Sanjaya Shows Grit on “I’m a Celebrity”

Did you watch I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here last night?  I won’t even deny that I obviously watched it because I’m a sucker for lame reality TV shows and I have to say that it really held some surprises for me.  sanjaya-malakar-im-a-celebrity

The first thing that shocked me was how down-to-earth, willing to work and knowledgeable former supermodel, Janice Dickinson is.  I had no idea she was as tough as she is and I really gained some respect for her.  She also looks a LOT better without all that makeup on even though her plastic surgery is still a little unsettling…

Predictably, Spencer and Heidi Pratt of MTV’s The Hills were ridiculous.  Spencer really has some major rage issues and all their prayer and excuses just drove me insane.  From the few times that I’ve seen The Hills, I thought of him as a controlling and possibly abusive boyfriend (and now husband) to Heidi and after he freaked out on everyone last night, I am pretty sure that my suspicions were accurate.  They tried to quit twice last night and I’m hearing this morning that they have finally gone home.  Lame.

The biggest surprise (to me) was that Sanjaya Malakar was not a whiner by any stretch of the imagination and he did some pretty gross and scary tasks (like drinking an “intestine milkshake” and laying with his head surrounding by spiders) with relative ease.  I had no idea he was as tough as he is and I was really happy that the former American Idol finalist didn’t make a fool of himself.

Did you watch the show?  If so, what did you think?

    I think the show is pretty good. I still can’t stand Sanjaya, sorry to those who like him. I just find him very, very annoying.
    One person who surprised me was Janice, I thought for sure she wasn’t going to last one day and be complaining the whole time. I totally didn’t expect her to handle the situation as well as she did.
    Heidi and Spencer, obviously a little spoiled. I figured they wouldn’t last because they actually have to do stuff to survive out there. Nothing can be handed to them and they don’t have mommy and daddys money to rely on. They are going to get a rude awakening later on when they find out money isn’t everything. They are going to find themselves pretty lonely, just ask Heidi she knows all about that. She used to have all kinds of friends until she got with Spencer.
