  • ^1 Elimination Immunity was determined per the following:
    • Day 8: As Cyrell and Gary were the team captains, they were immune from being selected for the elimination challenge by the other team. The Gold team was also told that they could not select George as he had only been in the jungle for three days.
    • Day 11: All the female contestants were immune for this elimination due to seven male and four female contestants remaining.
    • Day 13: Dyson and Luke were immune and given the opportunity to select the celebrities going into elimination due to surviving the previous elimination challenge.
    • Day 15: Noone was immune, the two celebrities chosen for elimination were chosen by "The Letters of Doom". Each celebrity picked up a letter, and the two celebrities with a red X in their letter were sent to the elimination.
    • Day 16: All the male contestants were immune for this elimination as they had to choose two girls to go to elimination.
      • While not immune, the male contestants chose to avoid nominating Rebekah as she already competed in an elimination.
    • Day 17: As Cyrell, Gary, Luke and Rebekah had already faced an elimination challenge, they were immune for this eliminated,
      • Due to this Concetta, George and Nath were automatically selected being the only celebrities to not have done an elimination challenge.
    • Day 18: The celebrities had to vote the two celebrities they most wanted to see in the finale/win. Cyrell, Rebekah and Gary had a three-way tie for the fewest votes and as a result, Concetta, Luke and Nath had to choose two of the three celebrities for the elimination.

Tucker trials

The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food. These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities. Success is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial, with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates.

  The celebrity's name was drawn from "Royce the tiny Rhino"
  The contestants decided who did which trial
  The trial was compulsory and the celebrities did not decide who took part, nor was a name drawn from "Royce the tiny Rhino".
  The contestants were chosen by the evicted celebrities
  The voting for the trial was of dual origin

Notes

  • ^2 The name of the trial was not officially revealed.
  • ^3 The maximum number of stars in this trial was nine instead of twelve, due to three celebrities being marooned in the Elephants' graveyard.
  • ^4 The celebrities won a full nine stars for the nine celebrities in the main camp, however this was upgraded to twelve stars upon saving Cyrell, Gary and Rebekah from the Elephants' Graveyard
  • ^5 George, as an intruder had to complete the Balancing Act trial with Gary as part of his entry into camp.
  • ^6 In episode 7, the camp was split into teams (Green and Gold) chosen by Gary and Cyrell as George had ranked them as the most and least famous campmates. Members of the teams would go head to head in trials where only the winner would get food for their team. The camp was reunited as one before the Networking trial.
  • ^7 Gary and Cyrell, as team captains picked the trialists for each of their teams.
  • ^8 Barry was chosen by "Royce the Tiny Rhino" and was made to pick the other three celebrities.
  • ^9 Instead of stars, the celebrities were aiming to win McDonalds El Maco burgers, fries and soft drinks for the entire camp. They completed the whole trial and won El Maco Beef Burgers, El Maco McCrispy burgers, fries and soft drinks for the entire camp.
  • ^10 The trialists were picked by "AI" and not necessarily "Royce the Tiny Rhino".
  • ^11 Stars in this trial were won by the celebrities choosing eliminated celebrities to answer questions. For each correct question answered they earned half a star. As by the final questions the celebrities had only earned half a star, Julia announced that the final question would be worth three stars which the celebrities got correct.
  • ^12 The trial was sponsored by Domain. After the trial ended, the celebrities were presented with a box filed with home comforts and to win the contents of the box, they had to answer one question without help from the eliminated celebrities. They had to name what Julia had mentioned she was missing most from home before the trial, and answered it correctly, winning the contents of the box which were later revealed to be freshly baked cookies.

Secret Challenges

Luke, Mia, Nath and Rebekah's secret mission (Day 12)

After the trial on Day 12, Luke, Mia, Nath and Rebekah were instructed to not tell their other campmates that they had won McDonalds and lied saying that they had only managed to win 4 stars. The completed this secret mission and the entire camp was awarded with their McDonalds for dinner that night.

Nath's secret mission (Day 13)

During Episode 13, to win a surprise birthday present, Nath had to complete three tasks while wearing silly underpants. Nath had to do ten lunges, hug a campmate and stoke the fire without his secret being discovered. After completing the tasks however Rebekah, George and Barry discovered his secret. Luckily it was completed before the campmates found out and Nath won the camp hot chocolate and a pamper back.

George's secret mission (Day 16)

During Episode 16, a game was played in the camp where each celebrity had to answer a simple question about themselves in order to win an ElMaco Chicken McWrap and would all almost certainly answer their questions correctly. An hour before the game, George was assigned secretly sabotage the challenge being "the mole" and to intentionally give a wrong answer. The celebrities thought they were playing for an El Maco Chicken McWrap each, however if George succeeded in his mission, they would not only all win McWraps but would also win a large soft drink for everyone as well. George succeeded in his challenge and acted down on himself enough to carry the story, winning a Wrap and large soft drink for everyone in camp.

Rebekah's secret mission (Day 18)

During Episode 18, Rebekah was secretly assigned to give each of her five remaining campmates an "obscure compliment". However, Nath had caught on, stupidly asking if she was on a secret mission, and Rebekah's attempt at the secret mission was deemed the worst attempt at a secret mission in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here history and the reward was left unknown.

Elephants' Graveyard

A new addition for this season saw the introduction of the Elephants' Graveyard, a separate campsite where certain celebrities were sent to stay, celebrities in this campsite had to win a challenge in order to escape the Elephants' Graveyard and return to camp. The campsite was later used for the elimination challenges.
