NBC Photo: Tyler Golden"They're kids. They're very immature," says comedian Angela V. Shelton, who was the first celebrity to be voted out of the jungle on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, about Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, who famously quit the show then begged to come back.
"I think Spencer and Heidi operate on a different form of energy than the rest of us, which may, in fact, be the dark forces," she told reporters this morning. "I think their attacks on people are personal and unprovoked. They have a tendency toward low blows."
Low blows and all, it looks like Speidi will indeed be returning to the show on the Monday night episode. But why would the likes of fellow castmates like Janice Dickinson, Stephen and Daniel Baldwin allow them back? "I think this is a group of people who are going to give people a second chance," Angela explained. "I don't think they're going to punish them or make it hard for them. I think they will be totally open to having them back. And [letting] them have a chance to maybe act right."
Or is it that the producers want the couple back for ratings? In one breath, Sheldon "swears" [the producers] "are guiding nothing." But when pressed, she admits, "I think we had a vote. We voted no. And they are still getting an opportunity to come back. So that shows you how good the voting is. They are all about giving people chances and working with each other. And if Spencer and Heidi can come back and be a part of the team, I know that they will be accepted. I absolutely know it."
Here's what else the funnylady had to say about the celeb world's most hated couple...
Speidi's Love of PR: "They are definitely people who are 24/7 on their j-o-b of promoting themselves. That's their gig. That's what they do."
The Spencer-Angela Incident: "I got hit. Do I believe he wanted to hit me? No. Do I believe he was trying to be absolutely physically threatening? Of course he was. He was in my face, and he slapped something out of my hand. He made contact with my hand. I don't think it was his goal to make contact with my hand, but he didn't control that either. His goal was to be as physically intimidating as possible, and I think that's reprehensible and absolutely ridiculous."
Speidi's Relationship: "You just hit upon one of the positive things I can say about them. What Heidi and Spencer have shown me is that there is truly somebody on this planet for everyone. Together they are united. They cuddle. They're very loving to each other in their own weird evil way. They are made for each other."
Speidi's Mental State: "I think he's very unhinged. I'm trying to figure out how he passed the psych evaluation, and by what margin. He'll tell you that. He knows it. They're both crazy. They both kind of take turns on some of the crazy. They are slightly different kinds of crazy."
Speidi's Participation: "I don't think any of us got to know them. They really did not spend much time with us. They were either asleep or off in front of a camera somewhere alone, and they just did not participate in the camp. And whenever they were there, they were just kind of hollering about their products and endorsement." (Cue Heidi's dry shampoo!) The first night we had that torture tank, they didn't even get in. They didn't even try."
Speidi Quitting the Show: "They quit a good 10-20 times. It became ridiculous. We all stopped saying goodbye. No, I don't think they should be able to come back at all. Literally, the first thing they said was, 'We're not going to be here long anyway.' They said that their other show, The Hills, was going to start taping soon, and they had no intention of being there very long anyway."
Speidi's Special Treatment: "No. There were jungle rumors. [The producers] have not broken their rules. If they did it with Spencer and Heidi, they did it extremely quietly, and I don't think they did."
Should Speidi be allowed back on the show? What do you think of their antics?
