"Here on I'm a celebrity, GET ME OUT OF HEEERREEEE"
Blaine jolted awake to the sound of yelling.
"What? What was that?!" he asked, sitting upright.
"That was Ant and Dec, they're doing their bit just before the opening titles" Matt informed him. "This letter came. We were going to wait for you to open it"
Blaine got up and took the letter that Matt was holding out for him.
"Celebrities. Blaine has been chosen to do today's Dingo Dollar challenge. He will go up against the chosen member of Croc Creek to compete in a small challenge to win 100 Dingo Dollars. The winner of the challenge will go to a kiosk where they will see Kiosk Keith. There will be two option as to what you can spend your Dingo Dollars on. Once you've picked one, Kiosk Keith will call up your camp mates and ask them a question. If they give the correct answer, you will take home your selected prize. If not, you go back empty handed. If you lose the Dingo Dollar challenge, you go back empty handed"
They all glanced at each other. Blaine was the first to speak up. "They said a small challenge, so it can't be too hard. I won yesterday's trial, I might be able to win this too. So, I'm going to get showered, get changed, and go win us some treats!"
Everyone whooped and cheered, and Blaine went off to have a shower.
I think this is actually going okay. I think Kurt would be proud of me for taking charge. God, I miss him so much. This whole experiance is pretty fun, but it would be so much better if Kurt was here. I know it's only been a few days, but still. I haven't even heard his voice in those three days. Technically this only our second day in the jungle, because apparently the first one didn't count, but I don't care, I've been away from him way too long. I'm pretty good friends with everyone in camp now...maybe Kurt would agree to inviting them to the wedding?
Blaine finished his shower and dressed in clean clothes, and headed off for the Dingo Dollar challenge. When he got there, a small, slightly large woman was waiting for him.
"Hey, you must be the person from Croc Creek! I'm Blaine Anderson" Blaine grinned, holding out his hand.
"Jo Brand" the woman smiled, taking his hand.
"Nice to meet you Jo. So, what do we have to do?" he asked, putting a hand on his hip.
"There's a note attatched to the tree, I was waiting for you to get here so that we could read it"
"Let's read it then" Blaine laughed, jogging over to the tree.
"Jo and Blaine. Somewhere on this tree, puzzle pieces are hidden, blue for Snake Rock and red for Croc Creek. There are 12 puzzle pieces each for you to find. Once you've found your puzzle pieces, you must put together the puzzle. On the puzzle, you'll see a four number code. Once you've found the code, you have to put the code into your padlock. Once the padlock has been unlocked, your Dingo Dollars will fall down. The first person to get their Dingo Dollars will win. Good luck"
Jo and Blaine scrambled around the tree, searching for their puzzle pieces. Blaine found his first, and frantically started fitting them together, with Jo not too far behind him, setting her puzzle pieces down on the floor. After 10 minutes of annoyance, Blaine finally put the last piece of the puzzle together, memorized the code and fumbled to put it in the padlock. Just as he put the last number in the padlock, Jo put the first in hers. Blaine's Dingo Dollars fell down, and he whooped, picking them up.
"Well done" Jo congratulated him, giving him a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I would have won if you weren't so bloody energetic" she laughed.
"Sorry about that" Blaine laughed.
They said goodbye, and went off in opposite directions, Blaine carrying the sack of Dingo Dollars. He got to the Kiosk and looked at the choices.
"5 hammocks or 5 packets of crisps"
Crisps are chips. Sure, if I get them they'll taste great, but if I get the hammocks we won't get crawled on by bugs and stuff, and it's better for the long run.
"5 hammocks please" he said, dropping the sack on the table. Kiosk Keith picked up the phone and called camp.
"Hi, Matt? Blaine won today's Dingo Dollar challenge, and in order for him to bring home the prize, you have to answer this question correctly. Blaine Anderson is the American celeb in this year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. He lives in New York City. Where did he orginally come from?" he heard Kiosk Keith say. "Is it A) Ohio, or B) Los Angeles. Is that your final answer? Okay, thank you"
Kiosk Keith put down the phone, and passed Blaine the hammocks.
"YES!" Blaine yelled, unable to keep the smile off his face. "Thanks!"
Blaine walked back to camp feeling proud of himself.
"Blaine! Did you win?" Fearne asked, running to the entrance of the camp.
"Yeh! 5 hammocks! We don't have to sleep on the floor anymore!" Blaine laughed.
They set up the hammocks and tested them out.
"So, who was the person you were up against?" Russell asked.
"Jo Brand" Blaine told him, bouncing slightly in his hammock to test it out.
"Nice! Okay, so we know who two people are in the other camp. Kelly Holmes and Jo Brand. Just three more to go"
"Guys, a letter's coming down!" Lacey pointed at the letter being lowered down above them. Matt grabbed it and read it out.
"Celebrities. Tomorrow, you will join Croc Creek at their camp for the rest of your experience in the jungle. You will need to be up early to pack your bags and head over to the camp, that is located five minutes away from yours. Enjoy your last night in Snake Rock"
"What!" Fearne jumped up and grabbed the letter, re-reading it. "I don't want to go! We just got here, we've all bonded, our camps so nice and tidy and we all get along, what if they're all horrible! It's going to be so overcrowded as well"
Everyone silently agreed, but just cooked their rice and beans as there had been no trial that day, and went to bed. Blaine curled up in a ball in his hammock, and again imagined that his pillow was Kurt. He started softly crying, not caring if this was being shown on TV. He just wanted Kurt. He just wanted Kurt in his arms, Kurt's lips against his, to hear Kurt tell him how much he loves him, to just lay there and hold him. He just wanted Kurt. It felt like he hadn't seen him in months. How was he going to survive another three weeks? He hid his face in the pillow and continued crying through the night.

"We don't know what Blaine was so upset about, but clearly something has gotten to him, maybe he's missing his family? I don't know, that's all we have for tonight, don't forget to keep voting for who you want to do the Bushtucker Trial tomorrow, we'll see you tomorrow here on I'm a celebrity GET ME OUT OF HEREEEE"
"And CUT!" the director called. Ant and Dec moved off to the side to talk to some of the crew.
"Do you think we should go down to Blaine? He's been crying for an hour now. Normally we wouldn't go down and check on them if they're crying, but that's because it usually lasts for about two minutes then they're fine again. Something's clearly wrong" Ant said to the filming crew, who nodded their approval and told Dec to go down to him.
Dec walked across the bridge and down the stairs to the camp, searching for a bit in the dark before finding Blaine sobbing silently in his hammock. He tapped him on the shoulder and gestured for him to follow him, so as not to disturb the other celebrities. Blaine got up and followed Dec to where Ant and Dec usually present the show, and where the celebrities go after they've been voted off the show for a quick interview before they leave the jungle forever.
"Do you want to take a seat?" Dec asked, pointing to the seat opposite the one he just sat down in. Blaine nodded and sat in the seat, burying his head in his hands. "Listen, we're worried about you. If you don't like it, you can go home now, and we'll tell the other celebrities in the morning, the public don't have to know the reason, we would just say that you chose to leave the show. If it's too much, you don't have to be here you know"
"No, no. I don't want to leave or anything. Well, I do, but I don't. I just really miss my fiancee, you know? Ever since I met him, we've never gone a single day without talking to each other, and if either one of us was away for some reason, we would call or Skype every day. I know it's only been three days, but I miss him like crazy, I hate that he's just not here. I love him more than life, and it's killing me not knowing if he's okay, what he's been up to, how he's holding up...if anything happened to him, someone would contact the show and I would know about it, right?" Blaine asked, suddenly sitting up.
"Of course they would, and you would be taken out of the show immediatly to go see him, but I'm afraid, right now, there's nothing we can do, except offer you the chance to leave the show, but I think you made it clear that that's not what you want. Let me ask you a question, Blaine. Why did you agree to come here if you knew how much you would miss....sorry, I don't know his name, what's he called?"
"Kurt" Blaine told him. "I came here because I thought it would be fun, and it is, it really is, and I'd do anything to make him proud of me. I hope to god he's proud.
"That's really sweet Blaine. Now, why don't you go back to camp and try and sleep, everyday in the jungle is a big day"
Blaine laughed and headed back down to camp. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. If only he didn't miss Kurt so damned much

relieved to see that nothing gross has happened yet! are you planning to have the two finalists do things as utterly disgusting as what charlie and ashley did? cuz i hope not...
I hate to tell you this, but that's how the show works. That wasn't just this year, every year the final two have an eating challenge, there's always one before that as well, it's usually the second Bushtucker Trial...sorry!
Loving this story! This would be my favourite combination of celebrities on the show, can't wait to read the other chapters :D
Aww, thank you! I'm trying to think of another three right now, and failing rather badly, because I'm trying to make sure that they haven't been on the show before as well...it's pretty hard :P
