What's going on?

Loved Gillian McKeith fainting before Sunday's bush tucker trial.  Give the woman an Oscar.  Anyone with a fear of creepy crawlies who enters this Australian jungle has got to be desperate.  Or deluded.  Or, in Gillian's case, possibly both. There is no other reason for her to be doing I'm A Celebrity than for the money and a career revival.  After all, she's hardly doing a Katie Price and 'facing her fears'.  The nutritionist won't have got top dollar but it will certainly have revived her career - although not in the way she intended.  Gillian will be a must-have on every celebrity panel and game show going.  She has become a laughing stock without having a clue that she's the joke.  What great telly!

Now back to X Factor.  I would really like to know why Simon is so desperately keen on keeping the new Waity Katie (the other one no longer has to wait!).  It can't just be because she gets publicity.  His appeal to the public on her behalf on Saturday's show was out of character. So what has Simon got planned for this woman who on Saturday turned into an elf? And who styled the poor girl?  I know it's become panto but surely making her look like one of Santa's little helpers is taking it too far?  Katie is still there because that's where Simon wants her.  He can't manipulate the public vote but he can manipulate everything else.  I'm absolutely convinced the judges know who is in the bottom two before the sing off starts and which one got the least votes.  If I'm right, then the saving of Katie over Aidan the week before last was assured before Aidan even opened his mouth and gave a wow performance.  In my view, the judges couldn't be seen to be saving this Waity Katie AGAIN so they let it go to deadlock knowing the public had already sealed Aidan's fate on their behalf.    Aidan fans must have believed he was a finalist certainty and were lax in their vote. A total shocker and a reminder that no one is safe. Except for Wagner.  Seriously, Paije over Wagner? Now what's that all about?

Waissel of space

Oh Katie Waissel!  I thought you were so cute on X Factor when you started, felt sorry for you when all the creeps came out of the woodwork selling their stories about you.  But then....quickly came to realise you were more manipulative than all of them put together.  Katie is a dangerous player.  She's a high maintenance diva before she even has the right to say "I'd like a glass of water in my dressing room please"!  Yesterday it was claimed she had yet another meltdown and held up filming of the Christmas single.  If you look back at Katie's history she's constantly having meltdowns. Katie's fall back position when things aren't going her way is to cry, gasp for breath and hope we'll melt.  It makes me do the reverse. How does this bode if she ever becomes a star (by default)?  Nightmare!  If the producers have any sense, they will uphold their claim and take her off the show.  But they won't because she gets too much press.  Maybe the British public will do their job for them this weekend?
