I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here

I am so embarrassed to admit that I've now watched this show...twice!
In all fairness, I wasn't planning to watch it. I had the tv on, muted as I was doing things around the house. The show came on and I saw it but didn't really pay attention...until I looked up and saw what looked to be everyone in the camp making fun of Heidi and Spencer Pratt (The Hills). I certainly couldn't pass up an opportunity to witness that!
For those of you who don't know, I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here is a terrible reality show that will be airing almost every week night during the summer. A bunch of semi- and used to be celebs are dropped in a jungle to rough it for their favorite charity. They will be progressively voted out by viewers.
The celebs for this season are Heidi and Spencer Pratt (The Hills), former supermodel Janice Dickenson, Patty Blogojevich (the former governer's wife), Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Young Guns), Sanjaya Malakar (American Idol), Frangela (VH1 comedy duo), John Salley (NBA veteran), wrestler Torrie Wilson, and Stephen Baldwin (because what would a reality show be without a Baldwin?).
This show is completely boring, and ridiculous. Somewhere, some charities are hanging their heads with shame that they may have to accept money from these dipshits!
The best part is actually watching Heidi Pratt. I've never had any use for "Heidi from the Hills", but I gotta say, I'm loving "Back woods, Bible thumping Heidi"! Spencer is just as big of a douche bag as ever though.
Sadly, I remember the first time this show aired in the US. It was even less exciting than it is now. Melissa Rivers, Julie Brown, Tyson Beckford, Robin Leach and Chris Judd (the ex-Mr. J-Lo) were among the "celebrities" that time.
