I don’t think they could possibly replace anyone at this stage.

**yojimbo** , I reckon there’s going to be more votes for Jade than in your analysis. None of them can stand her, and I think if I were in the house, I’d prefer quiet Tim hanging around than motormouth Jade. E.g. I can see Jonny voting for Jade over Alex.

Also - _does Alex really like Tim_? My growing impression of Alex is that he’s a damn sight more insightful than anyone else in the house. I reckon he’s seen through the arsehole, and is biding his time…

I think it’s ending on the week of the 26th BTW which means if it ends on the Sat. I’ll be enjoying dinner in **manwithaplan’s** while looking at it 🙂

I’ve asked at the site I linked above to make sure but I’m nearly sure it next week.

Sorry - it’s Friday, I didn’t see your last post.

So there’s four on the last night and this week’s nominations are the last.

BTW, it’s good to see 5 star are doing the subtitles - I was worried they were out of a job.

It’s far from a dining room you were brought up 😉

When you two have stopped flirting with each other, and given that you’re having dinner together that nite…

Anyone else in Dublin having an eviction night party?

We’re having dinner on Sat not Fri.

Eviction night is Fri. I’d be up for one.

Blimey, I just hit 1,000 and I didn’t realise it.

Oh well, it’s just a number.

On a related note, I found [this on another page](http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/displayarticle.php?id=8548) of **Yojimbo’s** link:  
"ITV’s new reality series, I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, will begin on August 24 and run for a fortnight, **according** to the News of the World.

The programme is based on the channel’s “Survivor” format, and will strand a host of celebrities in a remote rainforest \<snip\>  
Among those strongly tipped to be taking part are Christine Hamilton, Melinda Messenger, Tony Blackburn, Tara Palmer-Tonkinson, Nigel Benn, Marc Bannerman, Paul McKenna, Rhona Cameron and Ed Byrne."

- some of them I don’t know, but the rest will be sure to keep me away from the teevee for the duration. Sounds horrendous. Where’s Nicolas Parsons and the orange coloured bloke from Supermarket Sweep - is this similar to the celebrity BB of which I heard so much ?

I was searching to find out who Marc Banneran was and found the News of the World Story. Warning Tara Palmer Tonkinsons breasts on show.

This actually sounds like it could be good. Ed Burn is very very funny. **jimm** any chance you could try and verify this with you know who 😉

I have already had it confirmed: I know Sources Very Familiar With Ed Byrne. Ed was pleased to be chosen for the program, as it confirmed that he’d reached C-list status.

It takes place in Australia somewhere.

Paul McKenna will hypnotise Nigel Benn and he’ll go a couple of rounds with Christine Hamilton.
