Which eight celebrities would you have spend a fortnight in the bush? Select four from each sex but make sure they are no longer in the world of the living. When you've done I'll allow you one celebrity from each sex from the world of the living in addition to those eight ghouls... :devil:

Here is my celebrities:

1. John Lennon
2. Jayne Mansfield
3. George Harrison
4. Marilyn Monroe
5. Andre The Giant
6. Agatha Christie
7. Bob Marley
8. Eric Cantona

How about that scary or what?

when did eric cantona die? :shock:

Adolf Hitler
Genghis Khan
Idi Amin
Stalin
Vlad the Impaler
Mae West
Marilyn Monroe
Princess Di
Golda Meir
Elizabeth I

And the one living one, Bill Clinton. Love to see how Bill splits his time between the warmongers and the women. We wouldn't have to vote them off either, the daily mortality rate would take care of that (throw in surprise guest Ted Bundy after a day or two to add spice).

Vlad The Impaler....my God!! You'd need to be very hard-up to opt spend time around the campfire with the likes of him. But what harm could he do if you're already a ghost??

Yes....when did Eric Cantona depart from this world?? (assuming you've selected him as one of your 2 permitted "live" celebs)

I'll go with these lot....

John Candy
Peter Sellers
Stan Laurel
Oliver Hardy

....It's amazing how difficult it is to think of famous female celeb ghosts....
(he continues thinking.........................)
.....so I'm going to cheat and add a further 4 male spectres....

Fred Dibnah
Henry VIII
...ahh here we go.....Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour......no NOT THAT Jane Seymour!!!!

Heads will roll........

2 "live" celebs to give the campfire some sanity would be Bill Oddie and Ivan Lendl......come on, he must be broke!! (actually think Lendl and Vlad would get along famously)

I am assuming all the ghosts would magically be able to speak the Queen's english of course.............

Or maybe Vlad and Adolf trying to communicate with hand signals would add to the fun, especially when enquiring why Bill keeps putting his middle finger up (IN THE AIR that is.......maybe we need to be clear on that....gotta keep it clean)

ok dead celebs
1.elvis
2.james dean
3.river phoenix
4.Freddie mercury
5.marilyn monroe
6.audrey hepburn
7.princess diana
8.karen carpenter
my it's hard to think of 8!!!
my two alive easy - johnny depp and victoria beckham

Can I have Fred Dibnah too?
I hate gardening, but I'd like to have Percy Thrower around as he seemed like a lovely man .
Winston Churchill if only for the excellent quips and James Dean.

I'm struggling a bit with the women. There must be loads, but I can't think of many at the moment. But I'll call up the ghosts of Marie Curie, Amelia Earhart , Florence Nightingale and Helen of Troy to keep the lads happy.

1. Richard Harris - great storyteller around the camp fire
2. Peter Ustanov [sp] - for the same reason as above
3. Eric Morcombe - hilariously funny
4. Elvis Presley - camp fire singing and eye candy for me.
5. Rita Hayworth - loved her spirit
6. Elizabeth 1st - interesting to see how she would cope
7. Marilyn Monroe - you just have to include her!
8. I want the actress from the 30's whose catch phrase was 'come up and see me sometime' but I just can't remember her name. - she also cracks me up and would be great to watch.

My living people would be Ben Fogle as I think he's fab and any excuse to get him away from that awful BB contestant he's dating :) and Nick Knowles as I fancy the pants off him too :)

Ooooh another good thread WS!

Mine would be

1. JFK- he wold have great stories to tell and is hot
2. John Lennon - greates musician/song writer ever and is hot
3. Oscar Wild - he is my choice for intellectual stimulation and i just love his books
4 Jim Morrisson - the absolute sexiest man on the planet well in heaven mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i dont really want any women - i'm happy with the guys!
But if I have to:

5. Queen Elizabeth 1st
6. Emily Bronte
7. Joan of Arc
8. Katherine Hepburn

and alive,

Brad Pitt

That Monroe woman seems quite popular. I think I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't see the attraction. Never have, never will. Andre the Giant sounds terrifying. Was he that huge French wrestler? (how did he die "Bobly"?)

I love the Vlad The Impaler choice. I'd have a "stake" in him being crowned King of the Jungle. But who is/was Golda Meir?? - rings a bell, but can't put a face to the name...

In response to "sayangmouse" - yes all non-english speaking celebrity ghosts have to undergo a 2 week emergency crash-course in Queens English followed by a rigorous 5 day Outback-slang seminar prior to entering the jungle environment.

River Pheonix...good choice.Him and Johnny Depp would get along like a tent on fire. Though I resent your Karen Carpenter choice....she just depresses me :sad:

Yes Nox, you may have Fred Dibnah too. He's....oops...he WAS my idle - in the world of steeplejacking at least anyway!!....."Aye....aye"...Dibnah could probably build a steam engine from broken twigs!!/Winston Churchill....nice choice. Helen of Troy....was she "fit" or something??

Richard Harris/Peter Ustinov....excellent choices. Useful for when the intelligent conversation with Andre the Giant has expired and when he has no more wrestling stories to relate. And you was doing so remarkably well until you plucked out "Ben Fogle" and much worse "Nick Knowles" - I'll put that down to a lapse in concentration!

Thank you Crystal. Like your Jim Morrison and Emily Bronte selections. Nice contrast too!! Hepburn was delightful in "On Golden Pond" so if you select her then Henry Fonda must go too.

Keep 'em coming. I'll select a Top 20 from all posts after Xmas.

Eric Cantona was my living person, now Andre

At 7'4" 500 pound Andre Rene Roussimoff was born on May 19th 1946 Grenoble France he had a disease called Giantism his hormones grew as he did.

He wrestled in the amateur leagues before joining WWF/WWE he was the champion just once.

he passed away in 1993 due to the disease his heart stopped for more read www.andrethegiant.com/bio.

Its a jungle out there

bobly

enter.....Robert Shaw - how cool it would be to hear him sing "show me the way to go home....." one more time around the campfire.

enter.....Brian Clough.....James Finlayson (Laurel & Hardy fans will know who who this guy is. Homer Simpson stole this mans catchphrase.....simply "doh!" But Finlayson stretched it out...."dohhhhhh!!"

enter.....the great Michael Landon (Charles Inglis - Little House on the Prairie)

enter....Charlotte and Anne Bronte.....to join up with their sis' Emily

enter....Miles Davis - as the dusk draws in, imagine the sound of that sax around the jungle.....awesome!!

enter....Chief Sitting Bull....pass that pipe around...

let's have The Pied Piper of Hamlyn in there too........so he can lead the rats away of course!!

and finally....Mona Lisa and Leonardo Da Vinci - I want him to paint her while she eats a Bush Oyster this time....see if she's still smiling then....

and finally finally.....the wonderful Stanley Kubrick.

"Do Not Go Where The Path May Lead,
Go Instead Where There Is No Path
And Leave A Trail"

.....Bela Lugosi....

The 10 Celebrity Ghosts have been selected along with 2 "live" celebs who happen to be "Christine's" Ben Fogle and Nick Knowles. I opted for those two on account of my hoping that Vlad the Impaler will single them out on the first couple of nights for special treatment!!

Rather than making a selection of males and females in equal measure, I decided to select my favourites and place them into two separate categories - these being the sublime and the ridiculous. So, well done if one of yours made it into my ghoulish camp....

The Sublime
Fred Dibnah (Yours Truly)
River Pheonix (Kittyxx)
Richard Harris (Christine)
Emily Bronte (Crystal Lights)
Robert Shaw (Yours Truly)

The Ridiculous
Andre the Giant (Bobly)
Vlad the Impaler (Sayangmouse)
Helen of Troy (Nox)
Joan of Arc (Crystal Lights)
The Pied Piper of Hamlyn (Yours Truly)

The Living (......at least before they went into the camp anyhow...!!)
Ben Fogle (Christine)
Nick Knowles (Christine)

You can now cast your votes on the I'm A Celebrity Ghost poll which I've set up....

A dead heat in the I'm A Celebrity Ghost Winners Poll as voters turned out in their droves! - of the nine that voted, two went for Joan of Arc and two for River Pheonix, with others recieving a single vote. Therefore I declare the winner to be River Pheonix on account of his role in the wonderful movie "Stand By Me". I never saw Joan of Arc act so she was always at a disadvantage!

what a strange thread...hmmm...sorry that is all i have to add :S

Just something a little different "Cookie", that's all....

what???? that old chestnut???? :ohmy: :laugh: :devil:

Groucho Marx


Now why didn't I think of him...?

.....but who's Dan Brown???

.....but who's [B]Dan Brown???

Dan Brown wrote the Da Vinci code hence Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Leonarda Da Vinci, some serious negotiation skills with Mo Mowlam and a bit of light relief and forthright voices from the others!!

.....but who's [B]Dan Brown???

Dan Brown wrote the Da Vinci code hence Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Leonarda Da Vinci, some serious negotiation skills with Mo Mowlam and a bit of light relief and forthright voices from the others!!

......and does he deserve a place in "The Jungle of Those that Once Were"? I'm not convinced by this character Dan Brown - could he hold a candle to Robert Shaw??

......and does he deserve a place in "The Jungle of Those that Once Were"? I'm not convinced by this character Dan Brown - could he hold a candle to Robert Shaw??

You are of course right. I keep forgetting what the original rules are and adapt the task to fit my needs hence Dan and Mo. Ah well, poor concentration and innate rebel and I am sure will be continually reminded that I have broken the rules, yet again!

could he hold a candle to Robert Shaw?

Ah, old Robert Shaw, never quite forgot him being eaten in Jaws and singing 'Show me the way to go home boom boom boom' with Richard and who was the police chief and as Thomas Moore. On reflection and remembering the rules of this thread I hereby declare Robert Shaw absolutely deserves a place.

well it's just as well 'cos he made it into the final 12 on the poll (10 spectres and two live celebs) However, people preferred to vote for Joan of Arc and River Pheonix - Pheonix eventually running out overall winner by my own declaration.

not necessarily squire - both the Mowlam creature and Dan Brown could have squeezed through courtesy of the 2 "live" celebrities quota. Those places were assumed in the final poll by one "Christine's" quite awful suggestion of Ben Fogle and Nick "Kno-talent" Knowles. But I decided to put them in amidst the likes of Vlad & Co. on account of the possibility that they might never be seen again upon entering the jungle.....:)

I personally would have declared Shaw the overall winner if I had overlooked the poll but this is a democratic thread and in the end my task was made rather easy when the poll result offered up a choice between Joan of Arc or River Pheonix (both 2 votes each)

I only ever saw Shaw in a James Bond movie opposite Sean Connery, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. And in response to your question - it was "Chief Brody" (Roy Scheider)
