I'm a Celebrity get me out of here

[Kop66]

Noooo Kop youve bet on a black contestant, zero chance of winning more or less, though I guess the 70.00 odds reflect that. Black contestants can sometimes do well though so your Queen of the jungle shout has possible legs

Probably is a daft bet Mrm' but those are big odds for an unknown (who is she)? Also if she goes close i'll be able to cover with another bet or two later.

What other black girls have appeared before?

[mrmuzeman]

Not sure Kop but they always have one I think and im talking about just any reality show tbh.

Im disapointed theres no sportspeople. I wanted Big Nev to be on

[Kop66]

Big Nev would become a nervous jibbering wreck with those food rations, he'd be asking for out after first breakfast

Wasn't some trout out of a 70s girl trio in there the other year?

Shirley? erm.. fuck knows. Something beginning with S I think

[Kop66]

i know the one you mean ODM

[ONEDUNME]

Sheila?

[Kop66]

Shirley? erm.. fuck knows is a lot older and had been pampered for many a year anyway, i wouldn't of backed her.

[Kop66]

Three degree's bitch

[ONEDUNME]

Didn't read the Paddy Power thing closely enough. David Gest wins as he's the first one voted by the public to do a bushtucker trial not Jan Leeming (the evens on David Gest to win the public vote to do a bushtucker trial was therefore a bloody gimme...wonder if he gets the Natalie Appleton treatment!? ). D'OH!!

Toby Anstis and Faith Brown early positives...to win!?



1st elimination odds over at Betfair:

[stereoman]

9.50am: I'm a Celebrity returned to ITV1 last night with 8.9m viewers. More follows ...

Unless 1.1m is suddenly added to the figure I'm ruing that I didn't put more on.

Good call Stereoman

am looking forward to seeing David Gest do his trial tonight - could well be the first of many. He does seem to stick out in that crowd, although he is one of those blokes that i think would stick out in any crowd

Didn't know half of them myself - Scott Henshall looks as though he should be up for Queen rather than King of the Jungle.

Can understand why Jason Donovan is favourite, but will he impose himself enough, I can see him just getting through it rather than actually making any real contribution.

Think Myleene Klasse could be worth a couple of quid for top female, can;t see either of the older pair appealing, Phina won't be sticking around long, and can see Lauren Booth winding people up, but in a way that is negative to her chances rather than positive - by that i mean I can see people voting to keep David Gest in cos they will enjoy laughing at him, but Lauren? I don;t think so.

End of ramble

Hmmm. Today's Bettingzone Market Moves:

1400: William Hill have slashed the price of David Gest winning I'm A Celebrity to 7/1 from 20s.

Against all expectations, punters have come piling in on Liza Minnelli's ex-husband to win the show and he is now Hill's worst result.

"David Gest is perhaps not as bad as expected but he is still fairly awful. We think that punters have overreacted and would be amazed to see him crowned King of the Jungle," said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill I'm A Celebrity: 11/4 Jason Donovan, 4/1 Toby Anstis, 4/1 Matt Willis, 5/1 Myleene Klass, 7/1 David Gest, 8/1 Faith Brown, 14/1 Lauren Booth, 20/1 Scott Henshall, 20/1 Jan Leeming, 33/1 Phina Oruche.
