It's finally over. After a final week of ridiculousness, Lou Diamond Philips was crowned king of the jungle. I'll admit, I was surprised it wasn't Sanjaya, but Lou really deserved it. I even logged on and went through NBC's laborious voting process to cast my ballot for him. I only...

Janice is finally gone, and I was happy to see her go. Unfortunately, I know I'll miss her next week, when the editors attempt to manufacture conflict between John Salley and Sanjaya.

I can't say the same about Holly. She was about as dull as it gets, which goes against...

I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! is all about generating conflict, and the producers know it. Too bad there's more controversy surrounding the show on blogs and message boards than there is within the actual show. I keep going back and forth: I know the show is bad,...

I spoke too soon. Or maybe I jinxed it. Perhaps I was just confused. Whatever the reason, I think I gave I'm A Celebrity a bit too much credit for last Thursday's episode in my last post, because Monday's two-hour fiasco was a marathon of inconsistencies, meaningless challenges, and...

Something weird happened as I watched Thursday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! I enjoyed myself.

Don't get me wrong, it's still terrible, disgusting, and demeaning even to the rest of reality television. And for the record, most of my previous recaps have pointed that...

It's hard to believe that I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! could reach new levels of absurdity and boredom at the same time. Usually something that's absurd is at least entertaining. This is a first for NBC. I'm not sure if the second hour Wednesday night was a...

At this moment in my life, there are two shows I watch every day: I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! and The Price is Right. That's just sad. Not the Price is Right part. At least that show is dramatically coherent and sparks some intelligent discussion. ...

The producers of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! have made one crucial mistake (yes, that's putting it kindly, I know): everything about the show that's at all interesting is happening off camera. Last week, we were treated to segment after segment in which D-list celebs argued over...

In just a few days, there's already a lot of controversy surrounding I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Most of the controversy is fake, manufactured by Heidi and Spencer and perpetuated by columnists and bloggers (like me) who have nothing better to watch now that Lost and...

First they were there. Then they quit. Then they came back. Then they quit -- off camera. Then, in pre-taped footage, they were there. Then they quit again. And then, live, during the third episode, just two days after the whole thing began, they're back, begging for forgiveness. Whether this...

After one episode, I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! is already making headlines. Apparently Heidi and Spencer quit the show after the live segment of last night's premiere. But how will this affect the pre-taped footage and how it's presented? Unless NBC is totally clueless, we're about...

One episode down, fourteen to go. I almost can't believe I've made it this far. But, even while expecting the worst, I was surprised by some of the crazy, ridiculous, and incredibly engaging drama that unfolded.

I'll do recaps by commenting on each act, although calling them "acts" may be...

It's hard to believe that the last season of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! was on the air in the US just 6 short years ago. How have we survived since 2003 without the nightly foibles of semi-celebrities romping through the jungle, thousands of feet (maybe even...
