I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 4 - Early Analysis
At first glance it looks like a reasonably strong showing. This series will be neither a washout nor a classic - about as good as the last one. Potential for romance is nil, but there is broad scope for conflict. Contestants, one by one:
1) Brian
Family tragedy will keep his challenge alive longer than it deserves. He has no charm or charisma and will probably be the third to leave.
2) Fran
A true unknown. His no-nonsense attitude and courage in the face of Wichiti grubs will elevate him to mid-table obscurity.
3) "Huggy"
As with "Miss World" and "Mr Gay UK" in The Games, he's apparently not allowed his real name. Takes himself extremely seriously and will be involved in lots of pointless clashes. All in all: very good for business. I trust the British Public to keep him in, vote for him to do challenges and then eject him when it starts getting serious.
4) Janet
Pursuing a dangerous strategy. Is hoping her straight-talking will carry favour with the public. It might work, but she's overplaying it so far.
5) Joe
A definite top 3. My tip to win.
6) Nancy
The surprise package of the show, think Linda Barker in Series 2. Maternal, capable, good humoured. Doesn't have a high enough profile to win it, but could make the final 3.
7) Natalie
Fantastic. Her complete inability to deal with anything thus far guarantees her a few bush-tucker trials. So far seems to be exhibiting symptoms of narcotic withdrawal - argh! A tree!
8) Paul
Paul, Paul, Paul... Oh dear. Is clearly hoping for a Hewitt-style reinvention. However, he has none of Hewitt's dubious charm, although apparently he has a wife (Marty - did they just say Paul's *wife*?). Expect a trial soon, something which could give him a platform to build on. It won't though. Public distaste for his character ensures an early exit.
9) Shelia
Strong, fights her corner, will pick up some support but doesn't have championship form. I predict she'll be among the final 6.
10) Sophie
Just another boring coke-head. She's doing nothing and going nowhere. She'll be fourth out unless she can convince people there's more to her. Unfortunately for her, there isn't.
