Branching off from the worst TV thread, which celebrities would you happily stick in the jungle and never let out?

My top 10:

1. Katie Price - Uuurrrgghhhh
2. Kerry Katona - Ruined herself
3. Michael McIntyre - His voice grates and he's desperately unfunny
4. Terry Wogan - well past his sell by date
5. Sian Williams & Bill Turnbull (they count as one choice as far as I'm concerned) - toe curlingly awful together, slighly less so apart
6. Jeremy Kyle - unspeakably vile
7. Anyone from Strictly Come Dancing - Irritating beyond belief
8. Anyone from X Factor - smug pawns of the big cheese
9. Anyone from BGT - ditto
10. Colin Murray - annoying rat boy who spoils the football

Agreed on 1 and 2

1. Katie Price
2. Kerry Katona
3. Russell Brand - my dead grandmother is funnier than he is
4. Simon Cowell - Do we really want to teach our kids that being rude and nasty earns you money?
5. Karen Brady - More for her association with Small Heath than the Apprentice
6. Jeremy Kyle - Taking advantage of people (presumably too poor to have DNA tests and the like without having to go on national tv) to boost his popularity
7. Ant & Dec - should have quietly slipped off the airwaves before ITV ruined them
8. Whoever commissioned The only way is Essex - For crimes against humanity!
9. Ricky Gervais - not at all funny.
10. Tim Cook - with the promise of early release if Apple support flash


A few weeks ago I'd have said Steve Jobs but it wouldn't be punishment now he's dead

This jungle would be on some island devoid of life....... No wait, it'll have one of those acient tribes you see on the films that chase people with spears. It will also have plenty of man-eating animals. (How lovley!)

Katie Price - To put it simply; Eeeeewwwwwww!
Kerry Katona - Mess
Jodie Marsh - Is she supposed to be attractive in any way?
Russel Brand - A plain cardboard box is funnyer than this guy
Ricky Gervais - Lets uh, see how uh, you uh, last in the uh, jungle
Jedward - Actualy no wait, lets not put these in the jungle, because that would mean they're still on the planet Lets blast them off to a far corner of space in a rocket. Leave them up there.
The creator of 'The only Way is Essex' - It should be a crime what he's done!
The cast of 'The only Way is Essex' - FAKE!
The Kardashian sisters - Yeah we're the Kardashians, we're so great 'cos we're so famous for doing naff all!

And I bet you can all guess this next one....

Cheryl Cole - Nuff said!


Thats all I can think of for now. But I'm sure there will be more, lots more!

I've got a good idea of "celebrities" I would like to send on a one way flight to the hellish place on earth, only thing is though I would probably need to ask the US Air Force/Russian Air Force for permission to borrow 3 of their largest transport planes complete with parachutes.

Although I could just let the Russians/Communist Chinese use them in gulags as labour.

Katie Price for a start, a public slag without an ounce of talent and is her own publicist and causes situations just to sell them.

Kerry katona someone who is very fake 'plastic' I can't stand.

Heather Mills another self publicist who is always after sympathy, as Frankie Boyle once put a money making pogo stick.

I find it rather worrying that you consider the above people to be celebrities.

Most of them do not seem to have done anything, and some of them just sit and read an autocue. Does that really give them celebrity status?

Why bother with the parachutes?

I'm afraid it does in the UK in 2011 at least! you will see all of thes epeople referred to as such in any of the tat magazines that deal with such things!

The rise of the cult of the celebrity is one of the worst things about the last 10-20 years.

No longer here
Ricky Gervais - an annoying, unfunny prig with a giant ego and awful facial hair.

Peter Gabriel - a pretentious sap on a par with Bono. Forgot how much I disliked him until I saw Jools Holland this week.

Regina Spektor - crimes against music.

The super-Welsh announcer from Channel Five - anyone who has heard him will agree!

Katie Price - famous for nothing.

Jonathan Ross - boorish, loud, and rude.

Cheryl Cole - only in this country could an ill-educated, racist, beater of ethnic toilet attendants become famous. An unsightly polyp upon the cancerous tumor which is consuming our society.

Wayne Rooney - criminally unintelligent.

"Sir" Bruce Forsyth - just an incredibly irritating man. Should have retired years ago.

Jedward.

I'd send those newspaper/magazine editors and TV commissioners that perpetute the culture of celebrity.

Mind you I've avoided most of it. I only know who the Kardasians are from a friend's NSFW fashion blog

As someone who doesn't own a television set and doesn't buy newspapers,although I am aware of the existence of these people,I have to say that I have no knowledge of them at all.
Judging by the contents of this thread that seems to be a very good thing.

I don't buy newspapers (wrong description for what they are imho!) but I do flick through them at Smith's now and then while waiting for my train! Or if I find one on the seat in the train I'll have a quick glance!

The Go Compare man is a Welsh National Treasure! Have you seen his awesome performance before the Wales v New Zealand Rugby Union match in 2004?!

IIRC he had a Welsh rugby shirt on, was wrapped in a Welsh flag, and had a pint in one hand. Many people thought he looked like a random fan who had wandered on to the pitch and started singing. Which was undoubtedly the objective, in order to nullify the effect of the All Black Haka!!!

2: Mrs Tembe in Doctors - ditto.
3: Gordon Ramsay - not funny entertaining or nice.
4: Jamie Oliver - just boring.
5: Stephen Tompkinson - for his face and voice...
6: Gary Barlow - getting a bit cringeworthy..
7: One Direction - squeaky clean manufactured Cowell pawns.
8: Ndubz - all that's wrong with Britain today (though Tulisa is admittedly quite hot)
9: Adrian Chiles - cheer up man.
10: Piers Morgan - smarmy greasy w****r.....

I'm sure I'll think of a few more...:)

I only watch 10 or so minutes of morning TV news but I am going to have to say that I really don't mind Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams, not that I class them as celebrities, they are journalists/newsreaders. So much better than that annoying pair, Christine Bleakley and Aidrian Chiles on Daybreak.

Cilla Black just doesn't seem like a nice person!

An excellent idea! Gahaha...

Actually, the problem is that there must be 666 "celebrities" that I would like to send. But could I request the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo among others please? And Mario Balotelli [sp?], and most of the rest of the Manchester City squad, most of the Crawley Town squad,anyone to do with West Ham United, or Real Madrid, or Barcelona, or...

And lastly, can I ask for Jeremy Clarkson to pilot the plane that drops all the people off, to add insult to injury? He can then return a hero! :lol:

I laughed at this for some reason :D

I aim to please :)

I thought of some more too...
Philip Schofield - as Mrs. Greenback says, you just want to whack the telly box.
Graham Norton - NOT the new chat show king.
Chris Moyles - NOT the breakfast show king
Chris Evans - ditto though better than fatso above.
Derren Brown - no better than a kids party magician.
