No line-up is complete without a reality TV alum who treats every trial like a Shakespearean tragedy. This year, it’s a woman from a dating show who once had a famous crying meme. She’ll spend day one complaining about the lack of a mirror and day three declaring an existential crisis over a missing sock. You’ll groan, but you’ll also pause the telly to rewind her best quote. It’s like watching a friend who brings drama to a quiet dinner party—you can’t look away.

You’ve got another classic: the ex-politician who everyone expects to be boring, but who ends up being the camp’s resident gossip. They’ll trade stories about the House of Commons for a cup of cold tea. Suddenly, politics sounds way more entertaining than I remember. “Did you know the PM cries during Frozen?” they’ll whisper. I’m here for that.
The "So Unbothered It’s Endearing" One
My personal favorite is always the sports star’s spouse or the rock star’s ex. They’ve seen things. They will not be fazed by a bucket of worms. This year, it’s a woman who once toured with a heavy metal band and now runs a yoga retreat. She’ll do a trial in silence, meditate through a storm, and then casually reveal she’s afraid of feathers. You’ll nod, because we all have that one weird fear. For me, it’s the sound of Styrofoam. For her, it’s a pigeon’s wing. The jungle brings out the quirks.
And of course, there’s the obligatory young TikTok influencer who gets a shock when the jungle doesn’t have Wi-Fi. They’ll spend the first two days twitching for likes. But give them a week, and they’ll be the one teaching the Olympian how to do a viral dance for a bag of rice. It’s a beautiful, confusing disaster.
