Bushtucker Trials

Bush Battles
[edit]This year, the celebrities were all given a chance to win immunity from the first eviction. To do this they had to compete in a Bush Battle. The first battle consisted of 4 celebrities having to sit in a jeep. Whoever stayed in the jeep for the longest would win. After winning, John is known for saying "I am the victor." The second battle saw them each having a large egg timer. Whoever didn't let their egg timer run out would be the winner. The third battle was to stand tied to a tree holding a chain which would flush out frog spawn upon their head (they were chained to the tree). Whoever flushed out the substance last won.
| Battle Number | Date | Name of Battle | Theme of Battle | Celebrities Taking Part | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 18 November 2007 | 'Are We Nearly There Yet' | Endurance and Patience | Katie, John, 'J' and Gemma | John |
| 2 | 19 November 2007 | Concentration | Lynne, Janice, Rodney and Biggins | Rodney | |
| 3 | 20 November 2007 | 'Hold Your Nerve' | Physical, Stamina and Balance | Cerys, Marc and Anna | Anna |
The Camps
[edit]Croc Creek
[edit]Croc Creek consisted of Anna Ryder Richardson, Cerys Matthews, John Burton Race, Marc Bannerman and Rodney Marsh.
When the 2 camps merged Croc Creek became base camp.
Snake Rock
[edit]Snake Rock was initially supposed to consist of Gemma Atkinson, Jason "J" Brown, Janice Dickinson, Lynne Franks and Malcolm McLaren, but McLaren quit the show and never made it into the camp. Katie Hopkins was put into Snake Rock on Day 2.
Snake Rock was abandoned once the two tribes became one, but it was used in the bush battles.
