T is for Too Much Information
We can't rely on them to get along; we can't rely on them to smell too great; we can't rely on them to complete - or sometimes, even start - their Bushtucker Trials. But if there's one thing we can rely on our Campmates for, it's brutal honesty.
Let's relive some of the occasions their openness caused us to cover our ears and hide behind cushions. This, ladies and gents, is what we call too much information...
1. "It's nice doing a number two in the dunny."
Modesty is difficult to pull off in the Jungle. But that never bothered Susannah, who somehow developed a love affair with the generally-despised dunny. "It’s nice doing a number two in this dunny." she assured Camp. "There’s no splash back."
2. "If he came round in his ice cream van, I'd well get a 99."
A profound insight into Duncan's ways with the ladies was illustrated by Vicky, who confided in Ferne that she considered Duncan a 'sort', and gave us the immortal line "If he came round in his ice cream van, I'd well get a 99." Whatever that means, we don't want to know. It's already too much information.
3. "What about all those women who pretend to have headaches?"
Not content with dropping one Celebrity Masterchef-sized bombshell, Tony Hadley let another cat out of the bag when Camp was set the tricky task of deciding which percentage of women prefer pillow talk over being *ahem* intimate with their partners?
"What about all those women who pretend to have headaches?" Vicky wondered"Yeeeeah, there's LOADS of them." Tony chipped in
Too much info, Tone. Too much info,
4. "Big fan of the..."
Jorgie bravely tucked into all manner of grim snacks early on in the series, as part of the Disaster Chef trial. And she did a great job, though we could well have done without her declaration that she loves crocodile penis...
5. Two's company, three's a...
No roundup of brutal honesty would be complete without a contribution from Lady C. The Ronaldo chat was certainly something, but it was her attraction to a much more familiar face that really stepped up the TMI factor. Her flirting with Dec was a highlight for us all watching, and no doubt pepped up many a grim Trial for Lady C herself. But when she invited Ant to join her and Dec for a threesome? Now that's an image no amount of brain-bleach could ever erase.
