Vegetarian Star

Sad news for those rooting for John Salley on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!

Spider legs Salley came in third, behind Torrie Wilson, and Lou Diamond Phillips taking the cake.

Before the final showdown all three finalist had to endure a “jungle spa,” consisting of creepy crawlers, baby crocodiles, and mealworms to win a gourmet meal.

No one was a loser in that round (or perhaps they all were because they had to put up with that) and all three got their grub on.

John had a tofu burger waiting for him, but Torrie’s meal choice wasn’t too shabby either, as she requested a vegetarian pizza. Lou Diamond? Fried chicken! Boo!

Lou’s charity of choice, Art Has Heart Foundation, will get a fat check for his victory. The organization awards scholarships to lower-income high school students.

“I wanted to smack John for talking trash to the other cast members during the challenge. Just because he is a vegetarian doesn’t mean he can call people names that aren’t. Everyone was aware of what they were eating. They did not need him reminding them every ten seconds, and saying how disgusting it is.”

—-Gina, writer for Realitywanted.com, on John Salley’s attitude about the food on a I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here challenge. Salley has had his share of comments bleeped out from television. But when you’re looking at your options of cow tongue or bull testicles, it’s hard to keep your opinion to yourself.

So we’re tracking John Salley‘s dietary habits on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, to see how well he sticks to his vegan regime in the jungle.

An early episode had John and Heidi Pratt duking it out in an eating contest that involved a rat’s tail. No points for staying vegan that week, John.

However, on last night’s episode, John was set to compete in yet another contest, jungle worm eating, but quit.

Did the bad press get to him? Or did he just decide it wasn’t worth giving up his principles to be able to smoke Sanjaya?

John lost the lovely privilege of getting to eat leaf cutter ants, bull’s testicle, and cow tongue in the next rounds.

In case you care, Heidi and Spencer quit the show again.

Basketball legend John Salley is set to appear on the NBC reality TV show I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. I’m a Celebrity will feature 10 celebrities trying to survive in the Costa Rican jungle.

Salley is vegan, but doesn’t think that will hurt his chances in the competition. Let’s just hope there aren’t any eating contests involving kangaroo penis like the one that screwed over Timmy Mallet.

From a recent interview with nba.fanhouse.com:

You are also a devout vegan. Do you think that will be a strike against you right off the bat?
No, it’s a strike for me, because I’m really not hungry for fake food – I’m only hungry for real food (laughs). So, I’m not going to miss any of the processed things. I’ve mostly cleared my body of the desire for sugar and plastic food. Plus, I’m a vegan because every day I make sure my body stays as clean as I can possibly get it so I can have a better life. If I have to eat certain things during tasks to get to the ultimate goal, it’s not going to take away from the fact that I’m a vegan. I mean, I’ve prepared my body; so in case anything bad does come to it, I can fight it off.

Salley earned the nickname “Spider Salley” because he is horrified by spiders. His biggest fear is a tarantula, but as long as they’re not on the menu for I’m a Celebrity, he’s cool with it.

“So, I said, ‘You know what? I know it’s in the jungle. As long as I don’t have to eat a live one, I’m cool.'”
