Adrianne Curry & Christopher Knight passed on 'I'm a Celebrity...,' should the show recruit new blood?

One week into this "I'm A Celebrity..." mess and my favorite people -- the comedy duo that call themselves "Frangela" -- are gone. One of the funny girls was voted out by America (stupid America) and the other caved without her partner-in-crime, but the whole thing pisses me off because the twosome was fantastic at making good, clean fun of their cast mates whose behavior begged mockery. With them gone, there's little to no comic relief and that sucks.

Of course, Heidi and Spencer are now out of the competition too, so the best/worst -- depends how you look at it -- drama is over as well and we're just left to watch Janice Dickinson piss Daniel Baldwin off with her laziness.

It's unlikely Heidi's sister, Holly, will add much to the dynamic when she joins the cast on Wednesday since she's pretty sweet and tame... though she did step it up on "The Hills" season finale, getting wasted at Speidi's rehearsal dinner, delivering an insulting toast, throwing potatoes across the table and following it all up with a full-on meltdown... but somehow I think that side of her only emerges in Spencer's presence. We shall see. There are rumors that NBC may bring Spence back on the show to do just that.

What do you think of the remaining players? "America's Next Top Model" winner and Peter Brady wife, Adrianne Curry tweeted this morning that she and husband Chris Knight turned down an offer to do 'I'm A Celeb...," saying she's unsure "how one maintains dignity&self respect on that show."

Really, Adrianne? Dignity and self respect? I mean, I love you, girl, but are you serious?

Anyway, thoughts? Should NBC recruit new blood? Keep Speidi close? Will you stick with the reality series or have you seen enough at this point?

Without Speidi and Frangela, the show isnt as entertaining.

I disagree with Ron, The Bratts were entertaining,yes, but I was sick of them. The returning "born again" Bratts were boring anyway. If you're just watching for drama, try one of the CBS forensic shows.

Recruit new blood?? YES!! It absolutely amazes me that it's the same people on all these celebrity shows. Janice was on ANTM and now she has her own pathetic show, Baldwin was on the Mole & Celebrity Apprentice, Spencer was on The Princes of Malibu and The Hills and Heidi, well she's got The Hills. So why is it always the same pathetic bunch of 'wannabe' celebrities showing up on these crappy shows? Why do I even care? Because the public deserves better - for what we're paying!!

The public deserves better for what we're paying? Last I checked broadcast television was free. I'd say we're probably getting what we pay for.

i also thought that Frangela were the best ones on this stupid show. Holly is just gross. wish she'd just crawl back under whatever rock she came out from. she's leeching fame off her sister, who is possibly the biggest fame leech ever (along with her other half). so i guess that makes Holly the biggest fame leech once removed? it's even worse than speidi....
