I’m a celebrity. Get me out of here.

In Reality
There must be some pretty desperate folks over at VH1.
That is, it must be kind of sad when the glory days of the network were The Surreal Life and Celebrity Fit Club. I have no tangible proof of the fact that the whole Celebreality schtick is fading, but it seems to be safely “over.” My Fair Brady and the like have faded into embarrassing memories.
But did you know that the network has a brand new series that you probably didn’t know was going on? Or, at least, I didn’t know it was going on and so I think that no one knew it was going on.
So, before we play the “which c-list celebrity is actually on this show” game, let’s play “what exactly is this game show.”
The game is: Celebrecadabra! (celebrities do magic), Celeb P.I. (celebrities solve fake mysteries), Celeb Commando (celebrities go to boot camp and the firing range)
Faded eighties actor: Judge Reinhold, C. Thomas Howell, Leif Garrett
Former Talk Soup host: Aisha Tyler, Hal Sparks, John Henson
Rapper: Kid from Kid ‘n’ Play, Hammer, Biz Markie
Celebrity Fit Club veteran: Kimberly Locke, Carnie Wilson, the Snapple Lady
Female comic: Lisa Lampenelli, Rita Rudner, Lisa Ann Walter
Girly singer: A Cheetah Girl, a Danity Kane member, a Pussycat Doll
Last Comic Standing: Ant, Dat Phan, Todd Glass

I’m watching the first (and my last) episode on Oz TV. What a load of C.R.A.P.. I live about 30 minutes from where the showwas made. It’s hardly jungle, I’ve lived in much more remote locations than the one used, it’s only an hour by road from Australia’s Gold Coast high rise. I’ve even flown from Coolangatta to Byron Bay on one of the actual helicopters used.
Do viewers really believe they are wathching a genuine outback (jungle) experience??? You’ve beeh had yet again.
