To say I'm happy with tonight's Bushtucker Trial is an understatement! I thought Celebrity Cyclone was one of the best trials last year and it's back!

The whole team MUST take part and as they walk into the trial clearing their eyes spot the steep hill, the wind machines and gushing water, it's an overwhelming sight and they all look tentative.

Ant fills them in on what's to come... "Today you will be battling the elements to win your meals. You must decide on an order - who goes 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. When the klaxon sounds, the first person must carry all four stars to the first finish position. 
 
Once the first person is in position, the second person may make their way to the second finish position – collecting three of the stars on the way. Once the second is in position the third person can make their way to the third finish position, picking up 2 stars as they pass... And once the third is in place, the fourth and final person can set out to the fourth finish position, collecting a single star en route." It's a real mission this one!

Dec continues, "You may only begin moving when the person before you has reached and is standing in their finish position with their stars. Once all four of you are in your finish positions, all you need do is hold your stars high over your head.  You have five minutes to get to and stay in your finish positions with your stars aloft. A meal will be awarded for every star in the designated place at the end.
 
As this is a Bush Tucker Trial expect a few surprises along the way… If you want to end the trial, you can simply shout “I’m a celebrity get me out of here!” But you’ll have to shout loud. It’s going to be noisy!"

They all prepare for the trial and I have to laugh as Joe shoves David over into the water. David shouts, "Who's team are you on!" and tries to return the prank...
 
Gladiators Ready!
A fireball at the end of the slope bursts forth, then the foghorn sounds and George is the first off. He battles against the wind and water cannons, but falls over almost immediately. He pushes himself up, digs his heels in and gradually drags all four stars into their first position.

His friends go wild and it's time for stage two!

David is off next and he falls flat on his face. He struggles on though and manages to reach George in good time. The water jets are really beating down on his face, but he manages to make it to the second star. Martina is third and although she's down, as always she's back up in a flash and she actually runs with the stars to Joe! Ace!

With just a minute and a half to go, Joe runs through the cyclone to Martina but loses it after he falls into her. He grabs her feet to try and anchor their position, but it causes her to fall into the whirlwind...

She gets washed away and takes out all four of the celebrities as she flies by.

With just one minute to go, David and Martina help George back on his feet and onto his spot, they drag themselves up the hill and into their designated places with just seconds to spare. I can't believe they had to start again and still did it! These guys are legends and they all win a meal each for tonight.

 
Laughing her head off and sliding down the hill on the plastic, Martina says "Well done boys! We got blown back but we held on, we were never going to let go or give up."

Joe snuggles into a group hug and says, "When I got my star back down, I thought please let everyone have got their stars and I looked round and thought well done team. It’s our last night as a foursome and it’s down to the last day so let’s make it a good one."

 
"We are the fabulous four, we eat well tonight" George cheers.
 
Martina tells the Bush Telegraph: "The trial was a lot of fun, it was very hard and slimy you can’t get any grip and the air and water is blowing you its like fighting the elements and George  was phenomenal he had a hard task getting all 4 stars to the first one. At one point he was totally stuck in one place, he was moving his arms and feet and going nowhere and he was blown back and he started again, then we were able to get all 4 meals for tonight."

WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!

Why is David such a grump? They've all had a cracking time at the Bushtucker Trial and loads of smiles and fun... Then they get another treat and Van Day spoils it for everyone.

They arrive back at camp and they've missed the ice cream man! A note tells them that there are four ice creams hidden in camp and they have to find them before they melt.

Joe runs around like an excited child and the first one he finds he gives to George (He's such a sweety!)

George thoroughly enjoys it... "The chocolate is delicious and the inside soooo creamy!"

Joe's found all of this ices bar one... He's tired (especially after the trial), but he keeps looking and then he spots David just wandering about. "David's not even trying to look, he's putting his creams on... Why aren't you helping us look Dave. Leave all of your lotions and potions and come and help." David points out that he has his ice cream and Joe replies, "That's not the f*****g point!"

He tells the Bush Telegraph: "David got his own ice cream and then didn't look anymore. I didn't want to have a go at him, but it's not just about him. He just stood there!"

BEST AND WORST

George tells the Bush Telegraph about his best and worst moments...

"I loved skydiving and I never thought I would do it. I felt like a superhero. I also enjoyed the ostrich trial. We won eight stars while they pecked us, so we did well. My worst moment was when we were trecking into camp and I fell. I rolled down the hill and a tree hit me in the crotch - that stopped me! "

My best thing is my friendship with Joe. Joey is warm and caring, we have spent a great deal of time together. He is wonderful and he taught me the 'Olly, olly, olly' song.  

I wonder if George would have enjoyed himself as much if Joe hadn't been there? ...and I'm sure the same goes for Joe.

I wish George was my Grandad, he's such a sweety!

More Best & Worst moments in my feature tomorrow...
(I'm laughing as I'm typing that because Martina's on screen laughing at Esther putting that ruddy fire out. It's one of her best moments. Martina's cracking up and Esther is ranting away! LOL!)

CELEBRITY CHEST - TEA TIME

Now that's what I call funny!

Martina and David had to retrieve the key to the chest by firing tennis balls from a giant teapot at targets. The fabulous part was that every time they hit a target, water gushed out and splattered all over David (so he could catch some in the tiny teacup strapped to his head). Big Wet David = LOVE IT!

Then... The water he had caught had to be poured little by little into a tube to lift the key... He must have been soaked at least 30 times.

Job done!

They dragged the chest back to camp and discovered that they had to answer twelve questions about their jungle experience, before they could open the box. The killer question was 'How did Joe describe Martina's bum?' Do you know?

Neither Joe or Martina could remember what he had said, so they went for 'FIRM'. Unfortunately they failed - the magic word was 'PEACHY' people... 'PEACHY!'

The campers didn't mind losing too much and Martina had more fun with the pantomime horse booby prize, than she would have with some grub. She was squealing with laughter as she pulled on the outfit and trotted around camp like Willie Carson on acid.

David however wasn't smiling... "I got soaked and soaked and soaked and soaked and soaked out there for nothing! They got the b****y question wrong when we got back!"

Pull your head in David!
Get him out people, VOTE JOE!

YADDA, YADDA, YADDA...

Joe visits the Bush Telegraph and finds a video camera... He's asked to make a fly-on-the-wall (or should I say the leaf) documentary about jungle life.

CHOCOLATE ROULETTE

After Joe had ran around with the camera, touring the pool, the dunny and the bus, it was time for a game of chance...

The campers were chuffed to bits when they recieved chocolates as a treat, but these were no ordinary chocolates… Some contained anchovies, chillies and other strong and spicy flavours that would give the celebrities a shock.

To play chocolate roulette they had to take turns spinning the wheel and which ever chocolate the arrow landed on, that celebrity had to eat it all up - Eugh!

George started by spinning the wheel. At first he thought the chocolate he had was a winner, but the expression on his face gave it away. "It’s chocolate but there’s something strange in it!" Martina found it all hilarious when he revealed it contained "some kind of insect." She said "This is my second best moment."

Joe was up next and he had "something strange and disgusting" stuck in his teeth. David took his chocolate which had really hot chillies inside. Strangely, he thought it was crab claws and spat it in the fire!

They all continued to chomp down the chocolates and Martina laughed and laughed at the faces they pulled. George thought his was pure chocolate but then spat it out. "It’s vile, it’s not funny, I have to wash my mouth out."

Martina and Joe were laughing so hard that Joe actually weed a little.

WHO'S OUT?

It's not Martina, it's not Joe (they both make the final) and it's down to David and George.

THERE IS A GOD!
JUSTICE IS SERVED!
YOU BEAUTY!

It's David - YES, YES, YES!

David crosses the bridge and shakes hands with Ant & Dec. He says he's disappointed to leave his friends in there...

"My work was done though. There are three nice people in there and they deserve to be left alone now." He knows that he's trouble.

He watches the footage of his shenanigans and sips his champagne. Dec points out that David ruffled everybodies feathers from the beginning and he watches the VT of his fellow campers calling him 'lazy' and 'annoying' (and much more).

When asked if he was deliberately annoying people, he says "I said from the start I wouldn't take any nonsense of anybody". When he sees footage of Nicola, he admits that he could only wind people up who would "bounce things back" to him and "Nicola gave me lots of currency. It was easy to do."

The boys show him Joe's reaction to the whole Nicola fiasco and he's concerned that Joe felt he had put his neck on the line for David for nothing, especially after Joe was the only 'original' to support him. He says, "Joe shouldn't feel used. Hey you think I had a game plan, Joe didn't need one. He stood up for himself, was true to himself, what he saw he didn't like and he stood up for me."

As they run out of time David ends by saying he wants Joe to win.

Bye David, I'd like to say I'll miss you...

See you tomorrow for all the gossip and the LIVE FINALE BLOG!

Who should win I'm a Celebrity 2008?
