (it will be shown Friday night). The Croc Swim. Tonight we will vote on the "trial" someone will do Saturday. Got it?? As far as voting people off, I think that starts the second week. |

Texannie | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:42 am     Alana Stewart was married to Rod Stewart and George Hamilton (the tan guy! LOL) |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:43 am     I'm in the minority again -- what's wrong with me? LOL! I thought this show was totally boring. But maybe it was just a hangover after watching Charlie lose. I think I laughed once about the girl and her lip gloss. I got very tired of hearing about the crocodile challenge and listening to the host make lame jokes. It didn't seem like there was much material in this hour. |
Texannie | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:47 am     Not alone..kept thinking "what am I not getting here?????" |
Rissa | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:52 am     Texannie. I posted then ran to take a shower and it hit me... ROD STEWART. LOLOL Rushed back to correct my Stones comment but too late. Thanks |
Pamy | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 09:07 am     Thanks for the schedule Ryn!! So westcoast gets tape delay of the eastcoast airing, right?? I am surprised ABC is showing this in the World of Disney spot Sunday night! For those that aren’t liking it yet I would give it another night, keep in mind it is LIVE so this first show was just edited. If ABC is smart they will read message boards like this and see what people don’t like and try and fix it as they go along, actually this is a great idea to fine tune a show as it goes along. Hopefully they will cut down on explaing the voting, I am sure they did it more the first nite so people would know. RE: Lighting..why does this show look ‘lit’ and Survivor looks so natural? |
Bandit | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 09:58 am     I only started watching it 15 minutes into it, (I forgot it was on) and I must have missed a bunch-I wasn't really that entertained. But I guess I'll give it another shot. I did think it was funny that while everyone is working, Nikki is sitting there curling her eyelashes! And it's pretty sad, when Robin Leach is the biggest celebrity in the bunch!  |
Rslover | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 10:00 am     Whom do you want to see thrown off? That Alana is annoying me. Ryn, I don't think it really is live. Isn't it possible that just the announcer is LIVE. It also looked like a stage set to me. Got a kick out of Melissa though. Pictured Joan yelling, Oh, my baby, my poor baby. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 10:11 am     darn im missing out on another reality show? i can't believe it. ok, hope to catch it tonight or tomorrow or the weekend. sounds like a hoot. rissa, lol about the joan/melissa thing, they do look alike but maybe joan is using melissa as a guide? lol. |
Ryn | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 10:47 am     rslover, parts are live, they had been in the jungle for 1 day when the show started so they were playing back a lot ofstuff. the only parts that were truely "live" last night was the hosts stuff, including when he went into the camp to annouce John would be doing the next "trial" |
Pamy | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 11:28 am     This is great, it is like BB, Survivor, and Fear Factor all rolled into one show! |
Iceprincess | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 06:10 pm     NOOOOOOO they put it up against ER!!!! I can't miss ER...I am going to have to do Picture in Picture and at least see who gets to wrestle the aligators....darn them!!! |
Max | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 06:45 pm     I know, and ER wins for me! |
Pamy | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 06:51 pm     Max...tape it! Besides Abby is starting to really get on my nerves! |
Grooch | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 06:55 pm     Whoo! Hoo! Great show so far. To boil or not to boil. That is the question. |
Nathalia | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:03 pm     Bruce Jenner looks like a woman! What's with Tyrese? He's seen plenty of models naked and he is ogling Niki Ziering? They haven't been in the jungle that long! |
Ryn | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:08 pm     I would suggest discussing tonights show in the thread for tonights show ;) |
Nathalia | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:31 pm     Ryn-this was my first time watching the show and I was just commenting on MY first impressions. You may move my comment if you think it's NOT my first impression, lol |
Ryn | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:33 pm     not at all nathalia - just letting folks know that there was a thread for tonights show - looks like slim picking here tonight though ;) |
Ericka1012 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:29 pm     This show crack me up...I taped ER...thier song was so TRUE about each and every one of them...Alana saying she gets along with everyone...THEN why is she twiced divorced?? And Nicki and Tyson...they have only been there 2 days...and he THINKS they've been doing it a couple of times...DOES he have a SHORT TERM MEMORY PROBLEM...I remember when I do it...LOL...and a h*** alot old than him... |
Ryn | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:33 pm     He said "with their eyes" not REALLY doing it ;) |
