I'm a Celebrity: Viewers Slam ITV for Reusing Trials
2024-12-03
The former Strictly star embarked on a remarkable journey to the Sinister Sarcophagus. This challenging task was one that Dean McCullough had previously failed to complete earlier in the series, having shouted the dreaded phrase. Oti, on the other hand, had to endure being locked inside the sarcophagus while her body was covered in sand and insects crawling around her head. Amidst these conditions, she had to answer questions about Egypt and then pull the stars off a string using only her mouth. This unique trial became a topic of discussion among fans.
Fan Reactions and Criticisms
Some fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their opinions. They criticized ITV for "reusing" the same trial and questioned if the show was "running out of ideas." One person even said that the sarcophagus looked like Nicholas Cage, and now that image couldn't be unseeable. Another posted, "It's not like them to have the same trials. They've just added the stars with the mouth part. Running out of ideas." There were also comments like "Re-using deans first trial lol these producers are MESSY" and "Omg they did not recycle a trial Dean called I’m a celebrity on #ImACeleb." However, others saw the recycling of the trial in a different light, stating that it made sense considering the amount of planning that goes into making such tasks and that it would be a shame to waste it.Oti's Success in the Sarcophagus Trial
In the end, Oti managed to achieve a remarkable feat. She managed to win eight out of nine stars for the camp. This demonstrated her determination and skill in overcoming the difficult challenges presented by the Sinister Sarcophagus. Her success was a testament to her abilities and added to the excitement of the show.Tulisa Contostavlos' Elimination
