9 lessons we learnt from Day 6
What. A. Day. There were more plot twists than we could handle, all because of a camel in a wig, some trash talk about cake and a few parcels from home. Here are the lessons we learnt from Day 6 in Camp.
1. Dirt makes a GREAT substitute for contour
She may have been busy venting to the Bush Telegraph about the terrible conditions in Snake Rock, but we couldn't help but notice that the dirt contour was a really great look for Becky. Who needs expensive make-up when you’ve got an endless supply of Jungle dirt at your fingertips?
2. You can totally rely on Amir to run with a story
Ahead of facing Vanessa in The Fright House Trial, Amir was reminded that the other Camp was under the impression he had enjoyed a delicious Victoria sponge the night before, even though it had been sacrificed for a care package.
Cue Amir getting a bit too carried away with his cake tales in front of poor Vanessa, whom he seemed to forget was living on basic rations.
“That cake was nice last night by the way,” he smirked, to which she replied: “I can’t believe how low you’re taking it.”
That probably would have sufficed for the trash talk, but Amir wasn’t done yet: “I mean that cake, it just put the cherry on the top."
But wait, there’s more...
“I’m used to eating good meals," he added. "I’m used to having cake."
Oh, the shade.
3. The purpose of a competition is to beat your rival
Despite battling many boxing opponents over the years, Amir seemed to momentarily forget how a head-to-head works as he scoured The Fright House for the two fish eyes he needed to proceed to the next room.
“Can you help me?” he asked Vanessa.
Vanessa. His opponent.
4. Camels have a great sense of humour
It was an I’m A Celebrity... first - a CAMEL CAMEO. That’s right, an actual camel featured in the Bushtucker Trial, dressed as Donald Trump no less. Sensing Amir’s trepidation about stepping into a tunnel full of spiders, Donald Hump gave our boxer quite the nudge on the bum, no doubt in a bid to send him on his way and win those care packages for Camp.
5. Pants are a controversial topic
Spare a thought for the innocent pair of knickers that unwittingly became the subject a rather intense, not to mention confusing debate in Croc Creek. We’re still not quite sure what happened, but we do know that Jennie just really wanted to dry her pants in the sun, and chose to do so on the Camp Prime Minister's chair.
A debate in a fake Parliament about a pair of knickers? Whatever next - a camel wearing a Donald Trump wig? Oh.
6. Toff = basically Tinkerbell
She’d had no food, very little sleep and her fellow Snake Rock campers were fading by the minute. But there was still no wavering Toff’s eternal optimism.
As Becky grimaced at the prospect of yet another meal of rice and beans, Toff mused: “Maybe we could look at this as one of those really expensive detoxes.
"People pay loads of money to do this,” she continued, to which the Campmates couldn’t help but chuckle.
Oh Toff. Are you available to motivate us through every Monday morning?
7. Don’t irritate Dennis when he’s in the zone
He's a professional sportsman who knows what it takes to win a game: focus, grit, and nerves of steel. NOT loud singing and idle chit chat, as was Iain’s approach to [Balancing the Budget.](http://www.itv.com/imacelebrity/jungle\-spy/balancing\-the\-budget\-is\-a\-scream)
“Where’s your next gig, Shappi?” he asked, as she tried to count coins.
“Iain, shut up a second will ya?!” snapped Dennis, and that was the end of that conversation.
We’re not sure you can entirely blame a radio host who’s normally supposed to FILL silence…
8. The Campmates’ reunion made us overwhelmingly happy
They’d only been apart a couple of days but MY GOODNESS we were beaming at the telly when the Celebs of Snake Rock returned to their rightful home of Croc Creek. There was forgiveness, hugs and the biggest grins we’d seen for days.
Iain however was just mightily relieved that the reason for his cruel behaviour had been revealed.
“None of them wanted to kill me, so that was nice,” he mused.
9. Care packages will never not make us teary
It had already been quite the rollercoaster of a day… and then the care packages arrived. Jamie revealed a penchant for lavender, Rebekah opened a pillow covered in family photos and Jennie broke down when she received a picture of her late father.
THEN to top it all off, Amir gave Kezia some of his chocolate as she was the only Celeb not to receive a package. Not a dry eye in the house.
