The post you are reporting:
If politics is the last refuge of the scoundrel then this programme is the last refuge of the D list Celeb. By now, the celeb in question, has already been out of work for a prolonged period and this is worrying for him/her. No cash coming in to speak of, and besides, they have this addiction to being in the public eye and it is not being fulfilled. Grab any chance at exposure therefore.
They are as a consequence likely to snap up very quickly any opportunity to appear on this famous Im a Celeb show, it pays very well indeed.. being very mainstream, the only downside is that you might be required to eat Kangaroo Testicles as part of the process.
However the D lister will take any kind of humiliation so long as he/she gets that few minutes in the limelight.
Now I rarely watch these popular shows...Strictly has bypassed me, the XFactor Ive never seen, but yes as regular as yearly clockwork I tune into this dogs breakfast... probably for my sins, but also Im not averse to watching Jordan and the likes of, soaping themselves up in the early morning stream which seems to be a regular ingredient. Well it doesnt hurt the viewing figures.
This time around there are a whole gaggle of so called Celebs Ive never clapped eyes on. But three leap off the page to me, the rest I dont know from adam...Linford Christie sprinter, Nigel Havers actor, and dear ol Lempit Opik one time politician...yes clearly the last refuge of the D list politician in his instance.
The others are a mystery, what made them Celebs has passed me by, or is it just that the producers are scraping the proverbial barrel. The show has run for a long time and is beginning to look tired formatwise....and Celebs worth their salt are I expect side-stepping it.
But nevertheless I shall carry on watching in the offchance it can deliver something it hasnt delivered before. And we all like to see Celebs fall on their asses, even two bit asses!
