They’ve hired James Acaster. Yes, the dry, sweary British comedian. He’s going to treat the whole thing like an elaborate prank. I can already see him explaining the rules of croquet to a confused koala.
James is my dark horse. He’ll be miserable, which is hilarious. Miserable people make the best TV. Think of his rants about the lack of good tea.
The One Who’s Actually Famous (No, Really)
Okay, for real this time: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is not in the jungle. Sorry, I got excited for a second. The actual “big name” is Lizzo’s flutist. Not Lizzo, just the flutist. He’s very talented, but I’m not sure how that helps with a bushtucker trial.
He’ll probably play a soothing tune while everyone else screams at a vat of mealworms. We stan a versatile king.
