Heidi & Spencer Aren't The Worst Part About I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
NBC's goals for I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here seem pretty straightforward: 1. Burn off as many hours as possible as cheaply as possible (that's why it's on fo 4-5 hours a week for the next month), 2. Create a hole in the ozone layer directly above Costa Rica exclusively due to Heidi Montag's overuse of aerosol dry shampoo, and 3. To torture some celebrities in the name of entertainment. All of which is fine. It's their network and their Costa Rica, they can run it into the ground if they want to. When you have your own TV network arm of a huge corporation, you can do things differently.
But while NBC has succeeded in their first two I'm A Celebrity goals, they've failed completely on that last one—mostly because there is nothing entertaining about watching two human-shaped stacks of hair gel (Damien Fahey, and something named Myleene) stand on a set in the middle of a Costa Rican jungle and re-cap a show live as you're watching it for two hours. There was a 60-second exchange last night that went something like this:
Hair Gel Stack 1: We're back with more I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. I'm Damien Fahey, and we're live in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle where we just saw a crocodile.
Hair Gel Stack 2: I'm Mylee whatevers and we sure did, Damien. Where did he go?
