Thank you for joining me for another episode of I'm a Celebrity! Get Me Out of Here! I hope to make this easier for you than NBC made it for me. You're going down for this one Silverman. You're officially on my broadcast television shit list after David Caruso, the cast of "Gossip Girl" and whoever made the decision to cancel "My So-Called Life."

As we join the rumble in the jungle, hosts XX and XY are on hand to pummel the viewing audience with recaps of last week's episodes. It's the twisty-turny tale of 9 celebrities plus ULTRA SPECIAL REALITY CELEBRITIES, Heidi and Spencer. And as if it really needs to be repeated, the Bratts have quit and returned more times than Michael Jordan, with 2% of the charisma and 0% of the fan demand.
In Costa Rica the Bratts have been left to atone for their devilish antics--if they can spend the entire night in the lost chamber, they have a chance to return to the game.

While Spencer and Heidi are banished to the lost chamber, the celebrities back at camp are left to decide whether or not they should allow the spoiled young'ns to return to the game. Leader LaBamba sums up the situation nicely, "I don't think American wants them to win, but I think America does want them to suffer." Yes, Lou. Exactly. Now if you could only focus your insights on to picking relevant acting roles, we'll see what we can do about getting you out of the reality TV game and back to lip syncing some good mariachi.
Heidi and Spencer enter the shack that looks about as scary as the bathrooms at Girl Scout camp and try to settle themselves in for the night. They are examining the different species of bugs that inhabit the shack and are debating whether or not they're poisonous.

To survive the night, Heidi and Spencer pray--like a lot, like Kirk Cameron a lot. We're actually treated to some entertaining night-cam footage of Heidi and Spencer jumping at the sound of every creak.


Recently, I read that the crew took it upon themselves to mess with the Bratts by dragging an acorn across the ground with fishing line.

The camp decides that they will indeed allow the Bratts back, if they last the night in the lost chamber. And in fact, the Bratts do survive the night in the infested port-a-potty and hike back to camp.
Of course Janice is the only one really excited to see them and she lets Spencer know that she is the only one that wanted them back. In actuality it wasn't just Janice and Jesus on their side, there was a vote and for some god awful reason the camp consented to their return.
Spencer wastes no time with hellos and jumps in to the tale of woe he and his bride suffered after they left camp. Upon leaving, they weren't sure they had made the right decision, so "just like a fairytale," they go down to the creek to pray on it. Heidi began reading the Bible and Spencer fell ill. He was sweating and vomiting. Spencer, that's how I feel when I hear Heidi's voice too!
**Side note: There are so many jokes to be made here. I'm overwhelmed. A few more options are included below and please feel welcome to contribute your own:
Heidi began reading the bible and Spencer fell ill...
-Spencer, that's actually your gag reflex from people shoving religion down your throat.
-Was she reading the Bible or a transcript from the show?
-Was she reading the Bible or singing her latest single?
-It wasn't the Bible reading, it was seeing your own reflection in the water.
-It wasn't the Bible reading, it was a hangover from Janice's fumes.
-It wasn't the Bible reading, it's the onset of the E. coli infection you contracted from having your head wedged so far up your own ass.
Oh damn, I should have used the "head up your own ass" one.**
The reformed Bratts settle back into camp and Heidi starts talking to Sanjaya about pop superstardom. It's basically like listening to George Bush and Sarah Palin have a discussion about the Nobel Peace Prize. Fools.
Heidi can't wait until Sanjaya and Janice and THE WHOLE WORLD hears her album. She sings a bit of her "rock song" for the campers. Do I even have to say it? It's horrible.

Dear Medusa,
Great recap. I couldn't bear to watch Speidi, so thank you for watching and reporting on them finally leaving the jungle. I bet the bugs are celebrating.
I just want to know one thing. When Speidi was praying, did they ask God to drive the devil out and also let Heidi pose nude for Playboy?
They must belong to that new type of Christianity where being naked in a magazine is OK as long as you pray for it. Like when Spencer said he prayed for a double date with Miley Cyrus.
Normally i just pray for stuff like health and peace and family members. I guess I'll never be like Speidi.
Thank goodness and God,
TVannie

Well, jeebus certainly heard MY prayers -- hooray, the blonde idiots are gone and one of them has a hole in her stomach to boot!

I'm hoping they come back when Heidi is better. Wouldn't it be great to see Spencer interact with Holly in a non-scripted fashion? They really don't get along and it'd be nice to see where his newfound "big-boy pants" get him when he loses his cool with her! Drama!!!! :)
Great recap! Thanks to all of you who are pitching in to recap this show! And a special prayer must be said for the poor souls who end up with the 2 hour episodes to recap. UGH! Those seem to last an entire WEEK!

I loved this recap Medusa, if for no other reason then a great screen grab of Buddy Christ. I'm going to miss Hedi and Spencer, no I'm not, but I will miss the comfort of knowing they were in a jungle thousands of miles away from us.

Another triumphant synopsis, Medusa! I enjoy your blog more than the actual show.
And who doesn't love religious imagery?
