I’m A Celeb Fans Fuming Over ‘Rigged’ Final Format
Fans of “I’m A Celebrity” have expressed outrage over the new format in the latest series. Oti Mabuse secured a golden ticket for the Celebrity Cyclone, but viewers are unhappy about losing their voting rights. Calls for a return to the traditional public vote pour in, sparking debate about the future of the show.
Fans of the ITV show “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” are feeling hotter under the collar than a contestant in the bush tucker trials, as they claim the latest twist in the finale is “rigged”. The uproar erupted during Thursday’s episode as contestants Danny, Maura, Coleen, and Oti tackled a new trial for a chance at the famous Celebrity Cyclone. Oti dazzled everyone and snagged her golden ticket, but viewers are so unhappy they could boil a kettle with their grumbles!
Traditionally, fans vote for their favourite celebrities to make it to the Cyclone, but this year? A twist left fans feeling like they’d been handed a suitcase without wheels. Social media was ablaze with comments lamenting that their vote was essentially taken hostage. One annoyed viewer stated, “So they can win cyclone and there’s no vote for which two go??? It’s feeling rigged!”
The new format was met with scepticism, with calls to revert to the old voting system. Some felt that the introduction of immunity and the golden ticket just made the show less exciting. One fan begged the bosses, “Can they please go back to the original format of public vote it’s so much better.” It seems Oti’s golden ticket is a source of both joy and mischief, like putting pineapple on pizza—love it or hate it, it sparks conversation!
The hosts, Ant and Dec, kicked off the hilarious ‘Battle Blocks’ challenge, where contestants battled it out for the coveted golden buzzer, which guaranteed entry into the cyclone and two weeks of immunity. Oti’s euphoric victory left her jubilant amongst bursts of confetti, and she cheekily quipped about her laundry future: “It feels amazing, I’ve got to wash my underwear more now!”
Amidst the laughter and fan frustrations, the show continues to deliver a cocktail of drama, comedy, and of course, a healthy dose of ‘slime’ time that has kept audiences coming back for more!
So, fellow viewers, will you stick with it and ride the waves of this new format or will you camp outside the production HQ demanding a return to tradition? Either way, it looks like the only thing guaranteed is entertainment – and tons of jungle gunk!
In recent seasons, “I’m A Celebrity” has enjoyed a devoted fanbase eagerly watching contestants face quirky challenges to survive the jungle experience. Traditionally, viewers have had the chance to vote for their favourite celebrities, allowing them to progress or help secure a spot in the notorious Celebrity Cyclone. This season, however, the show’s final has introduced a new concept where immunity and trial participation seemed largely dictated by chance rather than the audience’s choices, leading fans to express displeasure online and demanding a return to the classic public voting system that engaged them more effectively.
In a nutshell, “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” is at a crossroads with its new format – viewers are left feeling powerless and a bit grumpy. The controversy around the twist has sparked a rallying cry for traditional voting rights, as die-hard fans yearn for the days when they wielded the power of the voting finger. Meanwhile, Oti’s golden ticket has created a mix of excitement and confusion, proving that even in the jungle, not everything is as straightforward as it seems!
