Only the second night in Costa Rica for those of us at home, and already I feel as though there may be a few tiny neurons of brilliance in the creepy, amoral slosh that is Spencer Pratt’s brain. All Tuesday he had the entertainment media fielding bulletins and rumors: Spencer and Heidi had quit! Holly Montag and Daniel Baldwin were going in to replace them! Then: No! They’ve decided to stay! Stay and make us hate them, for that is Spencer’s “strategy” to win I’m A Celebrity: he’ll win money for charity by being evil while praying like a devout Christian. If he can keep this up, Spencer will single-handedly raise this listless reality game-show to legendary-crap status.
By the end of tonight’s episode, H&S had yelled, “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here!” for something like the tenth time, and we saw them climb into a car bellowing to return “to the Hills!” They effectively highjacked the entire hour from the rest of a barely-celeb celebrities. Who cared about the vote to save one of the women from this week’s eviction? (For the record, it was Patti Blagojevich, who didn’t seem to care much, either.)
The only vaguely entertaining moments occurred when Spencer expressed a desire to be baptized. He was impressed by the conversion experience of Stephen Baldwin, who described himself as a “non-denominational, born-again… charismatic Christian.” Sayeth Spencer in awe: “That is so me in two years!”
Baldwin performed a jungle baptism while Janice Dickinson said, “You’re hurting the religion… I didn’t come here to be on Holy Rollers, Get Me Out Of Here!” And once again, I say unto you, when Janice Dickinson is the voice of reason, you know your TV show is in trouble.
The hour ended with some of the celebs expressing relief that H&S were gone. This “live” portion of the broadcast also consisted of them gawping blankly and yelling, “Are the cameras still on?” “Is that it?”
If you think Heidi and Spencer won’t return, I have a white, buttock-less harness signed “Bruno” to sell you.
Did you watch I’m a Celebrity? If so, do you feel like washing yourself in a nondenominational body of water? Or are you enjoying this cut-rate put-on?
thanks for the warning. i won’t be watching until those two freaks are gone for good.
I wouldn’t watch anything with these two fake celebrities in it including the Hills.

Maybe now Heidi and Spencer will learn the difference between “celebrity” and “fame-whore”.

Spencer and Heidi need to grow up and they are no where near being celebrities!!! I am so glad they are gone!

That was painful to watch tonight (my first time). And Ken, I think you give Spencer wayyy too much credit. He’s not that clever, just that full of himself.

pretty entertaining show for summer. its still crap tho
1) First off I hate the new way to comment.. why are the circles always turning? What do I do first? Why does it never post right away? UGH!
2) This show is so stupid. It’s such a rip off of Big Brother — even as you mentioned, once their host signs off, you see them interacting in a more real way for a few minutes. But much less cheap scenery and anti-climactic games.

Yeah, someone really screwed up when they worked on the changes. I find that after I enter the letters from the image to verify I’m not Spencer and click Continue I can close the tab/window and my post will be there when I open it again.
This new comment sections sucks.
For ol Spence to be bragging bout being a super celebrity, how come I’ve never heard of him? Guess I don’t watch enough MTV. I have not watched MTV since they stopped playing motley crue videos. You gotta grow up sometime I guess. I am glad he is gone, I don’t see how they put up with him that long, ‘I’m a blackbelt’ he says, yea, well, I’m ex military and you gotta fall asleep sometime. His wife is hot, and if she grows up before he does, she might just end up bangin me. Blacbelts are cool but marines are the ones the ladies want to f@ck.
