Episode I’m a Celebrity 2026 - Episode Discussion

Don’t think it’s been posted here - apparently the finalists have leaked, as an inevitablity of the pre-recorded season.

Final three are speculated to be:
  • Luke Bateman
  • Concetta Caristo
  • Gary Sweet
I’m not surprised. I already had a theory the first person mentioned will end up winning, so it checks out.
 
Camp snippets seemed more settled without Deni there. Rebecca and Garry together are a hoot. Cyrell is coming across well. Couldnt stand her in the amazing race (didnt see mafs). Fun to see Georges little cooking lesson, would like more of that with camp food. Poor ol' Barry trying to keep it light after Matt was picked. Bit soppy with the two off to the graveyard, I definitely prefer viewer vote, less sook.

Duno who is dressing Julia this season, usually I adore her wardrobe, but this season she looks like my 84 year old neighbour who loves the op shop, with less enthusiasm.
Cyrell has impressed me. She was full-on crazy in MAFS. She's toned/calmed down a lot.
 
I cannot believe the numbers this season has been pulling for its first week! I was just looking at the Oztam reports for week 1 and wow.

Ep1: 1,185,000 (Last year 1,091,000)
Ep2: 1,112,000 (Last year 941,000)
Ep3: 1,016,000 (Last year 807,000)
Ep4: 974,000 (Last year 788,000)

This show has never in it's lifespan had a first week average over 1 million, the Live format is certainly dead now. TEN will be pleased at least 🥴

I think it might just be because there is literally NOTHING else on the TV at the moment. (The Traitors and Drag Race have to be streamed).

Not mad about it tbh, I saw on tiktok he spoke very highly about Heated Rivarly and touched on toxic masculinity in a nuanced way, made me feel like he's a good person with a good heart

For sure thats where I'm a Celeb & Ten benefit during this awkward period. I can see the cricket and home away are doing slightly better than this time last year for 7, whilst tennis is looking like its experiencing a significant drop year on year. I do not follow any sports or their numbers regularly, but this just seems so out of the norm for TEN to get these numbers.

Only three times in 2025 did TEN see that magic million number, yet this show has matched that in its first 3 episodes. These numbers are bizarrely good for them. If it drops back to its normal 700,000 odd once MAFS comes back then it may just simply be that people are bored with other offerings.
