of Here!
I'm a Celebrity — Get Me Out
of Here!'s all-star cast includes International
sex symbol and famed model Tyson Beckford; sassy
TV host "Downtown" Julie Brown; Olympic
champion and successful business entrepreneur
Bruce Jenner; the man who coined the phrase "champagne
wishes and caviar dreams," Robin Leach; Hollywood
scion and fashion critic-of-the-stars Melissa
Rivers; actress Alana Stewart (former wife of
rocker Rod Stewart and actor George Hamilton);
and Howard Stern's infamous radio cohort, Stuttering
John. Improv performer John Lehr will be the host.
In
the fresh, all-new interactive series, celebrities
leave behind their pampered lives for weeks of
roughing it in a remote outpost of the inhospitable
Australian rainforest. Based on the phenomenally
successful British hit of the same name, the series
will let American viewers on the other side of
the globe vote to control the action via the phone
and the internet.
The
series will follow the U.K. version of seeing
how ten celebrities fare without their accustomed
luxuries, as they experience one of the world's
toughest terrains. The celebrities will live out
in the open, sleeping on makeshift cots in primitive
conditions and trading their gourmet meals for
rice, beans and water. And all under the control
of the viewing audience. In week one, they will
be at the mercy of television viewers who single
out a celebrity a night to undertake a dare —
"The Bush Tucker Trial" — in order
to win extra food for the rest of the group. In
the final week, viewers vote to keep their favorite
contestant in the camp; the one receiving the
least number of votes each night is forced to
leave. The lone, remaining celebrity at the end
of the trial will emerge as the King — or
Queen — of the Jungle and win a sizable sum
for their favorite charity.
Viewers
can participate by either calling phone lines
(which will be announced prior to the commencement
of the series) or voting right here on ABC.com.
