Now the camp is starting to get whittled down, it’s nice to see different faces stepping up to take on the Bushtucker Trials. Well, let’s face it, it’s always nice to see Larry and Jordan (our man tastes are nothing if not far-ranging).
The lads must be bored, because they VOLUNTEERED to take on the ominously titled Hell or High Water challenge. The name alone makes us shudder. And we were right. Because no one’s idea of a fun time is A/ being submerged in a tank of freezing water while eels have a nibble at your nethers or B/ being strapped to a chair in a tank of rapidly rising freezing water while snakes slither at your sausages.
Larry took it like a man, joking, “I have a way with snakes, I used to be like that with women." But to be fair, Larry basically just had a nice little sit down while Jordan did all the hard graft, earning nine stars and getting them celebs the hell and high water out of there.
There was more fun later when Joel wandered off to have a shower only to be stopped by the appearance of a mystery phone – and a secret challenge (can you wait until AFTER Joel’s shown his six pack next time, though?). But is Kiosk Keith secretly matchmaking?
Part of the mission was for Carol and Joel to convince the others they fancied each other. Um, YOU THINK? These two need to have a jungle romance and if it takes a secret mission for that to happen, so be it.
As Joel, er, charmingly said to Wayne, “I could put my consonant in her vowel.” We think that should be your consonant in her consonant, but what do we know? Just get it on already.
And, of course, we had to say goodbye to someone. Jordan played a blinder tonight, so we are sad to say goodbye to him. Goodbye to him, and those abs...
Who do you think will be joining these previous winners as this year's King or Queen of the jungle?
