The Best Of Both (geek) Worlds

So this coming Sunday in the UK is the start of yet another series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

This is a show where a host of (usually) C-list celebrities get stranded in an Australian jungle, and have to perform trials to earn food and luxuries. These Bushtucker Trials usually equate to getting covered in insects or snakes, and not panicking while a physical task is performed. It's actually quite good fun, and has produced the couple that dethroned the Beckhams as the UK's leading family, Katie 'Jordan' Price and Peter Andre.

This year, however, apart from the usual C-listers, it seems George Takei is taking part! Go geekdom!!

But who is George Takei, I hear you cry? And I reply with a shame on you, if you didn't know. Takei is Sulu, from Star Trek. And if that isn't enough, here's his pic:

In case you don't actually watch Star Trek (and for shame if you don't!) he has also appeared in Heroes, as Hiro's dad.



So, as you can imagine, this is the most excited I have been about a reality TV show since Dirk Benedict appeared on Big Brother. Roll on Sunday!
