That's exactly what I thought! I haven't seen Bruce Jenner in years. When I turned on the show last night, his face eerily resembled Michael Jackson's. Is it the nose? I vaguely remember him being attractive during his heyday. Ugh.

Rooting for Melissa or Robin. But YAWN I think John or Bruce will win this thing.

Allana will be first to go. Maria Conchita has already been forgotten about.

This show has been a surprise, it's been silly but great fun.

I think that Maria will be the first to go. Counted face time last night. Only got 2 full views of her face the whole hour. Alayna has much more potential for conflict. Just my humble opinion.

I agree. Unless they start reminding the viewers that Maria is there, she will be booted early. The way the vote is set up, people just get to vote for their fave player and the ones getting no votes will be booted. There will be people voting for unlikeable people just to make them stay on the show and suffer. But the unnoticed won't get any votes.

Why couldn't Nikki stay in the box? I thought that was the easiest challenge yet. I would have probably fallen asleep in there. But then I am not afraid of the dark or claustrophobic. I think Alana's clallenge tonight will be the hardest. Will she even attempt to stick her face in those boxes of creepy things?

Did it look to anyone else that Nikki's last challenge was a bit spur of the moment? On the night that they got us to vote for who would do that one, they showed us footage of an actual hole in the ground, and then someone covering it with leaves and dirt and stuff. They also mentioned a "nasty surprise" that would be waiting down there. I saw nothing of the sort!

Maybe they felt sorry for her having to do 2 in a row. Plus the crocodile one where she only got 1 star. So they did this thinking she would do it and get some stars.

It was great to see Alana do all 10 of her stunts tonight. And it was interesting that Julie couldn't even be happy for her. She had to make up an excuse for why Alana did it. It will be interesting to see if Julie can do her's.

I think perhaps after the dangerous crocodile stunt, "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me OUt of Here," decided to make the Bushwacker Trials easier.

When they showed the hole in the ground stunt the night before they did it (the same day as they aired the crocodile stunt), it was a deep hole in the ground with apparently something nasty at the bottom. Instead the next day Nikki was put into a coffin.

Then for Alana's trial, on the day before they showed the boxes of vermin with stars half pushed under, so to reach in with your face, you would probably have to bite the animals.

When Alana did her trial today, they had put a handle on the stars, making them much easier to grab with your mouth. Also unlike poor Nikki in the crocodile trial or Stuttering John who had to climb the tree, she was told she could take as much time as she wanted.

Nikki and John were told they had only 2 minutes, making their tasks far more difficult and yukky, and likely to be unable to be done.

I also felt it odd that Nikki was unable to last for 10 minutes in the box, but probably after the previous day with the crocodiles, she was terrified and thought they had to have put some sort of snakes or other animals in with her (they didn't make it clear to her that the box was empty before she entered it).

AS I posted earlier, I really felt the crocodile stunt was over the top and actually physcially dangerous. 2 large crocs, even if they had been fed before, could still decide to attack, and the 3 smaller ones we saw were obviously lively. And there were unknown snakes in the water that the producers/MC didn't even know about. The "sharpshooter" had only a tranquilizer gun, so if a croc had attacked Nikki, tranquilizers take awhile to take affect, and it probably wouldn't have stopped her. Also she was wading quite deep in the mud, and if a croc had attacked, she could have easily slipped and fallen, making her an even easier victim.

So maybe someone at ABC noticed just how dangerous this stunt was, and decided they needed to tone down the stunts.

Perhaps the producers never thought the stars would do the stunts because they were so yukky/dangerous. But the stars had the motivation to do them, since doing them provided food for everyone, and also they wouldn't want to appear as timid idiots on national TV.

I think that a "celebrity" Survivor would be interesting. But the "Fear Factor" survivor on semi-unsuspecting celebrities, with too much danger and yukkiness, just was becoming unpleasant.

Tonight's episode was much better, in my opinion, since it was more lighthearted and had some funny celebrity stories and such.

Maria who?
