Latest Episode
1-14 Weecap	Why Were They Playing, Again? Episode 14 - Lou Diamond Phillips dominated the game, and the hearts of everyone who voted (except the perverts and teenage boys who liked Torrie) and so, of course, is named "king of the jungle." I think he also won something for his charity, but the show forgot to talk about that.	06.24.2009	B	DeAnn Welker

1-13 Weecap	Two Guys And A Girl Episode 13 - Sanjaya gets eliminated early and then we lose Patti, leaving us with a John, Lou and Torrie finale. It's anyone's game, but mostly America's, since voting is the only thing that decides who will win. The big question: Does anyone care?	06.23.2009 06.24.2009	B-	DeAnn Welker
1-12 Weecap	Hey! It's A Non-Elimination Episode! Episode 12 - They want us to feel like this was an elimination, but Stephen leaves willingly, the campers vote Holly back, and then Holly's eliminated. Not exactly exciting, now, is it? Unless you like watching people drink tarantulas, scorpions and dung beetles. That's right: Drink.	06.22.2009 06.23.2009	C	DeAnn Welker
1-11 Weecap	America's Not As Dumb As I Thought Episode 11 - At least the voting public got rid of one thorn in our sides. But not before plenty more havoc and mayhem, including the celebrities dressing up like superheroes and swimming in the mud with crocodiles. Oh, and with two sent home tonight and another one out Monday, we're finally getting somewhere.	06.18.2009 06.19.2009	B-	DeAnn Welker
1-10 Weecap	Fake Affairs and Fake Drama Episode 10 - This show wants to make a friendship seem like a sordid affair and makes us wait all hour for voting results that are not results so much as telling two people whether they are in the top or bottom four.	06.17.2009 06.18.2009	C-	DeAnn Welker
1-9 Weecap	Celebrity Sleepover Camp Episode 9 - The celebrities make a short horror film that's actually funny. Sanjaya sings, and no one likes it except viewers. It's amazing how much more tolerable this show has gotten since Speidi left.	06.16.2009 06.17.2009	B-	DeAnn Welker
1-8 Weecap	It Did What in the Rain Forest?! Episode 8 - That's right: It rained. Which was apparently totally unexpected, and even kept the only live moment of the game from actually taking place. In other words: Two hours of buildup and no climax. Total letdown.	06.15.2009 06.16.2009	C	DeAnn Welker
1-7 Weecap	Bad Decision, America Episode 7 - Proving once again that, as a collective, we totally suck, we don't get rid of Janice. Or even, as an alternative, Patti, who is somehow apparently getting the sympathy vote thanks to her husband being a(n alleged) douchebag. Good move, voters.	06.11.2009 06.12.2009	C-	DeAnn Welker
1-6 Weecap	Janice: Even Crazier Than Speidi Episode 6 - Janice Dickinson is not just ugly, foul-mouthed and disgusting, she's also a thief and a food hoarder. Enjoy her while she lasts, folks. She's here all week (but hopefully not next).	06.10.2009 06.11.2009	D	DeAnn Welker
1-5 Weecap	Speidi Finally Gone For Good Episode 5 - It took a bad bout of gas to knock Speidi out of the competition, but they're not coming back this time (we hope and pray). Unfortunately, Janice is still here, and she's still crazy.	06.08.2009 06.09.2009	C-	DeAnn Welker
1-4 Weecap	Two Baldwins are Better Than One Episode 4 - No, really. Not only are they funnier together, but with the addition of Daniel Baldwin, the ladies have someone to adore and ogle. They've definitely been in the jungle too long.	06.04.2009 06.05.2009	D	DeAnn Welker
1-3 Weecap	Less Speidi Than Before Episode 3 - Surely this episode doesn't deserve a B- because ... it's this show. But the Speidi is limited to less than five minutes, which automatically bumps it at least two letter grades. That's the curve we're dealing with on this crazy show.	06.03.2009 06.04.2009	B-	DeAnn Welker
1-2 Weecap	Speidi Nonsense Episode 2 - Spencer and Heidi's antics go from sort of entertaining to ridiculous and annoying, but then they leave. But will they be back? We can only hope that NBC is smart enough not to let that happen.	06.02.2009 06.03.2009	D-	DeAnn Welker
1-1 Weecap	Get Them All Out Of Here Episode 1 - We'd probably be a lot better off if every crazy "celebrity" on this show ran fleeing from the "jungle." But since we're stuck here anyway, we can't imagine it gets much more entertaining than Speidi, Janice Dickinson, faux-hawked Sanjaya, and Stephen Baldwin.	06.01.2009 06.02.2009	C-	DeAnn Welker
